Plugins are code components that add capabilities to an existing program without impacting that program’s core code. Therefore, plugins within the DATASCOPE WMS software encapsulate custom logic. (Encapsulation refers to the bundling of data and/or limiting of direct access to some of that data.)

On a high level, plugins can be used with the following requirements.
Receiving - Imports of data (e.g., LCTs) and Scales configuration
Sales Orders and Jobs - Custom Auto Reservation Rules (rules around what stock must be picked from where) (for more information, refer to the Advanced section/video)
Checkout – Scales configuration
Transport Management System – highly customizable module
Task Management System – highly customizable module, both from plugin and scripting perspective.
It is used where key parts of the system, typically, integrate with 3rd party systems or pieces of logic that require some custom development.
A full list of all our plugins is available. For more information, refer to Custom Plugins Interfaces and Types.
