Epicor 10 SSRS Utilizing existing "Dataworks" barcode fields


With being tasked to add barcode fields in an existing SSRS report I noticed that Epicor 10 has included some built in "dataworks 39" barcode fields that are displayed as "CALC_BCMTLQUEUE" for example. The barcode fields have an prefix of "BC". Now my question is, is it possible to create or apply more barcode fields as needed?

As I have found out by doing some research it seems type "39" is free but SSRS does not have a built in font or process for adding barcodes as it requires a third party instance to aid in having barcodes

I'v noticed that dataworks is not available as a font in the SSRS report builder but when copying over the pre-existing barcode fields designed by epicor there recognized as dataworks.


Solution

  • Find a copy of the dataworks barcode font. Install this on the SSRS Report Server and every Client that the report will print from. Once you install the Barcode font on the machine that you are using to develop the SSRS report, you should be able to select the font from the dropdown. This of course will be available after you restart the machine after installation of the font.
