NEEDS REVIEW
Set up
- In NAV/BC we deal with users and not devices.
- You should create five NAV/BC users and assign them as Warehouse Employees with the appropriate locations.
User vs. Device
- Any User can use any device.
- All transactions are logged in “Mobile Document Queue”.
- User name And Device ID
Filtering
...
Concurrency
- All users can process orders simultaneously
- However, One order can only be processed by One user at One time. Once the user can left the order, it can be processed by another right away.

Description
Planned Functions is not designed for multiple users working on the same document and the same time.
Instead, "order locking" is used. A "lock" icon is displayed on the order list when an order is being handled by another user. See Planned Functions for details.
Can two users work in the same order simultaneously
Should you want to process a document by multiple users at the same time, the order can be manually released and other users can also open the order.
However, errors will occur if a user tries to handle an already-processed line.
Best practice
- Agree on who does what in the real world
- I.e. user A selects lines from the top of the list. User B selects lines from the bottom
- Post continuously
- Posting updates the lines for the posting user
- The other user will get an error if they subsequently try to handle that line
