[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory Item

[Hardy, Elaine]

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.
