We have a custom built dashboard that our team members use to build against orders. Using the kanban receipting process in Epicor part numbers and or quantities are miskeyed at times. Is there a way to get a barcode or QR code for pulling up part numbers and another code to pull quantities so rather than typing in info the team leads can scan from the build report each part number and the respective quantities? I know there is a url feature in the dashboard maintenance but this presents a security risk as it goes to the web to retrieve info.
I am not sure how to show barcodes in the dashboard. But reports are easy. There are a lot of free barcode fonts. Pick one you like. Bar39 is a standard. Get that sucker installed on each machine that will show the barcodes. In your RDL reports create a new calculated field that equals the value you want to barcode plus asterisks on each end. For example this is the formula I use to show our part number in a packing slip as a barcode.
="*" & iif((isnothing(Fields!XPartNum.Value) or Fields!XPartNum.Value = ""),Fields!PartNum.Value, Fields!XPartNum.Value) & "*"
Good luck!
