| “Shelved” radio button | When this radio button is selected, the contents are registered as “shelved” at the selected branch.

| “Sent to central sorting” radio button | When this radio button is selected, the contents will be registered as “sent to central sorting” from the selected branch. The special placement of “sent to central sorting” plays a significant role in relation to Automatic error correction.

| “Missing” radio button | When this radio button is selected, the contents will be registered as discarded with discard code given by the system parameter Discard code used for "not found". |
ATTN! Immediately after the items are moved, the search results for P10.5 will be temporarily updated with the items’ new placement. Once the relocation has been carried out on the server, subsequent search results will reflect the items’ new placement.
