Generate Barcodes for Products

This module expands Odoo functionality, allowing user to generate barcode depending on a given barcode rule for Products.

For example, a typical pattern for products is “20…..{NNNDD}” that means that:

• the EAN13 code will begin by ‘20’
• followed by 5 digits (named Barcode Base in this module)
• and after 5 others digits to define the variable price
• a 13 digit control

Another common pattern is “8012345…..” which means that:

• the EAN13 code will begin with ‘8012345’
• followed by 5 digits (named Barcode Base in this module)
• and finally the 13th digit is the control digit

Note that a dot is not necessary in the pattern as the control digit is added automatically.

With this module, it is possible to:

• Assign a pattern (barcode.rule) to a product.product
• Define a Barcode base:
  • manually, if the base of the barcode must be set by a user. (typically an internal code defined in your company)
  • automaticaly by a sequence, if you want to let Odoo to increment a sequence. (typical case of a customer number incrementation)
• Generate a barcode, based on the defined pattern and the barcode base
