Intro and some history

With Business Central Fall Release 2019 (version 15) C/SIDE development has reached the end of the road. AL is now the only way of doing customization's.

Starting with MOB 4.33 (December 2018) we have had an AppSource offer for Business Central.

But if you needed to do any major customization work you had to take ownership of our (Per-Tenant) extension, which still allows in-code customization.

These first .al versions introduced very limited support for extending Mobile WMS. 

With MOB 5.00 we took the next step: The Extension API

Introducing Integration Events that allows Mobile WMS to be easily extended, without modifying the Main extension.

Request new features / Integration Events

This Extension API supports most customization's.

Including:

• Creating/posting your own custom AdHoc and Lookup documents.
• Modifying existing Planned functions with DisplayLines, Filtering, Ordering, Adding Steps or hooking onto posting events.

Should you require a feature or Event, please submit your usage scenario to us here.

Please find the integration events in the API Documentation. 

Each integration event includes

• A Code template 
• A working code example
  to copy to your own VS Code project!
  
  

Common for all events are new patterns for working with the data without handling XML response data manually.

This eliminates the need for any deep knowledge of the underlying Request/Response structure and ensures correct formatting and encoding of data.Some select high-level descriptions of

Descriptions of some integration events:

• Create your own new ReferenceData (headerConfigurations, registrationCollectorConfigurations and ListData.
  This includes a new pattern to create headerConfigurations without writing directly to the Xml.  The API documentation for new ReferenceData is here.
  
  
• Set custom Xml Response content from all major document handler codeunits.  
  This includes a new pattern for modifying Xml Content without writing to directly to the Xml (via new "OnAfterSetFrom[...]-events) l. An introduction can be found here  Whitepaper: Custom XML Response Extensions . A sample use is i.e. OnGetReceiveOrders_OnAfterSetFromWarehouseReceiptHeader
  
  
• Sorting Xml Response content from all major document handler codeunits
  Data returned from 'Get' Document Handlers can be be sorted by any pre-existing tag or custom tag in the Xml Response documents (via new 'OnAfterSetCurrentKey[...]-events). A sample use is i.e. OnGetReceiveOrders_OnAfterSetCurrentKey
  
  
• Create your own new custom document handlers and write your our own code to be executed during adhoc posting.
  If pre-existing events at other document handler classes for some reason do not meet your needs, a custom new Adhoc Registr. can be written to support basically any thinkable customization via new document handlers.
