Barcode Scanning to SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mini_R53 23

Hi all,
I am new to powerapps. I am trying to build a simple powerapp to scan a barcode and record it as a new item on SharePoint.

 

Below is my code for 'OnScan':

Patch(Inventory,{'Scanned By': User().FullName, 'Scanned Time': Now(), Storage: BarcodeReader1.Value, Product:"ORIG INN"})

 

As soon as I use the BarcodeReader1.value - it doesn't work anymore.

 

I have tried just putting a static text on the Storage field and I can confirm that it records a new record in SharePoint.

 

Can anyone please advise how can I get this Barcodereader field to record on the storage field.

Thank you

    just to add the barcodereader.value seems like it is working on powerapps built 1 or 2 years ago.

    Found the issue - powerapps have retired the 'barcode scanner' and replaced it with 'barcode reader'.

    For the barcode reader - the command is:

    Storage: First(BarcodeReader1.Barcodes).Value

     

    the storage is the field name on my sharepoint list.

    Hi @sohc ,

     

    Please try this if you want to add a new item when scanning the barcode.

    Patch(Inventory,Defaults(Inventory),{'Scanned By': User().FullName, 'Scanned Time': Now(), Storage: First(BarcodeReader1.Barcodes).Value, Product:"ORIG INN"})

     

    Best Regards,

    Wearsky
