Adding a note to a mobile stock update
When you correct a bin quantity from the Warehouse Mobile App, you can type a short explanation that is saved with the change. The note appears in the SKU quantity log so managers can see the reason without needing to ask.
How to add a note
- In Luminous, go to Tools → Warehouse Mobile App.
- Open the scanner and navigate to the bin location and SKU you want to update.
- On the stock-update screen, enter the new quantity in the quantity field.
- In the "Add a note (optional)..." box below the quantity field, type your reason (for example: Damaged pallet, recounted by hand or Corrected after cycle count).
- Tap Update and confirm.
The note is saved with the inventory change and is visible in the SKU Quantity Log under the Remarks column — the same column used by desktop manual adjustment entries.
Things to know
- Notes are optional. Leaving the field blank and tapping Update works exactly as it always has — no extra steps required.
- 1,000-character limit. The app enforces this at the keyboard, so you'll be stopped before you can submit an overly long note.
- Whitespace-only entries are ignored. If you tap the field accidentally and leave only spaces, no note is stored.
- Where to find the note later: Open the SKU record → Qty Logs tab. The note appears in the Remarks column on the row for the recount entry.
