    Products' code are unique and there won't be any other match for that barcode. The tick is that if there is only 1 match found then add it automatically to the order list. If there are more than 1 matches then they will be shown as options for selection.

    Thank you very much. I have checked and found that the -1 is being ignored in query. I will check and fix this in this week's update.

    I have found the reason. The default barcode separator is - (dash) for variants and you have - in your barcode that making the system think that you are trying to add variant to order.

    Please change the `Barcode separator` to . (Dot) or any other then - (dash) and then try again.
