Unpack And Repack In Barcode App

The Unpack and Repack in Barcode App feature enhances the standard "Put in Pack" behavior in Odoo's Barcode App by introducing additional functionality for managing scenarios where items are already packed. This feature improves operational flexibility in warehouse processes by allowing users to repack items after unpacking them, all within the Barcode App interface.

When an operator scans an item that is already packed and attempts to "Put in Pack," the system displays a user-friendly warning, notifying them about the current packing status. The operator is then given the option to unpack the items and proceed with re-packing them into a new or existing package. This streamlined process ensures accurate inventory handling while improving warehouse efficiency.
