Warehouse Mobile Devices Portal - Now as an App for your mobile device

Our team has been working on an application that would eventually replace the existing web-site based Warehouse Mobile Devices Portal (WMDP), as we see the trend of warehouses relying more and more on phone-based devices with added scanner capabilities (Honeywell Dolphin 75e, for example).

We are happy to announce that the app is now publicly available.
Installation and configuration instructions,  as well as download links, can be found on the Dynamics 365 for Operations wiki website:
https://ax.help.dynamics.com/en/wiki/install-and-configure-dynamics-365-for-operations-warehousing/

The app works on Windows 10 devices, as well as Android devices. iOS is not supported, since such devices are generally not used in warehouses due to high cost and some technical limitations.

The app only works with Dynamics 365 for Operations, so older releases like AX 2012 R3 can only use the old WMDP web site.

The app is an alternative front-end to all the business logic and screen generation logic in X++, so does not contain any business logic inside, similar to the old WMDP.

As you will see, we have re-worked the user interface, focusing on showing as few controls as possible at once, adding cards for showing grouped data like on-hand info, work list, etc. A special keyboard to entering quantities, support for scanning, etc.

Here is how the app looks on a Windows Phone:

We are very excited to get this out into your hands and are looking for feedback. So don't be shy :)

Tutorial: Warehouse Mobile Devices Portal for the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics AX

A lot of people have been trying to use the Warehouse Mobile Devices Portal (WMDP in short) on the latest version of AX (on various CTP builds we've released), and have been having a lot of trouble with that.

We've finally published the wiki article on installing the portal on a clean environment, that contains step by step instructions on how to download the installer, and how to configure it after installation to connect to the AOS. It's available here:
https://ax.help.dynamics.com/en/wiki/warehouse-mobile-devices-portal-for-microsoft-dynamics-ax/


Also, for those who just want to quickly execute some warehouse work and are used to the WMDP emulator form - that one is still available, and can be accessed very easily through the following link

https://usncax1aos.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com/?mi=action:WHSWorkExecute&cmp=usmf

(where you need to replace usncax1aos.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com with the URL of your AX)


Hope this helps!

And let us know if you have feedback on the installation instructions wiki page through whatever way you prefer.

Thanks!
