Add Barcode in oracle fusion Reports

 Hi Everyone,

In this post let us see how to add Barcode in Oracle Fusion RTF Templates and setups to be done to reflect in the report output.

Step1: Check if  "Code 128" font is available in MS Word.

There are many fonts that support barcode, for this blog, we are using "Code 128"       

If not available Font File will be available in the system if you have already BI Publisher installed in your system.

Follow the steps to get the file, so it can be installed

Goto the following path: C:\Program Files\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts

Copy the highlighted file 128R00.rtf and install it.

Step2: Once we have required font, goto your rtf and insert the tag and select the font as Code128.

Sample xml:

Inserted field in rtf

Now change font to Code 128

Step3: Upload the rtf in required report

Step4: If Code 128 is not available in Oracle ERP, follow these steps to install so that when users run the report the see the Barcode

Login > goto Reports and Analytics > under username > Administration>Manage BI Publisher > Font Mappings

"Upload Fonts" under "Manage Custom Fonts"

This is how it looks:

Then add this uploaded Font under RTF Templates > Add Font Mapping

Base Font: Code 128, Select Target Font: 128R00.TTF and click Apply

So thats it , now report is ready to be tested with barcode
