Mastering DATASCOPE WMS Customization: A Developer’s Guide to Tailoring Your WMS Solution

Welcome to the world of DATASCOPE, E.Net Business Objects (APIs) – the pinnacle of integration and efficiency in warehouse management. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of our Business Objects functionality, offering developers and solution providers a roadmap to harness the true potential of our Selective Architecture Framework. We invested heavily in a set of tools called “Selective Architecture.” This toolset allows our customers to tailor their DATASCOPE WMS solution to their needs.

Understanding Business Objects

At its core, Business Objects encapsulate system logic within DATASCOPE WMS, mirroring the robustness of SYSPRO’s E.Net API layer. This document caters to advanced software developers, introducing the E.Net Business Objects module as an essential component for seamless integration with third-party applications. On a transaction level, a particular object can be called to do a specific task within the system. Our business objects have also been built to be backward compatible, an essential requirement for using business objects in warehouse environments. When newer software versions are released, existing custom software can still operate on the newer versions using our Business Objects. Our Business Objects follow a structured and transactional approach since they align with our core system’s business logic. These Business Objects are extensively utilized in our core services within our core software.

Examples

Imagine a scenario where the software operating an automated packing line needs to interface with DATASCOPE WMS. Our E.Net Business Objects make this a reality by enabling the posting of job receipts for each pallet packed and triggering the printing of DATASCOPE TrackID labels. The transformative impact of these objects is evident in real-world applications. One of our customers, leveraging their internal development team, achieved remarkable automation in their processes. Here’s a glimpse into their success story:
  • Importing Online Orders into SYSPRO’s ERP Utilizing SYSPRO’s E.Net Business Objects, our customer seamlessly imports online orders into their SYSPRO ERP.
  • Inventory Reservation with DATASCOPE’s Auto Reservation Business Object – Leveraging the power of DATASCOPE’s Auto Reservation Business Object, they automatically reserve inventory for the imported orders.
