Introduction to Odoo 10 Barcode module:

Odoo formerly known as OpenERP and before that tiny ERP is a suite of enterprise management applications. Targeting companies of all sizes, the application suite includes billing, accounting, warehouse management, project management, etc. Odoo offers various modules and one of these is Odoo 10 Barcode Module.

A few months ago only Odoo launched its version 10 with all new features. It is a platform for which we can say “All Applications Under One Roof”.

Barcode Module:

This module adds support for barcode scanning and parsing

Scanning

Utilize a USB scanner to work with standardized identifications in Odoo. The scanner must be arranged to utilize no prefix and a carriage return or tab as an addition. The deferral between each character input must not be exactly or equivalent to 50 ms. Most tags will work out of the box. We must be assured that the scanner uses the same keyboard layout as the device it’s plugged in.

Parsing

The barcodes are interpreted using the rules defined by a nomenclature. It has the following features: Patterns to identify barcodes containing a numerical value(e.g weight, price, etc ). Definition of barcode allows identifying the same product with different barcodes, support for endings EAN-13, EAN-8, and UPC-A

Barcode application is implemented for 3 applications as of now Stock, MRP, and Event.

FOR STOCK

Barcode scanning can be helpful to find the shipping transfer, performing some predefined operations like cancel, validate, edit… instantly by scanning it from the report printed from the shipping transfer itself.

1st on Shipping:

The barcode on pickings can be used to find and process the pickings via scanner, where the user needs to scan the barcode of shipping transfer displayed in the right upper corner. Once the user scans the barcode picking will be open as detailed on the barcode number.

2nd Operations and Pickings

The above commands can be used to validate or perform actions defined on the page on the screen.

3rd on lots and serial numbers for products

The above barcode can be used to add a lot number directly on picking lines, once the user scans the barcode of a lot number it will be added to picking lines automatically.

The above barcode can be used to add a lot of numbers directly on picking lines, once the user scans the barcode of a lot of numbers it will be added to picking lines automatically.
FOR MRP

Barcode scanning can be helpful to find the manufacturing order, performing some predefined operation like validate, cancel, edit… instantly by scanning it from the report printed from the manufacturing order itself.

1st on manufacturing

Barcodes on manufacturing can be used to find and process the manufacturing via a scanner, where the user needs to scan the barcode of manufacturing displayed in the right upper corner. Once the user scans the barcode manufacturing will be open as detailed on the barcode number.

2nd Operations Manufacturing

Above commands can be used to validate or perform actions defined on a page on the screen

FOR EVENT

This module adds support for barcode scanning to the event management system. A barcode is generated for each attendee and printed on the badge. When scanned, the registration is confirmed.

From the above screenshot, we could see that the minimum number of attendees could be 3 and the maximum could be unlimited. Tickets are created and after each registration, an email is sent to that person and then the ticket is scanned through a barcode, and only then the particular person could be eligible for that event.

Below is the way in which the tickets are scanned through barcodes. Technical Training is just an example of the event created.
