The Show Item Picture flow in Business Central lets warehouse workers pull up a photo of an item by entering the item number. If the item card has a picture attached, the flow displays it instantly. This helps you confirm which item you are handling when there are no item numbers or barcodes printed directly on the goods, and when several items look alike.
What the Show Item Picture flow does
The Show Item Picture flow is simple and almost self-explaining. You enter an item number, and if there is a picture on the item card, the flow finds it and shows it to you. That is the whole idea behind it.
Where it helps in the warehouse
The flow is built for situations on the warehouse floor where you are not completely sure what you are looking at. This happens especially when you are receiving items and the goods have no item numbers or barcodes printed on them. If you get an item that looks more or less the same as another one, and you want to confirm exactly which item it is, you can use this functionality.
You enter the item number, and the picture pops up so you can compare it to what you are physically holding.
