Bar Code Scanner for time management

I have a project that requires time management of certain projects.

When a person starts a project. They would scan the bar code on the invoice and insert the time of when it got started. And when done, they would scan the invoice again and the time would be recorded again. This in return would calculate the total time that it took.

 

Is it possible to read a bar code?

Hi hcri50,

Currently there isn't an option to record the time details when a bar code is scanned in Salesforce, however there are apps that were developed on the appexchange such as
https://appexchange.salesforce.com/results?keywords=barcode&type=Apps. Or you can also vote for the idea for implementation: Barcode Field Type

Hi,
As for me, I am testing the related .net barcode reader (http://www.keepautomation.com/products/net_barcode_reader/)  these days. Do you have any ideas about it? Or any good suggestion? I am totally a green hand on barcode reading (http://www.keepautomation.com/products/java_barcode_reader/)  field. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.


Best regards,
Arron

Hello, hcri50
I think I can give you some suggestions on my experience. there are many kinds of barcode scanner for each platform.
Here are some reference for you:
If you need to scan barcode in java class, this one may help you: (http://www.onbarcode.com/tutorial/java-barcode-reader.html)
If you need to scan barcode in.net project, you can use: (http://www.onbarcode.com/products/net_barcode_reader/)
These two are common used. I think it's enough to help you solve your problem.
Good luck.
