Juan,

If you search for BarCode in this Forum you will get many answers as I have myself answered quite a few questions.

Any Bar code scanner like symbol that can be connected using a USB to a PC can be used. As you would understand Bar Code scanner are just replacing key strokes.

Can I ask what all you plan to do using Bar Codes. Is is simply for scanning Items or Batch numbers, ...??

Hi Suda,

I want to use the Bar Codes for scanning items on sales transactions and for stock transfers. This company has several wharehouses and needs to optimize the inventory movement between wharehouses.

They manage some items with Batch Numbers an others with Serial Numbers. Can I use the Bar codes for both?

When you say using Bar Codes for sales transactions and stock transfers? Are you talking about scanning the Item when creating the Delivery document or simply scan the Item in the warehouse and this will reduce inventory.

BarCode scanning functionality is Business One is only for scanning and ItemCodes / Batch numbers without manually typing them in the Delivery or Inventory tramsfer screens?

What are the process steps you want to accomplish

Suda,

Effectively, when I said "for sales transactions", I was talking about scanning the Item when creating the Delivery document, and when I said "for stock transfers" I meant for scanning the item to fill the stock transfer screen.

Can I use the Barcode funcionality for scanning serial numbers? Do i have to generate the barcode from SAP BO?

Juan,

You certainly can use the scanner for Delivery, Goods Transfer and the funcionality for scanning serial numbers. The BarCode need not be created from SBO. They need to standard Bar Codes which the Scanner can read

Thx Suda,

I'm currently testing the Barcode gun (an Eclipse MS5145) and it seems to do nothing when I check the Barcode. Is this gun supported by SAP BO?

What can I be doing wrong?

Thx in advance,

Is this a USB gun. Can you check to see if you can scan something to Excel / notepad to see if the Scanner at all is working

Hi Suda,

I finally solved the problem!!!

I've noticed that I had connected an USB keyboard and my barcode gun was PS2. You cannot have different types connected at the same time

Thx for helping me out,
