ODOO'S FUNCTION
In standard Odoo barcode app, users retain full access to the edit function (pencil icon) on records, and the interface does not provide dedicated "Validate" or "New" buttons for controlled data entry. When scanning product's barcode, each scan normally adds 1 piece automatically, and users can then adjust the total quantity using the edit icon or the +1 / -1 controls. This makes it harder to separate consultation, validation, and creation tasks, especially in environments that require stricter data governance as well as managing products and quantities efficiently in warehouse operations, especially when multiple scans are required.
CLUEDOO'S FUNCTION
With the Cluedoo module installed, users gain more control over both record editing and barcode quantity entry.
The module introduces:
1️⃣ A Hide edit button setting at both user level and operation type level, so users can still see the pencil icon but cannot directly edit records.
2️⃣ A dedicated Validate button to confirm data and a New button to create records with better control.
3️⃣ A new Manual Quantity in Barcode option on the Operation Type.
When Manual Quantity in Barcode is enabled:
Scanning a product barcode will add the product with quantity 0 instead of automatically adding 1. The only way to enter the quantity is by opening the keypad and typing it manually.
If the same product is scanned multiple times, the system will create new lines for each scan instead of increasing the quantity on the same line.
This gives warehouse users more control over multi-scan operations and prevents accidental quantity changes during barcode processing.
