The iOS Label Reader App for SAP® Business ByDesign allows you to scan your SAP Business ByDesign labels and read the information held by the system for that label, such as product ID, description, quantity, etc. It has been designed to be really simple to use and to use the app, you only need to click the “Scan Label” button! The app supports many barcode types although it is recommended to use QR codes if possible as these will decode these much quicker and from a further distance than 1D barcodes.
