In Mobile WMS, each warehouse user is assigned to a location. You can change that location directly from the device using the “Change User Location” function. When you change the location, the available actions on screen update to match the new location. This lets you switch between an advanced warehouse location with receive, put-away and pick actions and, for example, a counting location, all without leaving the app.
How location works in Mobile WMS
In the mobile flow, the warehouse user is assigned to a location, which is shown in the header. All the actions you see on screen relate to that location. If you are on an advanced location, you see actions such as warehouse receive, put-away and pick.
Changing the user location on the device
You can change the user location from the additional flow using the “Change User Location” function. This is useful when you move to a different location, for example a counting location where you need to work with a different location code.
Click “Change User Location” and select the location you want to work on. The page then refreshes, and the actions shown reflect the location you are working on.
Works across scanners, computers and tablets
This makes it straightforward to switch your location code whether you are working on a scanner, a computer or a tablet. The available actions always match the location you have selected.
