Extending WHS – Adding a new custom work type

Custom work types allow you easily to implement simple confirmation steps in any flow. To create new custom work type follow these steps:

1. Create a new class implementing the WhsIWorkTypeCustomProcessor interface
2. Decorate your class with the WhsWorkTypeCustomProcessorFactoryAttribute using the name for the custom work type as parameter.

   Naming considerations for the work type name:

   – The name can be any string – prefix it with your organization's name to avoid clashes.

   – Define it in a class as a public static const property – this allows reuse.

3. Register the custom work type in Warehouse management | Setup | Work | Custom work types
