Improvements

Inventory

NS-5540 Added Ability to Manually Close Lots from Lot Balances list view

We’ve added a ‘Lot Status’ property to the ‘Lot Balances: Mass Update’ page which will allow users to open and close Production Lots. It is now possible to close lots with inventory balances and those balances will persist if the lot is reopened. In tandem, we also updated the NorthScope Clean Up job to not to automatically reopen lots with inventory balances. The NorthScope Clean Up job will still close empty lots as it does today. We’re hoping this a win-win situation for all!

Note: Production Lots with un-posted inventory transactions or un-posted sales orders will not be allowed to be closed until those transactions are posted.

 

NS-5562 Changed Sales Order Allocation to affect On Hand inventory on Order Ready to Post

We were previously updating On Hand inventory when a sales order was saved as ‘Shipped’. Going forward, we will update On Hand inventory for items and lots only when a sales order is saved as ‘Ready To Post’.

Note: This item includes a Datafix that will Reverse the On Hand inventory for any sales orders currently in ‘Shipped’ or ‘Approved’ status.

 

NS-5592 Added Production Batch Certifications to Inventory Transaction Integrations

Inventory transaction integrations are getting a major boost because we’re adding the ability to include production batch certifications. Here are a few things to note: Production batch certification integration is designed to manually assign certifications to new and existing production batches that are applicable to a site, item or both item & site. Only certifications that already exist in the certification master file will be imported. Additionally, many certifications may be specified for a transaction in one integration. Not to worry though, certifications are always optional.

Sales

NS-5574 Added validation message to prevent deletion of Substitution items already added to Sales Orders

We were allowing users to delete substitution items from the ‘Sales Order Item Substitution’ page while the item exists on the sales order as a substitute. This was causing unnecessary confusion. Going forward, users will be prompted to remove the order item prior to removing substitution links on a sales order.

Bug Fixes

Financial

NS-5589 Journal descriptions failed to handle apostrophes when integrating to Dynamics GP

The outbound integration procedure was failing to break down journal line descriptions that included apostrophes. We’ve updated the code and now you can enter apostrophes on the journal line descriptions to your heart’s content.
