Hi,

You do need an interface. Something like a vb script which would get the data into an excel,notepad file where it can be uploaded.

But in some case as 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. Hope this helps.

Thanks

thank u ,but we need not to execute from sap , he externally scan the barcode with scanner .

when he scanned it, it will automatically get into sap. that is the requirement.

[Former Member]

hi friends ,

any updates on this thread,

[Former Member]

U need a RF gun ,load the SAP console into that . It will read ur barcode data for the appropriate fields on screen. We did that for Warehouse Management there we used LM01 transaction. U need not code anything for barcode reading. The Basis guy will take care of configuring ur SAP in the RF gun, u can run ur SAP transaction on the RF device.

[Former Member]

Hi thank u very much,

will it works for any transaction ? or only for warehouse management tcodes ?

[Former Member]

Technically it should work for any transaction.

[Former Member]

ok could u please tell me any other information regarding this ? what are the prerequisites for this ?

Hi

Check this function module /AIN/UI_BARCODE_AI_SCAN

otherwise in SE37 search for the function modules corresponding to barcode identifiers and to get values of barcode.
