Hi at all,
is there a way to read an external software barcode products and enter this code in our beautiful Dolibarr?
Software that writes the code in the text box.
It would be useful when we insert or modify a product and also in cashdesk.
Tell me.
Thank you.
I think you should be able to read it directly into dolibarr with a scanner.
A scanner is like a kyboard seen by a computer.
And do you have a name of the scanner that i can use?
Any usb barcode scanner can do that job.
Hm, I was looking for this feature, too
But will Dolibarr take the input from the scanner straight into where I want it and correct it where necessary?
Is there any software/add-on needed to let Dolibarr communicate with the scanner apart from the scanner software itself?
I have Dolibarr running on my computer (Windows XP)
Let’s say I am making an invoice for customer X with product Y.
I have the invoice screen open, scanner says “bleep” and then?
Automatic deduction from stock?
Incoming stock?
Automatic adding to stock?

I dont know what you mean. Dolibarr works in a browser, and a barcode scanner is like a keyboard. So if you scan something it will put you the barcode numbers where your cursos at the moment is.
No. Scanner is like a keyboard.
You will need to position the cursor where you want the barcode appear.
This has nothing to do with the scanner itself, but its a standard functionality of Dolibarr.
Thanks. I understand how it works now, but that looks it will not translate the numbers into corresponding text.
New better example:
Invoice
Cursor at sales line in invoice:
Product with EAN13 code: 5907726200569
Bleep:
Filled in on invoice: 5907726200569
instead of a textual description “bubble wrap envelope” as in the inventory list.
Of course I want it to translate to the textual description.
my customer is not interested that he bought a 5907726200569.
He rather knows he bought a bubble wrap envelope…
I have never tried to use the barcode scanner, but i think it should translate the scanned code into the product code, otherwise there is no sense to have such a feature.
Hi,
I’m starting an experimental project to create a dolibarr module which uses the build in capability of a smartphone to scan barcodes.
My first idea was to create a simple application which scans a barcode in a warehouse, showing product description and enabling adjusting of the stock count.
Maybe if there is some interest I can change the idea to an application which adds lines of scanned products to an invoice.
One thing you should know is that a smartphone scanner hasn’t the capability’s of a laser-scanner, so you can only use it if only needed occasionally. Don’t use it in a point of sales with 20 people waiting.
I have never used the dolibarr POS system, maybe it has the capability of creating invoice lines from barcode numbers?
