Integration Guide: Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP & SCM

Learn how to embed dynamic, high-resolution barcodes into BI Publisher reports without the complexity of server-side font management.

Modern Approach: This guide utilizes a Cloud API method, treating barcodes as dynamic images. This ensures 100% compatibility with SaaS environments like Oracle Fusion.
1

Define Barcode Logic in Data Model

Construct the barcode URL directly within your SQL query. This allows BI Publisher to fetch the correct image for each record dynamically.

SQL Query Snippet
SELECT 
    invoice_num,
    -- Construct the API URL dynamically
    'https://www.barcodesoft.com/barcode/v1/code128?data=' || invoice_num || '&width=300&height=100' AS barcode_url
FROM 
    ra_customer_trx_all
2

Configure the RTF Template

Since Fusion Cloud is a SaaS environment, we use Alt Text in Microsoft Word to handle dynamic image loading.

  1. Insert a small placeholder image into your RTF template.
  2. Right-click the image > Format Picture > Alt Text.
  3. In the Description field, enter: url:{barcode_url}
Tip: If you prefer to bypass SQL, use: url:{concat('https://www.barcodesoft.com/barcode/v1/qrcode?data=', INVOICE_NUM)}

High-Resolution Optimization

For industrial SCM labels (Zebra/Honeywell printers), resolution is vital for high-speed scanning.

DPI Scaling

Append &dpi=300 to your URL to increase line density for thermal printers.

Data Encoding

Use utl_url.escape for complex strings containing special characters or Application Identifiers (AI).

4

Security & Whitelisting

Oracle Fusion Cloud's Content Security Policy (CSP) requires external domains to be whitelisted before images can be rendered in reports.

Go to Setup and Maintenance > Manage Safe Domains > Add https://www.barcodesoft.com for both Image and Connect sources.

Why Fusion Developers Choose Cloud API

Feature Font-Based Method Cloud API Method
Setup Time Hours (Server Uploads) Minutes (URL String)
Excel/PDF Consistency Fonts often "drop" 100% Native Rendering
GS1 Compliance Requires complex coding Built-in Logic
Maintenance Server updates break fonts Zero Maintenance
