Support for having one GS1 Application Identifier (AI) code for From/To Container and From/To Location in Stock Mover (STMV)

Support for having one GS1 Application Identifier (AI) code for From/To Container and From/To Location in Stock Mover (STMV).

Background:

Moving a balance identity from one place to another within the warehouse is usually represented by one AI code for container or location.

Solution:

Added new GS1 field types for container and location, and revised how the existing container and location field types work.

New field types:

• From Container

• From Location

• SSCC (From Container)

How it works:

The two new field types, From Container and From Location, support the Cont and From input fields, respectively, when scanning GS1. The existing behavior of To Container and To Location field types are not changed and work as is.

The existing Container field type will now support both From and To container input fields. Same behavior applies for the existing Location field type where it will now support both From and To location input fields. Parsing of decoded values will depend on cursor position.

For the SSCC, note that the current support is scanning the value on the identity field. When the new SSCC (From Container) field type is scanned on the identity field, the From container is searched. The existing behavior of SSCC (To Container) field type is not change and works as is.

The existing SSCC field type now supports both From and To containers. If the intention of scanning SSCC as part of GS1 is to search for From container, it has to be scanned on the identity field. If the intention is to search for To container, the cursor must be on the To container input field.
