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 three 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.
