How should I implement a bar code scanner to post AR documents paid?

[jbrotto]

The company that I am working is looking for a way to ensure that correct invoices and credits are selected for when an incoming payment is processed. This is particularly useful for the company as for each month a customer pays for 400 individually billed stores. I was thinking of using a barcode based on the invoice and credit numbers. The credit and invoices are uniquely number and will not over lap with each other. Is there a feature in business one that when a bar code scanner is connected to a pc, it will select that particular document? I don't mind making a add-in in vb.net, C#, C++, or java. Just need a frame of reference. Also what barcode scanner will be ideal. The company is located in canada so the scanner should be able to be covered under warranty.

Thanks in advance,

J.

As I understand, the barcode is mostly associated to Item Master. There is a field for it. Since you want barcode to associated with AR Document number, you may need to do some customizations.

Hi,

There is a an add-on from the German partner Inceptum which offers Barcode Scanning functionality.

Here is a link to their website for more details.

Thank you very much. I was looking for a possible english solution as it would be easier to understand the documentation. Are there any? Also my programming experience is limited as I just graduated and MIS major and E-Business minor student. I would prefer a simple solution as to minimize the cost of maintenance.

I solved this with my partner. I used the barcode generator in the PLD by asscoiating it with a document number.

Thank you for your opinion. The company that request this uses physical documents as a means of verification as transaction go from one stage to another. I was able to put a bar code on the AR documents based on either invoice or credit number using the print design layout. Now I need help on how to scan a document so that SAP will select it during incoming payment. Any ideas.
