Printing barcodes in SAP
Printing of bar codes in SAP is not associated with any particular difficulties. In the device type definition of your printer, you can check which barcode types are supported. If you want to check whether your printer prints barcodes without other activities, call the standard text SAPSCRIPT-BARCODETEST with the ID ST and print the default text. If the standard text does not already exist, you must copy the standard text from the client 000 using Utilities -> Copy from client. If no barcodes are visible on the printout, then you have the following options for teaching your printer the barcodes.
SAP Adobe Forms
Migrating to Adobe Forms is usually a matter of debate, if you are an SAP user for several years. Because then, a fundamental redesign of the existing forms is often the order of the day. There are multiple reasons for that:
- In the SAP implementation phase, the development of forms was not given the necessary attention.
- The forms can no longer maintained without causing unforeseen errors.
- The department draws up requirements which can not be realized with SAPScript or Smart Forms.
- Customers or the IT auditor require archiving forms in PDF/A format.
- The number of errors with the existing SAP forms in productive system has exceeded the acceptable level.
- The use of an external output management system is too expensive or has major weaknesses in SAP integration and should be replaced by a solution within the SAP environment.
Create VDA label 4902 in SAP
The packaging data are sent by EDI in a precisely defined structure to the automobile manufacturer. As a rule, the automobile manufacturer already provides the packing instructions. If the materials are then packaged physically, the labels are also printed. Important is that the data on the label are identical to the corresponding EDI data. When e.g. in the EDI data the unit has been transferred as package type 006280, the printer can not print 6280 on the label. That is, blanks and leading zeros in the EDI data are also to be printed on the label or coded in the barcode.
