[FR] QR Code allocation to stock items

[ATLAS2246]

Please verify that this feature request has NOT been suggested before.

• I checked and didn't find a similar feature request

Problem statement

In my use case I have a specific part that requires me to have a huge number of stock items for that part, the issue I run in to is not being able to specify which of those stock items I want to pull from when allocating stock to a sales order.

Suggested solution

I would love to be able to scan the QR code on the side of our stock items to assign that specific stock item to the sales order

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently the way we are handling it is by picking a stock item at random and then scanning each physical stock item to determine which has been allocated. At the moment this works, and having each stock item assinged to a different location does help however this is time consuming and can be frustrating

I'd love to develop this myself but I don't have any where near the knowledge required, however I am willing to contribute funding

That should certainly be possible on PUI, we already have an input with QR code support that could be repurposed.
What kind of scanner would you use @ATLAS2246?

im currently using just a handheld qrcode scanner that i've got. as far as i can tell it just works as a keyboard. It works with the scan barcode button in the navigation menu if that helps.

I've written a thing to do this here: https://github.com/polyeffects/poly_erp/blob/main/barcode_scanner.py you have to run this process separately and it grabs an attached scanner. You'll need to modify it for the barcodes you have on your units, as it's specific to the ones I've generated. I print barcodes for actions and I'm not sure if this is currently supported in Inventree. For example, build a unit, it generates a build order, allocates parts then prints a label.
