I quote here Pierre Angot (in bug 9780 comments) "I prefer having a warn message on item deletion when AcqCreateItem is "when placing an order". Maybe it would be usefull with all positions of AcqCreateItem syspref, but it seems to be more critical for "when placing an order" position. Suppressing items should NOT be forbidden, because the book could have been lost or withdrawn (and some libraries does not use the "lost" and "withdrawn" value of item, but merely delete the item) But there could be some warns, and maybe limiting the right to delete items to librarians with acq permissions.
