Can you search for products by barcode (EAN) inside an order management system?

Yes. In Jestor's order management template, the product search accepts both the name and the EAN code: just type the barcode into the search field and the system brings up only that specific product, with no need to scroll through the whole list.

Why does searching by EAN code speed up order building?

Searching by name works fine when the catalog is small, but as the number of products grows, similar names (like variations of the same kit) make text search slower and more error-prone. The barcode is unique per product, so searching by EAN removes that ambiguity.

How to search by EAN in Jestor?

Access the product table or form within the order template.
In the search field, type the product's EAN code instead of the name.
Jestor filters and returns only the product matching that code.
That same product can be added to the order directly from that result.

Search method	When to use it
By name	When you know the category or part of the name, like "kit"
By EAN code	When you want to find exactly one specific product

Why choose Jestor?

That same product table in Jestor keeps track of who created, who updated, and when each change happened, so the EAN registration stays documented and traceable alongside the rest of the catalog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to register the EAN manually for each product? Yes, that field is filled in at registration, along with name and price.

Does the EAN search also work on the order Kanban? Product search happens at the order-building stage, before the item enters the Kanban flow.

Does this work for any type of product? Yes, any product registered in the table can be found by its code, as long as the EAN is filled in.
