Feature details

Mandatory features with the 10.0.25 release

These features have become mandatory and can no longer be disabled.

Product information management

  • Navigation to BOM version from BOM lines: Enables navigation from bill of material (BOM) lines to the BOM Version page.
  • Strict validation on default order quantities: Adds the option to apply strict validation to the default order quantities. When the parameter Validation on default order quantities is set to Strict, stricter validation will be applied. Then the standard order quantity will need to be a multiple of the multiple value. This applies to the Purchase order, Inventory, and Sales order tabs.

Enabled-by-default features with the 10.0.25 release

These features will be turned on by default but can still be manually disabled. These are all targeted to become mandatory with 2022 release wave 2.

Product information management

  • Bill of materials report pre-processing to avoid timeout: This feature pre-processes the bill of materials report. This will help prevent timeout issues for reports that include a very large amount of data.
  • Default financial dimensions separately when using item templates: This feature will let you use the various financial dimensions (Business unit, Cost center, Department, Item group, and Project) separately when applying an item template. When the template is applied and contains one or more of the financial dimensions, instead of overwriting all the financial dimensions specified on the item, the dimensions will be treated separately. In other words, if a given financial dimension is specified on the item, its value for the specific financial dimension will be kept when applying the template that has a blank value for the financial dimension. And if the item's value for the dimension is blank or specified, and the item template defaults a value, then the value from the template will default on the item.
  • Enable product dimension groups for item templates: This feature adds support for product dimension groups in item templates for product masters.
  • Regenerate product variant names based on nomenclature: This features lets you regenerate product variant names based on their assigned nomenclature, thereby allowing you to update product variant names that already exist. This is useful, for example, in cases where you assign product variant names based on nomenclature that includes dimension names, which can change during the lifespan of the product variant.
  • Variant suggestions page improvements
  • Improved attribute inheritance for Engineering Change Management: This feature simplifies the management of attributes for finished goods or intermediate items. When this feature is turned on, it's easier to identify all the attributes that belong to an item, and you can select the attributes that should be propagated from that item to its parent item. This feature is useful when, for example, one component of a finished good is fragile, toxic, or flammable because you can easily identify the fragile, toxic, or flammable attribute and propagate it to the finished good.
  • Engineering Change Management
  • Manage changes to formulas and their ingredients
  • Enable change management on existing products
  • Engineering notifications for production: When a product is changed in the engineering department, it might be important to notify the production department about those changes. In that way, production workers can take appropriate action, such as component substitution, BOM replacement, or route replacement. This feature lets you notify production about changes to products that are being produced.
  • Variant generation for engineering products
  • Product readiness checks
