Hi All,

I would like to know the details about Barcode Scaning.

As per the requirement i have to to capture the serial number using ABAP Prog when the Material is scanned using Barcode. Since i am first time doing this, i am not getting any idea how to proceed.

Is there any standard program is available?

How to configure the scanner...how to link the scanner to the input field.. etc..

Please let me know the details.

Thanks in advance.

You will need to develop your Sapconsole system.

1) You need a small PC with maybe 512mb - 1gb memory

2) You need a telnet server, (SLnet, Georgia Softworks)

3) You need to load SAPconsole from the SAPgui installation

4) You need to develop your ABAP progam

5) You need to do configuration for the RF transaction(SPRO)

These are the steps to success. I can walk you thru each, as it was my job to do this 4 years ago. I would recommend the Georgia Softworks for your telnet server.

Please remember to award points for helpful answers. Thanks.

Ok, first, get your hands on a PC, for testing and development, it can be a really small PC. You will need to set a static IP address to it.

Are the scanner devices using a "text" based interface, does it look like DOS, or is it a windows interface? If text based, then you will need to purchase a telnet server. We use Georgia Softworks Telnet Server.

This will be the system which all your devices will connect to SAP thru.
