Whats the status on this?  May be able to help. Possibly built-in EAN13
and UPC support will be needed for products in 6.1?  Also, it would be
nice to have a toggleable 'scan by default' preference  that allows
users to default to an EAN/UPC default input and autoselect modality
that can be overriden per-line-item on the fly.

Another thing is scanner/scales, which is really an entirely other
monster and will probably need its own ticket!

Obviously I am coming from a very grocery/retail perspective on this,
with a United States bias.

As far as I can tell, this is a very hot issue that is high on the radar
for OpenERP.  If 6.1 can round-off this already strong OOTB POS
functionality, adoption rates will skyrocket.  Many retail market SMEs
in the US are awaiting a more rock-solid open source & integrated POS
solution... and internationally this is in very high demand as well.
Let's make this happen!

Title:
  OpenERP 6.1 POS: lookup by barcode (EAN13 or Reference)

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  New

Bug description:
  Products can be looked up in the Point of Sale interface only using their names.
  Lookup by barcode is essential for a point of sale system.
  Neither of the product fields that can be used to store barcodes (EAN13, Reference) can be searched in the Point of Sale interface. This makes the Point of Sale system very hard to use efficiently.
