Scanning Barcode on RF Device

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am currently doing the implementation of SAP webconsole. I have developed few custom transactions. I can see these transactions on RF Device.

I am facing problem with scanning the barcode to populate the fields on screen. I am able to key-in the values using the keypad attached to device, but I can not scan the barcode to populate the screen fields. Is there anything we need to do in SAP to make this possible or it has to RF device configuration?

Second difficulty I am facing is that I want to trigger a function code in SAP as soon as the barcode is scanned, thus it will automatically process the user command. Should it be done in SAP or RF device?

Help in this regards is much appreciated. I tried to find some post on this, but I could not get any. My apology if these question are already talked.

Thanks,

Pravin

Hi Pravin,

1. First make it in SAP th option to enter the data with Scanning as well. i guess this option will be default with the RF device. you will have to make the settigns so that your fields accept the data ither ways.

what is the device you are using is it a Symbol device, which version?

I may not be able to directly answer your question here as it seems more technical than functional. You will have to read the manual for web console installation in detail regarding the barcode and function key setups. You can attempt to configure default enter functionality in Mobile Data Entry to achieve post scan features. You can refer to following OSS notes on guide lines that are really useful for webconsole from www.service.sap.com if you have a user id. I hope this will be useful for you immediately.

Note 1043241 - System requirements: SAPConsole and Web SAPConsole#

Note 371601 - RF transactions Programming Guidelines & Documentation

Following notes and forum thread are useful in understanding real problems with web console.

Note 1014914 - SAPWEBConsole does not work in a clustered environment

Note 610092 - Function codes F10, F11 and F12 do not work

Note 315582 - F1-Help is linked in RF

These OSS notes gives information on how to map function keys. Can check Ctrl F7 to map with F7 and see if it works in WM. You have to have an SAP developer access key for this change.

Note 328519 - Function Keys of RF-device do not work correctly.

Note 371432 - RF - Set RF Device keys to comply with SAPConsole

Note 730809 - RF user isn't able to cancel own old logon (380399)

This OSS note gives work around for RF locks

Thanks Sarvesh,

I went into the SAP notes you mentioned. They are really helpful.

Thanks again,

this one clearly explains the process of creating fields to assigning function codes.
