The Warehouse Mobile app in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central gives you several ways to handle inventory picks. You can pick across all document types at once, or you can filter by sales orders, transfer orders, or a specific pick document. This article explains how each option works so you can choose the right one for your warehouse workflow.
The general Inventory Pick action covers all inventory picks, regardless of document type. If you want to limit yourself to one document type, you start by selecting the relevant order number and the app guides you through picking only for that type.
Inventory Pick options in the Warehouse Mobile app
When you open the Warehouse Mobile app, the action called Inventory Pick applies to all inventory picks. This is the broad option that does not restrict you to a single document type.
If you choose Inventory Pick for Sales instead, you begin by selecting a sales order number. From there the app guides you through picking only for sales orders. In other words, the app applies a filter on sales orders so you only see what is relevant.
The Transfer Order Pick works the same way. You select the transfer order number and continue down to the item number, picking only for that transfer order.
Picking across document types with the pick document
If you go into the Inventory Pick option, you select the pick document directly. This view looks across pick documents for all the different sources at once, including outbound transfers, sales orders, and production orders.
You then select the document you want to pick to. This is the option to use when you want to work across sales document types in the warehouse without limiting yourself up front.
Once you have selected the document, you start picking with the normal picking functionality. There is nothing special to learn beyond choosing the right entry point for the kind of work you are doing.
