How do you search for products by barcode (EAN) within an order management system?

In Jestor, the order management template lets you find a product either by name or by EAN code, which speeds up the search especially when working with barcode scanning day to day.

How the code search works

The products table has a search field that accepts both the item's name and its EAN code. Typing the barcode of a specific product — like a kit — the system already returns exactly that item, with no need to scroll through the entire list of registered products.

Search method	Result
By name	Brings up all products matching the searched term
By EAN code	Returns exactly the product matching that code

How to search for a product by EAN code

Go to the products table inside the order management app.
Use the search field available on the screen.
Type the desired product's EAN code.
The system returns the item matching that code directly.

Why choose Jestor

Does the EAN code need to be registered manually for each product?

The EAN code is one of the fields in the product record, filled in when the item is created.

Does the EAN search also work inside the order's card?

The code search is available on the products table, which feeds the item selection used when building orders.

Can you search by part of the product name, not just the full name?

Yes, the name search returns every product matching the typed term, even if it's partial.
