Appreciate your detailed response Bilgin; I do understand Product lookup by ProductId is supported out of box in Ofbiz; however I'm looking forward to automate product look-up in the above mentioned screens using Barcode scanner i.e When I scan the product barcode the productId should automatically be keyed in the ProductId field; With further research; it appears there are a couple of options including - Integrate Barcode Applet with Ofbiz Managemant screens <requires handful of code changes> - Use Barcode scanner with keyboard simulation and keep the cursor on the ProductId field and scan the barcode; Scanner will display ProductId in the field <no code changes required; as this depends on the hardware fearure> Anyone has success <or complaints> with the above options <or others>? Appreciate your thoughts!
