The Admin Site maintenance screen will be modified to add the maintenance of the EPL_IMPORT_CREATE_SD_FLAG to the Admin tab group. This will have a label of "Import Create Standing Data".

    • EPL_VEHICLE_REG = Vehicle ID provided
    • EPL_DESCRIPTION = Vehicle ID provided
    • EPL_VEHICLE_MILEAGE = 0
    • EPL_VEHICLE_CHECK_DATE = 0;
    • EPL_VEHICLE_CHECK_TIME = 0;
    • EPL_VEHICLE_CHECK_DRIVER = ;
    • EPL_STATUS = 'Y';
    • EPL_LAST_CHANGED_DATE = Now;
    • EPL_LAST_CHANGED_TIME = Now;
  • User
    • EPL_SITE_ID = the Load's Site
    • EPL_USER_ID = User ID Provided
    • EPL_USER_PASSWORD = 'PDA'
    • EPL_USER_NAME = User ID Provided
    • EPL_USER_ADMIN = 'N'
    • EPL_USER_ACTIVE = 'Y'
    • EPL_USER_ACTIVITY_DATE = 0
    • EPL_USER_ACTIVITY_TIME = 0
    • EPL_USER_VEHICLE = Vehicle ID provided
    • EPL_USER_LOAD = Load ID Provided
    • EPL_USER_JOB =
    • EPL_LAST_CHANGED_DATE = Now;
    • EPL_LAST_CHANGED_TIME = Now;

Scan Error Notification

Note Note: Both the Windows Mobile and Android PDA clients will be modified in this change.

The EPOD_SITE DAL object, database table and packages will be modified to add EPL_SCAN_ERROR_FLAG.

The Admin Site maintenance screen will be modified to add the maintenance of the EPL_SCAN_ERROR_FLAG to the PDA tab group. This will have a label of "Scan Errors Intrusive".

The EPOD Logon webservice will be modified to add the new flag to the message.

The PDA_SITE DAL object and database table will be modified to store the new EPL_SCAN_ERROR_FLAG flag.

The PDA client Logon Response message will be changed to add the new flag to the database.

If the new flag's value is "N", no functionality will change.

If the new flag is "Y", when scanning containers or products, and the container or product is not found, the PDA will display a popup error, that must be cleared before the user can continue scanning.

Vehicle Checks Bugfixes

Note Note: Only the Windows Mobile PDA client will be modified here.

The Vehicle Checks functionality will be fixed to display multiple pages of checks if they are present.
