REG: Bar Code Scanner used directly in application

[Abhishek Chhajer]

Hi Gurus,

I have a requirement in which the input to JDE Edit field in form will come from Bar code scanner.
Now,I want to ensure that this input comes only through scanner and not keyboard.
Any ideas on how to achieve the same?
Thanks,
Abhishek

Do your barcodes have AI prefix codes? You could write the app to verify the prefix. Users wouldn't know what the prefix is and therefor be unable to type it in.

Set the input field to 'password', so it's undreadable maybe, or make it super small. Then show the scanned value without the AI in a read only field.

I've written javascript to validate the AI, but remove it for the field.

Here are UCC standards for AI codes: Codes
