Configurations

To configure the Receive screen to meet the above requirement:

Procedure

  1. From the Menu page, select Receipt and press Enter.
  2. In the Receive screen, select Purchase Order as document type and press Enter.
  3. Press F1 to identify the Resource ID ("rfreceive") and Form Name ("frmReceiveIntoLocation").
  4. From the <INSTALL_DIR>/repository/xapi/template/merged/mobilescreens/rfreceive folder, identify the form by selecting the frmReceiveIntoLocation.html file.
  5. Identify the field you want to override ("txtLocationId").
  6. Use the override XML file located in the <INSTALL_DIR>/repository/xapi/template/merged/mobilescreens/overrides folder and write an element in the following format:
    <MobileConsoleOverride> 
     <ResourceOverrides> 
        <ResourceOverride ResourceId="rfreceive" > 
           <FormOverrides> 
              <FormOverride Name="frmReceiveIntoLocation"> 
                 <Fields> 
                    <Field Name="txtLocationId"                 
                     defaultvalue="DOCK-LOCATION" validate="always"/> 
                 </Fields> 
              </FormOverride> 
           </FormOverrides> 
        </ResourceOverride> 
     </ResourceOverrides> 
    </MobileConsoleOverride>

    With this configuration, the location defaults in the Receive screen.
