The Stock Check dialog is a specialised bolt-on to the Package Management System. The Stock Check dialog allows you to create a group items (or even all items in the database) that you wish to perform a stock check upon.
Because of the nature if the package management system, you are able to create packages covering the entire catalogue, or simply sub-sets of the catalogue allowing you to stock check the library in a progressive manner. This is also particularly useful of your library is physically divided into different locations, such as a distributed library in an educational environment.
Creating a Stock Check Package
While a stock check package can be created in the main package manager, the most convenient place to do so is here in the stock check manager itself.
Click the [Create] toolbar icon and enter a descriptive title for the package. Note that you do not need to enter a date, as a date of creation is automatically recorded within the package description.
If you wish this stock check to be in regards to all items in the database, make sure that you select the check-box provided to automatically include all items in the package,
Removing an Existing Stock Check Package
If you wish to remove a package, select the package from the [Stock Package:] drop-down pick-list then click the [Remove] toolbar icon.
Note that once a Stock Package is removed it can not be recovered.
Adding Additional Items
If you chose not to include all items in the stock check package you can add additional items using the Package Manager.
