I HAVE DEVELOPED A CUSTOM SCREEN IN WHICH I HAVE A CUSTOM FEIDL I.E AUFK-AUFNR WHICH IS ORDERNUMBER.

THE REQUIREMENT HERE IS THAT THE END USER IN FACTORY WILL READ THE BARCODE AND THEY WANT THIS FIELD I.E AUFK-AUFNR TO AUTO POPULATE.

THE BARCODE WHICH THEY HAVE HAS ALREADY ORDER NUMBER .

ANY HELP WILL BE APPRCIATED

Can you please check your keyboard first? It seems that it has an issue as it writes only capital letters?

A barcode reader simulates keyboard input. The worker scans the barcode and it converts into characters and numbers in the current field of the screen. It's not SAP stuff. Could you explain in more details?

sayed.shehabaz as sandra.rossi already explain, a barcode reader is like a keyboard, nothing more nothing less.

So select the field, read a barcode with your barcode reader, and the field will be populated. There is nothing related to SAP.

No interface, no specific action

Are you speaking about dynpro ? through SE51 ?

Yes, it would be sufficient to prepare a field for the input on the Dynpro.

This should work as the barcode reader only simulates the keyboard as mentioned.
