The "extra" field

As with the extrafield on the Task entity, the extra field of a task attachment (inbound or outbound) may contain an XML string (with the document declaration omitted). For inbound attachments, this document may contain non-standard data from the ERP which may be needed by OMD for reporting or displaying purposes. The values can be accessed as attributes using XPath expressions. The naming of the attributes is arbitrary but must be synchronized between OMD and the ERP system.

Inbound Example

<Data previousCounterValue="11" averageQuantity="2" lastRemark="Counter reset"/>

For outbound attachments, this document is basically the same as for inbound attachments. The attribute names will be determined by the widget names of the mobile UI that was used to enter the values. The XML document may contain nested elements, when sub-mobile UI's have been used. In that case, for each sub-mobile UI an element with the name of the sub UI is added.

Outbound Example

<Data newCounterValue="15">
  <REMARK-ENTRY remark="This is the first remark entered"/>
  <REMARK-ENTRY remark="This is the second remark entered"/>
</Data>
