Ability to Map WMS Screens from Work Area Activity View
Before 24B, the WMS Transaction view was used in WFM to map WMS Screens to WFM Work Area Activities. This configuration was required to ensure that WMS activity data could interface seamlessly from WMS to WFM. To minimize steering across different screens and simplify the task of configuration, you can now directly map the WMS screens in the Work Area Activity View in WFM thereby, deprecating the WMS Transaction View.
Deprecating the WMS Transaction View
As part of the deprecation process, we have suffixed the description of the module WmsTransactionView (Products = wfm) with _OBSOLETE as a warning and disabled the create, copy, edit, and delete buttons on the screens. However, if you create a new screen, _OBSOLETE will not be added automatically and CRUD operations are not disabled.
WMS Transaction View
NOTE: For customers using WFM, data is automatically created in the Work Area Activity View based on the data in WMS Transaction, and existing data in WMS Activity Track and Daily Activity Track refers to Work Area Activity instead of WMS Transaction.
Enhanced Work Area Activity (WAA) view
The Work Area Activities (WAA) view is enhanced to map WMS Screens by introducing an action button "WMS Screens" on the Work Area Activity view. This button is enabled only on selecting a single record with Work Area Activity Type as "System". This button allows you to associate WMS Screens with the selected Activity.
WMS Activity Track
The WMS Activity Track view is enhanced with a new column “WMS Screen” and is mapped to the WMS screens child view of the Work Area Activity view. As the WMS Transaction is deprecated, the column has been removed from the WMS Activity Track view, and the "Unknown Transaction" column is renamed to "Unmapped WMS Screen.
NOTE: In the GET verb response for WMS Activity Track, the object for WMS Screen points to the work_area_activity child view and the reference to wms_transaction_id has been removed.
Daily Activity Track
The Daily Activity Track view is enhanced with a new column “WMS Screen” and is mapped to the WMS screens child view of the Work Area Activity view. As the WMS Transaction is deprecated, the column has been removed from the Daily Activity Track view.
NOTE: In the GET verb response for Daily Activity Track, the object for WMS Screen points to work_area_activity child view and the reference to wms_transaction_id has been removed.
Enhancement in WMS WFM Interface
The WMS WFM Interface is enhanced to look for the “WMS Screens” configured in the Work Area Activity child view instead of “WMS Transaction”. The data that is fetched via WMS Activity is moved to WMS Activity Track and then Daily Activity Track.
NOTE: On inserting records in the WMS Activity Track and Daily Activity Track, the reference of the WMS Screen Name now points to the WMS Screen configured in the Work Area Activity view.
Enhancement in Productivity and User Productivity Report
The Productivity and User Productivity Reports now refer to “WMS Screen” from the Work Area Activity child view instead of WMS Transaction for productivity calculations
Enhance Auto CICO for Work Area
When the Auto CICO feature is enabled, the system is now enhanced to use the WMS screen configured in the Work Area Activity child view to determine the appropriate Work Area in WFM.
