Container checker

Evening All,

I was wondering if anyone has experience of configuring container check on warehouse mode to work on the handheld scanners?

To clarify what i mean by container checker- The ability to Scan an LPN (pick or pallet), view the contents and scan the contents to confirm that they are correct? A report would need to be displayed at the end to verify 100% correct or display any variances to be checked.

My assumption would be that this would be possible but wanted to know if anyone has experience of implementing this with config.

Good morning, afternoon, or evening depending on your location!

Configuring a container checker in warehouse mode to work on handheld scanners is indeed possible, and it can be achieved by leveraging the capabilities of Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management -

Steps to Configure Container Checker:

Set Up Mobile Device Menu Items:
- Navigate to Warehouse Management > Setup > Mobile Device > Mobile Device Menu Items.
- Create a new menu item with the Mode set to Indirect for inquiries or Work for processing tasks.
- Select the appropriate Activity Code (e.g., License Plate Inquiry) to enable scanning and viewing container contents.
Enable License Plate Scanning:
- Ensure that the warehouse is configured for License Plate Control.
- Use the License Plate Inquiry activity to scan an LPN (License Plate Number) and display its contents.
Configure Work Confirmation:
- Set up Work Confirmation policies to require scanning of individual items within the container.
- This ensures that each item is verified against the expected contents.
Generate Variance Reports:
- Use Warehouse Management Reports to display discrepancies between scanned items and expected contents.
- Configure a custom report or dashboard to summarize variances for review.
Test on Handheld Scanners:
- Deploy the configuration to handheld devices and test the workflow.
- Ensure that the handheld scanners are properly connected to the system and can process the configured menu items.
Customize as Needed:
- If additional functionality is required, consider extending the system using custom code or integrations.
- For example, you can create a custom workflow to handle specific business requirements.
