Requirement :
Need to print the 2D barcode ( Data matrix ) on the exising GR label.
Actually we have tried to create a 2D barcode using SE73 transaction , but we don't have the DATA matrix
barcode in the SE73 barcode list.
Created a custom barcode(PDF147) :
Any how we have created a normal 2D barcode (PDF147) using SE73 to check the functionality, and we have assigned the created barcode to the Charcter format and used it in the smartform text element seperately.
and we are able to get the 2D barcode as required on the print preview of the smartform where it is not appearing on the output while printing.
For the existing GR label the text element was already available and it has been coded with the Printer code format (may be ITF format) which imports from the Label Design software at the time of designing.
Now as required we are not able to decode it or encode the barcode which was created to print on the label.
Assuming points :
1. To create a Label/Barcode we need a seperate software for designing.
2. To get the 2D Data matrix barcode option into the SE73 we may require some additional barcode software needs to be installed at SAP end.
3. If the Output is normal form we can add the barcode from SAP side itself and can display the same, since this is label we are not able to get the barcode to be printed.
4. Do we need to recapture the design for the Label using the Label software?
Do we have any possible approach to resolve this requirement.
