How-to: Use LineSelection to select line and set default registration values

Requirements

Android App 1.5.9
Extension version: Currently not supported by API (version MOB5.27)
Only the following data types are supported:
- ItemNumber
- SerialNumber
- GS1 barcodes are required unless a Barcode converter is used that supports the above data types

Description

Line selection functionality makes it possible to:

Select a line based on a response from the backend
Set default values on the line steps

Selecting a Line

The selection can be done on any value defined on the order line, either standard like ItemNumber, or custom elements added the lines on Order Lines GetOrderLines Response

If LineNumber is used as the selection name, then the application will go straight for that line.

If any other value is sent out, the application will go through the automatic searching mechanism where order line registration status is taken into account as well as the position of the selection.

Setting Step default values

The response can also include values to be set on the line steps as predefined default values.

Example 1: Online Validation on Receive

In this example we will add all the available onlinevalidations to the Planned Receive function.

Step 1: Enable Online validation

Add <validation> tags to the existing Receive Service (or Pick etc.)

Mobile configuration application.cfg

<service id="Pick" type="Order" orderType="Pick">
  <requests>
    <getOrders>GetPickOrders</getOrders>
    <getOrderLines>GetPickOrderLines</getOrderLines>
    <postOrder>PostPickOrder</postOrder>
    <lineSelection includeCollectedValues="true">SearchForPickLine</lineSelection>
  </requests>
</service>
