Inventory/Stocktaking Koha 3.0
It's the end of the year and we are attempting inventory again. Just want to find out if anyone has used the inventory module in Koha 3.0. We've scanned our whole collection and are not sure if what we are doing is the right thing. In Inventory/Stocktaking we are uploading our barcode file and then setting the last date seen to today's date. The results that show up are the number of items modified : datelastseen set to 06/04/2010 (today's date) Some barcodes show up as well with the message barcode not found. I guess our biggest question is how do we know if we scanned everything or if something is missing? Are we missing a step? We would like to be able to get a list of items that were not scanned that includes title, call number and barcode so we can go look for them. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Marie The next step is to craft a report in the reports that selects all items that are not marked as seen today, I think there is one in the sql library on the wiki. Hopefully someone will look it up for (I'm at a family reunion without a computer .. and patchy 3G) Hope this helps Chris On 6 Jun 2010 02:29, "Marie Wardall" <mwardall@dce.k12.wi.us> wrote: It's the end of the year and we are attempting inventory again.

Marie, You just need to use the report tool in the same inventory module (to the left of the block where you upload barcode files). Just set the "Not See Since" date to a date before you started your stock taking. The results should show you what items have not been scanned or are missing.
