Feature Request: Barcode Generator

Frappe Framework
1

Hi all contributors and developers,

I found out that barcodes for our business is a must to have. We have a very strong 2D barcode reader.
My idea is the following:

When generating a Sales Order, Material Request, Purchase Order or something like that, we could generate a barcode.

A short example:

We have Sales Order 201017 and the barcode states “201017 in sales order” so we can simply scan it and we will be immediately redirected to the Sales Order. Is there a chance to implement such a feature?

Best,
Daniel

I have got an idea regarding the feature request…if would generally be easy…:

Print format for {{ doc.name }} which is 2015/201017 and then add “in sales order”.

This should be generated with something like that: GitHub - davidscotttufts/php-barcode: Source code for the article "How To Create Barcodes in PHP" found at http://davidscotttufts.com/2009/03/31/how-to-create-barcodes-in-php/

Does ERPNext generates or execudes PHP files for standard_macro ?

I am sure there is a Python equivalent. Mixing PHP is a bad idea - your operational problems will multiply.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyBarcode/0.7

You should try to integrate this and send a pull-request. We will be happy to help you if you are stuck.
