There must be an option to turn off material consumption on the mobile scanner, and let the system only backflush materials at the Job card terminal. The Mobile menu items "Report as finished and put away" and "Report as finished" must be extended for non-compulsory material consumption. This is a one-liner in X++ in the WhsWorkCreateProdPut. setProdParmReportFinishedMainProductFieldsForProdItem() method: ... prodParmReportFinishedMainProduct.bomAutoConsump = ProdParametersDim::find(prodParmReportFinishedMainProduct.InventDimId).BOMAutoConsumpRepFin; ... Justification: the error-prone recording of the material consumption is an internal planning and controlling requirement, while labeling and shipping generates revenue. One does not want to see label printing failing just because one screw is missing in the ledger.

Great idea !
The mobile device option "Report as finished" should not directly consumed BOM based on the Flushing Principle. There should be a setup saying how it should generate Picking Journal = Always, Never, Flushing Parameters (as it exists for Production Floor Execution).

P.S. This is actually the same idea as Evert Bos' but in green:

You seem to have accepted that one, I am happy :)
