Apply inventory adjustments with barcodes

Trong kho hàng, số lượng tồn kho được ghi nhận trong cơ sở dữ liệu có thể không phải lúc nào cũng khớp với số lượng thực tế. Trong trường hợp đó, có thể thực hiện điều chỉnh tồn kho để đối chiếu sự chênh lệch và đảm bảo rằng số liệu ghi nhận trong cơ sở dữ liệu khớp với số lượng thực tế trong kho. Trong Odoo, ứng dụng Mã vạch có thể được sử dụng để thực hiện các điều chỉnh này.

These adjustments can be done in real time using an Odoo-compatible barcode scanner or the Odoo mobile app.

Ghi chú

For a list of Odoo-compatible barcode mobile scanners, and other hardware for the Inventory and Barcode apps, refer to the Odoo Inventory • Hardware page.

Enable Barcode app

To use the Barcode app to create and apply inventory adjustments, it must be installed by enabling the feature from the settings of the Inventory app.

To do so, go to the Inventory app ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings. Then, scroll down to the Barcode section, and click the checkbox next to the Barcode Scanner option.

Once the checkbox is ticked, click Save at the top of the page to save changes.

After saving, a new drop-down menu appears under the Barcode Scanner option, labeled Barcode Nomenclature, where either Default Nomenclature or Default GS1 Nomenclature can be selected. Each nomenclature option determines how scanners interpret barcodes in Odoo.

There is also a Configure Product Barcodes internal link arrow, along with a set of Print buttons for printing barcode commands and a barcode demo sheet.

Perform an inventory adjustment

Begin by navigating to the Barcode app ‣ Barcode Scanning dashboard, where different options will be displayed, including Operations, Inventory Adjustments, and Batch Transfers.

To create and apply inventory adjustments, click on the Inventory Adjustments button at the bottom of the screen.

Doing so navigates to the Barcode Inventory Client Action page, labeled as Inventory Adjustment in the top header section.

Barcode app start screen with scanner.

To begin the adjustment, first scan the source location, which is the current location in the warehouse of the product whose count should be adjusted. Then, scan the product barcode(s).

The barcode of a specific product can be scanned multiple times to increase the quantity of that product in the adjustment.

Mẹo

If the warehouse multi-location feature is not enabled in the database, a source location does not need to be scanned. Instead, simply scan the product barcode to start the inventory adjustment.

Alternatively, the quantity can be changed by clicking the ✏️ (pencil) icon on the far right of the product line.

Doing so opens a separate window with a keypad. Edit the number in the Quantity line to change the quantity. Additionally, the +1 and -1 buttons can be clicked to add or subtract quantity of the product, and the number keys can be used to add quantity, as well.

Example

In the below inventory adjustment, the source location WH/Stock/Shelf/2 was scanned, assigning the location. Then, the barcode for the product [FURN_7888] Desk Stand with Screen was scanned 3 times, increasing the units in the adjustment. Additional products can be added to this adjustment by scanning the barcodes for those specific products.

Manually add products to inventory adjustment

When the barcodes for the location or product are not available, Odoo Barcode can still be used to perform inventory adjustments.

To do this, navigate to the Barcode app ‣ Barcode Scanning ‣ Inventory Adjustments.

Doing so navigates to the Barcode Inventory Client Action page, labeled as Inventory Adjustment in the top header section.

To manually add products to this adjustment, click the white ➕ Add Product button at the bottom of the screen.

This navigates to a new, blank page where the desired product, quantity, and source location must be chosen.
