http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9157 Bug ID: 9157 Summary: inventory tool enhancement Classification: Unclassified Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Tools Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Reporter: melia@bywatersolutions.com One library's workflow is such that volunteers go around and scan barcodes during a month long inventory process. At the end of the month, the librarian uploads the .txt files using the inventory tool. The problem is that some of the items have been checked out over the course of that month. For example, perhaps the item was on the shelf in August and was scanned by a volunteer, but then the item was checked out to a patron in September. When the librarian uploads the text file later in September, Koha updates the date last seen to today, even though the real date last seen is the date that the item was checked out to the patron. The librarian would prefer that the inventory tool were enhanced so that it's smart enough to skip any items that are currently checked out at the time the .txt file is uploaded. For this library, inventory is a long process that is not done in 'real time,' so their use of the inventory tool is a bit different from how it was designed to be used. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
