<h1>Inventory/Stocktaking</h1><h2>How do I use this feature?</h2>
<p>This inventory feature works by using the &quot;Last Seen Date&quot; as criteria for building reports. From these reports the library can identify which items are missing.</p>
<h2>How do I get a file of barcodes to upload?&nbsp;</h2>
<p>The easiest way to generate the barcode file is to scan the barcodes of all the items on the shelf in situ to a text file. This can be done using a standard keyboard wedge type Barcode scanner and a Laptop, or using a handheld PC with an integrated scanner (e.g Palm or iPaq).</p><p>Save the file locally to your machine and then when you are attached to the network, open the Inventory/Stocktaking page again and use the &quot;Browse&quot; feature to find the file on your local drive.&nbsp; Now set the last seen to the date you wish to use (normally today's date). </p>
<h2>How do I find what items are missing?</h2>
<p>Now you have set the Last Seen Date of the items, you can use that as a criteria to generate a report. Use the &quot;Select items you want to check&quot; feature to generate this report. </p><p>NOTE: If you have scanned all the items in your library, you will not need to change any of the default criteria.</p><p>Set the &quot;Not seen since&quot; date to the day <strong>before </strong>the date you used when you set the &quot;Last Seen Date&quot; when uploading the barcode file.</p><p>Press the &quot;Submit&quot; button to generate the list of items that Koha has not seen. </p>
