The most important properties and advantages:

• written in ABAP
• significantly reduces operating costs
• improves the flow of documents in the company
• independent from the operating system
• supports all established 1D barcodes
• barcodes can be printed on any printer
• barcodes may be archived in digital form or be formatted into PDF documents
• barcode output on documents in printing, faxing, mailing
• program is very stable, and is used by more than 300 companies in Europe
• RBarc+ works under Windows and Linux, Unix, AS/400
• one time Installation on the server side
• no client components
• no hardware components for output devices
• release-independent (downward-compatible up to R/3 4.6c)
• RBarc+ creates barcodes dynamically, “on the fly”, while the document is processed by the form composer
• the barcode output always takes place together with the document, irrespective of the Koppelart used
• the capability to optimize the functions of printers
• the ability to create professional-looking reports, invoices and other documents from the SAP® system
• the possibility of the inclusion of bar codes in new or existing forms
• the ability to integrate barcodes into new or existing forms
• the barcodes can be freely scaled and positioned
• the program allows the user to rotate barcodes by 90 degrees
• it is very stable, tried and tested, with a wide user base.

The following Barcode Symbologies are supported:

Types of printers

• Inkjet printer
• PCL printer
• PostScript printer
• Other printers (such as thermal transfer, prescribe etc.)

RBarc+/Visualizer: short description of program

Print preview of document with barcodes from SAP® system

The image, which can be seen on the screen is similar to the final print.

Further properties:

• several variables, from different form fields can be encrypted in a PDF-417 barcode in just one step
• via parameters, the size of barcode can be set at a permanent – independently of the amount of data to be encrypted
• the encryption of fonts, which are not displayed in the SAP® system is possible

Further properties:

• several variables, from different form fields can be encrypted in a Datamatrix barcode in just one step
• via parameters, the size of barcode can be set at a permanent – independently of the amount of data to be encrypted
• the encryption of fonts, which are not displayed in the SAP® system is possible as a result, this program is particularly suitable fort the implementation of the Postage Paid Stamp, which use the Datamatrix of the Deutsche Post AG
• this program, together with our special reports, is also especially suited for the implementation of an EDI marker on documents

Example for calling up a barcode from an SAPscript form:

• only command lines are inserted
• the form remains unchanged in all positions
• in the example, the variables &SMPPDFVAR1& to &SMPPDFVAR4& are transferred to the barcode module and encoded as a Datamatrix barcode

Example of calling up a barcode from a Smartforms form:

• window was created for the barcode
• in the programming node the actual barcode call can be found
• in the example, the variables BCVALUE1 to BCVALUE4 are transferred to the barcode module and encoded as a Datamatrix barcode

Example of a report with definitions of the barcode properties:

• the variables to be encoded are all joined together in one report and separated through field separator characters, if necessary

• What is the installation time?
  Installation usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes
  
  
• What type of program are RBarc+ programs?
  RBarc+ programs are ABAP Includes and Reports, installed in the Z-field. They include functions called up from the forms and create barcodes.
  
  
• Who is able to install RBarc+?
  Base experts with administrator rights.
  
  
• How much time is needed to implement a barcode in the form?
  A few minutes.
  
  
• What kind of knowledge is required?
  Basic knowledge in ABAP and, depending on the used printing technology, also in Smartforms and in SAPscript.
  
  
• What is the size of the file that contains information about the bar-code?
  Approximately 2 KB for one of the barcode of 7cm by 2cm.
  
  
• How much time it needed to generate a barcode - performance?
  Approximately 0.05 to 0.1 seconds per barcode on an Intel 2Ghz processor.
  
  
• Which output variations are supported?
  Printing (all printer types, PCL, Prescribe, PostScript, InkJet, etc.), mailing, faxing, changing into PDF, archiving, etc.
  
  
• Which types of interface?
  All types of interface!
  
  
• What is a scalability of the barcodes?
  Freely scalable in height, step-wise in width, as quality has priority
  
  
• Is it possible to rotate a barcode?
  In steps of 90 degrees (except for Datamatrix).
  
  
• Check digit calculation?
  Always automatically.
  
  
• Is it possible to check references from other clients?
  Over 300 users from many different branches in many European countries. Details can be given upon request.
  
  
• Types of licenses?
  
  model 1 Basic license:
  for 5 printers, 1 SAP system (T + Q + P)
  extended licenses is available for additional printers
  
  model 2 Company license:
  unlimited mailing, faxing, printing, changing into PDF, archiving
  depends on number of SAP systems (T + Q + P).
  
  further models, e.g.:
  license for more than 3 SAP systems, external providers or further licenses, etc.
