Procesar recepciones y entregas con códigos de barras

The Barcode app can be used to process receipts, deliveries, and other types of operations in real time using a barcode scanner or the Odoo mobile app.

This makes it possible to process operations on the warehouse floor when they happen, instead of having to wait to validate transfers from a computer. This real-time processing ensures barcodes are accurately assigned to the correct products, packaging, transfers, locations, and more, reducing errors and keeping inventory data in sync.

Activar la aplicación Código de barras

To use the Barcode app to process transfers, it must be installed by enabling the feature from the settings of the Inventory app.

To do so, navigate to Inventory app ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings. Then, scroll down to the Barcode section, and select the checkbox next to the Barcode Scanner feature.

After the checkbox is selected, click Save at the top of the page to save changes.

After the page has refreshed, a new option is displayed under the Barcode Scanner feature: Barcode Nomenclature (with a corresponding drop-down menu). Select either:

  • Default Nomenclature: The barcode actions using UPC and EAN, detailed in the default nomenclature list, are available for use. By default, Odoo automatically handles UPC/EAN conversion.

  • Default GS1 Nomenclature: Scan barcodes of sealed boxes and identify essential product information, such as Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs), lot number, quantity information, and more.

También hay una flecha de enlace interno Configurar códigos de barras de productos, junto con un conjunto de botones de Imprimir para imprimir comandos de códigos de barras y una hoja de demostración de códigos de barras.

Purchase orders (POs) are used to process warehouse receipts for incoming products and product packagings. First, create a request for quotation, then confirm it to create a PO.

To process and scan barcodes for warehouse receipts, navigate to the Barcode app.

Once inside the Barcode app, a Barcode Scanning screen displaying different options is presented.

To process receipts, click the Operations button at the bottom of the screen. The Operations overview page opens.

From this page, tap the Receipts card to view all outstanding receipts. Then, select the desired receipt operation to process. This navigates to the barcode transfer screen.

Nota

Si solo está usando la aplicación móvil de Código de barras de Odoo, el código de barras para cada transferencia de un tipo de operación correspondiente se puede escanear para procesarse sin problemas. Una vez que lo escanee, los productos que sean parte de una transferencia existente pueden escanearse y los productos nuevos se pueden agregar a la transferencia también. Cuando haya escaneado todos los productos, valide la transferencia para seguir con los movimientos de existencias.

From this screen, an overview of all receipts to process within that transfer (WH/IN/000XX) is shown. At the bottom of the screen, there are options to Add Product or Validate, depending on whether products need to be added to the operation, or if the whole operation should be validated at once.

To process and scan each product individually, scan a product or product packaging, or choose a specific product line. Click the +# button (for example, +10) to indicate receipt of that product.

Editing a product line

To manually adjust received quantities for a product, click the (pencil) icon to open a new screen to edit that product line.

On this screen, the product that’s being received is listed. Under the product name, edit the Quantity line. Change the 0 in the line to the desired quantity, or click the /# Units button (for example, /12 Units) to automatically fill the quantity ordered from the PO.

Additionally, click the +1 and -1 buttons to add or subtract quantity of the product. Click the +# Units button to add a product packaging. Click the number keys to add quantity.

Below the number keys is the Location line, which reads WH/Stock by default, unless another location is listed on the product itself. Click this line to reveal a drop-down menu of additional locations to choose from.

When ready, click Confirm to confirm the changes made to the product line.

Example

In the reception operation WH/IN/00012, 12 Units of Soda Can are expected to be received. Warehouse employees can scan the barcode of the Soda Can product to receive one unit, or because they can be purchased in 6-pack packaging, they can scan the packaging barcode. Alternatively, they can click the (pencil) icon to manually enter the received quantities.
