This chapter discusses these topics:


Important Note:

Before using the mobile applications, Oracle strongly recommends that users 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:


49.1 Search Sales Order Mobile Applications Overview

You use the Search Sales Order mobile applications to search for and review sales order information, and add notes associated with the sales order.

The Search Sales Order mobile applications enable you to:

  • Search for sales orders by using filtered criteria.

  • Review sales order information including customer information, delivery instructions, sales order status, quantity ordered, unit of measure, date information, and price information.

  • Review payment terms and currency information, such as foreign and base currency, and currency exchange rates when applicable.

  • Review the address and location details of the delivery location, and use the device's map and navigational features to locate the delivery site.

This table lists the applications that are available to review sales order information:

Type of Application Additional Information
Base EnterpriseOne application To add, review, and update sales order information, use the Sales Order Entry program (P42101) in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system.
Tablet application Search Sales Order (M42060)

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

  • JD Edwards Order Search

Smartphone application Search Sales Order (M42061)

  • JD Edwards Order Search


Before using the Search Sales Order tablet or smartphone application, set the processing options for the Search Sales Order tablet application (M42060) and the Search Sales Order smartphone application (M42061). You set the processing options to specify whether to allow alternate language search and to specify the versions that the mobile application uses for Sale Order Entry programs (P4210) and (P42101).

49.1.1 Differences and Limitations: Search Sales Order

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.

Barcode Scanning (Release 9.1 Update)

The Search Sales Order tablet and smartphone applications (M42060 and M42061) are designed to scan data from a barcode and populate the item number in the Item 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. These applications 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.

Language Support

Additionally, you should be aware of how a user's language preference can affect the search functionality for business unit and branch/plant records. See Section 1.2.2.1, "Language Support for Business Unit and Branch Plant Searches"

49.2 Setting Up the Search Sales Order Mobile Applications

Before you can use the Search Sales Order mobile applications on a mobile tablet device, you: must

  • Set processing options for the Search Sales Order mobile applications (M42060 and M42061).

    The system administrator must set the processing options for these mobile applications before the applications are made available to end users.

    See "Setting Up Processing Options for Sales Order Entry (P4210)" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Sales Order Management Implementation Guide

  • (Release 9.1 Update) Set the Bluetooth option in your device's settings to disable Bluetooth if you want to use the native device camera to scan barcodes of item number. Enable the Bluetooth option if you want to use a Bluetooth-enabled scanning device to scan the barcodes. To scan barcodes using a Bluetooth scanning device, you must configure the scanning device on the mobile device.
