How would you like to be able to get information about free storage bins directly in the warehouse—without having to leave your work area? This is exactly what the free location search feature in the digital warehouse management solution for MS Dynamics NAV (Navision) and Business Central enables you to do. Mobile data collection allows you to view all the information on your mobile device and retrieve it during the ongoing process, without having to interrupt your current activity. The mobile warehouse management solution for MS Dynamics thus provides significant time savings and makes it noticeably easier to search for free storage bins in Navision/NAV or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
The “Free Location” module is integrated into various modules within the NAV (Navision)/Business Central warehouse management system and can be opened directly from the application. In the mobile view, the “Free Location” module in the mobile data collection solution for MS Dynamics also accesses all information from the location card and from the storage bins. In contrast to Navision and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, the free location search feature in the warehouse management system for NAV and Business Central has a clear and user-friendly interface in order to optimally support your employees during the whole process.
To find free storage bins in Microsoft Dynamics NAV or Business Central, the corresponding storage location is selected on the “Warehouse and Warehouse Stock” tab and the associated location card is opened. Using the free location search feature in MS Dynamics NAV and Business Central, you can now access the various storage bins within the selected storage area. A table opens that can be filtered for free storage bins via Navision or Business Central. A list of all free storage bins within the selected storage location is then generated.
Searching for free locations directly in NAV (Navision) or MS Dynamics 365 Business Central can be very tedious. To do this, the employee has to actually stop what they are doing in the warehouse, such as processing a goods receipt or stock transfer, and instead go look up the information on a computer work station via Navision or Business Central in order to determine where they should store the goods that they are in the process of moving. After noting down this information, they can continue with their work. They also need to have basic knowledge of working with MS Dynamics NAV or Business Central in order to be able to access the required information.
