Improved REST APIs to Track Warehouse Activities

If WFM is enabled in your environment, any operation performed using WMS handheld transactions is written to WMS Activity view and subsequently interfaced to WFM, enabling you to analyse user productivity through productivity reports in WFM.  In Release 24D, user activity tracking has also been extended through some of the WMS REST APIs.

To capture user activity information, we have introduced three new parameters in the these APIs:

  • Screen_name: Name of the application or screen in the external system that was used by the user to perform warehouse operation.
  • Begin_ts: Time at which the user started the operation.
  • End_ts: Time at which the user completed the operation.

Following are the WMS REST APIs that writes to WMS Activities tracked:

Tips And Considerations

The facility parameter WRITE_WMS_ACTIVITY_RECORDS must be enabled for APIs to capture the information and write to WMS Activity Track.
