We would appreciate being able to add/change the inventory date through the change item information tab of scan in items.
The current process when adding an inventory date is to open the physical item record and manually add the date. If we could add the inventory date to the item record using the change item information tab located at ‘scan in items’ that would save a huge amount of time.

It would also be great to indicate if someone would like to put a hold on the item - and then that hold would be in the purchase order so that acquisitions staff do not have to manually add the hold to the po.

Holds/Physical item requests for new items are a very cumbersome workflow for us. Staff who receive the items are using many time-consuming and manual processes to make sure that the items get where they need to go.
A second issue is that we route all of our items through a circulation desk that does not have a hold shelf for inventory. They are not being notified consistently when there is a hold/physical item request on something.
I would like to see this:
Anytime something that has a physical item request on it is scanned, the operator should be notified and the system should expect that the next step should be to go to the hold shelf where it's needed. I would expect this to happen at any library, any desk, any work order department - anywhere it is scanned. It's OK if the operator has some choice in transiting or not transiting but the operator should be clearly notified. Thanks!Ann Kucera - Central Michigan University

Hello, I appreciate that this program using APIs is available as a work-around: https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/blog/shelf-inventory-using-alma-apis/
This is what we ultimately need. We are not, however, able to implement this solution since we do not have the expertise on our staff to build or maintain it. Another issue is that it's written in php which our OIT prefers not to use.
I noticed that the upcoming Alma roadmap is focused on improving staff workflows. Improvements in the shelf report functionality would greatly improve staff workflows.
Thank you!
