Is there a way with a combo of apps/plugins I can make a barcode within filemaker from the data of a certain field?

Thanks in advance

It's pretty easy. We do it here all the time for pricing labels, etc. We purchased a set of barcode fonts from idautomation.com. They have a page that walks you through setting it up.

What barcode scheme are you using? For Code 39, all you need is the font; for some other ones (i.e. Code 128 and others that require check digits), you need to download their free plugin.
