That is going to be difficult - Koha does not recognize the incoming item records with barcodes as being the same items without barcodes.
Do you have a separate test system? You could try to replace the records, rather than ignore them, but I fear you would loose any circulation information connected to those items. If it is only a few items that are out on loan you could run a report to create a list of the items, date due, and borrower, and then reissue them once the barcodes are in place. But that sounds like a lot of work. Perhaps wiser heads than mine can help.
