Finalizing an inventory

After you enter a barcode for every Unmarked item that you can locate, you are

ready to finalize your inventory. Make sure to:

S

Check the Inventory Statistics at the bottom of the Inventory main window.

S

Print an Inventory List by Call Number to identify any Unmarked items. This

lets you see if any sections or shelves were missed.

See Generating an Inventory List by Call Number" on page 558.

During the Finalize Inventory processing, Inventory changes the inventory status

of each remaining Unmarked item to Missing and records the year. After you

finalize your inventory, the number of items identified as Marked and Missing

will equal the total number of records in your system.

Important:

To finalize your inventory, you must have exclusive access to the

database. This means that no other Follett applications may be open

at any workstation except for the search modules, such as OPAC and

WebCollection Plus.

To finalize an inventory, from the Inventory main window, click Finalize or select

Inventory | Finalize Inventory. A message appears asking if you are sure you

want to finalize your inventory. To continue, click Yes. The Finalizing Inventory

progress dialog appears.
When the finalizing process is finished, check the number shown for Copies

Missing and close the Finalize Inventory progress dialog. If you are certain you

inventoried your entire collection, see the next section, Printing reports of your

Missing items." However, if you think you missed a section of your collection,

see Resetting Missing copies" on page 231.
