How to activate the barcodes in Odoo?
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
The barcode scanning features can save you a lot of the time usually
|
|
lost switching between the keyboard, the mouse and the scanner. Properly
|
|
attributing barcodes to products, pickings locations, etc. allows you to
|
|
work more efficiently by controlling the software almost exclusively
|
|
with the barcode scanner.

Set products barcodes
|

|
In order to fill a picking or to perform an inventory, you need to make
|
|
sure that your products are encoded in Odoo along with their barcodes.
|
|
If this is not already done, you can fill in the products barcodes
|
|
through a handy interface. Go to
|
|
:menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings`
|
|
and click :menuselection:`Operations --> Barcode Scanner`.
|
|
Click Save, and go back into the previous screen to click Configure
|
|
Product Barcodes. This interface can also be accessed via the planner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Product variants: be careful to add barcodes directly on the
|
|
variant, and not the template product (otherwise you won't be able to
|
|
differentiate them).
|
|
|
|
Set locations barcodes
|
|
======================

|
If you manage multiple locations, you will find useful to attribute a
|
|
barcode to each location and stick it on the location. You can configure
|
|
the locations barcodes in
|
|
:menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Warehouse Management --> Locations`.
|
|
There is button in the **Print** menu that you
|
|
can use to print the locations names and barcodes. There are 4 barcodes
|
|
per page, arranged in a way that is convenient to print on sticker
|
|
paper.
|
|
|
|
Example of location naming: **warehouse short name** - **location short
|
|
name** - (**Corridor X** - **Shelf Y** - **Height Z**) Example: A032-025-133

Barcode formats
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Most retail products use EAN-13 barcodes. They cannot be made up without
|
|
proper authorization: you must pay the International Article Numbering
|
|
Association a fee in exchange for an EAN code sequence (that's why no
|
|
two products in a store will ever have the same EAN code).
|
|
|
|
Still, as Odoo supports any string as a barcode, so you can always
|
|
define your own barcode format for internal use.
