UPDATED: Configuring access for mobile warehousing app in Dynamics 365 for Operations

Back in 2018 I wrote an article on how to configure a D365FO instance to enable the Warehousing App. A lot of time has passed and tonight I will set up the all new and improved Warehouse App so I thought I would also take the time to update the original article

1. Go to the azure portal. In Azure Active Directory – App Registrations create a web application for the warehouse portal
   Name: WhatEverYouWant
   Who can use thisapplication or access this API: Accounts in this organizational directory only
   Application Type: Web app/API
   Sign-on URL: https://[theURLforyourdynamicsinstance]/oauth
2. Open the application to edit it
3. Verify Application ID. Save this for later…
4. Go to API Permissions and click Add a permission
5. Select the API called Microsoft Dynamics ERP (Microsoft.ERP)
6. Choose Delegated Permissions
7. Under Permission to other applications click add application and add Microsoft Dynamics ERP
8. Add the following permissions
   – Access Dynamics AX online as organization users
   – Access Dynamics AX data
   – Access Dynamics AX Custom Service
   Click Add Permissions
9. Click Grant admin consent for [Your Organization] and confirm your choice
10. Go to Certificates and Secrets and click New client secret. Select an expiration and give the key a description like D365FO Warehousing App
11. Log into Dynamics 365 for Operations and go to System Administration – Users and create a new user (in my case called WMAPP. The email address can be anything since it will never be used. The user needs this role:
    – Warehouse mobile device user
12. Now we need to associate the user to the AD Application which is done on System Administration – Setup – Azure Active Directory applications. Here we paste the App ID/ClientID from before and select the user we created. Click Save and you are done.
13. Install the App from app store and enter these settings:
    1. Azure Active Directory ID: AppID/ClientID from step 3
    2. Azure Active Directory Client Secret: The key from step 10
    3. Azure Active Directory Resource: Your Dynamics 365 URL
    4. Azure Active Directory Tennant: https://login.windows.net/yourAzureADtennant.onmicrosoft.com
    5. Company: Dynamics 365 for Operations Legal Entity
14. To configure the mobile att you create a JSON file with the connection setting

{
    "ConnectionList": [
        {
            "ActiveDirectoryClientAppId":"11111111-2222-3333-4444-111111111111",
            "ConnectionName": "YourConnection",
            "ActiveDirectoryResource": "https://{[yourdynamicsenvironent].cloudax.dynamics.com/",
            "ActiveDirectoryTenant": "https://login.windows.net/[yourtenantid].onmicrosoft.com",
            "Company": "USMF",
            "IsEditable": true,
            "IsDefaultConnection": true,
            "ConnectionType": "clientsecret"
        }
    ]
}

15. The JSON file can either be uploaded to the device or converted to a QR code using a service like this.
16. Unfortunately/Thankfully the client secret cannot be put in the file/QR code and it have to be entered manually by editing the connection on the mobile device.
17. To login in to the app you will need to have a username and password. Go to Warehouse Management – Setup – Worker – Users and select a user (in my case 24). Reset the password for worker 24
18. Login to the app using User ID 24 and the new password you just set

Note:
To use the new Warehousing App you will need to enable a feature i D365FO called User settings, icons, and step titles for the new warehouse app which is available from 10.0.17
