These are some of the other enhancements we particularly like:
– The Data Import/Export Framework (DIXF) is enhanced with multi-threading
– The changes in this hotfix include support for printing reports in HTML5 format. This functionality was introduced in Reporting Services 2016. This hotfix adds a new HTML5 file output option, which is available when the Reporting Services version supports it.
– To provide more visibility of the Invoice register voucher, after the invoice is approved, an additional column that is labeled Registered voucher is added to the Vendor transactions form. This column appears after the Voucher column. Data is entered in it when Ledger voucher changes exist for the voucher. This change is applicable only when KB 3097024 is loaded.
– All pending Vendor invoices are now included on the list page, regardless of their save status.
– A user can also now recover invoices that were put in the active state by users who are no longer signed in.
– Payment schedules did not work correctly when manually updated or partially invoiced. This has been addressed with a new check box , named ‘Copy precisely to invoice’.
– There is enhanced support for Support for automated depreciation runs across legal entities.
there are many enhancements in Retail and MPOS.
– Planning BOM levels are now calculated in separate threads.
– The processing performance of BOM level calculations is improved.
– Issue margin is now considered in the calculation of ship dates whenever explosion is run, even during CTP
calculation.
– Users can now override the expected delivery date on the planned order without affecting the re0quired date on the PO Requisition.
– A new option to Search for a purchase agreement is added to the Dropship workbench form. When this option is selected, the system looks for existing purchase agreements when purchase orders are created for the direct delivery.
– To prevent planned orders from being scheduled in the past, regardless of how MRP is set up in terms of futures messages, select the ‘Ensure that planned orders are not created prior to master planning run date’ check box on the master plan that is to be run.
– When running regeneration mrp safety stock demand will be the last type of demand that is fulfilled.
You can now backflush material, that is not reserved, from the production input location, provided that the product backflushing is set to FEFO.
– Changes to packing slip processing improve the posting performance of packing slips for sales orders.
– In Enterprise Portal requisitions, validation logic is added to make sure that only available vendors i.e. approved Vendors appear in the lookup. The behavior resembles the behavior for purchase requisitions in the rich client.
– A new work policy prevents the creation of warehouse work for raw material picking and put-away of finished goods for a set of products at specific locations.
– You can now reverse loads when the shipment is confirmed and therefore enabled. Therefore, you can change loads up until the actual shipment. You can also cancel packing slip updates for sales orders and product receipts for purchase orders. Therefore, you can reverse loads even after these updates have been completed.
in the On Hand form an additional column is added to show the available physical inventory on the exact dimensions that are shown. When some dimensions in the reservation hierarchy are missing, a warning icon appears as a notification that the value in the new field cannot be calculated.
– The speed of response is improved when users open Microsoft Dynamics AX projects from Microsoft Project.
– You can now consolidate the content of different License Plates into one LP. The work that is associated with the LPs will be merged.
