Discover how to seamlessly incorporate barcodes into Oracle HCM Payroll and BI reports, streamlining data management and enhancing operational efficiency.
Barcodes play a vital role in data collection strategies. Not only are they used to gather information about inventory, supply chain, and sales activity, but the latest generation of barcodes (in a common form of 1d & 2d) are also being deployed to learn more about customer behavior and preferences.
Barcodes already laid their existence into Oracle via Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud under the feature of Label Designer in Price Labels.
This blog mainly discusses the simple approach of incorporating the concept of barcodes into Oracle HCM-related and other Oracle BI Reports by implementing some of the minute configurations under “Administration >> Manage BI Publisher >> Font Mappings” of Reports & Analytics.
Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Reporting, powered by Oracle BI Publisher (formerly known as XML Publisher), is a comprehensive enterprise reporting solution designed to streamline the creation and generation of reports and forms. A key feature of Oracle BI Publisher is its ability to separate the data extraction process from the report layout, making it easier to manage and customize reports.
With Oracle BI Reporting, users can design and create report layout templates using widely available desktop applications like Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat. The solution then renders XML data based on these templates to produce reports in various formats such as PDF, RTF, Excel, and HTML, and supports multiple languages.
This powerful reporting approach reduces the need for constant report maintenance and allows business users to modify report templates independently, without relying on IT resources. Oracle BI Reporting enhances efficiency, enabling organizations to generate timely, accurate reports that meet their unique business requirements

By following the outlined steps to configure barcode fonts within the BI Administration settings, organizations can enhance their ability to track inventory, streamline processes, and improve overall accuracy. With barcodes facilitating automated data entry and providing real-time visibility into operations, businesses can optimize their supply chain management and better understand customer behavior, ultimately leading to enhanced decision-making and improved organizational performance.
