If we were to add a button on the part screen in Kinetic to launch an external web page passing through the part as a parameter. Would it also be possible to add such a button to Epicor Mobile Warehouse ? Running Epicor base version 11.2.100.0.
I know in the past mobile warehouse has been pretty poor on the customization front, are there any improvements ?
Not without paying Biscit to do it.

I don’t think this helps your scenario at all, but they do have a way where you can add “custom fields” to certain screens without paying for development. It must be an interface with a database table behind it (so PO Receipt is one because it has RcvDtl behind it, but Issue Material is not one because there’s no db table).
You add these custom fields by creating a series of UD fields on the table of interest. You create 4 UD fields for each custom field you want to add. These 4 UD fields don’t store any data; they are just hooks for the app to key off of… They look like “EMW_column1_name”, “EMW_column1_label”, “…type”, etc. and the Initial Value field is where you store the pertinent information for the custom field…
I have used these custom fields as triggers to do things with BPMs. Again, doesn’t sound like they’d do much for your scenario, but they’ve been very useful for me.
That’s very useful to know, thank you.
Am I understanding this correctly, you have to create 4 columns for every 1 custom column in EKW?
Thank you for this!
Correct
Yes, it is but I hope I can get it working. I have a customer that needs the related operation for sorting when picking. MtlQueue table should work for this.
Once all the UD columns are created, the user will need to Regenerate the Data Model and recycle the application pool.
I got the field to work. I wasn’t able to see it in my material queue or material queue but was able to sort and filter on it.
Is there any way to add this to the material queue screens outside of a filter?
This is great info! As a consultant I don’t have a license to see biscit’s help documentation so Thank YOU!
Hi Jeremy,
Did you get this working? Adding the custom column on the handheld? I did create 4 columns and performed data regen.
What do I do next to add the field on the handheld? I do not see an option customize like how we had it on the previous versions.
After the 4 fields are added and the data regen is performed, if the fields were added to the appropriate location, they should show up as an additional row in the material queue on the handheld.
Hi Cynthia,
How do I add them on to the handheld? Do they get added on the handheld ‘Move Inventory’ screen automatically?
To add custom fields, you will follow this procedure.
You will then need to recycle the application pool afterwards to get it to show up on the handheld.
Created the 4 new fields and data regen has been performed. They fields do not show up on the handheld.
can you provide a screenshot of the table/fields.
When you set up the fields, they must match the documentation exactly and they are case sensitive.
Example:
Emw_col1_type_c
