Answer:
Bar codes don't go anywhere, they are a method of recording information.
There are a few ways of getting information into a system depending on whether you are on 4.6 or below.
An easy (the easiest) method in how to implement bar coding is (after you have looked at your business processes), is to use a wedge scanner.
This is a bar code scanner that plugs into the keyboard and injects key codes into the keyboard buffer. If you use a tab character as the delimiter in your barcodes just that alone can be used to enter data into screens.
Further along, but a bit more difficult is to use is to use a VB front end using RFC calls to SAP. In this way you can then process complete business practices in one go such as goods receipts and goods movements
In the same vein you then get to R/F where you can have dedicated hand held units running their own code calling SAP via RFC's across a wireless network.
