Add single part lot view and ability to search by user barcode via REST API

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Thanks for this amazing peace of software. I discovered the "user barcode" field in part lots and the ability to search for it with the built in scanner. When I scan a user barcode of a part lot, I get directed to the part's page. If that part has multiple lots it is not clear to me, which is the one I just scanned.

Describe the solution you'd like Options: A. Optically highlight the part lot of the scanned "user barcode" in part view B. Show part view but show only the scanned part lot (like a filtered view) C. Show a single part lot view. Which needs to be created, but could be useful in order to allow fast changes of part count. (Thinking about larger +/- buttons for touchscreen use on PC or mobile phone) More abilities could be added here, like merging (via scan->click "merge"->scan new lot "user barcode") or decommissioning of a part lot (e.g. empty, reusing the user barcoded bag for a different part) Scan of a EIGP 114 code to add as a new lot (with user barcode) to a part.

I think B or C would be better to avoid any ambiguity of the selected part lot.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  1. Building a UI just for part lot management via REST API, but I could not find a way to search a part lot by "user barcode". Hints are welcome.
  2. Build UI which opens the part page and injects a highlight as described in A. Still needs API search by user barcode ability like in 1.

Additional context The idea is to easily change parts in a specific lot with just a scan of a barcode (or in my case an RFID tag - less paper waste). Like new arrivals.

Highlighting the part seems favorable. It could also be nice to move the lot id out of the info dropdown, although it might not matter.

@jbtronics 🙏🏻 sorry for the mention
