Site Configuration screen to make each mobile device specific to a vehicle. The
Site Configuration screen on the mobile devices allows him to designate one site
as the From (Remove, Move, Pick,) site and one as the To (Add, Move, Receive)
site. He can make the From and To sites the same sites, if needed.
Since the usual transfer of inventory for his business flows directly to the vehicles
via add/receive, then to the customer via remove, he can set up the From and To
sites as the specific vehicle. When his employees then use the device, any lists
and searches are limited to the locations contained in that specific vehicle when
adding or removing inventory. If employees need to move inventory from the
storageareatoatruck,theycanquicklychangethesettingsontheSite
Configuration screen and make the From site the storage area. Using the Site
Configuration screen saves the employee the time it would take to filter through
inventory in all sites. For detailed information on using the Site Configuration
screen for the mobile devices, please refer to the online help.
In addition, since Rusty wants his employees to be able to scan sites and
locations, he makes sure his Site/Location Codes are short sets of numbers and
characters and his Site/Location Descriptions are longer, more detailed
descriptors of the code. For example, a Site Code is VEH1234 and the Site
Description is VIN 123400789 – White Ford Econoline.

scanner at the PC that will be used to scan labels on items. Knowing this, they

have setup their Site Code as 100 and the Site Description as Main Store. Their
Location Codes follow the pattern o f SFA2R12 with Location Descriptions of
