*26 JUL 2000 = date
exception found.
*Item has no Holdings
Record.
The heading of the report shows the date the report is printed,
the agency and the collection. (If the report covers multiple
collections, the report is divided by collection.) Below the
heading is a key that explains the items on the report.
The rest of the report is divided into sections of information
about each exception. Each section contains three types of information
(numbered above):
Item "Before" exception: This is the item
that was inventoried immediately before the corresponding exception
item. (It should be shelved on the left of the exception item.)
The "before" item is marked with the symbol "@"
on the report. The report shows the author, title, and call number
of the "before" item so you can locate the exception
item on the shelf, if necessary.
NOTE: If the very first item inventoried in a group of items
is an exception, a "before" item is not reported for
that exception.
Exception item: This is an exception item that was
found in the collection. Each exception item is marked with the
symbol "***" on the report. The exception items
are listed on the report in the order in which they were found
during inventory. For each exception, the report shows the author,
title, and call number, and the date the exception item was inventoried.
It also shows a message, which states the reason for the exception.
Step 8 - "Resolving Problem Items" provides a list
of exception messages and possible resolutions.
"After" item: This is the item that was inventoried
immediately after the corresponding exception item. (It was shelved
to the right of the exception item.) The "after" item
is marked with the symbol "!" on the report. The report
shows the author, title and call number of the "after"
item to help you locate the exception item on the shelf, if necessary.
NOTE: If the very last item inventoried in a group of items
is an exception, an "after" item is not reported for
that exception.
Here is a list of exception messages and possible resolutions.
Item belongs in Fiction collection.
Re-shelve the item in the correct collection. If an item's
current collection is incorrect, you can update the collection
on the item's holdings record.
Item has no call#.
Assign a call number to the item by updating its holdings
record.
Holdings Record is missing Collection information.
Assign a collection to the item by updating its holdings
record.
Item is possibly in the wrong Collection.
This message means the item might be shelved in the wrong
collection because its collection is invalid. To verify the item's
correct collection, access its holdings record. If the displayed
collection is not valid, enter a valid collection and
reshelve the item correctly.
Holding Record is missing Secondary Agency information.
Assign a secondary agency to the item by updating its holdings
record.
Item has no Holdings Record.
Create a holdings record for the item. This message might
also appear if the barcode was scanned incorrectly. Count the
number of digits in the barcode of the exception item. It should
have 14 digits for Dynix Scholar Barcodes.
Item has an invalid barcode.
Attach a new barcode to the item. Then access Holdings Update
for the item and replace the item barcode.
There are several additional messages that can appear on the
Exceptions Report, but not on the screen during inventory. These
messages are explained below.
Item has item status of 'Checked Out.' Resolve possible
inconsistency.
Item status was changed same day Inventory was taken on this
item.
A message like this is printed for items whose Inventory
Action is "Report" (RPT) and whose status might
be incorrect because the status was changed on the same day the
item was inventoried.
In response to this message, you can check the shelf for the
item and verify its correct status. If the above status is incorrect,
you can check in the item or manually update its status. On the
other hand, it may be necessary to relocate the item.
