Key Points
- Enabling scan to storage area is only possible on Fluent store (not on Service Point).
- This guide will take you through the setup and workflow changes required to enable the Storage Area Scanning feature in Fluent Store.
Steps
Before you Begin
To access the Scan to Storage Area feature, you must first be using Fluent Store. If you are still on Fluent ServicePoint, you can follow the steps here to Enable Fluent Store.
Step 1: Add Storage Areas to your Locations
Make sure you have added your Storage Area records to your Account.
You can do this either via the
`createStorageArea`Storage Areas should be associated to a specific Location.
Step 2: Enable the Storage Areas
Storage Areas should be in an
`ENABLED`Use the
`updateStorageArea`Step 3: Modify your Order workflow for Article Arrival
Locate the Ruleset which acknowledges Article Arrival and moves the Article from an "Awaiting Arrival" based state to the next state in your workflow.
Add the following Rules to the top of the Arrived Ruleset:
- [AddStorageArea][]
- [AddEventAttributesToEntity][]
The following table provides the configuration of each rule:
AddStorageArea
This rule does not require any parameters.
AddEventAttributesToEntity
This rule requires configuration via JSON (i.e. this rule is not currently configurable via the Modeller)
Property | Type | Value |
attributeNames | JSON Array | |
Step 4: Add or Update the Mark as Arrived User Action
A special [Field Component][] has been added to the UX Framework, which supports automatic detection of articles relating to existing Orders and Storage Areas.
To ensure the frontend renders this Field Component, the User Action type should be set to a custom type in the workflow.
Note: The user action attribute type will be used to specify the name of the UI component that is used to scan the storage area.
