My understanding is that you want a report that lists items where there is
no barcode for the record.

There is not a standard report in Koha to do this. However, it is possible
by creating your own custom report.

I'm not very familiar with creating Koha SQL reports.  Tools to help you
create a custom report:

   - Nicole has produced some videos on creating reports (some are for
   earlier versions, but they are still relevant):
   http://bywatersolutions.com/?cat=56&s=report
   - The manual has a great section on writing custom reports:
   http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/reports.html
   - The Koha database schema:
   http://schema.koha-community.org/index.html
   - The Koha SQL reports library:
   http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library

I would suggest you try and create a report using some of the above
material.

If you can't get a report to work properly - post it back to the list along
with the error message or problem, and the version of Koha you are using.
Someone more familiar with SQL reports maybe able to help you identify the
problem/point you in the right direction.

If you are really lucky someone may have already created such a report and
can share it with you.
