If product variants are enabled, it will not be possible to set barcodes for that product.


When setting product variants, different variants of the same product cannot have the same barcode set.


When I used to work in a clothing store, the same style of clothing used the same barcode, and different sizes were differentiated using internal references.


I don't quite understand why this design, different variants cannot use the same barcode.

odoo17.0

Perhaps someone will talk about how this design is convenient to use.

Hi,

The reason why different variants of the same product cannot have the same barcode in Odoo 17.0 when product variants are enabled is due to several factors:

Each product variant is considered a distinct product with its own unique characteristics, such as size, color, material, etc. Assigning a unique barcode to each variant ensures accurate identification and traceability throughout the supply chain, from manufacturing to sales and inventory management.
Having a single barcode for all variants could lead to confusion and errors, especially when dealing with large inventories or multiple sales channels.


Hope it helps

SPU:Standard Product Unit
SKU:Stock Keeping Unit
barcode:
Internal Reference:
We have set up barcodes and internal references, why don't they correspond to SPU and SKU?

I conducted a test:

During sales, both barcode input and internal reference will result in variant selection.

If the barcode corresponds to SPU and the internal reference corresponds to SKU, then the variant selection should pop up when entering SPU, and the variant should be automatically selected when entering SKU.

When dealing with large amounts of inventory, flexible selection of SPU and SKU can be used for processing.

Of course, using the same barcode and different internal references for variants is also very helpful for product analysis.

If a separate variant uses a separate barcode, it seems that internal references are meaningless.

Barcodes are not allowed to be duplicated, and internal references are not allowed to be duplicated. So the barcode and internal reference will have a one-to-one relationship. Is it not very meaningful, just for easy interpretation?

If barcodes and internal references can achieve a one to many relationship. Internal references will have a greater impact.

Welcome to continue the discussion.

Sorry, my English is not good. This is machine translation.
