System Setup / Plugin Customization / Plugin Configuration [SET062] .
This plugin is used for importing Tracking ID allocation data from within the LCT Receipt Application in DATASCOPE WMS. Typically for LCT Shipments the Tracking ID allocation information is available in an electronic format.
Typically, this process of allocating tracking IDs is very time-consuming due to the volume of stock. This plugin allows for the injection of logic in a plugin to run a program or some process to perform the Tracking ID allocation.
A simple example, included as a sample below is to allow the operator to import an Excel sheet, containing the Tracking ID allocation information. This is then imported into the system using a Business Object call to WMS within the plugin. Once imported the screen is refreshed and the allocations are visible to the operator to review and finalize the LCT
The popup window is shown below where the operator can perform the import.
