QR Codes On Picking Operation Report

Odoo’s standard picking operation report includes barcodes to facilitate warehouse operations, but lacks support for QR codes, which offer enhanced data encoding and compatibility with modern scanning devices.

The QR Codes on Picking Operation Report feature addresses this limitation by embedding QR codes on the picking slip for each relevant product line or reference. These QR codes contain configurable information such as product reference, picking ID, or internal tracking data.

Once enabled, the QR codes are automatically generated using Odoo’s report rendering engine and appear in the designated section of the printed or PDF picking operation report. This ensures that both barcodes and QR codes are available, providing flexibility based on the scanning equipment and operational needs.

Use Case Example

A warehouse worker receives a printed picking slip. Instead of relying solely on legacy barcode scanners, they use a modern mobile device or QR-capable scanner to scan the QR code, which instantly pulls up product details or validates the picking in a mobile interface.

This improves:

1. Scanning speed and accuracy
2. Support for complex or long strings of encoded data
3. Integration with custom scanning applications (e.g., mobile stock apps)

Key Benefits

1. Dual Format Support
   Adds QR code in addition to barcode for backward and forward compatibility.
2. Enhanced Scanning Capabilities
   Enables better compatibility with mobile scanners and apps.
3. Customizable Content
   QR code content can be configured to include picking ID, product reference, or custom fields.
4. Improved Operational Efficiency
   Faster validation, fewer errors, and better tracking for pickers and warehouse staff.

Conclusion

The QR Codes on Picking Operation Report feature brings modern scanning capabilities to Odoo’s warehouse management by embedding QR codes alongside barcodes. This enhancement boosts warehouse accuracy, scanning efficiency, and digital compatibility with external systems, offering immediate value for any logistics-driven organization.
