New Commercial Services Section
We have now opened a commercial services section here on the forum for registered users. If you have a Fabrik project that you wish to have someone work on for you, post it under Help Wanted. If you are an application developer and wish to earn some money helping others, post your details under Fabrik Application Developers.
Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

Try it.
Create a form with a simple field element, set the cursor into the field and test if it's filled via your barcode reader.
For displaying the fields content (list, details view) you can enable "Display as QR Code" in Formatting.
You can also try "Scan QR Code" to enable your camera for input (only on mobile devices, only Fabrik 3 at the moment).

ah so with mobile will work also?cause for sure i 'll need to use a mobile, and i haven't yet a barcode scanner. I'm still at an early stage of the project, and need to undestand wich software to go
The need, anyway, is to be able to operate without having the software opened. Imagine that the operator goes to the cusotmer, take the returned product and scan them right away..then goes to another customer and to the same...
That's why before investing in working on fabrik need to know if those thing are possible

I can confirm that Fabrik is certainly very well suitable for keeping count of incoming and outgoing inventory. Regarding the QR-codes on mobile, you can't just take the phone out of your pocket and scan something to somewhere, but you can make it a bit easier for the user. E.g. in browser set the form for scanning as home page, in Joomla have "remember me" enabled, so the user doesn't have to log in every time etc.
For scanning QR-codes into Fabrik form input field, I have used "Scanner Keyboard":
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tecit.android.barcodekbd.demo&gl=EN
It is much quicker / more convenient compared to scanning with camera. Its built in scanner reads codes much faster and even on an angle. It has a lot of customization options, e.g. you can set up scanner to automatically open when the input field gets focus on form etc., etc.
[EDIT] One more solution I remember using years ago was to add Fabrik link with url parameters as QR-code data. Something like that: https://yourdomain.com/index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=form&formid=XX&tablename_product=PRODUCTCODE...
That way after scanning the QR code with any scanner app, you can be redirected to your form where e.g. the product code is already prefilled, you can add quantity and click save. So if you have control over the QR-code contents, you could use this method.

I have plenty of barcode readers - you just plug them in (usually to USB, in older cases to PS/2) and they act like a keyboard. Click on a form input field where the value is to be loaded, read the code et voila.
This is for the camera on your smartphone (and working).
A scanner keybord will act like a normal keybord: set focus into your field (no need to have Scan QR Code enabled) and instead of typing use the scanner (as @Trembowiecki adn @juuser stated above).

To use scanner keyboard instead camera, you need to activate it (or set as default keyboard) and then tap the field like @troester said Then tap barcode icon on top of the keyboard and scan the code.
You can also activate auto-scan in settings. You can set your Fabrik field element's default value e.g. to "scan" and then in the keyboard settings add "scan" as a search string. Now, when you tap in that field, scanner will be opened automatically.
