Manufacturing Mobile Auto-Issue
You can use the Manufacturing Mobile Auto-Issue feature when you only need to backflush components in the work order after assembly item production is finished.
If the BackFlush All Components box is checked in the work order, then all the components will be backflushed by default. If the work order contains a serial component, other components cannot be backflushed using BackFlush All Components.
Auto-Issue enables you to backflush other components in the work order and consume serial items manually using the Manufacturing Mobile scanner interface for work orders with serial components.
Manufacturing Mobile Auto-Issue is not supported for serial components in a work order.
