Tools License: AGPL-3

This module expands Odoo functionality, allowing user to generate barcode depending on a given barcode rule for Product Packaging.

For example, a typical pattern for partners is "042........." that means that:

  • the EAN13 code will begin by '042'
  • followed by 0 digits (named Barcode Base in this module)
  • a 13 digit control

With this module, it is possible to:

  • Affect a pattern (barcode.rule) to a product.packaging
  • Define a Barcode base:
  • manually, if the base of the barcode must be set by a user. (typically an internal code defined in your company)
  • automatically by a sequence, if you want to let Odoo to increment a sequence. (typical case of a customer number incrementation)
  • Generate a barcode, based on the defined pattern and the barcode base

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Lets users assign a barcode rule to a product packaging and generate its barcode automatically from a sequence or from a manually entered base.

This module adds barcode generation to product packaging records, so you no longer have to type packaging barcodes by hand.

On the packaging form, a new Barcode Rule field appears next to the barcode. Only rules configured for Product Packaging can be selected. Once a rule is chosen, a Barcode Base field and a Generate Base button become visible.

  • If the rule uses a manual base, you type the base yourself.
  • If the rule uses a sequence, the base is filled in automatically and the barcode field becomes read-only.
  • The Generate Barcode button creates the final barcode from the chosen rule and base.

These fields and buttons are only shown to users who belong to the barcode generation group. The module also extends the barcode rule configuration so that Product Packaging is available as a target model for a rule, and it touches the product.packaging and barcode.rule models. Demo data shows a packaging rule using an EAN13 pattern starting with 123 and a sequence with 10-digit padding.
