Does anyone tried implementing bar code scanning in netsuite? Example. You have a custom field, then when you scan an Item, it will auto populate value in the Custom Field created? Can you share your thoughts? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

RF-Smart built a whole product based off this functionality

Thanks @zach

It's possible to do it yourself too if you find RF-smart expensive, depends on how advanced of a solution you need etc, we're doing it in a project right now

Hi @Nikola Gavric can you share ways how to do it? Barcode scanning will just use as data entry input. Thank you

It's hard to say, depends on what exactly you need, for us it'll be a pretty simple solution, something like: Barcode scanner is used on a label (a label containing a code that its unique for a shipment we have in NS, so the labels are also generated in NS) -> The value is scanned into a field on a Suitetlet -> The field reacts on changes, it takes the value and does whatever needs to be done like setting a specific status on a Item Fulfillment or whatever is needed This is just a simple example but my point was just that it's not always necessary to buy expensive products, but depends on a lot of stuff like complexity of your solution, time, money etc 🙂
