Duplicate barcodes are generated when placing an Order in Acquisitions when AcqCreateItem = "placing an order" and Autobarcode is turned on.
The problem is that you can accidentally attach 3 items to an order, but only 1 will be saved to the database. When you go to receive your order, you can only receive 1 item as the other two were never made, since the barcode wasn't unique.
In 3.8.0, a software error comes up which prevent any item creation, I believe, but master (3.9.x) doesn't throw any warnings or errors.
Yes.. This tries and solve a bug from 3.8.0 /o/
Test plan:
1 - set syspref "autoBarcode" to generated in the form <branchcode> yymm001
2 - set the barcode field to "barcode.pl" in marc structure
3 - create a new basket
4 - add one item to this basket
5 - click on the barcode field -> it should have a barcode
6 - click on add item and click on the new barcode fiels, it should have
the same value
APPLY PATCH:
7 - click on the barcode field -> it should have a barcode
8 - click on add item and click on the new barcode fields, it should have
an higher barcode.
Note : The barcode is incremented each time the barcode with an empty
value is clicked on. Therefore, if the
librarian removes the value from barcode and click again, they could get
another barcode. I do not know if it is an issue.
Note: This patch is not splitted in two parts anymore
