    You need to send the InventLocation to the report as text, but use barcode font on that field in the report.

    This converts it to barcode.

    Use a font where the name starts with "BC" and you will get a barcode.

    Different barcode fonts / types support different characters - for example some support only numbers, so please take this into consideration.

    You can use BarcodeSetup.validateBarcode to validate your string.

    This blog (even though it's for AX2012) illustrates the whole process: https://dynamicsaxgyan.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/display-barcode-in-ssrs-report-dynamics-ax-2012/

    I'm not Martin.

    What do you mean with leading and trailing asterisk?

    - If you need asterisk around the actual barcode, just add two text fields in the report and put hardcoded asterisks in them. And the barcode in between.

    - Or, if you need to encode the asterisks into the barcode (meaning that the asterisk is not shown on the report, it's part of the string that is encoded into the barcode), then put them in the string that you show in the barcode field. In this case you can only use such barcode fonts that support asterisk character.

    Hi Ashokkumar,

    Next to development, there will be an option to design labels with Electronic Reporting: docs.microsoft.com/.../barcode-generation-datasource-configurable-business-documents

    A preview will become available in August this year. Some more information is available here: docs.microsoft.com/.../er-barcode-data-sources

    Please provide more info:

    - What mobile app are you talking about?

    - What do you mean by  "it does not work"? Does it not recognize it at all? Do you get some error message?

    - Are you able to scan some other barcodes succesfully with the app?

    - Are you able to scan barcodes on standard D365 reports with the app?
