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!
