What is a Header?

Step 1 - Define Header and Filters 

Use the OnGetReferenceData_OnAfterCreateHeaderConfigurations (v5.00-5.13) to create you new header.

    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB WMS Reference Data", 'OnGetReferenceData_OnAfterCreateHeaderConfigurations', '', true, true)]
    local procedure OnGetReferenceData_OnAfterCreateHeaderConfigurations(var _HeaderConfigurationElement: Record "MOB RefD HeaderConfig Element")
    begin
        with _HeaderConfigurationElement do begin
            Create('MyReceiptFilters'); // New Header name to use instead of "ReceiveOrderFilters"

            // -- Add the header Filters --

            // Add standard location filter - this is already handled in standard Receive
            AddList_Location(1);

            // Add our new custom filter - this is declared fully. It is a Text field.
            Add_TextValue(
                 2, //id
                 'DocumentNoFilter',//name
                 'Doc. filter label:',          //label
                 100,               //label width
                 true,              //clear on clear
                 true,              //accept barcode
                 20,                //length
                 true,              //optional
                 '',                //search type
                 '',                //ean GS1Ai
                 false);            //locked
        end;
    end;

Tip

• Note how helper-functions like Add_Location and Add_TextValue are used
• There are many more to choose from

Step 2 - Modify Application.cfg

We have created a new header for Receive.

Currently you cannot overrule an existing header, so you must modify the standard Receive header in Mobile configuration like so:

<page id="Receive" type="OrderList" icon="mainmenureceive">
  <title defaultValue="@{PageReceiveOrderListTitle}" />
  <orderListConfiguration automaticOrderSelectionAfterFilter="true">
    <service id="Receive" />
        
    <!--CUSTOM--> 
    <!--<filter configurationKey="ReceiveOrderFilters" />-->
    <filter configurationKey="MyReceiptFilters" />
    <!--CUSTOM--> 
        
    <list listId="Orders" />
    <onOrderSelected navigateTo="ReceiveLines" />
    <unlockOrder title="@{ReleaseOrderMenuItem}"/>
  </orderListConfiguration>
</page>

Step 3 - Select your document event

Select all the events for the Planned function you are working on (We used "Receive" in this guide)

Supported events

Step 4 - Structure your code

Make sure to affect all related documents.

A change in filter "PO Number" must affect both:

• Receiving on "Warehouse Receipts" (based on Purchase orders)
• Receiving directly on "Purchase Orders"

Make your code callable from both events:

• OnGetReceiveOrders_OnSetFilterPurchaseOrder

• OnGetReceiveOrders_OnSetFilterWarehouseReceipt

Tips:

• Create a new procedure and call it from both events
• Line filters affect which Order Headers are relevant.
  • If no Order Lines exists for a Header. The header is not included in the response.

You are given these parameters:

• _HeaderFilter.Name:
  • Name of filter. 
    • I.e.: 'AssignedUser', 'ScannedValue', 'Location' etc.
    • Or custom name given in OnGetReferenceData_OnAfterCreateHeaderConfigurations (v5.00-5.13)
  • Use this to check if the event handling your desired filter.
    
    
• _HeaderFilter.Value:
  • The filter value collected from the mobile user. 
    • Use or Modify this value for filtering.
      
      
• _WhseReceiptHeader: 
  • Resulting filtering set of Orders.
  • Apply filters to affect the resulting OrderList.
    
    
• _WhseReceiptLine:
  • Resulting filtering set of Order Lines.
  • Apply filters to affect the resulting OrderList.
    
    • Line filters also affects which Order are included.
    • Empty lines = the order is not relevant.
• _IsHandled:
  • Use this to decide whether the Standard code should continue to apply the filter as normal.
  • You might want to Piggyback on a standard filter OR Overrule it.

Step 5 - Handle each document event

There are four OnSetFilter-events for Receive.

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB WMS Receive", 'OnGetReceiveOrders_OnSetFilterWarehouseReceipt', '', true, true)]
procedure OnGetReceiveOrders_OnSetFilterWarehouseReceipt(_HeaderFilter: Record "MOB NS Request Element"; var _WhseReceiptHeader: Record "Warehouse Receipt Header"; var _WhseReceiptLine: Record "Warehouse Receipt Line"; var _IsHandled: Boolean)
begin
    // [Scenario] Handle/Apply filter to Warehouse Receipts

    if _HeaderFilter.Name = 'DocumentNoFilter' then begin
        if _HeaderFilter."Value" <> '' then
            _WhseReceiptHeader.SetRange("No.", _HeaderFilter."Value");
        _IsHandled := true;
    end;

end;

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB WMS Receive", 'OnGetReceiveOrders_OnSetFilterPurchaseOrder', '', true, true)]
procedure OnGetReceiveOrders_OnSetFilterPurchaseOrder(_HeaderFilter: Record "MOB NS Request Element"; var _PurchHeader: Record "Purchase Header"; var _PurchLine: Record "Purchase Line"; var _IsHandled: Boolean)
begin

    // [Scenario] Handle filter for Purchase Orders
    if _HeaderFilter.Name = 'DocumentNoFilter' then
        _IsHandled := true;

end;

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB WMS Receive", 'OnGetReceiveOrders_OnSetFilterSalesReturnOrder', '', true, true)]
procedure OnGetReceiveOrders_OnSetFilterSalesReturnOrder(_HeaderFilter: Record "MOB NS Request Element"; var _SalesReturnHeader: Record "Sales Header"; var _SalesReturnLine: Record "Sales Line"; var _IsHandled: Boolean)
begin

    // [Scenario] Handle filter for Sales Return Orders
    if _HeaderFilter.Name = 'DocumentNoFilter' then
        _IsHandled := true;
end;

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB WMS Receive", 'OnGetReceiveOrders_OnSetFilterTransferOrder', '', true, true)]
procedure OnGetReceiveOrders_OnSetFilterTransferOrder(_HeaderFilter: Record "MOB NS Request Element"; var _TransferHeader: Record "Transfer Header"; var _TransferLine: Record "Transfer Line"; var _IsHandled: Boolean)
begin

    // [Scenario] Handle filter for Transfer Orders
    if _HeaderFilter.Name = 'DocumentNoFilter' then
        _IsHandled := true;
end;
