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
- 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 - Open the application to edit it
- Verify Application ID. Save this for later…
- Go to API Permissions and click Add a permission
- Select the API called Microsoft Dynamics ERP (Microsoft.ERP)
- Choose Delegated Permissions
- Under Permission to other applications click add application and add Microsoft Dynamics ERP
- Add the following permissions
– Access Dynamics AX online as organization users
– Access Dynamics AX data
– Access Dynamics AX Custom Service
Click Add Permissions - Click Grant admin consent for [Your Organization] and confirm your choice
- Go to Certificates and Secrets and click New client secret. Select an expiration and give the key a description like D365FO Warehousing App
- 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 - 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.
- 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 - 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"
}
]
}
- The JSON file can either be uploaded to the device or converted to a QR code using a service like this.
- 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.
- 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
- 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
