Enabling Extended Pick Processing
You can enable Extended Pick processing in two ways:
- Configuration file parameter
The configuration file parameter applies globally throughout the application. When enabled, every handheld pick transaction is subject to pick processing. The parameter is set as follows:
DefaultHandheldSyncPickMode=Mode
Table 14 describes the settings for this parameter.
- Business component user property
The user property is defined on specific business components. The syntax for setting Extended Pick on a business component and the parameter values (Table 15) follow:
HandheldSyncPickMode=Fieldname|Mode
You may apply Extended Pick processing to multiple fields in a single business component, using the following syntax:
HandheldSyncPickMode=Fieldname1|Mode1, Fieldname2|Mode2
The setting on the business component takes precedence over the setting in the configuration file. For example, you can use the business component setting to nullify the global application of Extended Pick in the configuration file. See Recommended Extended Pick Processing Settings for an example. Conversely, you can enable Extended Pick processing on specific business components if the configuration file setting has disabled the functionality.
Table 16 shows the combined effect of the settings in the configuration file and on a business component.
- The business component setting always takes precedence over the setting in the configuration file.
- If there is no setting on a particular business component, the configuration file setting applies.
- If there is no setting in either the configuration file or on the business component, the default behavior is for Extended Pick to be turned OFF.
Recommended Extended Pick Processing Settings
It is recommended that you use the Extended Pick processing settings in the following way:
- By default, Extended Pick processing is globally turned off.
- Activate Extended Pick processing on the following fields for critical business components:
- Order Entry- Line Items. Product|NoFail
- FS Invoice Payments. Payment Num|NoFail
- FS Invoice. Account Name|NoFail, Order Number|NoFail
- Retail Audit Product. Product Name|NoFail
- Cycle Counting. Inventory Location Name|NoFail
- Cycle Counting Execution. Product|NoFail
- CPG Store Conditions in Retail Audit. Product Name|NoFail
- CPG Account Merchandising Product. Product Name|NoFail
- Asset Mgmt - Asset. Product Name|NoFail
- CG FS Activity Parts Movement. Product Name |NoFail
The eConsumer Goods Handheld application is shipped with these recommended settings.
NOTE: When Extended Pick processing is enabled, any update conflicts that occur for that pick field are resolved using the "Client Wins" conflict resolution directive. For fields that do not have Extended Pick processing enabled or that are not pick fields, this does not apply. Please make a note of this behavior when using this feature.
