The active date is set the first time a copy is scanned for check in or check out.
It sounds to me like the date that you want.

Quoting "Hardy, Elaine" <[email protected]>:

Not exactly. The date inventoried is the date an item is confirmed to be in
the library's collection, either on the shelf or out on loan. It is system
set during an automated inventory and is separate from active or other
system dates on an item

If I understand the question correctly, the active_date on a copy should
serve this purpose.  This meant to be the date that the copy became "live"
in the system.

Quoting Scott Thomas <[email protected]>:

We have been with EG for four months, and this is the first time this
has come up: there does not appear to be an Inventory Item function
(at least in 2.6.3). I am not finding a Date Inventoried field in the
item record nor can I locate a way to inventory an item. Am I missing
something obvious? If not, how do Evergreen libraries inventory their
collections?

Thank you,
Scott
