Overview

Some history

In fall 2019, NAV development has reached the end of the road. 

Mobile WMS has therefore been available on AppSource as an Extension for Business Central.

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


Tip: Are you ready to start extending, the go to Getting started


The new way: Extending the extension

With Mobile WMS version 5.00, we are introducing our partners to the Extension API for Mobile WMS.

The API offers Integration Events and code patterns that allow Mobile WMS to be extended by the partner, without modifying the Main extension.


Benefits include:

  • Simplified functions, so the partner can focus on the customers requirement and not the system.

  • Work with mobile data without handling XML response data manually, eliminating need for knowledge of the underlying Request/Response structures.
  • "Documentation Driven Development" means all events can found in the API Documentation area. 

Explore the new events in the API Documentation

For all events the documentation includes:

  • Code template
  • Working code examples


Examples gets you started quickly


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.
