MSCA/MWA Framework - Mobile Personalization

Mobile Personalization:

Mobile personalization enables you to customize Oracle Warehouse Management pages without making code changes. Personalization support is present in R12.1.X onwards. Personalization metadata is stored in database level similar to OAF personalization. Following are typical examples of personalizations:
  • Hide fields and buttons
  • Provide default field values
  • Copy the value of a field to another field
  • Set editable fields as read only
  • Set non-required fields as required.

Personalization Level:
Similar to OAF Personalization, Following are various levels of personalization for Mobile Pages:
  • Function
  • Responsibility
  • Organization (Inventory Org)
  • User
Personalization Support in Pages:
There are around 40 pages (No. of pages vary from release to release) that support personalization. Customers can raise request for new pages to allow personalization. Following are some example:
  1. Assembly Completion by LPN
  2. GME Mobile Backflush
  3. GME Mobile Complete Product
  4. GME Mobile Create Pending Lot
  5. GME Mobile Issue Ingredients
  6. Lot Attributes Page - PO Receipt

Pre-requisite and Setups needed:
  • WMS Setup should  be completed
  • Set profile option "MWA: Enable Personalization" to Yes.
  • Set profile option "MWA: Cache Personalized Metadata" to No. If this profile option value is set to Yes, then bounce will be required after personalization. Setting the profile option to Yes, results in better performance for personalized pages.
Steps To Personalize:
  1. Navigate to "Warehouse Manager > Setup > MWA Personalization Framework".
  2. Select the mobile page/function.
  3. Click Personalize
  4. Edit the field to personalize
    • Update the Prompt/Default Value/Rendered/Read Only/Required etc properties.
  5. Click on Activate/Deactivate Personalizations to activate/deactivate personalizations on that page.
DFF on Mobile Screen:
  1. If DFF is present on mobile screen, it can also be personalized. Example - LPN DFF.
  2. DFF can be in-line - DFF fields are displayed along with other fields on page. If DFF is not in-line, pressing Ctrl + F will open the DFF window.

  2. Hi,

    I wanted to understand a bit more about MSCA. Does it have the capability to suggest locators based on parts to zone mapping or is that possible only in WMS?

    Thanks,
