Implementation Guide

SAP EWM & Cloud Barcode Integration

A comprehensive technical walkthrough for generating Warehouse Task, Handling Unit (HU), and Shipping labels in SAP EWM using modern RESTful architecture.

Quick Navigation
1

Configure BTP Connectivity

Establish a secure path for your EWM system (On-Premise or S/4HANA Cloud) to communicate with the Barcodesoft API.

  • Path: SAP BTP Cockpit > Connectivity > Destinations
  • Name: BARCODESOFT_API
  • URL: https://www.barcodesoft.com
  • Proxy Type: Internet
2

Create the ABAP Utility Class

In Transaction SE24, create ZCL_EWM_BARCODE_UTIL to encapsulate the REST logic.

METHOD get_barcode_url.
  " Constructing the URL for GS1-128
  DATA(lv_token) = 'YOUR_API_TOKEN'.
  DATA(lv_data) = cl_http_utility=>escape_url( iv_hu_number ).
  
  rv_url = |https://www.barcodesoft.com/barcode.ashx?token={ lv_token }&data={ lv_data }&type=32&format=png|.
ENDMETHOD.

Integrate with EWM PPF

EWM uses the Post Processing Framework to trigger labels via Action Profiles.

  1. Go to SPPFCADM and select Application /SCWM/WHR.
  2. Define a new Action Definition for Cloud Label Printing.
  3. Implement BAdI EVAL_SCHED_CONDITION_PPF to trigger execution based on HU status.
4

Adobe Document Services (IFbA)

Embed the cloud-generated image directly into your SFP (Adobe Form) layout.

Interface Setup

Define GV_BARCODE_IMAGE as type XSTRING. Map it as an Image Graphic.

Layout Binding

Insert an Image Field. Set binding to $.GV_BARCODE_IMAGE and Mime Type to image/png.

5

RF Framework & ITS Mobile

For on-screen barcodes in RF guns, embed the URL directly into the HTML template.

<img src="https://www.barcodesoft.com/barcode/v1/linear/gs1128?data=(02)12345678901234(10)12345678901234567890&width=720px&height=180px" />

Instant Access to Barcodesoft Cloud

A subscription provides unlimited access to GS1-128, QR Code, DataMatrix, and Code 128 generation for your SAP integration. Credentials delivered immediately via email[cite: 3, 4].

Cloud barcode API order
Instant Setup OAuth 2.0 Secure[cite: 3, 4] 600 DPI Ready[cite: 3, 4]
Critical Technical Notes
  • Performance: Use BTP Integration Suite (CPI) for caching tokens.
  • Symbology: type=32 for GS1-128; type=36 for Data Matrix.
  • DPI: Use dpi=600 for 2D codes on small parts labels.
  • Connectivity: Ensure SAP Cloud Connector allows outbound traffic to barcodesoft.com.
