Maximo Mobile for EAM/MAS - Enhance value format of Barcode Scan

  • 1.  Maximo Mobile for EAM/MAS - Enhance value format of Barcode Scan

    Posted Thu June 06, 2024 09:24 AM

    Hi,

    We are now evaluating the new Maximo Mobile 8.11, mainly for using Inventory functionalities.

    In the Count Books application, is it possible to manipulate the scanner button
    to scan a more complex value format instead of just the item number?

    For example items in storeroom are QR coded and labeled as follows <itemnum>_<Storeroom>_<binnum>_<conditioncode> (e.g. 11430_main_11A_NEW).
    So when counting items, the scanning will be able to map the scanned label to the exact item in the relevant storeroom/bin/condcode combination.

    Hi Jacob,

    Is your QRCode encoding the values <itemnum>_<Storeroom>_<binnum>_<conditioncode>? If so, you can try creating a new function on AppCustomizations.js to handle the reading of your QRCode.

    On your app.xml, you can search for the field and change the on-scan property-something like below.

    <barcode-button on-scan="myHandleBarcodeScan" timeout="30" label="ScanBarcode"/>

    On your JS file, you use.

    async myHandleBarcodeScan(event) {
    
        let values = event.value.split("_");
        //values[0] -> itemnum
        //values[1] -> storeroom
       // etc
       // Then, you can use the values to search on your datasource.
       let ds = this.app.getDatasource('DSNAME');
       ds.initializeQbe();
       ds.setQBE('itemnum', '=', values[0]);
       ds.setQBE('storeroom', '=', values[1]);
       // etc
       await ds.searchQBE();
    }
