# Advanced item inquiry

The Advanced item inquiry can be accessed by creating a mobile device menu item (**Warehouse management > Setup > Mobile device > Mobile device menu items**) with the **Activity code** set to **Advanced item inquiry**.

When accessing the advanced item inquiry on the mobile device, users can scan/manually enter the **Item number** in the **Item inquiry** screen.

An initial screen is displayed with the following item information:

- **Item number**
- **Info**
- **Storage condition**
- **Handling type**
- **Handling instruction**
- **Statement**

When users confirm the information, the on-hand information is displayed in a grid layout. Each box contains the following fields:

- Key identifier (Box title): **Location** where the on hand is stored
- **Physical: Physical inventory** of the item in the location
- **Reserved: Physical reserved** inventory of the item in the location
- **Picked: Physical picked** inventory of the item in the location
- **Available: Available physical** inventory of the item in the location

Users can view the same information as a list by clicking on one of the boxes and accessing the **Inventory details** screen. It is possible to link this screen with other inquiries by leveraging the standard detour functionality (for example, to access the related location inquiry with a single click).
