      3. You can set the workflow status entered.
      4. You can choose the Split radio button to split off unassembled quantities into their own session.

   • If you need to modify the list of components themselves, you'll need to save the session on the mobile device in order to edit this information on the desktop app. This includes adding lines for additional Lot/Serial numbers.
8. Once you have reviewed and verified the components and quantities select the Green Check in the top Left Hand corner

   • If using Process assemblies, the user can specific the built Qty and Yield on this window.
   • If you elected to Post the assembly and a listed component has insufficient On Hand quantity a warning message will be displayed: Could not submit assemblies. Component 'X' does not have sufficient quantity on hand as of (date).  In order to move past this and post your assembly, you must resolve the On Hand Quantity discrepancy prior to posting.
10. The next screen (Submitted) will confirm that the specific Assembly Session has been submitted and/or posted and will display the session number assigned.
    • For example, Inventory assembly session 57 posted, if posted, or Inventory assembly session 57 submitted, if saved only.
