Adding qrcode barcode to advance PDF template

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To add a QR code to an advanced PDF template in NetSuite, you can use the

<barcode>

tag. This tag supports QR codes and can be used to encode various types of data. However, the complexity of the data you can encode is limited. For example, encoding a table-like structure might not be feasible and would likely require a QR code reader that can interpret and display the data in that format. Here's a basic example of how you can use the

<barcode>

tag to encode an invoice ID:

xml
<barcode codetype="qrcode" showtext="true" value="${record.tranid}" height="100" width="100"/>

In this example,

${record.tranid}

is the invoice ID. You can replace this with any other field from the record that you want to encode. If you want to encode multiple fields, you might be able to separate them with newline characters (

\n

), but this will depend on the capabilities of your QR code reader. Here's an example:

xml
<barcode codetype="qrcode" showtext="true" value="${record.tranid}\n${record.entity}\n${record.memo}\n${record.total}" height="100" width="100"/>

In this example, the QR code will encode the invoice ID, the customer name, the memo, and the total. However, keep in mind that the more data you encode, the larger the QR code will need to be to maintain readability. Another approach could be to encode a URL or some other identifier that can be used to fetch the additional data from an API or a similar service. This would allow you to display the data in a more complex format, like a table, but would require additional infrastructure. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
