Abakion’s video collection on Warehouse Mobile for Business Central is extensive, so this article gives you a clear overview of how the videos are organised. Warehouse Mobile is a mobile flow solution for warehouse work in Dynamics 365 Business Central, with an app you download from the app stores.
The videos are grouped into five main areas: why to use Warehouse Mobile, how to get started, the functions and features, how to configure it, and how it works with barcodes. The functions and features section is the largest part and covers everything from simple sales and purchase order flows to full warehouse setups with warehouse receive and shipment.
Warehouse Mobile adapts to your location setup. The tiles shown on the device change depending on whether you use a simple location, a location with inventory put-away and picks, or a location requiring the full warehouse configuration.
What Warehouse Mobile is and how the tiles work
Warehouse Mobile is a mobile flow solution for Business Central. You download the app from the app stores and use it to handle warehouse tasks directly on a mobile device.
The tiles you see on the device depend on your location setup. On an advanced location, you see titles such as warehouse receive and similar warehouse functions. If you switch to a different location, the tiles change to match what that location supports. This is why the video collection is structured the way it is, so you can find the videos that match your specific setup.
The five main sections of the video collection
The videos are divided into five areas:
- Why use Warehouse Mobile covers the advantages of the mobile flow solution.
- Getting started explains how to download the app from the app stores and begin using it.
- Functions and features is the largest section and walks through all the functions.
- Configuration shows what you can change. Warehouse Mobile comes with a lot of configuration out of the box, but you can adjust some of it.
- Barcodes covers how the solution works with barcodes and which barcode types are supported.
How the functions and features are organised
The functions and features section is broken down to match the way you work in the warehouse:
- Item flows and the tiles that relate to them.
- Bin flows and the tiles that relate to them.
- Sales and purchase orders for when you use a very simple location and work directly on the orders.
- Locations with inventory put-away and inventory picks, meaning locations that do not use warehouse receive and warehouse shipment.
- Locations with the full warehouse setup, including warehouse receive and warehouse shipment.
- Physical inventory tiles for counting and inventory tasks.
- Additional flows in a smaller section covering the remaining functions.
This structure lets you go straight to the videos that match your location type and the tasks you need to handle.
