BOTA-INV: Inventory Management
In Botalista.Software (BLS), the BOTA-INV feature is used to carry out inventories directly within the collections.
It facilitates field verification of the items managed in Botalista and allows associated information to be checked or updated during an inventory operation.

To discover how inventories work in Botalista, we recommend starting with the video tutorial:
Carrying out an inventory []
The video presents the recommended workflow for preparing, carrying out and completing an inventory operation in Botalista.
Prerequisites
The user must have write access to the module or modules concerned by the inventory.
The required permissions therefore depend on the type of items on which the inventory operation is performed.
User roles and permissions are described in the BOTA-USR documentation.
Inventory principles
BOTA-INV is a cross-module feature used to compare the information recorded in Botalista with the actual situation observed in the field.
An inventory operation can be used to:
- review the items included in the inventory;
- identify and verify items present in the field;
- check the information recorded in Botalista;
- identify or correct any discrepancies;
- update data in the relevant module;
- keep track of completed inventory operations.
Inventories therefore help maintain reliable and up-to-date collection data, ensuring consistency between the information recorded in Botalista and the actual state of the collections.
For a practical overview of the inventory workflow, please refer to the video tutorial above.
