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.
