Example: Lot number validation
Step 1: Modify the application.cfg
Add the "<validation>" tag.
</service> <service id="Pick" type="Order" orderType="Pick"> <validation> <lotNumberValidation online="true"/> </validation> <requests> .. </requests> </service>
Optional : Setting Serial Number Validation Level
Add the following <Validation> tag to a service.
<service id="Receive" type="Order" orderType="Receive"> <requests> <getOrders>GetReceiveOrders</getOrders> <getOrderLines>GetReceiveOrderLines</getOrderLines> <postOrder>PostReceiveOrder</postOrder> </requests><validation> <serialNumberValidation validationLevel="Line"/> </validation>/service>
- Item: The same serial number can only be registered once per item, but multiple times across items.
- Line: A serial number can only be registered once per order line, but multiple times per order.
- Order (default): A serial number can only be registered once per order
Step 2: Add Mobile Document Type

Supported validations
<validation> <lotNumber enabled="true" requestDocumentName="ValidateLotNumber"/> <serialNumber enabled="true" requestDocumentName="ValidateSerialNumber"/> <quantity enabled="true" requestDocumentName="ValidateQuantity"/> <toBin enabled="true" requestDocumentName="ValidateToBin"/> <fromBin enabled="true" requestDocumentName="ValidateFromBin"/> <tote enabled="true" requestDocumentName="ValidateTote"/> </validation>
Lot number validation
The code snippet below shows how to enable online lot number validation.
Step 1: Modify the app.config file
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.taskletfactory.com/MDMF/MobileWMS/Services/2009/01/ServiceConfiguration.xsd"> <ServiceType>Pick</ServiceType> ... <validation> <lotNumber enabled="true" requestDocumentName="ValidateLotNumber"/> </validation> </configuration>
Changing the request document name
By default the application will call the document ValidateLotNumber
in the ERP system. It is, however, possible to override the name if another document handler should be invoked.
Overriding the Document Name of the Request
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.taskletfactory.com/MDMF/MobileWMS/Services/2009/01/ServiceConfiguration.xsd"> <ServiceType>Pick</ServiceType> ... <validation> <lotNumber> <!-- It is possible to override the name of the document the application will call in the ERP system. By ommision it will default to the value 'ValidateLotNumber'. --> <online enabled="true" requestDocumentName="ValidateLotNumberExtended"/> </lotNumber> </validation> </configuration>
Setting Serial Number Validation Level
It is possible to tweak how restrictive the application is when it comes to validating serial numbers.
<ServiceType>Pick</ServiceType> <validation> <serialNumber mode="ORDER" /> </validation>
- Item: The same serial number can only be registered once per item, but multiple times across items.
- Line: A serial number can only be registered once per order line, but multiple times per order.
- Order (default): A serial number can only be registered once per order
Step 2: Add Mobile Document Type
Make sure a document type exists and points to a Processing Codeunit.
