Yes that's the better way to do it indeed, look at the technical documentation
of your scanner

if you use a barcode scanner that goes through the keyboard the only
code change is to set the field as defualt for cursor. The barcode
scanner can be programmed to send a CR which activated the look up.

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!

Hi Ofbiz Users,
Context: Has anyone done hands-free barcode scanning <for ProductId>
in Management apps <Order Manager, Catalog Manager>?
If I got it right, what you want is easily doable with a little bit of
coding.
GoodIdentification contains the mapping between barcode number and
product Id. And Catalog Manager app already provides screens for
managing product codes/Ids. Also the main (first) screen in catalog
manager app has "Find Product with ID Value" field that uses the
product Ids. I suppose you need something similar for the Order
Manager app, where you can find products by its barcode and then
create order.
The only thing that have to be extended is to include also the
GoodIdentification in the product search. For an example you can even
use WebPos application, it does something similar.

Approach: I do understand the above is supported out of the box in
POS; however I need the above support in Management Apps; I'm able to
extract the text from the scanner, I need some pointers or some sample
code for integrating them with the Management screens;
Highly Appreciate any pointers on this;
