Duplicate barcodes allowed between serial and non-serial items

[Jennifer Weston]

Another replacing barcode scenario where the duplicate barcode message doesn't display and a duplicate barcode is allowed when replacing non-serial item barcode with existing serial barcode

Workflow:
Open Serial Record; Go to Serials > Quick Receive
Receive predicted issue and assign a barcode

Go to Circulation menu > Replace barcode
Choose non-serial item and use the same barcode just assigned to the serial issuance. Barcode is saved and duplicate is created.

EG 3.5

Jennifer, I was partially able to replicate this in my own catalog (3-4-5). When I went to the Circulation menu and chose Replace barcode on a non-serial item, it gave a duplicate barcode warning and would not save.

When I went to the holdings screen for the bib record the item was on and chose Replace barcode from that menu, I WAS able to save/duplicate the barcode as you described above, just not in the menu you stated.

I then tested this in the server called Blake's test server on the Feedback Fest document and it did NOT allow saving the duplicate barcode in either the Circulation menu, or the Bib Holdings menu.

So I am not sure if this confirms this bug or not :)

I just tested in version 3.7 and see what Chrisy sees, that the duplicate barcode is now being recognized in both the circulation menu and the bib holding menu. So, it appears this bug is fixed.

I also went back to a version 3.5 client, and I was able to recreate the bug as Jennifer describes.

So, confirming that I see the bug in version 3.5 and noting that the bug no longer appears to be in version 3.7.
