Create PDA – Kinder Surprise

Kinder Surprise, (or Kinder Egg’s that is also called) is something that most kids loves. Why ? It contains 3 positive elements, and that are (normally) a surprise, chocolate and a toy.

I wanted to create a Kinder Egg function on the PDA, that simplifies 3 tasks into one task. The tasks of my choice was:

1. Set the default issue/receipt warehouse location for an item,

2. Move all on hand of this item into the new location.

3. Adjust/count the new location.

So I created the following PDA screen:

Here the PDA asks for an item barcode, and then the user can scan the new default location, and select if the system should move ALL on-hand to the new location. After the movement has been done, then the PDA will adjust the final quantity in this location. In the background the PDA used standard AX journals.

For smaller companies this truly save time. Just imagine the time you would have to spend to do this using the item warehouse setup, transfer journal and counting journal.

That is Kinder Egg
