Description

Excerpt
Add a new Unplanned Function as action on Pick Lines. 


Use case

This example shows you how to transfer transfers values from an Order Line to a new unplanned function.

Calculating the remaining quanity of the line and presenting this to the user, for them to change.

Note: The example has no logic to save the collected quanity in the database

This example gives you

  • An new Unplanned function as action in Pick Lines
  • Three

    This example results in

    • One new Unplanned Functions
      • One action on "Pick Lines" to this function
    • Three Header-fields
      • That transfers Location, Bin and Item from the Order
      lines
      • line
    • One decimal A step to collect a decimal value from the user 

    The unplanned workflow

    Make sure the unplanned workflow suits your requirement.


    Using the transferred values when adding the step

    We use the transferred values when adding the decimal step:

    • The registered (not yet posted) quantity is compared to the full line quantity
    • The result is suggested as Default Value in the step


    Step 1: Defining a new Unplanned function 

    This part requires you to edit the Mobile Configuration Files

    Add this section in the <pages> tag.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    themeEclipse
    <!-- Custom -->
    <page id="UnableToPick" type="UnplannedItemRegistration" icon="mainmenunegativeadjustment">
        <title defaultValue="Unable To Pick"/>
        <unplannedItemRegistrationConfiguration type="UnableToPick">
        <header configurationKey="UnableToPick" automaticAcceptOnOpen="true"/>
      </unplannedItemRegistrationConfiguration>
    </page>
    <!-- Custom -->

    We want to add this to the existing Pick Lines page in the Action Menus Then  Then add this section to the <actions> tag of Pick Lines page:
    Code Block
    languagexml
    themeEclipse
    <page id=Picklines...>
    <...>
    <actions>
      <!-- Custom --> 
        <open id="UnableToPick" icon="mainmenunegativeadjustment" title="Unable To Pick"/>
      <!-- Custom -->

    Step 2: Define Header and header fields

    Unplanned functions uses Header-fieldsto determine which Steps to collect.

    In this step you must define which header fields you want the user to see.

     [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB WMS Reference Data", 'OnGetReferenceData_OnAddHeaderConfigurations', '', true, true)]
        localprocedure MynGetReferenceData_OnAddHeaderConfigurations(var _HeaderFields: Record "MOB HeaderField Element")
        begin
            _HeaderFields.InitConfigurationKey('UnableToPick'); // Name of Header

            // Add Header fields
            // Using pre-defined helper-functions makes it easy to transfer values as field names match 100%
            _HeaderFields.Create_ListField_Location(10);    // 'Location' is a known field on OrderLines response
            _HeaderFields.Set_locked(true);

            _HeaderFields.Create_TextField_FromBin(20);     // 'FromBin' is a known field on OrderLines response
            _HeaderFields.Set_locked(true);

            _HeaderFields.Create_TextField_ItemNumber(30);  // 'ItemNumber' is a known field on OrderLines response
            _HeaderFields.Set_locked(true);
        end;

    Step 3: Return Steps to collect

    When the header is accepted a new request is made for which Steps to collect, called  "GetRegistrationConfiguration".

        localprocedure CollectFailedQty(_RegistrationType: Text; var _HeaderFieldValues: Record "MOB NS Request Element"; var _Steps: Record "MOB Steps Element"; var _RegistrationTypeTracking: Text)
        var
            MobToolbox: Codeunit "MOB Toolbox";
            UnableToPickQuantity: Decimal;
        begin
            // Handle only this type
            if _RegistrationType <> 'UnableToPick'then
                exit;

            // Reading Header values (not needed in this example)
            // _HeaderFieldValues.Get_Location();                      // Helper functions exists for common names
            // _HeaderFieldValues.GetValue('AnyField');             // Any custom name
            // _HeaderFieldValues.GetValueAsDecimal('AnyField');   // Get a value as decimal

            // Reading context values inherited from Order Lines


            // Calculate suggested quantity that was unable to be picked
            UnableToPickQuantity:= _HeaderFieldValues.GetContextValueAsDecimal('Quantity') -           // The remaining quantity to be picked
                                    _HeaderFieldValues.GetContextValueAsDecimal('RegisteredQuantity');            // Subtract the currently registered quantity, not-yet-posted  (if any)


            // Create "Decimal Step" to collect the failed quantity
            _Steps.Create_DecimalStep(10, 'UnableToPickQuantity', false);
            _Steps.Set_header('Unable to pick');
            _Steps.Set_label('Quantity:');
            _Steps.Set_helpLabel('Please input the quantity you were unable to pick');

            _Steps.Set_defaultValue(UnableToPickQuantity);          // Suggest our calculated value as DefaultValue
            _Steps.Set_minValue(0.0000000001);                            // Must be a positive number
            _Steps.Set_eanAi(MobToolbox.GetQuantityGS1Ai());        // Set AI to quantity (310,30,37) so GS1 barcodes scans directly into the step

            // (Create more steps here)
        end;


    If you fail to perform this step, you will receive this error.

    Step 4: Handle posting

    When the Header has been accepted and Steps collected, a final

    You can now run your function from Mobile.

    • Steps has been collected and you press "Accept". Now request is made to "Post" the information ("PostAdhocRegistration")
    • In this step you must read the collected values and post them to the database
    .Run your function fra Mobile and you can inspect the Post Request directly. See How-to: Inspect documentsYou might receive an error if your subscriber is not running. Image Removed

    Step 5: Set tracking info (optional)

    The parameter _RegistrationTypeTracking can be used to make the Document Queue display additional information about your process.
