SAP R/3 helps organizations manage comprehensive financial,
manufacturing, human resources, sales and distribution functions that
are essential to their operations. The capability to leverage the data
integrity provided by SAP R/3 modules can now be realized by
directly integrating barcode labeling into many common business
processes.
While dynamic documents and reports are the predominant printed
output from SAP R/3 modules, customers also want to output high-
quality barcode labels with graphics, directly within SAP R/3, for
applications such as manufacturing, shipping, item tracking and stock
control. Such labels require the use of specialty barcode label printers.
Today, customers who wish to integrate barcode label printers within
SAP R/3, are presented with the option to either upload the printer
programming language into a SAPscript layout (upload method) or use
label design software in combination with an external service (middle-
ware typically on an NT or Unix server). SAP documentation, located
on SAPnet, describes how label printers can be driven direct from SAP
R/3.
In choosing the upload method over the external service approach,
SAP R/3 users can leverage existing SAP print services and eliminate
the need to purchase, setup and maintain the application for every
server at every separate site location. This approach can greatly reduce
equipment costs, reduce implementation time and improve process
throughput.
To take full advantage of the SAP R/3 upload method, Zebra
Technologies Corporation, with assistance from SAP’s development
team and global SAP R/3 end users, has developed a special version of
its BAR-ONE label design software.
Utilizing BAR-ONE for SAP R/3, users can now integrate barcoding
into any existing SAP R/3 application.
