7.3.1.1 Barcode File Actions

When a barcode file is processed automatically or manually, one of three actions are performed specified for each item in the barcode file: ■ Check In on page 7-8 ■ Check Out on page 7-8 Set Home Actual on page 7-8

7.3.1.1.1 Check In The Check In barcode action assigns an item to the location specified

in the barcode file for the item. It is only the current location that is set, not the permanent location. Both the location and the item must already exist in Physical Content Management. If either does not exist, an error is reported. [The location must already exist in the defined storage space hierarchy in Physical Content Management. If an item to be checked in does not yet exist in Physical Content Management, it is created and assigned to the specified location. If the item already exists, its current location is updated to match the value in the barcode file.]

7.3.1.1.2 Check Out The Check Out barcode action checks an item out to the user

specified in the barcode file for the item typically obtained by scanning a user label. The status for the item is set to Checked Out and its checkout user to the specified user both values are shown on the Physical Item Information page. The items current location is automatically set to the value of the Deliver To Location field for the associated reservation request if there is one. If no value was entered in that field or if no reservation request exists, the current location is set to OTHER, and the Location Comment field will show the name of the checkout user.

7.3.1.1.3 Set Home Actual The Set Location barcode action assigns an item to the

current and permanent locations specified in the barcode file for that item, allowing it to be moved to a different location. Both the locations and the item must already exist in Physical Content Management. If any of them do not exist, an error is reported. The locations and items must already exist in the defined storage space hierarchy in Physical Content Management. The item’s current and permanent locations are updated to match the values in the barcode file.
