Transfer file of barcodes to a Review File

The T > TRANSFER file of barcodes to a Review File option in the Inventory Control menu allows you to transfer a file of barcodes scanned in using a portable bar code reader to a review file.

The barcodes in the file do not have to be in shelf list order.

By using Create Lists, you can print the barcode and circulation status of the scanned items in order to inventory items which are in special locations, such as in a carrel.

When you select the T > TRANSFER file of barcodes to a Review File menu option, system prompts:

Choose the barcodes (rdi) file you would like to transfer to a review file by entering its line number. The system prompts you:

Transfer completed. Remove transferred file rdicarrels? (y/n?)

When the data has been transferred to a review file, you can safely remove the barcodes (rdi) file from the system.

Use the standard Create Lists functions to create the inventory list the library needs, e.g., to print the barcode and circulation status of the scanned items in order to verify that they are checked out to the particular carrel in which they were found.
