Balance IDThe primary key in detailed stock on hand in M3 in MWS060 (MWS068):
  • Company (CONO), 
  • Warehouse (WHLO), 
  • Item (ITNO), 
  • Location (WHSL), 
  • Lot (BANO), 
  • Container (CAMU), 
  • Receiving no (REPN)

None of these can be combined on in the MITLOC file. And this is what we use a lot to transact on in Mobile action. Sometimes we use a set of balance ID’s by Location or by Lot or by Container etc.
