I'm looking for insights on how others are handling inventory balance updates in the Maximo Mobile TechMobile (WO) app.
When reporting an item to a Work Order using the Add Material button, the user selects the item, then the storeroom, and finally the bin number. On the Bin Number dialog, the displayed balance comes from the preloaded mobile database (datasource: inventbalDS).
However, after reporting the item, if the user repeats the process, the bin balance does not update. This can mislead users with an incorrect remaining quantity. In some cases, it even results in "insufficient inventory balance" errors - understandably frustrating for technicians.
We also cannot realistically expect users to perform a delta refresh before every material report. (And support data delta refresh itself can be inconsistent, but that's another discussion.)
I'll be trying a few approaches in the coming week, but I'd really appreciate hearing how others in the community have addressed this scenario or any best practices you recommend.
