Allow purchase order line registration when in external review Set this option to Yes if workers should be able to use a mobile device to register order lines for purchase orders that have an Approval status value of In external review. Set this option to No to prevent workers from registering lines for purchase orders that are in external review.
Enable RSAT support The field enables the Warehouse Management mobile app task validator, which logs and validates each step that the app performs. Because this process can significantly slow down system performance, you should enable the validator only during testing. You should never enable it in a production environment.
