Creating Item Records for Serials Issues

In Serials, you can create item records for issues, supplements, and indexes that you have previously checked in. In order to create an item record, the checkin card box must have a Status of "ARRIVED", and the box cannot already have item records for each checked-in piece.

1. Choose Serials Checkin from the Function list.
2. Retrieve the checkin card, and select the box for which you want to create an item record.
3. Choose Tools | Box Menu | Create Item for Box.
4. If the serial has multiple copies, enter the copy number of the copy for which you want to create an item record.

5. Follow the steps described in Entering Data into New Records.
