Hi,

We have requirement where in we have the following screen Fields "Destination ", "Material", "Batch", "Project Number", "Quantity Put-away" and these need to be populated in respective fields when a Barcode of a Material pack is read using a Barcode reader. Please give your suggestions on this.

Thanks in advance.

Nishanth.

AFter reading the Barcode ,Based on Material Pack data

Pick the data... in the event <b>at selection-screen output</b> event if it is a report.

is it module pool program?

I hope the material pack will have material number,

so based on material number you can populate the screen fields...

Hi Nishanth,

1. Whenever a barcode is scanned,

it just works like a KEYBOARD.

ie. on screen, wherever the cursor,

The characters from the barcode

will be KEYED on the screen (From the CURSOR POINT)

(just as we key from the keyboard, but that will be automatic)

2. If u are directly opening the relevant screen,

and placing the cursor on the first field,

and now if u scan the barcode,

the characters will all be keyed to that field.

3. if the barcode has a TAB field as a field separator,

then probably as per the sequence of the fields,

the data will come properly.

4. For this may be some setting in the barcode

is required, to treat field separator

as TAB, or ENTER.

Hope it helps.

5. If the screen is a Z Report developed by you,

then we can use some other technique also.

But for this please reply if this is so.
