The information displayed for each order can be changed to fit your specific requirements.
The list can show orders of the following types: - Warehouse picks

Selecting the right order
The user can use the scanner of the mobile device to select the right order to work on. In the standard setup, the user can scan the barcode of one of the items to pick. The mobile device will then filter the list of orders to only show the orders containing this item. This will typically result in a very limited set of orders.
Note: The filter functionality when scanning can be changed to allow filtering on any scanned value. E.g. scanning an order reference number.
The order is opened by touching the order line in the list. Whether this needs to be done once or twice, is defined in the configuration file for the mobile device, and the default is to double touch. When the line is opened the order lines are downloaded to the mobile device.
Order locking
The lock symbol, illustrated on the third order, tells the user if someone else is working on the order. If the user selects a locked order, a warning is displayed, telling the user who is working on the order. The locking functionality function is used to prevent unintentionally selecting an order handled by another user. If the user still wants to work on the order after seeing the warning, the order can be opened in the menu by selecting "Release (order no.)" to unlock the order. The menu is opened either by clicking the round blue menu button, or by long-pressing on the line.

Mobile: Pick Order lines
When the order lines have been downloaded to the mobile device the order lines can be registered while the mobile device is disconnected from the server.
An example of this is if the mobile device is used in an area without wireless network coverage (e.g. inside a container).

Sorting the order lines The sorting of the order lines is defined in Business Central. There are multiple ways to do this.
The goal of the sorting is to guide the picker through the most optimal route in the warehouse. The Mobile WMS setup screen defines the sort order.

There are three options:
- Worksheet
This is the standard configuration. Selecting this option will sort the order lines according the to what was selected when the pick order was created. If the pick is created from the shipment the user has the options in below:

- Item Sort the order lines by item number
- Bin Sort the order lines by bin.
This is not typically not the shortest route through the warehouse. Use the bin ranking feature to get the optimal route.
Selecting an order line
The fastest and most reliable way to select an order line is to scan the barcode of an item.
If the barcode is not available, the user can simply touch the line twice. On devices with a physical keyboard, the up/down arrows can be used, opening the order line by pressing the enter button. This starts the registration process for the order line.
Registering bins
The user must register the bin the items are taken from.

| If a bin is suggested by Business Central the user must validate that the items are picked from the correct bin. This is typically done by scanning the barcode on the shelf. If the barcode is not available the user can press the barcode symbol and enter the value manually.
Note: In the standard setup the user is allowed to pick from another bin. In this scenario, a warning is displayed, but the user can override it and register the new bin anyway. It is also possible to block using another bin or allow it without showing a warning. If a bin is not suggested by Business Central then the user can enter any value. |
|
Note: It is possible to register more than one bin. The quantity for each bin is registered. When the registrations are posted in Business Central the line is automatically split.
Registering Lot numbers
The Lot number tracking works the same way as for receive orders.
Registering expiration dates Expiration dates are not registered on pick orders. Only the Lot or serial numbers are registered (they contain the expiration date information)
Register serial numbers
The serial number tracking works the same way as for receive orders.
Registering the quantity The quantity registrations works the same way as for receive orders.
Menu options The menu options are the same as for receive orders.
Posting the orderWhen the order lines have been handled the user activates the "Post" menu item and the registrations are sent to Business Central.
