The POS search workflow is to type the product name until there is only one product left to be selected. Then the user will select the product by typing on the "enter" key. To select a product clears the search. This workflow is very efficient but it requires training.
This add-on completes the POS search workflow for beginners. This add-on enables users to search and narrow down the product selection to a handful of products. The user can then use the mouse and click on the product to select. To click on the product clears the search. The default workflow is still usable for trained users. This new workflow is deemed less efficient but has proven to help beginners.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0In the Point of Sale, clicking a product with the mouse now clears the product search box, so beginners can search, narrow the list and pick a product without retraining.
This module changes how the product search behaves in the Point of Sale screen. Normally, after you type a product name to filter the list, the search stays in the box until you press Enter. With this module, when you click a product with the mouse, the search text is automatically cleared, so the full product list comes back right away.
- It works on the Point of Sale product screen, where the product tiles and the search field are shown.
- The search is cleared only when a product is actually clicked, not when you simply open or close the search bar.
- On mobile, the search bar toggle is left untouched when the search box already contains text, so you do not lose what you typed by accident.
- The classic workflow (type until one product remains and press Enter) still works for experienced users.
The module does not add menus, reports, database fields or scheduled actions. It only adjusts the behaviour of the existing Point of Sale product screen and its search control. It depends on the standard Point of Sale app and is loaded together with it.
