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 not possible to register more than one bin per posting.
Registering Lot numbers
The Lot number tracking works the same way as for receive orders Receiving orders.
Register serial numbers

Registering expiration dates

For Consumption Expiration Date is derived from the Lot or Serial No.
Registering the quantity The quantity registrations works the same way 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.

When the user activates the Put-away module an empty order list screen is displayed with the filter opened.
The purpose of the filter is to limit the number of orders sent out to the mobile device. In the standard configuration the user can filter on:

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 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.
