Description


Collector steps are define in "Reference Data". Making them static to a degree.

However, often you want the step to have a Default Value or other information related to the current Line.


  • In this example we will make a Collector Step on a Line dynamic by adding the relevant "Item No." as Default value and as a Help Text


Note:

  • Please start by following a complete example of adding a Collector Step on Line basis.
  • Seek inspiration in Codeunit MOB Conf. Tools


Syntax

'CollectorKey{[key][attribute][value]}'

For example:
RegisterExtraInfo','DemoOrderLineExtraInfo{[StepNameA][PropertyA][ValueA][StepNameB][PropertyB][ValueB]}



How to enable

Step 1 - Add/Define the collector step in Reference Data

 


Block 2: Codeunit 6181381 TF Mobile WMS Reference Data
...
// Example of making a step dynamic      
MobConfTools.RC_Std_Parms(1,'MyTextStep','Enter my text','','Please confirm my text');
MobConfTools.RC_Text_CData(XMLCDataSection,'',20);  // Default value = blank because it will be injected dynamically from the Line



Step 2 - Include the step in a Warehouse functionality like Pick



Codeunit 6181388 MOB WMS Toolbox
 IF WhseActHeader.Type IN [WhseActHeader.Type::Pick,WhseActHeader.Type::"Invt. Pick"] THEN
        MobXMLMgt.AddElement(XMLOrderLine,'RegisterExtraInfo',
                             STRSUBSTNO('DemoOrderLineExtraInfo{[MyTextStep][defaultValue][%1][MyTextStep][helpLabel][We expect "%1"]}',WhseActLinePlace."Item No."),
                             NS_BASE_DATA_MODEL,XMLCreatedNode);
