Form

The result of scanning a barcode in the form depends on several factors:

• Is the barcode recognized?
• What doctype is it associated with?

For example, when an Item is scanned while viewing a Delivery Note record, it will add a row for that item if one doesn't exist, or increment the highest-indexed existing row with that Item's item_code in it.

Beam uses a decision matrix to decide what action to take based on what kind of doctype has been scanned.

Custom actions and client side functions can be added by using hooks.
