Aptean Mobile Warehouse Registration Activity

If the user opens the Production activity by clicking the icon on the Aptean Mobile Warehouse Registration home screen, the application will initially present a list of released production orders to which that user’s ID has been assigned.

The user can select the desired document and click the OK button. The Production page is opened with the relevant document assigned.

This list of user-assigned production orders is only displayed when the activity is launched through clicking the icon on the home screen. If the Production activity is launched through the Action menu or via a quick scan, the application will immediately begin with the Production page. If the entered production order was not previously assigned to the user, its assigned user ID will be automatically updated by the program.

The user may change the currently-assigned production order to a different order by manually entering or scanning the order number in the Prod. Order No. field, then physically pressing the Enter button on the handheld device.

Additional information about the production order can be obtained on the Details tab.

The top portion of this screen presents any fields from the production order header that were assigned to the relevant mobile profile in the Mobile Profile Pages page. This can provide insight into values such as the output item quantity, description, and any related sales order information. The lower area displays the production order’s lines. In addition to identifying the item that is assigned to each line, information such as the remaining quantity awaiting production and any finished production output is included, as well.

You can also review the bill of materials from which the production order was generated by clicking the BOM tab.

This screen presents the production order’s components. Information such as the quantity of each component that remains to be consumed and has already been consumed in the production activity is included, as well.

The Production page is initially set to record output, with the application instructing the user as to what output information should be recorded in the Identifier field.

In addition, information about the remaining and finished output quantities of the item are displayed on the page.

To record production output

1. In the Identifier field, enter or scan the required item number.

   

You can view information about the currently-entered item by clicking the Item Info. (F6) button on the screen or physically pressing the F6 button on the handheld device. The Item Information page will open for the relevant item.

2. If an item is lot tracked, you must also specify the lot number of the item that will be outputted. Depending on how the activity has been set up, a lot number that has already been assigned to the production order line in Business Central may be automatically entered when the item number is specified. When the item number (and lot number, if applicable) is entered, information about the item is displayed in the area beneath the Identifier field.

   

3. In the To Output field, specify the output quantity of the item.

4. Click the Output (F11) button on the screen or physically press either the Enter or F11 button on the handheld device.

The entered quantity is automatically outputted. If bin control is used within the location, the quantity is outputted to the location’s defined To-Production bin.

If necessary, repeat the previous steps to output additional items. Although a production order typically has a single output item, it may still be necessary to perform multiple output postings.

When you have finished specifying output activity, you can record consumption against the production order. Click the Toggle option in the lower area of the screen to switch between phases.

The processing routine of recording consumption is identical to recording output.

To create License Plate during production output

You can create a License Plate during production output on the Aptean Mobile Warehouse Registration app and before the activity on Business Central.

1. Select the Production icon on the Aptean Mobile Warehouse Registration home screen.

2. In the Prod. Order No. field, enter or scan the released production order number.

3. In the Identifier field, enter or scan the Item Number.
   If the item in the production order line is License Plate tracked, the app notifies you to enter or scan the License Plate number.

4. In the Identifier field, scan the License Plate number.
   Alternatively, you can use the New License Plate (F2) function from the context menu to assign a new License Plate number if no pre-printed label exists. This number will be based on the number series selected in the License Plate Nos. field on the Number Series FastTab on the License Plating Setup page. This checks whether the combination assigned in the Item Default Packaging Configuration corresponds to the transaction line (item, variant).
   In this case, the Shipping Container Code is automatically entered as it is the default step.
   If the License Plate number is different from the number series set up in Business Central, the app notifies you to enter or scan the Shipping Container Code.
   You can fill this field manually if no shipping container code or multiple codes exist for the item.

   When the Aptean SSCC extension is installed and the Use SSCC Number Format toggle on the Item Tracking Code page in Business central is turned on, the system will generate the license plate number based on the following setup:

   • If the released production order is created from the sales order, the system checks for the Enable SSCC toggle value on the Customer SSCC Setup page and the license plate number is generated with the values provided in the fields on the SSCC FastTab. If the values are empty, it will consider the field values on the Company SSCC Setup page.

   • If the released production order is created manually, the license plate number is generated with the values provided in the fields on the SSCC FastTab of the Company SSCC Setup page.

5. In the Identifier field, enter or scan the Lot Number of the item.

6. In the To Output field, enter the quantity to handle.
   An Item Ledger Entry is created automatically in Business Central for the posted output. The License Plate is also created automatically with the Shipping Container Code entered or scanned on the mobile device.
   You can post more production output through the Output Journal line once the remaining quantity becomes zero.

7. Select the Production icon on the home screen of the mobile device to open the Production page.

8. Manually enter or scan the Released Production Order number in the Prod. Order No. field.

9. On the Identifier field, enter or scan the item number.

10. On the Identifier field, enter or scan the lot number

11. Enter the quantity of the output item in the To Output field.

12. Select the Search icon , enter Released Production Orders, and then choose the related link.
    The Released Production Orders list page opens.

13. Select the required No. to open the Release Production Order page.

14. On the action bar, select Home > Change Status.

15. On the New Status field, change the status from Released to Finished and Click Yes to complete the Production Order.

The Production order is completed and the remaining quantity becomes zero. You can scan more quantity when the remaining quantity become zero.

To scan GS1 Barcode during production output

You can create a License Plate Number for the posted production output by scanning the GS1 barcode.

1. Select the Production icon on the Aptean Mobile Warehouse Registration home screen.
2. In the Prod. Order No. field, enter or scan the released production order number.
3. Scan the GS1 barcode using the mobile device.
   For example,
   If the Item No. is 0011, and the scanned barcode is (00) 001234560000000018 (01) 00012345678905 (17) 240315 (37) 120 (11) 220614
   The system uses the application identifiers as mentioned in Parse GS1 barcode at receipt, and recognizes the Item No. based on the scanned barcode.
   The Shipping Container Code is automatically entered as this is the default step.
4. In the Identifier field, enter or scan Lot number of the item.
5. An Item Ledger Entry and License Plate Card is created for the posted output with the data from the scanned barcode.

A Lot No. Information Card is also created for the entered Lot No. with the Production Date field on the Lot Origin Details FastTab filled in with details from the scanned barcode.

To print label for new License Plate from production output

You can print a label for the new License Plate from the production output. You can choose whether the RDLC report must be printed, or a label must be printed from the Aptean Labeling extension in the Mobile Setup.
