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.

Users

Users who are enabled to use Power WMS must be entered in the appropriate table. Each user must be defined in Business Central employees and have a linked resource.

The user card contains the following fields:

For each activities, you can also define the fields that are displayed. In the activity card, there are three actions that allow to define the list of fields.

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.
