It is still possible to use an existing item barcode for a serial item if you do the following:

1. Find the item in the catalogue
2. Actions for this Record -> Holdings Maintenance
3. Select the item and click on Actions for Selected Rows -> Replace Barcode
4. Enter duplicate barcode and click Re-barcode / Update Items. Item is saved with duplicate barcode without any warning or error message.

The desired error message "Another copy has barcode "CONC40000558", defaulting to system-generated." appears if you attempt to use a duplicate barcode with a serials item in the following places:
- Serial Control View -> Items -> Receive/Move Selected
- Serials Batch Receive
- Item Status -> Actions for Cataloguers -> Replace Barcode
- Item Status -> Actions for Selected Items -> Replace Barcode
