Hello,

I'm using Odoo (version [17.0]) and I'm facing an issue with short barcodes in the Point of Sale (POS) system.

I have products with very short barcodes such as:

• 95
• 96
• 97

I created a custom barcode rule using a pattern like {NN} and assigned these barcodes directly to products. The scanner sends the correct code (verified using Notepad), and I can even see the system recognize the code in technical views (like the "Fix Issues" window).

However, the POS does not recognize or respond to these barcodes during a live session.

I suspect this might be related to how PosDB performs string-based matching for product search and expects longer barcodes like EAN-13.

Has anyone managed to use short barcodes like this in POS without switching to EAN format?

Do I need to patch _product_search_string() or override search_product() in JS?

Thanks in advance!
