I just spoke to Jason (Staff Client developer) about this.  For the
time being, you mark the destination volume as a transfer target
(right-click on the volume in Holdings Maintenance), bring the barcode
up in Item Status, and transfer the item to the marked volume.

In the future, the ability to make pre-cat barcodes automatically
attach via the Add Items interface will be developed.

Does that help?
