Description

• This example will result in a lookup function accessible by a Action.
• The lookup

• displays "Work Description"

• from a the Sales Order header

Other uses

• This
• - but this example can used display any information from Business Central, like Comments, notes or instructions

Prerequisites

• , Notes, Instructions etc.

See Lookup Functions to ensure this flow suits your requirement.

Step 1: Defining a new

custom lookup page 

This part requires you to edit the Mobile Configuration FileFiles

Add this section in the <pages> tag.

We use two special Notable properties:

<header> has two properties in the <header> element to achieve the desired behavior on the device. 

• automaticAcceptOnOpen = Defines if the values in the header should be automatically accepted. Formerly known as updateOnActivate.
• hideAfterAccept = If true, hide (collapse) the header when "Accept"-button is pressed at Mobile Device

<onResultSelected>

• navigateTo= Used to navigate to another page when selecting the lookup result (Null in this example)

<!-- Custom -->
<page id="WorkDescription" type="Lookup" icon="stopwatch">
  <title defaultValue="Work Description"/>
  <lookupConfiguration type="WorkDescription" useRegistrationCollector="false">
    <header configurationKey="WorkDescriptionHeader" automaticAcceptOnOpen="true" hideAfterAccept="true"/>
    <onResultSelected enabled="true" navigateTo="null"/>
       <list listId="Lookup"/>       
  </lookupConfiguration>      
</page>
<!-- Custom -->

Add this section to the <actions> tag in the Pick page.

<!-- Custom -->
<open id="WorkDescription" icon="stopwatch" title="Work Description"/>
<!-- Custom -->

Step 2: Define Header and

a Header Field

We only need to add one field containing the BackendID.

(When using same fieldname as in the page that is linked from, it will get automatically populated on the device)

Subscribe to this event

OnGetReferenceData_OnAddHeaderConfigurations "Create HeaderFields or Add HeaderFields to existing headers."

    called "ReferenceID".

This value will automatically be filled in, because "ReferenceID" is already present on all Planned Functions order and orderline -responses.

 "ReferenceID" is basically a RecordID which identifies an Order or Orderline.

Using event OnGetReferenceData_OnAddHeaderConfigurations

    // Step 2  Create new custom ConfigurationKey
    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit,  Codeunit::"MOB WMS Reference DataMOB WMS Reference Data",  'OnGetReferenceData_OnAddHeaderConfigurations',  '',  truetrue,  truetrue)]
        local procedure OnGetReferenceData OnGetReferenceData_OnAddHeaderConfigurations(var  _HeaderFields:  Record "MOB HeaderField ElementMOB HeaderField Element")
        begin
                //  Identifier for new ConfigurationKey - replace by your own key name
        Identifier for new ConfigurationKey - replace by your own key name
        _HeaderFields.InitConfigurationKey('WorkDescriptionHeader');
        
        //  Add headerConfiguration elements here                
        Add Header Fields
        _HeaderFields.Create_TextField_ReferenceID(1, 'BackendID');
    ); // "ReferenceID" is basically a RecordID which is present on all Planned functions. This is perfect for identifying the Sales Order No. or Whse. Activity
    end;

Step 3: Handle lookup

When the Header has been accepted, a final request is made to lookup the information ("Lookup")

In this step you must handle your custom lookup named "WorkDescription" and read the collected values (BackendID).

We will return a "LookupResponseElement" containing only DisplayLine1.

Using event

OnLookupOnCustomLookupType...

    // Step 3  Handle lookup
    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit,  Codeunit::"MOB WMS LookupMOB WMS Lookup",  'OnLookupOnCustomLookupType',  '',  truetrue,  truetrue)]

        begin
                if  _LookupType <> LookupType <> 'WorkDescription' then
                        exit;

            exit;
        WorkDescriptionLookup(_LookupType, _RequestValues, _XmlResultDoc);        _IsHandled := true;

        MobToolbox.InitializeResponseDocWithNS(_XmlResultDoc, XmlResponseData, CopyStr(MobXmlMgt.NS_WHSEMODEL(), 1, 1024));
        // Create new Response Element
        TempLookupResponseElement.Create();
        TempLookupResponseElement.Set_DisplayLine1(GetWorkDescription(BackendId));
        TempLookupResponseElement.Save();
        MobWmsLookup.AddLookupResponseElements(_LookupType, XmlResponseData, TempLookupResponseElement);
    end;

    // Simple sample Procedure to read Work Description from Source Document.
    local procedure GetWorkDescription(_BackendId: Code[20]): Text
    var
        WhseActHeader: Record "Warehouse Activity Header";
        SalesHeader: Record "Sales header";
    begin
        if WhseActHeader.Get(WhseActHeader.Type::"Invt. Pick", _BackendId) then
            if SalesHeader.Get(SalesHeader."Document Type"::Order, WhseActHeader."Source No.") then
                exit(SalesHeader.GetWorkDescription());
    end;

// Create new Response Element
        _LookupResponseElement.Create();
        _LookupResponseElement.Set_DisplayLine1(GetWorkDescription(_RequestValues.Get_ReferenceID())); // Use "ReferenceID" value from the Request values

        _IsHandled := true;
    end;

    local procedure GetWorkDescription(_RecordID: Text) ReturnValue: Text
    var
        WhseActHeader: Record "Warehouse Activity Header";

                end;

                            ReturnValue := SalesHeader.GetWorkDescription();

                    // Warehouse Pick
                    if WhseActHeader.Type = WhseActHeader.Type::"Pick" then begin

    end;

"ReferenceID" vs. "BackendID" / "OrderBackendID"

If "ReferenceID" is not present in the XML Request, you can use the default "BackendID" / "OrderBackendID" -values.

Depending on the context where you are adding the new menu Item, the XML Response will be different:

• Action from "Orders List" e.g "GetPickOrders":
  • <BackendID> is used
    
  • Evaluate(BackendId, _RequestValues.Get_BackendID());
    
    
• Use the new action on an "Order Lines List" e.g. "GetPickOrderLines"
  • <OrderBackendID> is used
