Interface with SAP / Bar code scanner.

Hello,
we are going to integrate bar code reader to SAP directly
Our thought are , Scanning the bar code and then using IDOC or directly connected to SAP - ZTables for converting the data into the SAP system..
is it possible to convert the bar code information ( such us material / batch etc..) in to SAP with an interface.
Any Input will be appreciated
Thanks for your help

Hi JJ,
I may be just re-iterating what has already been said, but for clarity I will put down the points again, since I was also faced with the same confusion regarding how barcode and sap will work.
1. Barcode Scanner has nothing to do with SAP or any software.
   In simple terms, it is just like a keyboard. To demo;
    a) Plug in the barcode scanner in the USB port
    b) Open Notepad in windows
    c) The cursor will be inside the notepad
    d) Now scan the bar code against any barcode image.
          (Suppose the barcode image contains the information XYZABC)
   e) As soon as you scan, the characters   X Y Z A B C (without spaces)
      will AUTOMATICALLY GET TYPED on the screen, inside the notepad, at the place of cursor.
    Hence, the SCANNER just acts as a KEYBOARD.
   and autommatically types in the characters WHEREVER the CURSOR is.
   We can test this using notepad, Excel, word or any where the cursor can appear.
   We can test in any standard sap screen on any text field also, etc.
2. Saving the data in SAP.
    a) First we have to figure out how to save data in SAP,
        considering we are entering data MANUALLY.
   b) This can be a STANDARD Transaction or a Z transaction.
   c) Suppose the field / information is material number,
     then instead of TYPING the material number on the screen, in the field,
    we simply place the cursor on that field.
d) then we simply scan the image (containing information on material n umber) and hooooooray,
    it gets automatically TYPED IN on that field.
    Thats it. Other fields we may have to enter manually and press the SAVE button to save the data.
Scanner just saves TYPING the information manually, and hence reduces time and error both.
Hope this helps.

Amit Mittal.

How to maintain QR Code & BAR Code in SAP Script and Smart Form ?

I want to place QR code (Quick Response Code) and Bar Code In my invoice . I searched from many resources but i couldn't get any appropriate answer . So , Please help me to solve this problem.

Hello,
SAP Note 1557674 - "Overview of bar code printing from SAP" shows the 5 possibilities how barcodes can be printed from SAPScripts and SmartForms.
In your case the following possiblities can help:
DIMM/SIMM module: in this solution you need to additionally purchase and install a DIMM/SIMM module to your printer. Then you can send the command sequence from the SAPScript/SmartForm to this module, and the barcode will be printed. (The command sequence should be described in the manual book of the module.)
barcode.dll file: in this solution you need to additionally purchase and install a barcode.dll file, which will handle the barcodes. Please note: this solution only works with SAPWIN Device Types (and therefore only on Windows OS). The command sequence should be also described in the manual.
New bar code technology: in this case R/3 creates the barcode itself, and the barcode will be forwarded as a simple image to the printer. Unfortunately QR code can not be created with this solution - according to SAP Note 1557674 the following barcodes can be created:
Code39, Code93, Interleaved 2of5, Code128, PDF417.
(There are 2 further solutions in the mentioned Note, but the "bar code font" solution can not be used for 2D barcodes like QR code, and the "PDF-based form" solution means that SAPScript and SmartForm can not be used).
Alternatively, here is a document which explains how QR codes can be displayed in SmartForms with alternative solutions:

PDF417 bar code on Printronix

Hello,
We try to print PDF417 bar code on a Printronix printer.
The customer requires some hexadecimal characters like Group Separator (1D) or End Of Transmission (04) in the bar code sequence.
We have created an Abap program which includes the printer language and changed character set (9117) and device type (ZLB_PRI) for our printer.
OSS notes 137372 and 135894 have also been taken in account.
When we look into the SAP spool we see sequence
[)>#06#P12791961#Q7200#1JUN344672746092507667#2SKS0007596#BV012-10##
where the # stand for the hexa characters.
In Hexa display mode it looks OK
[)>#06#P12791961#Q7200#1JUN344672746092507667#2SKS0007596#BV012-10##
2523133153333333315333313454333333333333333333135453333333145333233102

But it seems the printer receives the # instead of the hexa codes and
the bar code is not readable.
Could you please give us some advise what could be wrong.
Thank you for your help

Hi,
We also facing the same problem with PDF417 special characters using ABAP program to print the LABEL. Could you please suggest how you resolved the issue. Any help will be highly apreciated.

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

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 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).

How to use PDF417 Bar Code in Oracle Reports 6i

How to Use PDF417 Bar Code in Oracle 6i. One of my clients has a requirement that Customer Name and Address to be converted into PDF417.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
PN

You will need to add this font to the system and Reports configuration files.
For adding font to the system, refer to your system specific guidelines for installing new fonts.
After you have installed this font on the system, you should be able to see the font in Reports builder font picker dropdown box. or with unix 'xlsfonts' command
For adding this font to the Reports application.
1. Modify the printer definition file ( you can get this info from uiprint.txt file for the .ppd or .hpd file used )
if the printer defination file is .ppd then look for "*Font Information" section and add the new font name there
like *Font <new_font_name> Standard '(00.1001)" Standard ROM
If hpd add the new font tfm file as
FONT= new_font_name
/tfm=new_font_tfm file.tfm
2. Copy the AFM or TFM ( these are fonts metrics files, which font vendor will provide ) into the relevant directory so the the Reports application should pick them up.
3. If necessary, make changes in the alias file (uifont.ali ) for mapping to this font. If the layout objects in your report are associated with the same font name as the new font then mapping is not required. But if the fonts for the layout objects are different then you need to map the original fonts to the new ones. Make sure that the mapping rules should be defined in the right section depending on the printer type being used.

Hi,
Functional consultant will do the detailed study about the material movements in the plant. if the industry need the barcode requirement,
Functional consultant is the person who needs implement the barcoding process. he need to all the configuration and if there is any gap then he need to prepare a functional specification and ABAPPER will do the required developement.

Bar code data in SAP system

Hi all,
Our Production system was installed with following modules (PP, MM, SD, QM & FICO )
we are running Bar-code data in SAP system. Because of this our database size is growing somuch. Is it advisable to keep barcode data in SAP system. If yes what are the implications of the SAP systems. OR can i use third party software for Barcode data generation.
SAP system performance is de grading day by day
Please give your valuable suggestions.
regards
Ramesh

Hi,
We are using barcode too on our system, which is for production order (order ID) for stock and goods movement purpose.
Our mechanism is converting production order number (EAN) into a graphical barcode (Code 39) while printing a production order label. By this method we are not keep barcode image on our system, but anytime we need this barcode, we just print it.
Database size grow so much?
- consider data aviodance/ data archiving
SAP system performance is degrading day by day
- how do you justify that barcode is the root cause of your performance degradation? maybe you have to take a look inside your system : checking user activities, parameters, I/O, CPU usage, expensive SQL statement, table reindexing, table statistics etc that may help you to solve your performance issue.
- if you are sure that the huge database size is the major problem of your performance degradation, consider data archiving as mentioned above. note that data archiving still give you opportunities to read data even though data has been archived. we have done for all module we have PP, MM, WM, SD, FI, CO and found no issue about reading data from archive.
- consider to reorganize, that table fragmentation may contribute in database size.
hope it help you.

Error with €-character in pdf417 bar code

Hey,
we have a problem with the Euro-Sign (€) in the bar code type pdf417. The encoding is set to "ISO-8859-15", but after creating the barcode and scan this, instead of the €-character the ?-character appears. Is this a bug in the encoding-routine? Or have we to set some special parameters?
Can anybody help?
Thanks!
Sygro

Assuming you are using the 2D PDF417 barcode, we do not support that character encoding. But, if you set the encoding to UTF-8, you should be able to scan the Euro symbol, assuming you scanner can read it.
We support the following encodings:
UTF-8
UTF-16
UCS-2
ISO-8859-1
ISO-8859-2
ISO-8859-7
Shift_JIS
KSC_5601
GB_2312

Re: BAR Codes generation through SAP

Dear All,
Is it possible to generate BAR Codes in SAP.
Regards,
Vivek

Hi,
Yes this is possible to print the bar code thorough SAP.
For KANBAN process SAP has given standard functionality to print the bar code.
T CODE: PK17.
For other like bar code on production order print , job ticket print ..........
is possible. For this first you have to create one form which contains the layout of the print out.
You can see the std layout though SE17 transaction.
Barcode is noting but it's one type font like Normal, arial..
So bar print is possible, please take some help from developer.
