[Koha] Re: inventory.pl not working for me

[Matthew Metzger]

Hello,

I checked our database and itemcallnumber is set to NULL on all records. 
Bad news for me. What needs to be done so that I can do inventory? I 
assume that the itemcallnumber for each record has to be manually entered.

thanks for your time and help,

Matthew
