Setup
PowerWMS Setup contains the fields needed to start using the app. Many of the fields in the setup are then used as default for WMS users and the tasks they can perform. The init setup action automatically populates the setup data, allowing the application to start quickly.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| Language code | Default language code for Power WMS. Used as default when entering a user. |
| Theme name | Default theme name. Used as default when entering a user. |
| OmniSearch | If enabled, Power WMS starts with the universal search page. Used as default when entering a user. |
| Activity Number Sequence | Specifies the Number Sequence used for the “Activity No.” field in Activity Entries. The field is mandatory and cannot be manually edited, it is set automatically with the Init setup or Init Number Sequence action. |
| Activity Execution Mode | Allows you to define the default mode in which operations are performed. Specifies how the activity will be executed. Values are: Asynchronous: The activity will be executed as background task; Synchronous: The activity will be executed in foreground; Scheduled: The activity will be executed at a scheduled time. The execution mode can then be defined differently in each individual task associated with users. |
| Scan Mode | Default setting for Scan Mode. The allowed values are Line: barcodes are requested for each individual line of the document, Group: Barcodes are requested for grouping of item / variant / Unit of measure / location / bin, Fast: barcodes are requested on the entire document and grouped for item / variant / Unit of measure / location / bin.

List Fields 1 contains the fields displayed in the document lists.
Detail Fields 1 contains the fields displayed in the header detail of the individual document.
Detail Fields 2 contains the fields that are displayed in the detail of the individual document line.
Scanner Setup
A configuration table called Scanner Setup is provided, which allows you to define the various methods of managing the “barcodes” to be requested from the operator during the activity declaration phase. The types are Linear, Sequential, Positional, Different Separators, Custom.
Linear allows you to select the elements that make up the single barcode in addition to the separator character. For example, by selecting Item ID, Tracking, and Quantity with separator character | The Power App will accept barcodes of this format ITEM001|LOT001|10.
Sequential allows you to define what information should be requested from the operator and in what order. In the specific example, the operator will be asked for 3 barcodes: the first contains the item identifier, the second the traceability code and the third the quantity.
One of the components of the barcode is the Item ID field. By Item ID we mean not only the item code but the set of its references:
Positional which provides for a single barcode and the elements are identified by defining their sequence and maximum length.
Different Separator similar to linear but with the ability to define different types of identifiers/separators and their position (e.g. it can be used for ENA128). N.B. Replace Instance is used to indicate whether it should break at the first or last occurrence of the separator found in the string.
Custom managed via custom in Business Central. Sample source code available on EOS Sample. You must extend enum EOS089 WMS Barcode Type and implement interface EOS089 WMS Custom Barcode Int.

The page contains translations of all the elements of the Power App.
Activity Actions
The page allows you to enter a series of custom Actions for each of the activities managed in the Power App. The actions are then displayed in the appropriate section of the activity in Power WMS. In Business Central, there are events that you can subscribe to in order to create the feature (via AL code). Manage actions with a subscription to OnExecuteActivityAction event in codeunit 18060020 EOS089 WMS Activity Task Mgmt.
Scanner Reference
Scanner Reference
The page allows to enter different setup scanner codes according to different types of activities and references. In the example you can see how for purchase receipt you can diversify the scanner setup code for different vendors.
Activity Entries
Activity Enrties
The activity entries page contains the information of all the operations performed by the operators with the Power App. It is very important to analyze the operations, especially in the event of an error. It allows you to view the information transmitted from the power app to Business Central with all the details of the scans, the outcome of the operation and the execution times.
