Hi All
Can anybody explain me what is EAN13 barcode format.

AJ

Hello,
EAN13 represents the following digits in Barcode:
2 digits - for the country code or system code
5 digits - for the manufacturer identification
5 digits - for the product identification
1 digit - for the checkdigit
Please see the link [http://www.barcodeisland.com/ean13.phtml] for more details.
Thanks,

Capturing serial numbers in 2D barcode format

Hi All,
I'm working on capturing serial numbers in 2D barcode format using RF unit but it only taking 11 serial numbers from 30 serial numbers in 2D barcode. Is there any limitation on number of characters that system can take at one time?

Hi,
what is the path level of your sap console. if you are using the old one the maximum is 231. check in market place and update. it can accept up to 1024.

EAN-13 Barcode

Hi,
I have a requirement in Smartrform to print the barcode in EAN-13 format with a number just below the Barcode with the following format.
http://s3.amazonaws.com/barcoderobot/teasers/ean13.png
How do I get that number below the barcode?
What format should I use in SE73?
Thanks,
Abhishek

Ok, you save your spool into pdf file, am I right ?
In the spool, is the barcod is correct ?
In fact I believe that spool doesn't display barcod correctly.

EAN entry (barcode scanning) instead of material number

Hi All,
In material master, I already maintain the EAN number of the material (EAN-13). Is it possible that I can use barcode scanner or enter the EAN number directly in MM or SD transactions (i.e. tcode MIGO, VA01), instead of inputting material number? What field do I have to set focus on the screen? Is it material code field or it must be EAN field?
What configuration needed to set up to let SAP recognize the link between material no. and its EAN in MM transactions?
Thanks a lot,
Lisa

Hi Lisa
Sorry I have not an answer for you but I would ask you if you get allready a solution for your problem? Because we have the same problem in our company.
Thanks

EJECT keyboard code in Barcode format

I am working with an IPAD and a barcode scanner for retail inventory control. It has been documented that when the scanner is attached the virtual keyboard won't come up unless you hit the 'eject' (i think keycode 161).
Do you know a way i can encode the 'eject' keycode into a barcode, such that when i need the keyboard i can just scan the bar code?

Kevin,
I am faced with the same problem. Did you find an answer to this?
Thanks.

Barcode EAN 13 in Crystal Report

Hi
I need to print out a Barcode EAN 13 from Crystal Report. In Crystal Report there is a functionality called "Change to barcode" but in there I do not have barcode EAN 13. Can anybody help me with how to get this functionality in Crystal. I problably need some kind of plug-in, but where do I get this?
I appreciate any help
Kind regards
Niels Hermansen

Thank you for your answer.
However I have already managed to make barcodes in CR, or at least I know how to make a Barcode 39 that works fine. At some point I found a CR plug-in for barcode 39, but I am not able to find a similar plug-in for EAN 13, and I have not managed to find a way to get the EAN 13 barcode right from CR so a scanner can read it. So I am looking for a solution for making this specific barcode type in CR and not barcodes in general.
Kind regards
Niels

How to embed BARCODE into smartform ?

Hi All,
     I have a requirement to embed an EAN-128 barcode for handling unit(EXIDV) and other fields in a shipping label(smart form).please let me know how should I send the value for these
·       start code
·       FNC1
·       application identifier
·       data
·       checksum
·       stop code
Parameters?
I have created a Z-Barcode format with Bar Code Symbology: Code 128 and I am planning to use it to create EAN128 format is it correct?

Hmm. topic is from 2005. But havent they gotten something better than iframes since 2005??? I find iframes not flexible enough to paste in portlets, made by, say mod_plsql into a article publisher tool.
For example, I want to make an article using my companies article publication tool (Intranett publisher) saying..
Blah blah blah
If you look at the table below u see the current data updated every hour:
<iframe call to portlet with data>
This data is blah blah blah etc
When I use iframe I have to set the size (I dont know how big table will be in the future), and get ugly borders with scrollbars if I dont set size right. Isnt it any better code out there yet? Hopefully as easy as embed pictures from the outside.

Assigning Barcode to any data so it could be reckognize with barcode reader

Hi all,
Although I am a SolMan consultant, the fallowing task is assigned to me recently:
We have borrowed a Symbol handheld Barcode device, and I have connected it to SAP ECC, and generated needed screens so LM01 and other mobile transactions can be used.
Now, I am asked to create a basic, simple example of how the device can be used (from start to an end).
I fail to understand what is the concept of optimal usage of this device:
At first I thought: OK, the goods is arriving to a WH, then I scan the material barcode, enter the amount, so the system automatically update the status in stock.
I have searched www and forums as well as sap help and I read that "SAP reads bar codes for identification and verification. The items that can be identified include Storage bin, Material, Quantity, Delivery, Staging area, Shipment, Pick wave, Handling unit, Storage Unit. It is possible to scan items for verification purposes and these fields includes Storage unit, Material, Quantity, Storage bin, Other fields determined in a user exit"
Nicey!
The one milion dolar (or at list 10 point ) question is:
How do I generate a barcode for specific entry (one of mantioned)?
How do I link this barcode to this specific entry?
All I could find was a EAN field for material in MM01, and first I entered a (mineral water) barcode for testing purpose there, and then tried to read the barcode in LM01 with Goods Receipt > GR by others > Material.
Didn't work. Got message "Material 000000xxxxxxxxx does not exist".
Then I created a Delivery for that material, and again executet LM01 > Goods Receipt > GR by Delivery - I get a "Delivery" filed. So now I can enter a delivery number and it is OK, but I am under strong impresion that delivery barcode should be used here, and not a manualy entered delivery number.
So - how can I link a delivery with certain barcode?
Is there a special transaction like "VB11" (I entered a test mineral water barcode as a "MatEntered", assigned to my test material "353" and again, I got the same "Material 000000xxxxxxxxx does not exist" message again.
Excuse me for such a basic questions, but look at the bright side: it will be lot easier to answer
Thank you in advance,
Nenad
P.s. - is there any good documentation covering this filed with some useful info of HOW to do it, not WHAT CAN BE DONE?

Hi Arakish,
Thank you for your reply.
This all makes sense for the internal numbers, but what about external barcode numbers?
For example, the same "mineral water" I tried to read - can I:
- name the material "Mineral Water xx"
- assign an external, manufacturer barcode number to it,
- read that barcode,
- the Mineral Water would be recognized as material?
I suppose I can. But how? I want the material to be named "mineral water xx", and not 8605002300xx?
So let's summarize (for the future colleagues-in-need):
Every internal number we want to enter with barcode should be used in original form - weather SAP generates it (Delivery, HU, SU...) or we named it ourselves (Material, Quantity...). No special Barcode number is needed to be assigned.
But first, we need to generate that specific number/data in Barcode format (example: Delivery), so we are able to read the very same number into pre-designated field (example: in Tx LM06) using a BC reader.
There is a (costy) plug in for Microsoft Excel that can transform a text to barcode. One should search the net for "barcode with Microsoft excel". However, there are other (commercial) software that can convert characters to barcode. SAP can do it via Smart Forms and SAPscript.
Thanks once again,

Inserting A Barcode in SapScript

Hi,
Can anyone help in inserting a barcode in Sapscript....... the barcode type I use is EAN128 and the printer is HP.... as sap scripts are client dependent does this have any effect on the printer I use??? Suppose if the client currentlyy using HP printer wanted to change to another printer with different configuration then my program suppors this barcode.....I mean is there any solution where my program works for different printers.......?

Hi!
To include a barcode in your script, you will have to create a character format with the required Barcode format in your script. Use this character format to write the contents in the window. This barcode will be printed correctly as long as the printer would identify the barcode format. The required drivers should be installed.
Cheers!

Problem with printing barcodes to a Zebra printer via Smartform

Hi
I am trying to create a printed label from smartforms, being directed to a zebra printer. The label must include a barcode.
Via oss notes 750002 and 750772 I have imported the LZEB2 device type.
In SE73 I have created a system bar code on the new technology.
In the smart form style, I create a character type with this barcode font.
The barcode prints okay and can be read when it has up to 10 characters.
However we need a long bar code of appoximately 22 characters.
I can find no supported barcode type which will let me write a barcode of this length
The max length in the smartform style for the barcode format is always coming up as 50mm which is too short.
I have tried with using a printer bar code prefix and suffix with the native zebra ZPI-II commands, attaching to command nodes on either side of the text node in the smart form, But this does not seem to work.
Any advice ?
Thanks

sounds like the variable containing the barcode data is too short...is it at least 22 characters long?

Hi ,i am facing problem with dispalying barcodes in smartforms

hi experts,
i am trying to print barcoeds for there field vlaues with 3 different barcode formats .
i was used separate window for barcode dispaly in main area .
i used 3 different barcodes format for material number,bin no ,stor.location.
in output only barcode format printing for all 3.
these 3 barcodes are in character formats .
these three barcodes are displayed on main in different areas of it.
how it avoid it problem,which was leading to this problem.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Hitu

Hi,
First of all check if you have selected the right option for printing the bar-codes. If the bar codes print properly then align them.
Then check that the bar-code type is selected correctly for each bar-code separately before calling the field to print the bar-code.
I you are using Zebra printer to print labels, please refer to the documentation in the company's link for commands for printing labels.
Regads,
George

Adobe Label Zebra Printer SSCC Barcode

Urgently require help.
We have developed a SSCC EAN-128 barcode label using the Adobe Form Designer, and are having difficulties getting the barcode to look right on the printed label.
The barcode needs to be 78mm width by 38mm high as a minimum. It is printing out as 40mm width by 36 high.
Also the barcode number needs to be imbedded at the bottom of the label, and it is appearing above the barcode when printed.
A print preview of the label is perfect, exactly how we require the label.
The printer is defined as follows:
Device Type: PDF1: PDF ISO Latin-1
Device Class: Standard printer
Host Spool Access Method: C Direct Operating System Call
Host Printer:
xxxx\warehouse
Host Name: ????
Query status through polling: disabled
Printer is a Zebra Label Printer
As far as we can tell the xdc file created by sap to send the output to the printer needs to be modified.
Guidenance/Advice welcome.

Hi David,
I feel that your query sounds very much like a good case for a customer message rather than a forum post in SDN.
Firstly, I think you need to change the device type to either AZPL203 or AZPL300. For more information, see the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/08/2259400d9d1059e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
If you also think that the XDC file needs to be adapted, please have a look at SAP Note 766410 (and the document mentioned therein) to see what kind of changes to these files are possible and supported.

Bill number comes 10 character length and bill data 10 character length and Po no is 10 character length and po date is 10 character length. Once i scanned the barcode the data will fill first bill no properly and bill data accepting only 6 or 5 or three character and Po number is carrying only 5 or 7 or 8 character as simlar same as po data and others also. Some time will fill all the data properly.

Barcode failed to display in PDF with XFDF

Hi,
I am a newbie in this forum and if you found my topic should not be posted here,
please kindly let me know.
I have a question about online filling data to a PDF and hope someone can help me.
I am having a XFDF and PDF and data will be filled into PDF online. One of the fields
on the PDF is a code 3 of 9 (code39) barcode. The PDF has embedded the code39
font in it but the PDF does not format the text values into barcode form.
I found an article in web showing how to show barcode on PDF with XFDF
<field name="Barcode" type="barcode" symbology="pdf417" >
        <value>
            PDF-417 is a "stacked linear" symbology invented by
            Symbol. The iText library makes it very easy to embed this
            symbology in a PDF file.
        </value>
</field>
Must I specify this format in the XFDF file such that the PDF knows the text field is
a barcode format?
Should I change the 'symbology="pdf417"' into 'symbology="code39"' ?
If you have any experience on this issue, please kindly share it with me.
Thanks a lot,
Raymond

That sounds like an old nVidia display driver bug.
Is there any possibility you took a Windows Update or something that ''updated'' your display driver to an older WHQL version?
Perhaps completely removing the driver and getting the very latest one from nVidia.com might be in order.
