Cannot add or search products with barcode scanner in sales order or purchase order

[Marco Galicia Praskauer]

Hi. Im using OpenERP in my bussiness. Currently we have two point of sales . We identify the products by the barcode that i have stocked in the Reference filed. When selling products under Point of Sales > Orders i can search the products by the reference using the barcode scanner with no problem.

However trying to locate a product in the sales module > sales order or the purchase module > purchases order, using the barcode scanner gives always the first product in my list.

 This seems to be because some kind of control character gets inserted, maybe because the scanner inputs the code very quicly.
 In these modules i can search by the reference number if i type the reference number manually, also i can scan the code using the scanner to a text editor and then copy/paste it to openerp, in both cases openerp searches for the product correctly. But when i use the barcode scanner directly the barcode number does not input correctly, it is just erased. I have tried different type of barcode scanners. Also different browser (Opera, Chrome, Chromium, Iceweasel, Firefox both in linux and windows). This is a problem because in sales orders and purchase order the product barcode needs to be entered manually. This is annoying.

I can use the barcode scanner to search for products in the product field or anywhere else in Openerp. Also i have tried the barcode scanner in a plain text editor and the code gets scanned correctly.

I would be nice if the sales order and purchases order handle the barcode scanner in the same way as the orders in the point of sale module.

Im using the ocb-backports version, i have also tried with 7.0 upstream version both of them downloaded in february.

Maybe this is an issue of the Web interface

Here is the html generated code from the two pages. One from the purchase sales order, and the other from the point of sale order (not the POS touch interface). i hope it helps.

Hi Marco,

two things: while it is true that bugs affecting OpenERP by definition also affect OCB, we only use the bug tracker to link the bug to OCB to indicate that a fix is nominated to OCB. I will remove the links to OCB to until a fix is submitted to OCB.

As you probably know, OpenERP has switched to github, also for the stable version so you should probably open an issue on https://github.com/odoo/odoo.
