Bartender Alternative

[former_member640860]

Hi,

Are you aware of any alternative to Bartender to be able to print out labels through SAP? Are there any other programs that can help with this? We are having many label related issues with bartender and are trying to find a solution. Any help would be great!

Thank you.

Hi,

We use MS ACCESS with great success to print labels. However our solution includes a self developed addon.

Basically what you would do is:

1. Create a User Defined Table with User Defined Fields for all data that you need to print on your label.
2. Create an addon that inserts the necessary data at the necessary moment into that User Defined Table. In case of a barcode, you insert the barcode code.
3. In MS ACCESS, use Linked Tables to connect to the User Defined Table.
4. In MS ACCESS, create a report, that gets its data from the Linked Table, for each different label that you need. You can create a master report, make copies of it with different names, and make the necessary changes to each copy. Get the correct barcode font to display a working barcode.
5. In your addon, open the MS ACCESS file in runtime mode, and print the necessary report (by report name).
6. In your addon, clear the printed data from the User Defined Table.

Regards,

Johan
