The Change User Location flow in the Job Time Mobile app lets you control which inventory location you are working from when you register materials on a job. It is a standard flow in the Mobile Flow Suite. The location you select becomes the location code on the job journal lines you create, so picking the right location matters for accurate material registration.
What the Change User Location flow does
The Change User Location flow is part of the standard Mobile Flow Suite in Job Time Mobile. Its job is to determine which location you are working on. When you are locked in on a specific location, the app uses that location for the functions you run.
For example, the Find Item and Show Bin Content function depends on which location you are currently set to. If you are locked in on a location that is set up with bins, the function shows you the bin content for that location. Switch to a basic location without bins, press Enter, and the location code changes accordingly.
How the location affects material registration on jobs
The location you select directly affects material registration when you pick materials for a job. The location code you are working from becomes the location code on the job journal lines that the app creates when you use this function. If you are on the wrong location, your job journal ends up with the wrong location code.
