Features becoming enabled by default with the 10.0.29 release

These features will be turned on by default but can still be manually disabled. These are all targeted to become mandatory with 2023 release wave 1.

Cost management

• Cost calculation level: Adds a new bill of material (BOM) level named Cost calculation level, which excludes production and batch orders from its calculations. The system will use this new level when executing cost calculations in costing versions. The system will continue to use the existing Costing level BOM level in processes such as recalculation and inventory close.
• Enable user-defined batch number setup for inventory closing reverse: The Inventory closing reverse process creates batch jobs for each impacted item, which might throttle the batch server if there are too many items. This feature enables the process to use the extra batch helpers that are currently used by the inventory closing process.
• Inventory closing progress details: Provides a detailed view of inventory closing progress.

Inventory management

• (China) Exclude physical receipt and issue costs from monthly average cost: Modifies the inventory cost calculation for items that are assigned the Monthly average cost inventory model, which is specific to China.

Sales and marketing

• Enable creation of a vendor invoice journal when discarding a freight bill: When you discard a freight bill, a corresponding vendor invoice journal will only be created for reconciliation reasons when you are using the pay vendor option. Without this feature, the invoice journal is always created.
