# Advanced sub-batch inquiry

The Advanced sub-batch 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 sub-batch inquiry**.

An initial screen is displayed with the following sub-batch information:
