Why do I have to configure the barcode font mapping?

To display and print the barcode properly on expense reports, you must map the barcode font to the correct font in Oracle Analytics Publisher.

To do this, perform the following steps:

1. In Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise, sign in as a user with Administrator access.

2. In the toolbar, click the Catalog menu.

3. In the Catalog pane, open Shared Folders and then open the Financials folder.

4. Select the Expenses folder and then select the Printable Expense Report Template icon.

5. Click the Edit link. The Printable Expense Report Template tab appears.

6. In the toolbar, click the Properties icon. The Report Properties dialog box appears.

7. In the Report Properties dialog box, select the Font Mapping tab.

8. In the RTF Templates region, add a new row.

9. In the Font Family field, enter Bookman.

10. From the Target Font choice list, select 128R00.TTF.

    Note: Code 128 is the barcode symbology provided with Oracle Fusion Applications.

11. Click the OK button.

12. To save the barcode font mapping, click the Save icon in the toolbar.

To use another barcode symbology, you must load the barcode font to the Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise Server and then perform steps 1 to 12.

Note: At any point in time, you can have only one active barcode font mapping for the Printable Expense Report Template. That is, only one active mapping can be used for the barcode font in the Printable Expense Report Template.
