Title-Level Requesting and Migration
FOLIO supports title-level requesting, though it is in development with each release; your library should review the current functionality of title-level requesting for your planned FOLIO release and decide if you want to start with title-level requesting on or off.
The main consideration is that the first time title-level requesting is turned, FOLIO should have no open requests in the Requests app.
The reason for this requirement is that title-level requesting requires managing queues of requests, and if there are open requests previously placed at the item level, there is no way for FOLIO to be able to determine how to manage the ranking and queues for title-level requesting on that associated instance.
So, if your library wants to use title-level requesting, it is much easier to use it from the beginning of when you first implement FOLIO in your production environment, because you can start that environment fresh and not have to figure out how to close out the request queue to implement title-level.

If the request policy doesn't allow any requests to be placed, the request will be denied.The
