# Repeating Item Entry Section

The Repeating Item Entry Section lets operators scan and record an unknown number of barcoded items within a single material movement activity, without needing to submit the activity between each item.

## Overview

When a material movement activity is configured with the Repeating Item Entry Section, the form starts with a single item entry. As each section is completed, a new blank section appears automatically — allowing operators to keep scanning until all items are captured.

Each section records:

* **Barcode** — scanned by the operator
* **Material ID / Name** — auto-populated from the barcode scan
* **Quantity** — entered by the operator
* **Additional attributes** — such as lot number, location, reason code, or unit of measure, depending on template configuration

## Scanning Items

1. Open the material movement activity from your order or worklist.
2. Scan the barcode of the first item using a barcode scanner or the on-screen input.
3. The **Material ID/Name** field populates automatically based on the scanned barcode.
4. Enter the **Quantity** and any other required fields.
5. Once all required fields in the section are complete, a new blank section appears below.
6. Repeat steps 2–5 for each additional item.

{% hint style="info" %}
Empty trailing sections (sections left blank after you finish scanning) are automatically ignored on submission — you do not need to delete them.
{% endhint %}

## Submitting

When you have scanned all items, tap ***Submit***.

* All sections must be valid before submission is accepted.
* Material movement transactions are created according to the workflow configuration:
  * **PER\_LINE** — each section creates a separate transaction.
  * **BATCH** — all sections are combined into a single batch transaction.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If any section has incomplete required fields, submission will be blocked until all sections are valid.
{% endhint %}
