Activate the Barcodes in Odoo
|
||
=============================
|
||
|
||
The barcode scanning features can save you a lot of 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.
|
||
|
||
Configuration
|
||
=============
|
||
|
||
To use this feature, you first need to activate the *Barcode*
|
||
functionality via :menuselection:`Inventory --> Settings --> Barcode Scanner`. Once you
|
||
have ticked the feature, you can hit save.

Set Product Barcodes
|
||
====================
|
||
|
||
You can easily assign barcodes to your different products via the
|
||
*Inventory* app. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Configure Products Barcodes`.
|
||
|
||

||

|
||
|
||
Then, you have the possibility to assign barcodes to your products
|
||
directly at creation on the product form.

:align: center
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
Be careful to add barcodes directly on the product variants and not on
|
||
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 --> Locations`.
|
||

|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
You can easily print the barcode you allocate to the locations via the
|
||
*Print* menu.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
Still, as Odoo supports any string as a barcode, you can always define
|
||
your own barcode format for internal use. |
