Adding a barcode in smartfroms

[Former Member]

Hello there,

I want to add a barcode in my smartform for material number and plant. I tried adding the text,

<BC>&wa_marc-matnr&</>

<BC>&wa_marc-werks&</>

but still the barcode in not getting displayed.

Please refer to SAP support note: 645158 - New bar code technology

The barcode needs to be defined in SE73 transaction.

Then your character format i.e. <BC> needs to point to the barcode. Character formats are defined in a style assigned to your smartform. Here is an example from SYSTEM style:

Thanks, now I am able to display the barcode. But it is missing human readable information that comes just under the barcode in subscript format. Is it possible to display the material number with the barcode like the below image?

Hi there, human readable information should be displayed automatically. That depends on barcode definition - refer to note 645158 - New bar code technology, sections on Code39 and Code93:

The start and stop character for the Code39 bar code is usually represented by an asterix (*) in the text view of the bar code data (also called "human-readable text" or "interpretation line").

The start and stop characters in the Code93 bar code are represented as # sign in the text view of the bar code data (also called "human-readable text" or "interpretation line").

If your barcode type doesn't support human readable information you can always print that under the barcode as a separate text element in your smartform.
