I can't donate it since it was work for this client, but the PDF::Report did most the work.Since the barcode scanner normally interfaces directly to the keyboard, to recieve items you just need a special admin page that allows you to enter the sku. You scan the item and the scanner puts the sku in the field. When submit is clicked, it adds it to the inventory (ie increments the inventory value in the inventory table). If you have control over what the item barcodes look like, you could make them all a fixed width like 12. Then on the special page to recieve the item, you can add some javascript that automatically submits the page after the 12 character. That way each item you scan would automatically submit the page. So you don't have to touch the keyboard.You can encode <return>, <tab> and other ASCII codes in "code 128" barcodes, so you don't need to go Javascript to submit forms.
It should be possible to configure the scanner to send a return after each scan as well (thus submitting the form).
