Shop Floor Mobile in Business Central adapts its available functions based on the location the user is logged into. If you log into a location that uses bins, you get bin-related functions automatically. If your location does not use bins, those functions simply do not appear.
You control this through the standard location setup in Business Central. You do not need to configure the mobile app separately for each scenario. The app reads the location configuration and shows the relevant tiles and functions accordingly.
How Shop Floor Mobile responds to the user’s location
The mobile flow apps, including Shop Floor Mobile, respond to the location the user is logged into. You can set up directly that a user or resource is logged into a specific location code. That choice is reflected in the tiles the user sees in the app.
For example, with a location code that does not use bins, the app shows no bin-related functions. You will not see options like finding items, viewing bin contents, or similar functions, because they are not relevant for that location.
Bin functions appear when the location requires bins
When you change your location to a location code that has all required bins enabled, more functionality appears in the app. The available functions then include consuming on bin, moving bin content, finding an item, showing bin content, and similar bin-related tasks.
This means the functionality follows the location automatically. You set it up once on the location in Business Central, and the app adjusts what it shows based on that standard setup.
