Workflow interface for wireless scanning of Barcode

[Swami Bala]

Hello Tomasz,
We have plenty of problems synchronizing the third party software that we
currently use to
do near-real-time operations. Maybe we should look for some other products
out there in the market.
But we would certainly like to consider about tRfc method.
Thanks for the information and let me know if you happen to know about any
latest third party software.
 
Swaminathan
