Setup

The Production activity can be configured for a particular mobile profile by entering PRODUCTION in the Page field on the Mobile Profile Setup page.

• Output on Validate Qty.: Indicate whether production output will be automatically posted upon the entry of an output quantity.
• Verify Qty.: Indicate whether you want to require that users verify entered item quantities. If this option is enabled and the user enters an item quantity for a production activity, the application will require that the value be confirmed prior to posting. Please note that if the auto post output/consumption on validate quantity settings have been enabled, the application will automatically post output/consumption amounts upon data entry, and the verify quantity setting will be ignored.
• Consume on Validate Qty.: Indicate whether production consumption will be automatically posted upon the entry of a consumption quantity.
• Confirm Qty. if Different than Remaining: Indicate whether you want to require that users verify that entered item quantities are correct when they differ from the remaining quantity on the production order. For example, if we have a production order with a remaining quantity to output of 100 units, and we enter an output quantity of 90 units, the application will inform us of this discrepancy and ask us if the amount is correct.
• Auto Take Output: Indicate whether posted output will be automatically moved to the mobile user’s user-specific warehouse bin. When a mobile user performs warehouse movements in a bin-controlled environment, the program automatically creates a user-specific bin that is used to temporarily store items that the user is in the process of moving. If this option is enabled and the mobile user posts production output, the output quantity will be posted to the location’s defined To-Production bin, then automatically moved to the user’s user-specific bin. This is useful when the same user will be immediately performing additional movements on recorded production output. If this option is not enabled, posted production output will remain in the location’s defined To-Production bin.
• Auto Print Lot Tag on Output Post: You can print a lot label for the new License Plate from the production output. The label is printed automatically when the item ledger and warehouse entry are posted with output. You can choose if you want to print an RDLC report or the labels from the Aptean Labeling extension.

In addition, it is possible to indicate the specific fields from the Production Order table that will be included when the user views production order details by selecting the Profile Page Fields option.

The Mobile Profilepage presents the fields that will be displayed to users to whom the relevant mobile profile has been assigned. The fields are displayed according to the value in the Sort Order field. You can edit the values in this field to sequence the order in which the fields will be displayed.

On the Field Name field, you define the field that you want to display. Any field from the Production Order table can be entered here. No spaces or punctuation (such as periods that typically appear at the end of abbreviated words) may be used, but a character’s case must be correct. Please be aware that this is a text field, and all values must be entered manually. The profile setup that is included with the Aptean Mobile Warehouse Registration solution’s ‘Create Default Setup’ on the Mobile Setup page, has already been configured to include all necessary settings.

On the Field Label field, you can define the label that will be assigned to the field when it is displayed to mobile users.

You must specify the fields that will be accessible for every mobile profile that will utilize the Production activity. This allows for different types of information to be available to different profiles.
