The Item module in the Home Tab of Xilnex Mobility serves as a reference tool for users to search or scan an item and retrieve a range of detailed information regarding the item. It works as a centralized item lookup function, enabling quick access to key item data such as item details, pricing, custom fields, stock levels and cell storage location.
This module is designed to support day-to-day operational clarity, improve decision-making, inventory, and stock movement tasks.
Unlike transaction-based modules like Stock Take or Goods Receive Note, this module focusses on real-time visibility and reference, not data entry or stock movement.
