    Couple of things:

    1. Can you move the BCR field to the top of the template. It looks like it appears after the barcode field which could be causing the issue.

    2. To confirm, you are using the E Business Suite version of Publisher?

    3. Can you send me the template and some sample data?

    This doesn't seem to work, I must be doing something wrong. Do you think I could send you my teamplate by mail ?

    For 11g the path does not use apps

    Try using '<?register-barcode-vendor:'oracle.xdo.template.rtf.util.XDOBarcodeUtil';'XMLPBarVendor'?>

    1. I moved the BCR field to the top of the rtf but it doesn't change anything.

    2. I'm using a 11.XX version of BIP as shown on this screen, this is why i took the path '<?register-barcode-vendor:'oracle.apps.xdo.template.rtf.util.XDOBarcodeUtil';'XMLPBarVendor'?> :

    3. What is you email so I can send you the documents ?

    Hi

    I have solved the problem! I just needed to RTFM! Things in 11.1.1.9 and above changed when you wanted to use the fonts shipped with Publisher or the Publisher encoder class.

    https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/11119/bip/BIPRD/create_rtf_tmpl.htm#newfontsetup  --> Scroll to 4.17.1 Using the Barcode Fonts Shipped with BI Publisher

    You just need to use the following in your field

    <?format-barcode:SHIPMENT_XID;'code128a'?>

    No need for the 'XMLPBarVendor' parameter anymore. There is also no need to register the barcoder class or the barcode vendor unless you write your own encoder.

    I tested your template and data and its generating the encoded string and formatting with a code128 barcode that is readable with my phone app.

    Good luck!

    Cheers

    Tim

    Ok I misunderstood you. I already tried with that line of code but it still doesn't work though. Your email doesn't appear in your profile, it must be in private.

    For the 1st choice I have already tried but it doesn"t work: i've uninstalled the code 128 font I had uploaded on bip so (fopefully) it would take the default code 128 font of BIP but it doesn't do the link with the template. What font should I choose for the barcode field in the rtf ? Since I don't have the equivalent of the default code 128 which is in BIP...I can't (or at least I haven't found how) donwload the font from BIP contrary to what you said and I don't have it in BIP on word (donwloading BIP for word didn't add any fonts)

    Hi Tim,

    Thanks for your help, unfortunately this is not working for me, I had already tried using <?format-barcode:SHIPMENT_XID;'code128a'?> but it doesn't work. When I run the teamplate this is the kind of barcode I get :

    I just used the template I sent you and changed the code in bardcode field to <?format-barcode:SHIPMENT_XID;'code128a'?>.

    Do you remember where you downloaded your Code 128 font ? And did you upload it onto bip ? Under what name ?
