14 Manage Customer Equipment Mobile Applications

This chapter discusses these topics:


Important Note:

Before you use the mobile applications, Oracle strongly recommends that you have a complete understanding of how to use the associated processes and applications in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne base software.

For additional information about the processes and applications associated with the mobile applications discussed in this chapter, see:


14.1 Manage Customer Equipment Mobile Applications Overview

The Manage Customer Equipment mobile applications for tablet and smartphone enable you to search for equipment details as a subset of the equipment master information and to add notes. The Manage Customer Equipment applications enable you to see the key equipment information. Examples are:

  • Equipment details

  • Description

  • Site Number

  • Acquired and In Service dates

  • Status

In the mobile applications for Manage Customer Equipment, you can view detailed information, and also update the data in the Equipment Status and Site Number fields. The device updates the equipment status in the Asset Master File (F1201) and Status History File (F1307) tables, and the site number in the F1201 and Equipment Master Location History (F1731) tables.

You can use the Manage Customer Equipment mobile applications to search for equipment that is in proximity to your location or to a reference point. The system displays an interactive map indicating the location of all the equipment within the radius that you specify. You can drill down further to view the details of a piece of equipment.

This table lists the applications that are available to review and update equipment details:

  • JD Edwards Manage Customer Equipment

Smartphone application Manage Customer Equipment (M17061)

To download the smartphone application to your smartphone device, search on the following text in the application store:

  • JD Edwards Manage Customer Equipment


14.1.1 Differences and Limitations: Equipment Search Results

Mobile applications are intended to be a simplified version of the applications that are available in the base software. In most cases, these applications provide a subset of the functionality available in the base software.

Adding New Notes

When you work with notes for customer equipment, the Manage Customer Equipment mobile application uses the existing text attachments that are read-only. If you add any text to the existing notes, the device appends the new text to the existing text attachments for notes. You cannot change the already existing notes for any equipment.

Searching Equipment Based on Proximity (Release 9.1 Update)

To search for equipment within a specific proximity to your location or another reference point, you use the Location Services functionality available in the Manage Customer Equipment mobile applications.

You can search for equipment based on their proximity to your current location, a specific street address, or a specific equipment's location. You can also specify a specific number of miles or kilometers as the radius for the search. The search is done based upon the coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the reference location and those of your equipment. In order to use your current location as the reference point, you must allow the application to access your location on your device.

Barcode Scanning (Release 9.1 Update)

The Manage Customer Equipment tablet application (M17060) and the Manage Customer Equipment smartphone application (M17061) are designed to scan data from a barcode and populate the equipment number in the Equipment Number field. To scan barcode data, you can use the native camera on your device or a third-party handheld Bluetooth-enabled scanning device. To use this functionality, you must create barcodes that represent a single field in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system. This application does not accept barcodes that consist of data for multiple fields.

You can generate barcodes using services such as those offered by Barcodes Inc.


Note:

Oracle is not affiliated with Barcodes, Inc. and does not require or recommend that you use this service to create your barcodes.

14.2 Setting Up the Manage Customer Equipment Mobile Application

Before you use the Manage Customer Equipment application, you must set the processing options for the application. If the processing options for the mobile applications are not set to determine which version to use for the Work With Equipment Master program (P1701), then the Equipment mobile applications for tablet and smartphone use the ZJDE0001 version of the Work With Equipment Master program.

To locate equipment in your proximity using the mobile applications, you must specify the latitude and longitude of each piece of equipment in the Work With Equipment Master program (P1701).


Note:

If you want the system to auto-populate the Latitude and Longitude fields in the Work With Equipment Master program (P1701), you use the pre-built JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Update Equipment Location Internet of Things (IoT) orchestration.

See Update Equipment Location in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Business Interfaces Implementation Guide


(Release 9.1 Update) End users of mobile applications can also set up user preferences to search for equipment within a user-defined proximity. These preferences enable users to show or hide equipment within a specific proximity to your location or another reference point.

(Release 9.1 Update) You can use one of the following options to scan barcodes of equipment number:

  • Disable the Bluetooth option in the settings on your device if you want to use the native device camera to scan the barcodes of equipment number.

  • Enable the Bluetooth option if you want to use a Bluetooth-enabled scanning device to scan the barcodes of equipment number.

To scan barcodes using the Bluetooth scanning device, you must configure the scanning device to the mobile device.
