Deleting a copy

When a copy is no longer a part of your collection, you can delete its information.

Keep in mind that deleting a copy also deletes its holds, fines, and statistics.

Deleting a copy is an irreversible action. However, if you delete a copy with

pending transactions, the application generates an exception report listing the

copy's barcode, former copy status, and any actions taken on related patron

records, including fine amounts.
To delete an individual copy, first locate the record (see Finding MARC

records..." on page 240). From the MARC View window (see page 285), highlight

the copy you want to delete, and click Delete Copy. At the message, click Yes.

Warning:

Once you verify the deletion, the process can not be stopped or

reversed.

If you need to delete several copies at once, and the library has a PHD,

see page 342 for instructions.

To delete several copies at once using a scanner, see page 337.

To globally delete copies with copy status of Lost or an inventory status of

Missing, see page 330.

To automatically delete a title record when its last copy is deleted, open the

System Setup module, select Setup | Cataloging | Misc, and select the Delete

Title When Last Copy is Deleted check box. A title record deletion then occurs

whether the copy is deleted manually or by a Cataloging feature such as Delete

Copies via PHD, Delete Copies via Scanner, Global Delete Lost Copies, or Global

Delete Missing Copies. If you manually delete a copy in the MARC View

window, before the actual title deletion occurs, a confirmation message appears.

This prevents any unintentional deletions while you are cataloging.
