After selecting the option New or Modify an input form will be displayed

This is a separate table which allows the library to set up the number of items allowed at a location based on item category and statistical category. For example, if this parameter is set to 500 for CDs, this parameter is checked (AFO412 -  Returns) to decide whether or not the floating stock algorithm is activated. If the location/ statistical category combination at this location has 502 CD's at the moment, we do not keep the item. If the location/ statistical category combination at this location currently has 495 CD's, it will keep the copy that was just returned.

When you select multiple statistical categories, each statistical category can have the Number of items allowed. If you do not enter specific values for an item category/ statistical category combination, the value for Number of items allowed in the Parameters per item category setting will be checked when determining if the item should follow floating stock logic.

If you do not want to restrict floating stock by statistical category, leave this table empty.
