The Inventory action can be used when file parts or boxes are returned to the file room, and when the system doesn't know the current status or location of the item. Performing an inventory updates the location of the item, and checks in the item if it's currently listed as checked-out.

  1. Start the application.

  2. On the toolbar, select Inventory.

  3. Update the following fields:

    NOTE: The Vendor field may be displayed. For more information, refer to Setting or changing the warehouse vendor for boxes.

    • New Location: Scan or select  and then select the new home location for the file part or box.

    • Item: Scan the barcode ID or enter the fully qualified ID (for example, 01.001.MEM) for the box or file part that's being inventoried.

  4. Press the Tab key or select Process.
    The action and results are displayed in the History pane. The circulation status of the top-level items contained in the file part or box is updated, and is displayed in the Item Contents list.

  5. To print a report of the results of this action, refer to Printing History.
