Mobile: Assembly Order filters
When the user activates the Put-away module an empty order list screen is displayed with the filter opened. From the filter icon in the top right-hand corner, you can filter which assembly orders are displayed:
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:
| Section | |||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
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.

Mobile: Put-away 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).

Register Consumption and Output for Assembly Order
From the list of assembly orders, you can access subpages:
- Assembly Order Lines
- Create Assembly Order (Create Assembly Order directly from the mobile device)
|
|
- The Assembly Order Lines page is used to Output finished goods and consumes materials on the Assembly Order
- The Create Assembly Order page can be used to create new Assembly Orders directly from the mobile
Assembly Order Lines - A combined view of Output and Consumption
It is important to understand that assembly differs from other functions, in that it displays both Output- and Consumption- lines together.
This is why the Assembly Order Lines page shows:
- The first line is the Output Item (The "Assembly Header")
- Indented lines are Consumption Lines ("Assembly Lines")
Mobile vs. Assembly in Business Central web client
- Assembly order header behaves like an "Output journal line"
- Assembly order lines behave like "Consumption journal lines"
Consumption lines that are excluded:
- Text lines
- Resource Lines are also excluded, but posted automatically based on the "Qty. to Assemble."
Mobile: Assembly Order Lines
The layout of the Assembly Order Lines page will be slightly different, whether the Location is set up for "Bin Mandatory" or not:
Layout with "Bin Mandatory"
This screenshot above shows Output Line and Consumptions Lines for assembly Order No. “A00010”.
Layout without "Bin Mandatory"
This screenshot above shows Output Line and Consumptions Lines for assembly Order No. “A00014”.
The information displayed for the output line (Assembled Item) are:
- Qty. to Assemble: Current Qty. to Assemble
- Remaining Qty.: Remaining Qty. to Output
- Qty. assembled (upper right corner): <Registered assembled items, ready to be posted> / <Qty. to Assemble>
Mobile: Register Output - Step 1/2
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 Lot numbers
The Lot number tracking works the same way as for Receiving orders.
Register serial numbers
The serial number tracking works the same way as for Receiving orders.
Registering expiration dates
Expiration dates are only registered on Output Line according to Item Tracking Settings of the Item.
For Consumption Expiration Date is derived from the Lot or Serial No.
Registering the quantity
The quantity registrations work the same way as for Receiving orders.
Posting the order
When the order lines have been handled the user activates the "Post" menu item and the registrations are sent to Business Central.
The information displayed for each consumption line (component) are:
- Quantity per: The quantity-per-output-unit from the Component (derived from Assembly Bill of Materials). For each unit assembled, this many units of the component are needed.
- Picked Qty. (only visible when Require Pick and Require Ship on Location): The number of components picked from storage and moved into the assembly area. If location is setup for Bin Mandatory, the components must be picked before they can be consumed. This is a separate process (a Warehouse Pick is created from the Assembly Order in the Web Client, then picked like any other Warehouse Pick from the Pick main menu icon in Mobile WMS).
- Remaining Qty.: (only visible when no Bin Mandatory): For locations not setup for Bin Mandatory, the raw materials can be picked directly from inventory (available stock from item ledger entries). No specific picking to the assembly area is needed prior to consumption.
- Qty. to consume: (Upper right corner): <Registered consumed items, ready to be posted> / <Qty. to consume> (Based on the Qty. to Assemble and the "quantity per" from the BOM.)
Mobile: Register Consumption - Step 2/2
