Description

With this feature the registration data is continuously sent to the back-end, every time the user performs registration.

Normally, registrations are stored on the mobile device until user posts.

With LiveUpdate, real time data can become available to the back-end, before data is posted.


Use cases

  • Avoid selling specific Items which are already picked, but not yet posted by warehouse worker.
  • Perform unplanned counts while respecting current picks/put-aways.


Tip

Unposted data can be changed by the mobile user at any time.


Communication with back-end

There are four kinds of mobile requests for LiveUpate. 

A registration is made

Example:

  • Line quantity is 10 pcs.
  • 3 of lot no. A was already picked.
  • 7 of lot no. B is now picked.

All registrations for this one line is sent - including all existing and the one just made.

A registration is deleted

All registrations for this one line is sent - which is information about the line - but empty registrations.

This action is used 


All registrations for entire order are deleted  

A request with the attribute 'clearOrderLines' is sent. 


This action is used 



Order is posted

After the request for "Post all registrations" is issued

An additional request is issued to "Delete all registrations" for the entire order

Registrations are continuously cleared from the back-end this way.


How to enable

Step 1

Modify the Mobile Configuration File

Note the the following:

  • "operationMode" = OnlineWithLiveUpdate
  • "liveUpdate" = RegisterRealtimeQuantity (Choose your own name)


<!-- SERVICES -->


<services>
...
 
<service id="Pick" type="Order" orderType="Pick" operationMode="OnlineWithLiveUpdate">
  <requests>
    <getOrders>GetPickOrders</getOrders>
    <getOrderLines>GetPickOrderLines</getOrderLines>
    <postOrder>PostPickOrder</postOrder>
    <liveUpdate>RegisterRealtimeQuantity</liveUpdate>
  </requests>
</service>


Step 2


Business Central implementation

The “Realtime” registration data is stored in a separate table “MOB Realtime Reg Qty.” as they are received. From here the data for all mobile devices can be accessed from your customization.

These registrations are only stored for validation purposes and never used in the actual posting. The registrations to be posted are still received with the Post-request when posting the document and stored in “MOB WMS Registrations” as usually.
