Fulfillment General > Other Settings fulfillment_network_unique_barcodes NONE or FULL Controls the display of the Item Owner drop-down menu in several different Fulfillment pages in Alma (see the Notes section).

The parameter can be set to one of two values:

NONE (default) – Alma assumes barcodes may be duplicated across institutions. Staff must select the owning institution before scanning in a consortial item.

FULL – Alma assumes barcodes are unique across the fulfillment network. The Item Owner drop-down no longer appears on the Return Items, Manage Patron Services, or Scan In pages. Staff can simply scan the barcode; Alma will search first locally, then across the fulfillment network until it finds a match.

For a list of duplicate barcodes across the WRLC Network Zone, please see the spreadsheet (dating from July 20, 2026).
