Espresso Barcoding

This lets you associate a barcode or quick reference code to a SYSPRO item (e.g. stock code). You can then use a camera-enabled device to scan or capture the codes and display the information in SYSPRO Espresso.

This simplifies processes such as queries on stock items, bin transfers, receipts and stock takes.

Items that can be scanned include:

• Stock codes
• Warehouses
• Quantity
• Document number
• Bin number
• Lot number

• You can scan barcodes in all SYSPRO Espresso apps on fields where the scan icon () is displayed on the field.

  The items that you can scan depend on the fields that have been configured for barcode scanning.

• Barcode data must reside in a SQL table in the database (either SYSPRO or custom). This is achieved by generating barcodes or QR codes and then linking them to the items you want to scan using the Espresso Barcode Configuration program.

You can restrict operator access to programs by assigning them to groups and applying access control against the group (configured using the Operator Groups program).

• This functionality is not available on a desktop computer or laptop that does not have a camera or built in bluetooth scanner.

• Radio frequency identification (RFID) is not supported.

• Camera scanner functionality in SYSPRO Espresso is determined by the system administrator. Values that can be controlled include:

  • search - this adds the camera button to every search bar.
  • browse - this adds the camera button to all browsable entry fields.
  • tracked - this adds the camera button to all tracked fields. A tracked field is any field that performs a calculation when changed.

  • browser - this adds the camera button to any of the above locations as configured, but only when the user uses an internet browser to access SYSPRO Espresso. Generally the use of the camera is not available in the browser.
