What does Liquid UI for iOS do?
Liquid UI for iOS enables companies to extend SAP ERP mobile connectivity to
iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, as well as leverages device-specific features such
as the camera for barcode scanning.
Synactives simple scripting platform lets companies customize the SAP ERP
user interface for iOS devices by consolidating and simplifying SAP Dynpros,
tabs, and transactions without complicated programming or modifying thebackend configuration, security, and business logic.
Connectivity and Data Persistence. No re-entering of screen data if connection
is lost, data is secure. Robust connections maintain screen data even if the
network signal drops intermittently. Secure connections provide a completelysecure channel for data over the network.

A straight forward real life example:
Empty KanBan Bins
PKBC is used to empty KanBan bins on the production floor, which drives
replenishment.

12/51
After Process
We do the transaction on a mobile device.
We use a Java Script to move the screenelements so they are visible on the iPod.
The Java Script selects the Bar Code andEmpty radio buttons and positions thecursor to the Bar Code input field.
We scan the bar code on the bins to finishthe transaction.

Results:
Were Mobile, so we dont have to move
the bins to a PC. Saves a lot of handling!
We save a lot of time. 7 key strokes and 3mouse clicks to 1 scan. Were doing 350K
of these transactions, so every key strokematters.
We love the instant on of the iPod
We make less errors. Error proofed by
having the Java Script setting the radiobuttons. The barcodes are never wrong.This is worth as much as the time savings.
We save training costs. This is big.

4. GuiXT puts all the fields together and creates a push button to process.
1. Use Excel to print the labels. Put on the Bins using Velcro.
2. TalTech ActiveX creates theBar Codes in Excel.
