Hi All,

I have a requirement to replace the existing leagacy which has a POS functionality screen with SAP Screen.

Currently the leagcy does the following function.

When the user scan the Barcode of the product, other details of that are reflected and displayed.

The same requriement has to be developed in ABAP.

When the user scan the barcode, the details of the product should be displayed on the screen.

This functionality is same as in POS.

Kindly let me know how to proceed ...as I am unable to find any event where in after just scanning the barcode the detials of barcode are captured on screen field but how and which code/event triggers the other details to be displayed on the screen without any action from the user except scanning the barcode.

Thanks in advance for any clarification and suggetion.

Regards..

Shakeel.

Hi,

the barcode scanner should be set up to trigger an Enter key after scanning a barcode.

This will trigger your PAI right after scanning a barcode, so you can easily handle the input and process it as necessary.

There is really no difference between entering the input through keyboard and pressing Enter, and entering it using a barcode scanner.

You won't need anything else apart from the standard PAI/PBO processing.
