How to implement bar code in Unix environment - EBS 11.5.8 ?

Hi All,
I need to implement bar codes in an AR Invoice in Unix environment. I have barcode.pfa that is the font file. Is the equivalent file from ttf file in windows environment.
I have read different papers in metalink that say that for example the name of the directory is this /usr/lib/X11/fonts/type1, but in my AIX server I haven't found something similar like this.
I wrote this statement in order to find the directory but I didn't find it.
find . -name fonts -print (fonts is the name of the directory)
Can you help me?
Best Regards,
Mariano.-

Hi Hussein,
I've read Note: 466531.1 - How To Implement An AFM / PFA Barcode or MICR Font Within A UTF8 EBS Instance. It says that I have to
copy the Barcode.pfa to the ORACLE_HOME directory. However, in this directory I don't have another pfa or ttf file, so how can unix relate the font?
Best Regards,
Mariano.-

then i pasted bar code font file in many folders viz.C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\fonts and also in
C:\Program Files\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts ....
i have made changes in XDOEXAMPLE.CFG to rename it to XDO.CFG after changing fontfamily and
truetype path as
<font family="IDAutomationHC39M" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="C:\jre6\lib\fonts\IDAutomationHC39M_Free.ttf" />
</font>
i have also installed bar code font which i can get in MICROSOFTword but when i preview the template then i get a javaioexception error saying it cannot find the path
plz help me asap

use xmlpublisher if your oracle version is supprting. Download the font from IDautomatiion,
else you can also directly incorporate in your report. Here are the steps:
1. Download and install the font on the machine that Reports Builder and Server will be running.
- Windows is a simple matter of copying the IDAutomationC128M.ttf to the C:\WINNT\fonts directory.
- Unix is very complex. Use the following note to assist in installing the font:
a. Set the DISPLAY environment variable to the expected final IP Address that
the Reports Server will be using. Every time the DISPLAY is set to a different
IP Address, the available fonts will be different.
b. To capture the results of the commands, use the "script" utility.
In any directory that you have write permissions, do the following:
#script fonts.trc
#echo $DISPLAY
#xset -q
#xlsfonts -u|grep iso8859-1
#exit
c. You also need access to the uifont.ali found in:
Developer 6i: $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon6/tk60/admin
Developer 9i: $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon9/tk90/admin
2. Create the report and reference the new barcode font.
3. Verify that the output displays the barcode.
4. Attached the IDAUTOMATION.pll that is downloadable with this note.
5. Edit the Property Inspector for the field.
6. Create a format trigger the encodes the value:
Example:
function F_barcode1FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
srw.set_field_char(0,idautomation.code128b(:barcode1));
return (TRUE);
end;
7. Compile and close the trigger.
8. Now the barcode is encoded with start and end codes.

How to use Bar code field in Item master

Hi Experts
I want to know that How to integrate Bar code scanner data with SBO. Bar code contain many information like price, serial no., description etc . For example I want that when I read a barcode by barcode scanner it automatically update itemcode, description , price and serial no.
Thanks
regards
Gorge

Hello Gorge,
A barcode would ideally contain only an identification code and not other information. All such information like price, etc. should be fetched from a database, after reading the barcode, and identifying the item.
You can simply enter the barcode in the Item Master Data and than use the barcode field to identify the item in sales / purchase documents instead of itemcode or itemname.

How to create Bar code

Hi,
How to create Bar code?
Explain the steps.

Hi,
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
The next part of the equation can be a bit tricky as you will need to get a printer to print that barcode font. Regular laser printers does not normally print barcode fonts, only specialized industrial printers that is specifically designed to support that protocol and that uses specialized label media and heat transfer (resin) ribbon to create the sharp image required for barcodes.
Not to fear though, there are two ways to get around this:
- You can have your IT department do some research -
most laser printers can accept a font cartridge/dimm chip (similar to computer memory), called a BarDIMM that will allow a laser printer to support the printing of barcodes.
- Secondly, you can buy software that you can upload in your SAP print Server that will convert the barcode symbology as an image that will print on a regular laser printer. I found that this option results in less sharper barcodes. This option is really if you need to convert a large quantity of printers (>10) to support barcodes.
- Thirdly, you can buy a third party software like Barcode.dll and install on your frontend PC connected to the laser printer.
Now you have a barcode printed - what next?
Well there are two options, depending on your business requirements:
- You can use an existing SAP transaction on a regular workstation and get a barcode wedge reader to hook up between the keyboard and the PC. These wedge readers comes in a wand or scanner format. There are even wireless wedge scanners available that allows you to roam a few yards from the workstation to scan a label. This approach is mostly used where you want to prevent human errors in typing in long material, batch or serial numbers in receiving or issuing of material. The problem is that it's just replacing the keyboard input and you are basically locked down in one location and have to bring all the material to that location to process.
- Another solution is to use SAPConsole transactions
or write your own ABAP Dialog programs that will fit onto a barcode enabled wireless handheld terminal and that will follow the business logic as executed on the shop floor.
These programs are highly complex exercises in industrial engineering and ergonomics because of the limited screen sizes and limited ability to accept keyboard input. The user is instructed step-by-step and only scan and push F-keys to interact with the SAP system. Scan, scan, beep, beep, enter - highly automated.
<b>To Create a Bar code Prefix</b>
1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix

thanks.

Hi Kumar,
You cannot write custom code (0% coding) in an Report Writer/Painter report. The code is generated by SAP while generating the Report group. The only place in a report writer report where you can write very minimal code is at varables level or formulas inside reports.
At the report group header level, there is provision to provide authorization group. Try that.

How to print BAR CODE in SAP SMART FORMS

Hi,
I want to print inspection lot's BAR CODE in the smart form, but i dont know the way how to print this into the smartform.
if anyone have any idea, please suggest me how to print this as it is urgent for me to complete the object.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Abnish Jain

Hello Abnish,
Welcome to SDN.
We are able to print barcodes from smartforms. Doing this way, we print barcodes on laser printers.
We are also printing from sap to zebra printers using two ways:
1. Download the data to an excel sheet, then creating a macro that opens the printer port and sending the commands to the printer through this "file". All this is done via vb script provided with excel)..
2. The second way is creating a vbscript (an ascii file from sap) with the printer commands and then runing it using ws_execute.
You need a barcode reader to read the barcodes, and this scanner acts like a keyboard, it sends the data scanned to the active field on screen. (which might be a notepad, word, excel or an input field or ... ).
From 4.6c on, you can use smartforms to print barcodes without buying any barcode.dll software nor hardware extention like Bardimm on any laser/inkjet printer (Please Note that I haven't mentioned Zebra printers here!). To do this, you have to create a smartstyle -> character format with the desired barcode font (defined within sap). Then in the smartform, create a window, put the field and associate it the character format. That's all (I mean, that's all we do at least :-). I think, you have to consider the barcode specifications before sending the barcode value to the smartform (Just an example, if you're using 3 of 9, the code should start and end with an asterisk - '*' -) We're printing an interleaved 2 out of 5 barcode in our invoices due to a legal requirement, and we did it this way.
3. If you have a barcode scanner, then you should not need reading the barcode into an ascii file to get the data read in an standard or custom screen field. You can read it directly to the field you want. (unless... you have complex data coded in the barcode - for example if you're using an ean-ucc 128 compliant code and you're sending several fields in a single code ... In this case, an interface is almost mandatory because you must interpret the data fields according to the ucc standard, split the code into several fields .... and .... pure programming logic ).
To put it clear: if you have to read, for example, a barcode that holds the legal number of an invoice using a barcode scanner and this number should be sent to migo-> bktxt then you don't need an interface. The scanner itself acts like a fast operator entering the characters using a keyboard and filling in the field.
We're reading barcodes in several places (when we finish each pallet, when we receive an invoice, and so on. Each case is a different screen. We arent using an ascii file to read these barcodes. Furthermore, we read the invoice legal number into migo bktxt field (Head Text).

output = output2
else if i > a AND i<=c
output = output2
else if i < c

Try an array of boudaries and use threshold array. See this old example:
Now just iterate over an array of values using a FOR loop.

How to programming bar code by java?

hi,
Does anybody know how to write programming to translate the charactor( such as num or char) into bar coding and how to translate the barcode back into charactor by java?

Hello,
Is it possible you could post all of teh object code for printing bar codes? Thanks.
Ok ... it's been about 4 years since I'd written this,
so there may be better ways of doing it now
(especially since jsk1.4 now allows you to draw
directly to screen!)
1) I created an object extending Canvas
2) In my paint method, I needed to draw the code & the
numbers below the code:
public void paint(Graphics g)
// calculate text length & draw the barcode
num = text.length();
length = ((3*wide)+(6*narrow))*(num+2) +
+ (num+1)*seperate;
DrawBarcode(g);
3) In the DrawBarcode method
I drew rectangles where I needed the barcodes (ie:
g.fillRect) - making sure that there was spacing
required ... which depends on the barcode you're
using.
Do you have any specific questions?

How to print bar codes in sap script and smartform

bar code sheet to print for particular customer when the
transfer order is created.

Hi,
You create a bar code or change a bar code in the font maintenance transaction (transaction SE73). To do this, proceed as follows:
○ Start transaction SE73, and choose System Bar Codes ® Change.
○ If you create a bar code, the system asks whether you want to use the new bar code technology or traditional system bar codes. Choose New.
You can enter a name and a description for the bar code. Note that the name must begin with a Zto avoid conflict between your bar codes and the standard bar codes.
2. If you have created a new bar code, you must now add this to a Smart Style as a character format. For information about this, see the section Maintenance of Styles with the Style Builder and its subsections in the Smart Forms documentation.
If you have only changed the bar code, continue with the next step.
3. You can now select text in Smart Forms and choose the corresponding style with the bar code as the character format for this text.
4. You can then print the bar code.

How to print BAR code in SMART Form

Hi All,
I have the requirement to print BAR CODE in Smartforms.
For this, I create a character format with Bar code in style forms and create a text element in Smart form and associate bar code character format with this text element.
Now when I look the print preview for the data, then it shows me data in bar code format but not in right format i.e. its shows me all the similar block in bar code.
If you look the bar code in SAP script, its always show you bar code with similar block, but in SMART FORM it will show you exact bar code; as in SAP Script, bar code is generated at printer end and in SMARTFORM bar code is generated as graphic in SAP and then sent to printer for print.
PLease let me know, why in SMARTFORM its not showing BAR CODE in correct format in print preview.
Thanks

Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
The place where you are using the field value use like this
<C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
