Business Central implementation
The “Realtime” registration data is stored in a separate table “MOB Realtime Reg Qty.” as they are received. From here the data for all mobile devices can be accessed from your customization.
These registrations are only stored for validation purposes and never used in the actual posting. The registrations to be posted are still received with the Post-request when posting the document and stored in “MOB WMS Registrations” as usually.
