Activate barcodes in Odoo¶
The barcode scanning features can save a lot of time usually lost switching between mouse and keyboard and the scanner. Properly attributing barcodes to products, product packagings, pickings, and locations helps ensure efficient workflows by controlling software almost exclusively with the barcode scanner.
配置¶
To use this feature, navigate to . In the Barcode section, select Barcode Scanner. Be sure to click Save.
Barcode formats¶
It is possible to use default nomenclature for the barcodes in the database. Default nomenclature supports barcode actions using product universal product codes (UPCs) and European Article Number (EAN) barcodes.
It is also possible to use default GS1 nomenclature. GS1 nomenclature consolidates various product and supply chain data into a single barcode. Most retail products use EAN-13 barcodes, also known as GTIN (Global Trade Identification Numbers). GTINs are used by companies to uniquely identify their products and services. While GTIN and UPC are often used synonymously, GTIN refers to the number a barcode represents, while UPC refers to the barcode itself. More information about GTINs can be found on the GS1 website.
In order to create GTINs for items, a company must have a GS1 company prefix. This prefix is the number that appears at the beginning of each GTIN, and identifies the company as the owner of the barcode. To learn more about GS1 company prefixes, or purchase a license for a prefix, visit the GS1 Company Prefix page.
Odoo supports GTIN barcodes to identify products. However, since Odoo supports any numeric string as a barcode, it is also possible to define a custom barcode for internal use.
