Images are recorded in two places
- Attachment to the Source Item, Sales, or Purchase -documents (see table)
- Recorded in "Mobile WMS Media Queue"
Both refer to the "Tenant Media"-table, images are only stored once.
Attachments are transferred only when the source document is fully posted
Business Central only transfers attachments to the posted document when the source document is fully posted. Not when a given line with attachments is posted.
Where the images are attached
- Pick and Put-away includes both "Warehouse" and "Inventory" -documents

How it works behind the scenes
Images are transferred "ad-hoc" in two requests:
- Mobile sends an initial request, containing a uniqe ID of the image. (Mobile Doc. Type: PostAdhocRegistration, Registration type: RegisterImage)
- Mobile sends a second request, containing the unique ID and the image date. (Mobile Doc. Type: PostMedia, Registration type: Type: Image)
This is done to provide the mobile user with a real-time experience, when handling large image data loads.
