Steps

Step 1: Workflow changes

ARTICLE_ARRIVED Ruleset In the “ARTICLE_ARRIVED” ruleset the rules AddStorageArea and AddEventAttributesToEntity rules need to be added as well as the user actions need to be configured.

1{
2 "name": "ARTICLE_ARRIVED",
3 "description": "ArticleReadyForCollection after executing this ruleset",
4 "type": "ARTICLE",
5 "subtype": "DEFAULT",
6 "eventType": "NORMAL",
7 "rules": [
8  {
9   "name": "FLUENTRETAIL.base.AddStorageArea",
10   "props": null
11  },
12  {
13   "name": "FLUENTRETAIL.base.ChangeStateGQL",
14   "props": {
15    "status": "AWAITING_COLLECTION"
16   }
17  },
18  {
19   "name": "FLUENTRETAIL.base.AddEventAttributesToEntity",
20   "props": {
21    "attributeNames": [
22     {
23      "name": "storageAreaRef",
24      "type": "STRING"
25     }
26    ]
27   }
28  },
29  {
30   "name": "FLUENTRETAIL.base.SendEventForFulfilment",
31   "props": {
32    "eventName": "ArticleAwaitingCollection"
33   }
34  }
35 ],
36 "triggers": [
37  {
38   "status": "AWAITING_ARRIVAL"
39  }
40 ],
41 "userActions": [
42  {
43   "eventName": "ARTICLE_ARRIVED",
44   "context": [
45    {
46     "label": "SCAN TO STORAGE AREA",
47     "type": "PRIMARY",
48     "modules": [
49      "servicepoint"
50     ],
51     "confirm": true
52    }
53   ],
54   "attributes": [
55    {
56     "name": "storageAreaRef",
57     "label": "Storage Area",
58     "type": "STRING",
59     "source": "storageAreaRef",
60     "mandatory": true
61    }
62   ]
63  },
64  {
65   "context": [
66    {
67     "label": "Mark As Arrived",
68     "type": "SECONDARY",
69     "modules": [
70      "adminconsole"
71     ],
72     "confirm": true
73    }
74   ],
75   "attributes": [
76    {
77     "name": "storageAreaRef",
78     "label": "Storage Area",
79     "type": "STRING",
80     "source": "storageAreaRef",
81     "mandatory": true
82    }
83   ]
84  }
85 ]
86}

ARTICLE_COLLECTED Ruleset Add the the DeleteFromStorageArea rule to remove the article from the storage area.

1{
2  "name": "ARTICLE_COLLECTED",
3  "description": "Article State Change Awaiting_Collection to Collected",
4  "type": "ARTICLE",
5  "subtype": "DEFAULT",
6  "eventType": "NORMAL",
7  "rules": [
8    {
9      "name": "FLUENTRETAIL.base.ChangeStateGQL",
10      "props": {
11        "status": "COLLECTED"
12      }
13    },
14    {
15      "name": "FLUENTRETAIL.base.DeleteFromStorageArea",
16      "props": null
17    },
18    {
19      "name": "FLUENTRETAIL.base.SendEventForFulfilment",
20      "props": {
21        "eventName": "ArticleCollected"
22      }
23    }
24  ],
25  "triggers": [
26    {
27      "status": "AWAITING_COLLECTION"
28    }
29  ],
30  "userActions": [
31    {
32      "eventName": "ARTICLE_COLLECTED",
33      "context": [
34        {
35          "label": "COLLECT",
36          "type": "PRIMARY",
37          "modules": [
38            "servicepoint"
39          ],
40          "confirm": false
41        }
42      ],
43      "attributes": []
44    }
45  ]
46}

Step 2: Create Storage Areas

For the storage areas to show up in Service Point they need to be created and assigned to a location.

1mutation{
2  createStorageArea(input:{ref:"C1" location:{id:<locationId>} type:"CONSOLIDATION" }) {
3    id
4  }
5}

1mutation{
2  updateStorageArea(input:{id:<storageAreaId> status:"ENABLED"}){
3    id
4  }
5}

Step 3: Service Point After the workflow changes have been done and the storage areas have been created articles in the “Arrivals” screen can be scanned into storage areas.
