You need a third item's field: sourcebranch. (1) When you move the batch of items from library A to B, create a text file containing items' barcodes. Then batch modify those items: sourcebranch=A homebranch=B holdingbranch=B (2) During the exams period, no transfer to A will be done at check-in. If the check-in is done at library A or C, the transfer to B will be proposed, which is what you want.
