I am trying to add the Barcode Scan function to the Mobile App, specifically on the Inventory ID line, in the Details tab.

I was able to find two posts related to this, one with an “answer” but I wasn’t able to get it to work in my customization.

Code I believe should work:

update screen SO301000 {
  update container "Details" {
    Update group "LineInventoryIdGroup"{

      update field "InventoryID"{
        special = BarCodeScan
      }

    }
  }
}

You could add a custom field, name it ‘Scan Inventory’ and use a field updated to set it as the InventoryID?

 

It may be that the selector attribute on the InventoryID prevents implementing the scan field.

Hi ​@rmillerKimball 

 

I believe you may have taken the 2nd post out of context. The ‘Pick, Pack, Ship’ screen implements the barcode-driven engine, which you require to process barcodes in the same way as the barcode entry screens.

HI ​@aiwan thanks for your response!

I did see some post a while back that they actually added a new field into the screen with the barcode functionality (link below), unfortunately, I wasn’t able to reproduce this. I was also able to add barcode scanning to a different field, just not the InventoryID field that has the search icon.
