Hello everyone,

We are students currently working on an Odoo (v18) project, and we are facing an issue with tracking unique serial numbers. Our goal is to ensure that each product has a unique serial number and that the correct product is moved during stock transfers.

Current Setup: 

• We have products like "Rollator Type 1" and need to track each individual unit by assigning a unique serial number. 
• We use barcode (Barcode app) scanning to move products between locations. 
• In Configuration > Operation Types, we set the Source Location to "Mandatory Scan" to enforce tracking.

The Problem: 

If we do not scan the source location, Odoo automatically tries to move the base product instead of the specific product with a unique serial number. It would be helpful if Odoo could automatically detect the source location when scanning a barcode. This would streamline the process and reduce errors.  Are there any best practices or settings we might be missing?

Thanks in advance for your help!
