Initially the system was called ‘Document Lookup’ because it was exactly what it did; you scanned the barcode and Dynamics NAV displayed the form in the client. This barcode system turned out to be a big success and it was extended to perform different functions as well (such as creating picks, finishing production orders, etc.). Since then I have used it in most places where I implemented Dynamics NAV and it now goes under the name...
