    Hello Huma,

    If you are using a class that extends barcode, there are methods on the classes that will return a string representation of the barcode.

    If you want to customize the label, you will need to either modify an existing inherited barcode class or create one of your own.

    Hope this helps you get on track!

    Kindest Regards.

    Huma, we probably need a bit more information to assist you.  What software are you using to generate your labels?  Are you printing them directly from AX, or using a third party labeling program?  Using an AX report or a custom query that you wrote?

    I am printing it directly from AX, using an AX report. i want to use a 15 digit number. and if i am using code 39 only then i am getting the barcode number otherwise i am getting special characters instead of the barcode numbers on product label and i am confused why it is showing special characters.

    its related to font and its size

    Code 3 of 9 is a plain-text format.  It only contains your barcode contents plus a start and stop character (*).  In general, it also does not support special characters.  If you have numeric or simple item names without special characters, you can use it.

    All the other formats are encoded one way or another and/or contain check digits.  In order to use those formats, you will need to tap into one of AX's internal barcode generating classes, use an off-the-shelf barcode library, or if you're really brave, write your own.

    Simply selecting the Code 128 font will not work.  You have to encode the values first.

    Huma, we have done this by using a display method that adds the * start and stop characters.e.g.

    display str QuantityBarCode()

    {

       return "*" +int2str(pqty)+ "*" ;

    }

    You can then add this to the report using the BC C39 2 to 1 Medium font or similar.

    You might find you need to stretch it out a bit as code 39 fonts do take up a lot of space.

    okayy thankyouu,

    please tell me one more thing, how can i generate barcodes automatically, like i setup the barcode masks and according to that i want the system to generate barcode itself. if i go to the barcode form , in functions tab there are two functionality, create or update barcode and create barcodes thru number sequence. in number sequence giving a vendor name is mandatory and with vendor we have to generate number sequences.

    i did associate number sequences with it but still it is giving the error that number sequence must be assigned..

    and if i am using create/ update barcodes it is giving the error that no size/color etc group exist in its invent table thou i have set up the variants and its groups. what should i do?

    and is it possible to generate barcodes of multiple products at a time? cause if we have like 1000s of products do we have to manually generate barcodes for each of it one by one ?

    How are you consuming the barcodes?  The easiest way would just be to barcode your ItemID in the report instead of using barcode cross references.  Then, you wouldn't have to add any data.

    If you are tied to the barcode table, you could also write a query to just copy the item ID into the barcode table for each item.
