Add an option on all Jobboss generated reports that have bar codes to be able to select QR codes.
There are many situations where the current bar codes generated in Jobboss reports that the current bar code does not work. For example if there is a "space" in the text for the bar code the "space" is truncated out and you will get an error that stated "Record not Found". Also in some fields Jobboss has increased the field length so large that the entire bar code cannot be read with the reader because the bar code is too long. So if you are going to make bar codes available then they need to work reliably.

We have seen this problem also where barcodes scanned from the Data Collection (DC) "Location List" Report and the Material Location on the Traveler do not include the spaces which cause the scanned value to not be found.
We have both the Tera T5100C and Tera D5100 Scanners and when scanning "A-1 BIN 3", the spaces are not part of the scanned text - it only scans "A1BIN3". When I create the barcode on the below website (both 128 and 39), my scanner is able to read the spaces fine. This indicates that the barcodes being produced don't match the text with spaces that is entered into JobBOSS.

I was told it has been a bug for a long time and the Priority to fix this is "Low"!!? We purchased DC to only then learn that it is defective as it negates using the scanner at all for Material transactions and has a huge negative impact on our processes!
