How variants are shown in Mobile WMS
Example of variant shown in Displayline5 in Pick Order Lines
The description of the item variants are usually shown instead of the Item description in Displayline 3. but the variant code is displayed either in Displayline 4 or 5.
OBS: In the OrderLines, displayline 5 is not enabled by default. It requires a small change in the application.cfg to display it. You can read more about the Order Lines page here.
