How to Integrate Barcode Scanning into SAP and ERP Systems

One of the most common questions we hear from enterprise customers: "Will this work with our ERP system?" The short answer is yes — and you won't need any custom middleware or SDK integration to make it happen.

Why It Works with Any ERP

The Barcode & QR Code Keyboard works as an Android input method — just like your phone's regular keyboard. When you tap a text input field in any app, you can switch to the barcode keyboard and scan. The scanned data is entered as text, exactly as if you typed it. This means it works with any application that has text input fields, including:

• SAP Business One mobile client and SAP Fiori web apps
• Oracle WMS and Oracle NetSuite mobile apps
• Microsoft Dynamics 365 mobile and web interfaces
• Odoo, Zoho Inventory, and other cloud ERP systems
• Any web-based ERP accessed through Chrome or another mobile browser

Method 1: Direct Keyboard Input

The simplest approach — no configuration needed:

1. Open your ERP mobile app or web interface on your Android phone
2. Tap the input field where you want to enter a barcode (e.g., item number, serial number, lot number)
3. Switch to the Barcode & QR Code Keyboard
4. Point the camera at the barcode and scan
5. The barcode data is entered directly into the field

This works immediately with SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, and any other system. The keyboard simulates text input, so the ERP system treats it exactly like manually typed data.

Method 2: REST API for Backend Integration

For more advanced workflows, the app supports sending scanned data directly to a REST API endpoint. This is useful when you want to:

• Trigger automated workflows when a barcode is scanned
• Log scans to a central database
• Send data to your ERP's API without manual field entry

Configure the REST API endpoint in the app settings, and each scan will POST the barcode data to your server. This works with SAP's OData services, Oracle REST Data Services, or any custom API.

Method 3: Web Application Integration

If your ERP has a web interface (SAP Fiori, Oracle Cloud, Dynamics 365 web client), employees can access it through Chrome on their Android phone. The barcode keyboard works in any browser text field, making this the easiest enterprise integration path — zero IT involvement required.
