Pati,

If you are using SAP Warehouse Management Module, You can configure 18 digit SSCC EAN128 numbers as container numbers in Handling Unit Management. This can generate 18 digit EAN numbers automatically as part of your transactions or accept external barcoded numbers. If you are looking for only order/delivery information for EAN numbers and use an external system, then you can directly plug an RF scanner to your desktop and scan the barcode while entering the associated data. RF scanners will translate barcode to Human/SAP readable data. But this requires manual intervention as part of transaction.

You can check the following site for an understanding on EAN logic

You can check the following site for bar code scanners/readers
