Integration of Automatic Identification and Data Capture devices with SAP R/3

Although SAP R/3 has become widely utilized as a means to change IT systems and
business processes, not all organizations embarking on its implementation have
achieved their intended results particularly in inventory management. Automatic
identification and data capture are distinguished as an important emergent area of
enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation. Due to optimization and
globalization of business operation, efficient supply chain management becomes
more crucial. The objective of this project is to present the accessibility of barcode
technology in providing automated data handling. A number of products are
available for implementation, but this project focuses on SAP R/3 from SAP AG.
Business scenario from media industries are been utilized to stimulate the real
environment of barcode implementation within SAP system. Configuration of the
SAP system is implemented to obtain the optimal solutions based on requirement
gathered from the first phase of the project. Replication of the case study illustrates
the applicability of the approach to overcome the issues and the advantages of the
solution. Simulation of the result is expected to be a key answer for reducing the
human errors occurs in business process transaction and increase the employee's
productivity.
