The interface provided by Odoo in the official stock module to make an inventory has 2 limitations:
- it is not easy/fast to use when you have several thousand products
- you cannot use a barcode reader to scan the products
Other community modules such as stock_barcodes or mobile_app_inventory propose a mobile interface to operate inventories using smartphones with barcode scanners. This is the most advanced solution, but it requires special hardware and these modules are have a lot of lines of code.
This module is a small-and-simple module to make an inventory using the regular web interface of Odoo with a barcode reader.
Table of contents
On the form view of an inventory, once the inventory has been started (State = In Progress), you will see a button Start Barcode Interface. It will open a pop-up window that allows the user to easily enter the inventory quantity (or update the inventory quantity, in case the product is found a second time at a different place during the inventory).
The wizard screen is automatically adapted when the product is tracked by lot or serial, and if the inventory is made across several stock locations.
