How barcodes work in AADOPS
Every product in AADOPS has a product code — a unique identifier. This code can be rendered as a scannable barcode. When a barcode is scanned at the POS using a connected barcode scanner, AADOPS finds the product and adds it to the cart automatically.
Barcode format
When creating or editing a product, the Barcode symbol field lets you choose the barcode format. The default is CODE128 — a widely supported format compatible with all standard barcode scanners. Other formats are available if your business or industry requires a specific standard.
How product codes are assigned
When you create a product, you can enter your own product code in the Product code field — for example, a supplier code or your own reference system. If you leave it blank, AADOPS generates a unique code automatically using a barcode generation algorithm.

Scanning at the POS
