Work Area Activities

The three different activities that users could perform in a Work Area are WMS, Non-WMS, and Ad hoc activities. These are configured in WFM using the Work Area Activity view (module: WorkAreaActivityWFMView).

You could configure multiple activities in a work area. Activities need to be defined keeping in mind that goals are tied to individual activities as described in the Goals section.

In Release 26B, a new flag “Capture Quantity During Clock Out” has been included in the WFM Work Area Activity view for Non-WMS activities. If the flag is checked, WFM prompts employees to enter Handling Attributes for Non-WMS Activities in the RF User CICO mobile screen during Non-WMS clock out. If the flag is unchecked, employees are simply clocked out of Non-WMS activity without any additional prompts. Supervisors can update the values later through clock record, input interface or REST API.

Work Area activities can also be uploaded using the Work Area Activity interface as described in the section - Input Interfaces OR posted using Work Area Activity REST API as described in the section – REST APIs.

The WMS Screens action button on the Work Area Activity view can be used to map a WMS Work Area Activity with one or more WMS Screens. This button will be enabled only if a single activity of Type “WMS” is selected. When clicked on this action button brings the WMS Screens child view.
