This article requires Mobile WMS Extension version 5.16 or later.
Description
Modify collected steps before a Label-template is printed.
- You are not happy with the steps being collected as default by a template handler.
- Or you have created a custom Template and want to add some steps to collect information used on the printed label.
This approach works for all templates, standard or custom.
Add a Step and remove a Step
In the following example we will be:
- Making sure we are only handling our own template.
- Adding an Information Step
- Removing an unwanted step
Using the event OnLookupOnPrintLabel_OnAddStepsForTemplate
[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB Print", 'OnLookupOnPrintLabel_OnAddStepsForTemplate', '', true, true)]
local procedure MyOnLookupOnPrintLabel_OnAddStepsForTemplate(_TemplateName: Text[50]; var _Steps: Record "MOB Steps Element"; var _Dataset: Record "MOB Common Element")
var
Item: Record Item;
begin
// Make sure we only handle our own Label-Template
if _TemplateName <> 'MyItemLabel' then
exit;
// Check if Item No. is already collected/transferred to Dataset
if Item.Get(_Dataset.GetValue('ItemNumber')) then
// Add an information step using the Item no.
_Steps.Create_InformationStep(10, 'InfoStep', 'Information', '', 'You are printing with Item:' + Item."No.");
// Delete the unwanted Quantity-step
_Steps.SetRange(name, 'QuantityPerLabel');
if _Steps.FindFirst() then
_Steps.Set_visible(false);
_Steps.SetRange(name); // Reset the filter so the next event is not affected by you
end;
