Posted by e-punk at 9/29/2008 04:08:00 PM


Questions:

We are in the process of the SAP ERP implementation supporting RF transactions for Warehouse processes.
SAP's Mobile Data Entry supports both GUI (with graphical user interface) and character-based handheld devices.
Our client is interested in pursuing the GUI based handheld devices and is looking for recommendations, references and implementation experience with particular details on-
1. Guidelines for choosing the RF Handheld device, and hardware partners.
2. Any testimonials involving implementation of Web enables RF Transactions (using Web SAPConsole)
3. The implementation efforts needed (development as well as configuration) and challenges faced for using Web SAPConsole.
4. Detail configuration steps for implementing Web SAPConsole


Answer:



1). Intermec is a successful vendor for RF bar code scanners/barcode label printers

http://www.intermec.com/products/index.aspx

You can also see Teklogix, Telxon, Symbol and LXE devices online

You can also refer to successful barcode printer vedors for Zebra

http://www.zebraprinters.com/

these have almost been a monopoly in successful SAP implementations

There are known problems with other barcode scanners integrated to SAP Webconsoloe

2). Web SAP console implementation references

3). Effort needed depends on how much customization you are looking for. Its better to use standard SAP transactions rather than going for any custom transactions. Most well know problems in Web console are in the area of mapping function key between RF guns and SAP. You can refer to following thread in this regard.

4). Configuration steps involved in implementing SAP Web Console

Functional: SPRO->LE/Mobil Data Entry
  • Maintain Verification profiles for goods movements for which data to be scanned through RF transactions
  • Maintain Barcode Specification and assign barcode types to warehouse
  • Define Menus and Screens
  • RF queue management for different tasks in warehouse and assign users to queues

Technical: Installation of SAP Web Console Servers and mapping them to devices and SAP. Your BASIS team is responsible for this. They will get the installation/user/RF Mobile Enabling guides with the software.
