    Patron group and s ame barcode status: Patron Group: XYZ
    This barcode has NOT been updated! Barcode Status: 5

    Patron ID: nnnnn

    Answer

    The patron barcodes are updated based on matching a combination of patron barcode and patron group. If the patron group and status are the same, but the barcode in the incoming field is blank, the system does not update the barcode. This message is informing you that the barcode was left unchanged.
