*Please note: Make sure you do not already have holdings records at the destination location. (For example, a bib with two holdings Main and Reference, and you are moving items from Main to Reference). Normally what happens is Alma retains the current holdings record and just changes the location information. All the information in the holdings record is retained, and just the location is updated. When there is an existing holdings record at the destination location, the item is added to that holdings record, and the information from the original holdings record is lost.
