This seemed like a fun challenge, so, done.
Piggybacked a function off zxing, which epicor has included in SaaS on server side assemblies…
Use the function in a pre bpm on .SubmitToAgent for your report of choice. Put the base64png output into CallContextBpmData in a string column. Add CallContextBpmData to your report as a new datasource (I have another post here with a how-to on this)
Edit: Corrected to CallContextBpmData and link to post: SSRS - Feeding report style number/description into RDL - #8 by GabeFranco
This will give you availability to the generated 2d barcode within your report. I’m doing absolutely no validation here so if you don’t get an output barcode take a look at the log output in msg. You’ve probably fed in some data that the selected barcode type does not support.
Possible values for Symbology:
QR
MICROQR
DATAMATRIX
CODE128
CODE39
AZTEC
PDF417
EAN13
EAN8
UPCA
CODABAR
ITF

EDIT: SSRS Supports VBA, so in theory you could build this out directly in SSRS/VBA as well, which would eliminate the need for BPM/ds modification in SSRS, as you could just call a function from an image expression. But, alas, i’m allergic to VBA.
