Automatically trigger events in SAP by scanning a barcode

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

i have a little issue. I want to automate a booking process for booking production orders to inventory. The process is the following:

1. Scan a barcode with the production order number

2. Switch (with a mouse) to another Slide "Lagerplatz"

3. Switch (with a mouse) to a field "Lagerplatz"

4. Scan abarcode for value the "Lagerplatz" from a card

5. Press save (with a mouse)

What i want to do now is. That the steps 2, 3 and 5 are done by barcode. So the person just has to scan a sequence of barcodes. So my question how can i design a barcode to switch a slide or click into a field or save the current status.

Can you help me with this problem.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi

The easiest way to do this is to use the scanner's intternal programming manual to add keystroke characters a postamble to the scanned data. This will have the effect of navigating to the next screen after the barcode data has been scanned. For example if you can swith between slides by using the TAB key on the keyboard, as an alternative to mouse click, then simply program your scanner to add TAB char after the barcode is scanned.

The programming of your sscanner is done by scanning special barcode setup codes in your scanner manual.
