Bar Code Entry 
Bar Code Entry
Use
When you create a single settlement request, settlement request list, or vendor billing document, you can assign bar codes to the documents. This ensures that you have access at all times to the original documents archived in the system.
It makes sense to use this function if, for example, you enter the original documents from your business partners by scanning.
Integration
You use SAP ArchiveLink to enter documents with bar codes.
For more information, see the SAP ArchiveLink documentation here:
SAP ArchiveLink.
Prerequisites
To be able to archive documents with bar codes, the entry component of your content server must support bar codes.
In addition, in the billing document type in Customizing for Agency Business, you must define that bar code entry is to be carried out for certain billing document types. Here, you enter the original document (for example incoming invoice) that the document entered in the system refers to.
Features
There are two ways of archiving documents with bar codes:
This archiving strategy is used to separate the archiving of incoming documents from the actual procedure, that is, from the entry of the agency document.
In this archiving strategy, the document is archived after the agency document is entered.
For more information, see the SAP ArchiveLink documentation:
Scenario description:
Storage Scenario With Integration of Barcode Technology
Procedure:
Run Barcode Scenarios.
When you create the agency document, a dialog box appears in which you enter the bar code either manually or using a bar code reader.
SAP ArchiveLink then creates the assignment between the original document archived in the system and the agency document.
When you display or change the agency document, you can go to the original document.
