Configuring Lot Number

A common profile switch determines whether a user can override an un-validated lot number and enter them in the case form.

Select System Configuration > System Management to view the Common Profile Configuration screen.

To view the list of field names, go to Case Processing > Lot Number Processing in the left panel. The field names associated with the Lot Number appear in the right panel.

The following table lists and describes the fields available under Lot Number Processing:

Lot Number Web Service Configuration XML File	Enables you to select and/or edit (if required) the Lot Number Web Service Configuration XML File. The file path textbox is a read-only field, which displays the path of the uploaded file. This field stores the configuration of the Centralized Lot Number Web Service in XML format. The Edit button is enabled only after the XML file has been successfully uploaded.
Lot Number Web Service XSLT	Enables you to select and/or edit (if required) the Lot Number Web Service XSLT File. This field stores the XSLT associated with the Centralized Lot Number Web Service.

Yes is the default. This enables the user to select the options for the Lot Number Validation as current functionality This message box displays the following message:

• The system hides the Keep button.

  A common profile switch determines whether lot validation uses Oracle Argus Safety or a centralized lot validation.

  • No (default): This enables the user to select the options for the Lot Number Validation as current functionality from within the Oracle Argus Safety Product Families Lot Numbers.
  • Yes: This enables the system to query outside the Oracle Argus Safety system through a web service return the following parameters for Lot Number Validation
    • Oracle Argus Safety sends the user-entered lot number to central system for validation/look-up and retrieves a response to act on.
    • The message format for the retrieved lot is as follows:

      <Lots>
      <Lot>
      <Lot Number>: Lot number
      <Expiration>: Lot expiration date
      <Custom name=name metadata=text>: Custom data to a lot number

• If more than one lot number is returned, the system displays a lot selection dialog.

The Custom Node

• The metadata attribute is as labels in the selection dialog that displays the data. The name attribute is used to identify the case form field to be populated with the data in the node.
• Clients can use an XSLT document to map the custom data to case fields present on the active case form page.

If an error occurs during the web service transaction, a message box will appear with the proper error message.
