[Koha] Checkout without barcode

Is there a simple way to checkout books without a barcode? I'm currently in the process of inventorying and barcoding all our materials, but in the meantime, it would be super useful to be able to checkout materials by looking them up by name/author/etc.  So far I have not been able to find a way to do this.  There's no check out to patron option after searching the catalog, and the checkout process only allows for barcodes as the entry method. Currently I have the catalog search open in one tab and the checkout in the other and copy and paste from one to the other to check items out. Hoping someone can offer me a better solution. Thanks, Robert
