Opqo provides a number of general configuration options for inventory.  These define behaviors acrosall inventory functions.


To configure the inventory general options, add configuration to the general section of the STAUTOSCRIPT.STAMCONFIG automation script in the Maximo environment.


appConfig = {
  "general": {
    ...
    "inventory": {
      "allowManageImage": true,
      "allowCreateInventory": true,
      "allowCreateBalance": true,
      "allowCreateBin": true
    },
  }
}


The above shows the default configuration.  The options within are explained in the following sections.



Item Master Image Management


Opqo allows Inventory Managers to manage item master images.  This includes:

  • Setting an item master image from the camera or camera roll
  • Deleting an existing item master image.


Access to this function is controlled by the allowManageImage system property. 


Adding configuration with this property set to false will disable the ability to set/change/remove the item master image.  Item master images will still be visible.


The default value of this property is true.



Inventory, Balance and Bin Creation Options


The inventory transfer and receive functions require the user to nominate the destination inventory balance. The following configuration properties impact the selection of the destination inventory balance.


The default values for each of these properties is true.


At a high level, each of the properties controls the following:

  • allowCreateInventory: Whether a new inventory record can be created as part of the transaction
  • allowCreateBalance: Whether a new inventory balance record can be created as part of the transaction
  • allowCreateBin: Whether a new bin number ( a bin number that does not exist on any balance in the storeroom) can be created as part of the transaction.


In practice, the properties work together to control different aspects of the transfer and receive processes, as shown in the following flowcharts.


Inventory Transfer

These properties impact two areas for inventory transfer:

  1. The items shown by Inventory Search when selecting items to transfer
  2. The destination bins that are available for selection, and whether a new bin may be entered.





Inventory Receiving

These properties impact the destination bins that are available for selection, and whether a new bin may be entered.


Note that the allowCreateInventory property does not impact inventory receiving. The base presumption is that if an item has been ordered for a storeroom, it is expected to be stocked in that storeroom. Hence, an inventory record will always be created as necessary to allow the receipt.
