Accept input on selection screen through scanner device

Former Member — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:18:43 GMT

Hi,

I need to create a program which will accept a number (from Barcoad) and populate the selection screen using scanner device.

Im not sure how to go about this.

Do i need to create a module pool program? or is this possible through a report program selection screen.

Based on the input scanned I need to call transaction QE51N in foregorund.

Con you please advice how to go about this?

Thanks

Karen

Hi,

If you are talking about a scanner that is connected in the PC that the user will execute the program, you can develop a normal report so when the user uses the scanner, scanned data will be copied into the selection screen field.

If you are talking about handhelds that will log-in to SAP and pass the data then you will need a dialog program and some customizing ( Logistics Execution-->Mobile data entry ).

What 's the exact requirement ?

In this case a normal report should cover your needs. In the selection screen, if the cursor is positioned in the required field, the barcode scanner will "autotype" tha scanned data in this field and probably press the enter button also. Afterwards, the user must choose execute to execute the report and do the required actions.

I think Laurent is right. it will display the complete string scanner is reading. However, for your requirement you need to split the string as per your requirement

e.g. string may contain PLANT- MATERIAL- SIZE together...
