What is it

Collect additional data on line basis.  (Not to be confused with Header level)

Description

Collector steps are define in "Reference Data". Making them static to a degree.

However, often you want the step to have a Default Value or other information related to the current Line.

• In this example we will use the (planned) Count function.

Standard workflow collector steps

1. From Bin
2. To Bin
3. Expiration Date
4. Lot No.
5. Tote ID
6. Serial No.
7. Quantity

Planned functions that use the "Standard workflow"

• make a Collector Step on a Line dynamic by adding the relevant "Item No." as Default value and as a Help Text

Note:

• Please start by following a complete example of adding a Collector Step on Line basis.
• Seek inspiration in Codeunit MOB Conf. Tools

Syntax

'CollectorKey{[key][attribute][value]}'

For example:
RegisterExtraInfo','DemoOrderLineExtraInfo{[StepNameA][PropertyA][ValueA][StepNameB][PropertyB][ValueB]}

How to enable

Step 1 - Add/Define the collector step in Reference Data

When a device log in, Reference Data is sent to the device. We need to include the definition of our collector to the Reference data.

We will name our collector step "CountLineExtraInfo".

 'CountLineExtraInfo':
    BEGIN// Example of making a step dynamic      
MobConfTools.RC_Std_Parms(1,'MyTextStep','Enter my text','','Please confirm my          // ID
                                'CountLine',    // Name
                 text');
MobConfTools.RC_Text_CData(XMLCDataSection,'',20);  // Default value = blank because it will be injected dynamically from the Line

Step 2 - Include the step in a Warehouse functionality like Pick

 IF WhseActHeader.Type IN [WhseActHeader.Type::Pick,WhseActHeader.Type::"Invt. Pick"] THEN
              'Count LineMobXMLMgt.AddElement(XMLOrderLine,'RegisterExtraInfo',
  // Header                          STRSUBSTNO('DemoOrderLineExtraInfo{[MyTextStep][defaultValue][%1][MyTextStep][helpLabel][We       'Extra info:'expect "%1"]}',WhseActLinePlace."Item No."),
 // Label                                 'Extra info');  // Help Label

      MobConfTools.RC_Decimal_CData(XMLCDataSection,0,0,0,3,TRUE);
    END;

The function CreateOrderLinesResponse is responsible for the reply to the device, including which values to collect.

We will add the following code block have it include our CountLineExtraInfo.
Add you own conditions to when the step should be included, in example, certain items.

MobXMLMgt.AddElement(XMLOrderLine,'RegisterExtraInfo','CountLineExtraInfo',BaseDataModelNS,XMLCreatedNode);

Step 3 - Handle the Posting

The XML Request from the scanner, will look like this.

Note the "ExtraInfo" tag with out "CountLine" tag included, along with the value.

Image Removed

Add the following code block to handle the collected value, stored in a tag called "CountLine" as per above naming.

IF XMLExtraInfoElementNode.Name = 'CountLine' THEN;

NS_BASE_DATA_MODEL,XMLCreatedNode);
