Tasklet Mobile WMS integration

If you are using Tasklet Mobile WMS you can bridge that app together with Logtrade Connect by installing the app "Logtrade Connect - Tasklet Mobile WMS Integration". This app will create a consignment in the Pack & Ship process and send the consignment to Logtrade. This enables automatic printing of delivery labels initiated from handheld devices.

When the integration app is installed Mobile WMS will be updated with package types from Logtrade Connect.

Additional setup

If package stations are used it is possible to define a print queue on the package station. No additional setup is required.

Consignment Creation

When using a package type that is provided by Logtrade Connect, a consignment will be created and sent to Logtrade when the user click on "Post" in the handheld device.

Weight and volume registration/calculation

In Mobile WMS you can decide in the Package Type Setup if the user shall be prompted for weight and dimensions. If not, item data will be used for weight and/or volume. Since volume is based on length, height and width, you can inherit e.g. length and width from the package type and have the user only register the height in the handheld device which will calculate the volume.

Error handling

The consignment is sent to Logtrade TA after the warehouse shipment is posted. Since there are commits in the code that sends the consignment to Logtrade TA, we try to do as much validations as possible before the warehouse shipment is posted, otherwise the shipment would be posted but the consignment not created in case of an error when processing the consignment. These are the actions that are performed before the posting of the warehouse shipment:

  • Freight cost calculation and charge.
  • Rule based costs that update the sales order with costs to charge.
  • Package type based cost (e.g. pallet cost).
  • Validation of consignment data against Logtrade TA. TA does not validate against the carrier. It's a TA internal validation, meaning that errors can still occur when doing the real validation.

If any errors occur in the above, the shipment posting will be aborted. The user can then correct data in the handheld device (if the error is because of input in the handheld device) or in the Business Central client if the error is because of data not present in the handheld device (such as a missing phone number). When the data is corrected the user can post the shipping order again in Pack % Ship.

If an error occurs when the consignment is sent to Logtrade for printing the warehouse shipment will be posted and the consignment needs to be managed in the Business Central client.
