This is the simplest form of interaction with the back-end.

  • The user selects the action and the current Order Line information is sent to the back-end.
  • No dialog is presented to the user


You can add the action to:


Add to a Lookup 

Lookup's are: Bin Content, Locate Item etc.

Which data will be transferred to back-end?

Only the selected lookup entry will be transferred.

The sendRegistrationData attribute does not apply to lookup.


How to enable for Lookup

Step 1:  Add the action in Configuration file


In  Application.cfg 


"UnableToPick" action is added to the existing “Pick Line” page


Example
<adhocRegistration registrationType="MyLookupResultAction" id="2" icon="postsuccess" title="My Lookup Result action" sendRegistrationData="Order"> <onSuccessfulPost refreshOnSuccess="true"/> </adhocRegistration>


Step 2: Test the request 

After restart you can now select the action and inspect the Request it makes.


Example
<request name="PostAdhocRegistration" created="2019-12-06T14:08:10+01:00" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Dynamics/Mobile/2007/04/Documents/Request">
  <requestData name="PostAdhocRegistration">
    <Location>WHITE</Location>
    <Bin>W-01-0003</Bin>
    <selectedItemType>Lookup</selectedItemType>
    <ItemNumber>TF-002</ItemNumber>
    <Barcode />
    <DisplaySerialNumber />
    <SerialNumber />
    <DisplayLotNumber />
    <LotNumber />
    <DisplayExpirationDate />
    <ExpirationDate />
    <Quantity>1</Quantity>
    <UoM>PCS</UoM>
    <DisplayLine1>TF-002</DisplayLine1>
    <DisplayLine2>Intense Orange</DisplayLine2>
    <DisplayLine3 />
    <DisplayLine4>UoM PCS</DisplayLine4>
    <DisplayLine5 />
    <ExtraInfo1 />
    <ExtraInfo2 />
    <ExtraInfo3 />
    <RegistrationType>MyLookupResultAction</RegistrationType>
  </requestData>
</request>

Step 3: Add code to handle action in NAV

  • The call goes into codeunt “TF Mobile WMS Adhoc Registr.” 
  • Function “PostAdhocRegistration()”
  • Modify the code to handle this new Registration Type.
