Integration of Bar code scanning with Forms 6i

Hi,
I want to know, Whether Forms6i can be integrated with any of the Bar coding software. If any of u've worked on such things, give me some details like are there any packages which can be used t do it,How did u do it.etc..,
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Alok Dubey

Thanks for ur reply.I need to find out some things.
My client wants to go for a barcoding software.The reason is he need not enter the id manually. So he wants to automate the process(Reading the ID using Barcode machine)
1.How a barcode machine/Software works?
2.WHere it stores the value?(i.e.., the value it reads)
3. What are the packages through which i can read these barcodes and then
contact the database for the purpose of getting the details related to it.

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

Hi,
To Create a Bar code prefix:
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
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.
Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.
http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.
It will give an idea about barcode commands.

Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
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.

Print Bar code in Smart form

Hi,
Can you pls tell me how to print bar code in smart form?

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.

Generate bar codes in mail forms

Hi,
I know how to insert Bar codes in smartforms, but I need to print the bar codes in Mail Forms, is that possible?
Thanks a lot,
Nuno Moreira

Hi Gregor,
What I need to do is:
I have several mail forms treated as a standard response in ICWC. We are using the e-mail view (in ICWC) mainly to print the forms, via smartforms or in online mode without smartforms.
So, at the moment, I have two questions:
1) If I use a smartform to print the mail form, even if I create the form in plain text and create the bar code into mail form, when I print the number it is not converted in a bar code;
2) If I generate the bar code in a mail form and I try to print it in ICWC e-mail view the number is not printed as a bar code too;
Thanks a lot for your help and interest,
Best Regards,
Nuno

MPN Bar code scanning

Hi All,
We do bar code scanning at the time of GR. We are planning to use HERS material type but the problem is HERS material type is not having EAN number field, please guide how to do this.
Thanks and Regards
Pavan

Most bar code readers have either an RS232 interface or are so-called 'wedge' devices which means they sit between a PC keyboard and the PC and insert characters from the barcode as if they had been typed. In both cases the decoding is done by the reader and all the user sees are ASCII strings.
If you need to extract the codes from video images, I suggest a good book on image processing nd the ISO spec. for the barcode in question.

Bar Code Scanning for Windows Phone 8.1

Hi,
I need to find proper way how to scan bar codes in Windows Phone 8.1 or in universal app. I found out that there is native class BarcodeScanner available only for client apps and not for WP. I also find 3rd party library zxing.net, which is not working very
well on WP 8.1. I have done really deep research, but I have not found any single working solution for WP 8.1, so I would like to ask for your help in finding of library with which I will be able to scan barcodes on WP 8.1.
Thank you.

If you don't need a universal App you could build a Silverlight 8.1 App and use the old Camera APIs which work nicely with ZXing.Net. I have done so myself.
As for Windows 8 and Universal Apps - you would have to implement a CustomSink for the Video Stream, extract Frames from there and pipe those though a recognition library. So far there seems to be no ready made solution that offers this.
So right now using the old APIs would be my suggestion.

Bar Code Scanning

Hi,
I have a requirement in which i need to scan the barcode label. The barcode format is Code 39 Modulo 43 and the fields printed on the barcode are not standard one.
Can you please tell me how to decode the Bar-Code or is there any standard function module available for decoding?
Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun,
SAP AII does support barcode scanning. It support EAN 128 standard. Inorder to define your own barcode one need to define it in SPRO in barcode settings the standard to be used. The documentation on barcode setting in SPRO details out how to define barcode settings along with delimiters and other relevant details.
This standard you define needs to be assigned to the device group with particular location in SAP Easy Acccess menu.
There are some BADI and class interfaces available e.g CL_ARL_SRV_BARCODE... check for BADI implementations. You can see the standard methods in case of Mobile devices which can be used to decode the barcode or convert it to SGTIN or SSCC format to be used in rules.
Not sure about the standard you have mentioned.
Warm regards,
Amit Deshpande

What is the best Book Cataloguing software for iMac. I have about 5000 books I would like to bar-code scan into my iMac. Thanks

What is the best software for cataloguing a large book collection into my iMAc. I would like to use a hand-held scanner, and scan bar codes, entering ISBN numbers only when necessary. Currently using Book Collector (www.collectorz.com) on a PC. desktop

I did something similar and used an application for my phone (Android OS at the time), which I can't recall the name of, to bulk scan the bar codes and subsequently upload the list to my mac in the form of an excel spreadsheet (it was a csv file). When I migrated to an iPhone, the application "Bar code scanner" performed in the same manner. Using my phone was by far the easiest method of bulk scanning (and subsequently cataloguing on my machine) in both instances.

Regarding bar code scanning

Hi Gurus,
I have one requirement.
After scanning the barcode, that barcode value is populating in the selection screen of a program. My requirement is, after the value is filled in selection screen by barcode scanning, the report has to be executed automatically.
Could you please tell me is there any event triggers in the report, when the field is filled in the selection screen by scanning the barcode.
Regards
Rajesh

Hi macam,
Thanks for your update.
But i am not using any screen, the value of scanned bar code will be filled in the selection screen of Z-program. After filling the value, then it has to be executed automatically.
Kindly let me know, if any event will trigger after filling the value from the scanned bar code, so that we can write code in that
Thanks and Regards
Rajesh

Bar codes in Smart Forms

Hello,
Maybe anyone could provide short guidance how to create SmartForm for fixed assets barcode labeling?

hi,
You need to use a SMARTSTYLE and create a CHAR format and create a BAR Code there and use it in the Smartform.
If you need more info, goto Transaction : SMARTSYLES, do an F4 and in the text area, look for Bar Codes. And see how these Styles are used in the Smartforms.
If somehow you can't preview it properly and the printout didn't show any barcode at all..
First try to use Standard Barcodes like TYPNR or RSNUM etc in the charcter format...
You can preview the output at any moment IF YOU USE THE CORRECT BARCODE FORMAT.
But printer should support barcode printing for taking printout. Otherwise in printout it will print junk values...
If you want to print bar codes from R/3 using device type HPLJ4, HPLJ5, HPLJ5SI or HPLJ4000 on HP LaserJet 4, 5, 6 or 4000 series printers, you need what is known as a SIMM module (IC card). This SIMM module is called "JetCAPS Intelligent Barcode SIMM" and can be obtained for most HP LaserJet 4, 5, 6 and Laser Jet 4000 printers. For more detailed information regarding barcode printers refer to Notes 5196, 121305, 119471
Hope this helps.

Bar code scanning problem

Hi all,
I have a problem in scanning barcode. I'm using C128A barcode in the smartstyle in character format. It is getting printed in the form. But i'm unable to scan it using barcode reader. Please help me out in this as it is a critical issue. Please do the needful.
Regards,
Prathap

Hi,
You can read barcode directly to the field you want in smartforms. (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).
Just check the barcode you are trying to scan.
Regards
