Cause

The "Available in Library" field of the Item is not editable via the item record.

Resolution

Notice that you cannot edit the value of the field "Available in Library" directly in the item record. In order to change its value use the following steps:

  1. In the item record look for the field "Library SKU" and copy it's value
  2. Go to Finance > Master Inventory
  3. Search for the item either:
    • by using the Library SKU copied in the previous steps in the SKU field
    • by enabling the item field and searching directly there
  4. Click in the icon to edit the item
  5. Check the "Available in Library" checkbox and hit in "Apply Changes"

If the value of the field is set to 'No', then the Users will not be able to find the item in a Library search. If the field displays the value 'Yes', the item may be searched in the catalog (provided the other requirements for it are correct).
