Specify If Items with Duplicate Barcodes Can Be Saved Provisionally

Tip:
This profile setting does not affect bulk item creation, bulk change, or item creation during importing. When barcodes are assigned during bulk creation or bulk change, duplicate barcodes are never assigned. In the import profile, users with the appropriate permissions can still select the import option to create provisional item records when duplicate barcodes are encountered.

This profile is checked when users create or save an item, and its barcode is a duplicate of a barcode for an existing item.

To set the profile to allow or prevent the creation of provisional items with duplicate barcodes:

1. In the Administration Explorer tree view, expand the organization’s folder.
2. Select Profiles and select the Cataloging tab.
3. Select the Item records: Records with duplicate barcodes can be saved provisionally profile.
4. Set the profile to Yes to allow users to save an item record provisionally if a duplicate barcode is found. Set the profile to No to prevent users from saving an item record provisionally if a duplicate barcode is found.
5. Select File > Save, click or press Ctrl+S.
