, July 20, 2023 1551 Views

Microsoft Dynamics 365 provides the ability to scan the barcode from the mobile phone and tablets. For that you can enable “Barcode Scanner” control on any single line of text field from the form.

One can use this Barcode Scanning option to access the data easily. Let’s take an example to understand it in a better way.

One organization is having Dynamics 365 to process their Orders. They want the ability to capture Product on the Order Line table by scanning the Barcode from their wide range of Products using the mobile application of Dynamics 365. To accomplish this, we can follow the below steps.

First, add one single line of text field on Order Product form named Barcode in Order Product table. After adding a field, open the field properties of the same field and then click on “Add Control”.

Then select the Barcode Scanner control and click on “Add”.

Let say in dynamics, Products are already stored with their barcode numbers. Now we need to populate the Product lookup present on the Order Line based on the Barcode value captured from the mobile camera.

To populate the Product, we need to write JavaScript function that trigger on change of the Barcode field. Microsoft provides different function to get the value when we use scanning feature from the mobile camera.

Xrm.Device.getBarcodeValue() will give us the scanned barcode value when our function triggers from the mobile app.

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var barcode = formContext.getAttribute("advic_barcode").getValue();
    if (barcode == null && Xrm.Device != null) {
      Xrm.Device.getBarcodeValue().then(
        function success(result) {
          barcode = result;
        },
        function (error) {
          Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog( {text: error.message} );
        }
      );
    }

As mentioned in above function, in success call back result we can get the barcode value.

Hope this helps!
