Re: Wireless handheld devices used for Inventory transactions

Brenda,

What Release are you on?  We are on XAR6.

We do this for our RM, IP and IW transactions, using a Symbol handheld.  I 
have written some programs that populate the Offline Load file and feeds 
into IM Transaction processing.

For RM transactions they scan the M#, Qty, # of Cartons, FIFO date, 
Location and Qty.
For IP transactions they scan the M#, Location, Lot, FIFO and Qty.
For IW transactions they scan the Item#, Qty, From Lot, FIfO, From Whs, Fm 
Locn, To Whs and To Locn.  The program then creates the offsetting RW 
trans.

All of the screens were designed to fit in the top left corner of your 
typical green screen.  They fit perfect on the handhelds then.

Hope this helps, 

Nick

[MAPICS-L] Wireless handheld devices used for Inventory transactions










We are beginning to use wireless handheld devices (Symbol brand) for data
collection.
The screens are 16 rows by 20 characters wide. It doesn't allow the full
green screen
to be displayed in Inventory transactions - (option 1 on menu AMIM30).

We are considering writing a program to create an offline file for using
these devices.

Is anyone else using these or similar devices? And if so, how are you
handling the screen
size for Mapics applications?

Thanks,
