Shelf Companion: Book by Model and Quantity Check-In on the Phone

Shelf Companion v1.2.0 is live on the App Store and Google Play. It closes the two biggest gaps between the phone and the web on bookings.

Book by model, then scan the units

A book-by-model booking reserves a count of an Asset Model rather than specific units, so "4x HDMI cable" can be booked weeks before anyone decides which four cables go out. Until now the app showed nothing for those reservations.

Now the booking's Models tab reserves, adjusts, and removes model reservations with the same availability rules as the web, and the booking detail shows what is still outstanding. At pickup, tap Scan to assign & check out and the fulfil scanner opens with the reserved models listed and a live "2/4 assigned" counter. Scan the physical units, submit once, and Shelf assigns those exact units to the reservations and checks the booking out in the same step.

Record what actually came back

Checking in quantity-tracked stock now asks how many units came back in what condition. Returnable stock splits across Returned, Lost, and Damaged. Consumables split across Consumed, Lost, and Damaged. The sheet defaults every remaining unit to the normal outcome, so the everyday "it all came back" case stays a single confirm, and a colour-coded bar shows the split before you submit. You can also check out part of a quantity-tracked line and leave the rest booked.

Fixes worth knowing about

• Pickers load your whole inventory. The booking asset, kit, and model pickers, plus the location and team-member pickers, were capped at the first page. They now page through everything as you scroll.
• Draft bookings are private to their creator, matching the web rule.
• The fulfil counter counts reservations, not scans, so an off-model scan no longer reads as progress.
• The camera frame stays put when the scanned-items drawer opens.

Already there: evidence on an audit scan

Adding a note or a photo to an individual audit scan has been in Shelf Companion since v1.1.0, not just on the web. Our documentation said otherwise, and we have corrected it: tap a scanned row, write the condition note, and attach a photo from the camera or your library.

Update from the App Store or Google Play to get all of this.
