Adding Barcode In Sap Smartstyles 4e516

Adding a New Printer Barcode in SAP® SmartStyles The SAP system only contains the commonly used barcodes and therefore the Zebra printer actually s many more than the SAP system details as available. In some industries or customer applications newer barcodes are becoming more commonly used. This guide will detail what you need to make sure it has been added into the SAP system for use with SmartStyles and Smart Forms™. Note: The System and Printer Bar Codes must have already been completed or the barcode will not be available, if this has not been completed please refer to the “Adding Barcode in SAP6” help-sheet. This process details how to add a new printer barcode called Data Matrix into SmartStyles. Once you have logged into your SAP system you need to go to Smart Forms. 

In the Transaction Quick Access field at the top left of the screen, enter SMARTFORMS then press Enter



This will display the SAP Smart Forms: Initial Screen



This shows the commands already setup but are not always clear to understand so you may need to highlight them individually to see what each item is for. I have highlighted C1 and this shows it is a Code 128 Barcode using the C128A Barcode selection. If the item you want to use is not listed you will need to add the command.



Highlight the Character Formats folder and right click, Then select Create Node



This will give you the option to name the Character Format you want to use (This will allow 2 characters) Note: The SAP convention would be to select C or B for Barcode/Code but this is your choice but should be easy to to avoid confusion.



I am using C5 as C1 to C4 are already used. In the field enter the value and select the Green tick.
