============================================
Generate Barcodes for Products and Customers
============================================

This module expends Odoo functionnality, allowing user to generate barcode
depending on a given barcode rule.

For exemple, a typical pattern for products is  "23.....{NNNDD}" that means
that:
* the EAN13 code will begin by '23' ;
* followed by 5 digits (named Barcode Base in this module, ) ;
* and after 5 others digits to define the variable price ;
* a 13 digit control

With this module, it is possible to:

* Affect a pattern (barcode.rule) to a product.product or a res.partner

* Generate the next Barcode base of a pattern. (to avoid duplicate barcode)
* Generate a barcode, based on a pattern and a barcode base

Configuration
=============

To configure this module, you need to:

* Go to Point Of Sale / Configuration / Barcode Nomenclatures and select
* Select a Nomenclature
* Create or select a rule

* Click on 'Generate Base and Barcode'

Alternatively you can set manually a barcode base, and click only on Generate barcode.

Known issues / Roadmap
======================

Dependency to point_of_sale is required because barcode field, defined in 'base'
module (in the res.partner model), is defined in a 'point_of_sale' view.
Furthermore, barcode nomenclature menu is available on Point Of Sale submenu.

It's a relative problem, because product barcodes generation will occures
mostly in a Point of Sale context.

You could comment 'point_of_sale' dependencies if you want to use this module
without point of sale installed.
