Remote configuration

The remote configuration stores configurations that affect only the fulfillmenttools apps and clients, such as the Backoffice or the Operations App. These configurations don't change behavior in the backend.

The remote configuration is a simple key-value store. Based on a key, different values and value types can be stored. Every entry can also include a specific scope, allowing configurations to be made available only to certain user groups or clients.

To apply the remote configuration described below, use the REST API endpoint /api/remoteconfigs, or see our API documentation for more details.

NEW_PACKING_ENABLED	BOOLEAN	true	OPERATIONS_WEB_APP	Operations Web App	The Operations Web App uses the new packing process.
SINGLE_PACKING_ENABLED	BOOLEAN	true	OPERATIONS_WEB_APP	Operations Web App	Enables a simplified packing process that does not allow packing multiple packages, as only one packing target container is created.
PREFILL_AMOUNT_HANDLER	JSON	{"packing": "true"}	OPERATIONS_WEB_APP	Operations Web App	In the new packing view, the item count in the amount handler is prefilled (for example, 5/5) and does not need to be selected by the user. By default, the value is not prefilled (e.g., 0/5).
OPERATIONS_POLLING_INTERVALS	JSON	{"pickingOverview": 30000,"packingOverview": 30000,"restowOverview": 30000,"linkedServiceJobsOverview": 30000,"serviceJobsOverview": 30000,"handoverOverview": 30000}	OPERATIONS_WEB_APP	Operations Web App	Defines custom polling intervals in milliseconds. The client defaults any value below 5000 to 5 seconds. If a specific view's interval is not defined, the system uses its default value. It is not necessary to define every key; only specify the key for the interval to be changed.
android_native_printing_enabled	BOOLEAN	true	OPERATIONS_ANDROID	Operations Android App	DEPRECATED Only available before app version 164. Allows the user to select the native Android printing interface when printing documents.
android_zebra_printing_enabled	BOOLEAN	true	OPERATIONS_ANDROID	Operations Android App	DEPRECATED Only available before app version 164. Allows the user to select Zebra printers directly from the network when printing documents.
android_use_new_load_units	BOOLEAN	true	OPERATIONS_ANDROID	Operations Android App	Enables the new load units selection during the picking process.
android_calc_ean_check_digit	BOOLEAN	true	OPERATIONS_ANDROID	Operations Android App	Enables the app to automatically calculate the check digit for EAN-8 and EAN-13 barcodes if the scanning device does not send the complete code. For camera scans or devices that send the complete code, this setting has no effect.
android_use_picking_focus	BOOLEAN	true	OPERATIONS_ANDROID	Operations Android App	If true, the user can only scan the item that is currently in focus during the picking process. If false, the user can scan any item in the list. The default value is true. This setting requires android_use_new_picking to be enabled and has no effect for pick jobs that require scanning a storage location or have barcode validation disabled.
return_trigger_review_enabled	BOOLEAN	true	OPERATIONS_KMP	Operations KMP App	If true, the user can select a checkbox for each article in an ItemReturn to indicate it needs further review. If false, the checkbox is not shown. This setting is supported in app version 1.3.0 and newer.
MOBILE_POLLING_INTERVAL_RESTOW	INT	60	OPERATIONS_MOBILE	Operations Mobile App	Configures the update interval in seconds for open restow items while the screen is active. The minimum value is 5; smaller values are ignored. The default is 60. This setting is supported in app version 154 and newer.
SHORTPICK_REASON_MANDATORY	BOOLEAN	true	OPERATIONS_MOBILE, OPERATIONS_WEB_APP	Operations Mobile App, Operations Web App	If set to true, a single order pick can only be completed if a short-pick reason has been selected for each short-picked item. This setting is supported in app version 157 and newer.
PICKING_SCANNING_RULE	STRING	ARTICLE	OPERATIONS_MOBILE	Operations Mobile App	Value can be one of ARTICLE (default), LOCATION, ARTICLE_LOCATION or LOCATION_ARTICLE. When value is ARTICLE only the article's barcode can be scanned during picking. For LOCATION only the code of the storage location in which the item is placed can be scanned. For ARTICLE_LOCATION a scan is only successful if first the article's code is scanned and then the location's code. For LOCATION_ARTICLE a scan is only successful if first the location's code is scanned and then the article's code. This setting is supported in App Version 165 or newer.
PICKING_SCANNING_TYPE	STRING	SCAN_NOT_REQUIRED	OPERATIONS_MOBILE	Operations Mobile App	Value can be one of SCAN_NOT_REQUIRED (default), MUST_SCAN_FIRST or MUST_SCAN_EACH. When value is SCAN_NOT_REQUIRED then scanning is optional during picking. For MUST_SCAN_FIRST a line item needs to be successfully scanned at least one time - afterwards the item count can be increased via the number input field without needing to scan the item again. For MUST_SCAN_EACH every single item needs to be scanned during picking. This setting is supported in App Version 165 or newer.
PACKING_ITEMS_AUTO_INCREMENT	BOOLEAN	FALSE	OPERATIONS_MOBILE	Operations Mobile App	Defaults to false if not configured. This controls if the Item Selection Screen in the App Packing Process will count up all items to the maximum value automatically. This setting is supported in App Version 164 or newer.
PACKING_CONTAINER_TYPE_SCAN	BOOLEAN	FALSE	OPERATIONS_MOBILE	Operations Mobile App	Defaults to false if not configured. This controls if the Container-Type Selection in the App Packing Process will show a Screen to Scan (Camera or Laserscanner) a Container.
