This version has a build number of 10.0.1037 and is available as follows:
- Preview of release: October 2021
- General availability of release (self-update): December 2021
- General availability of release (auto-update): January 2022
This month’s release contains the following exciting new features in Dynamics 365 for Finance & Supply Chain Management for these apps: Finance, Supply Chain Management, Guides, and Project Operations.
Add payment breakdown on lease payments
Break down lease payments by contract payment types on payment schedule lines to provide greater insight.
Lease impairment enhancements
Display the new asset balance and financial entry from the lease impairment process in the right-of-use asset impairment dialog before posting the right-of-use asset impairment
Adjust posting date automatically during invoice posting
A parameter that lets the system change the posting date automatically according to your business needs
This will reduce the number of manual steps that accounts payable clerks must complete when it’s necessary to adjust the posting date on multiple vendor invoices and that will reduces manual errors.
Open vendor transaction report
Provides quick access to detailed information about the open transactions for each vendor as of a specific date.
Reverse posted bank statements
Enables the Reverse Statement option in the header of the bank statement
Revert to simple bank reconciliation from advanced bank reconciliation
This feature lets you disable the advanced bank reconciliation functionality for specific bank accounts, which may reduce the complexity of bank reconciliation for some bank accounts.
Unmatch all bank statements and transactions
This feature lets you unmatch all the statements and transactions in one step which enhances efficiency and saves time for users
Define a default state/province for each country/region in the address setup for the global address book
When a default state/province is set, it will be the default value entered in state/province fields when you create a new county or city record for that country/region
Configurable business documents – specific destinations via printer management settings in the reports
Enables the setup and edit of business document-specific destinations by using the print management user interface in the Electronic Reporting (ER) framework use named Electronic Reporting destinations. More types of business documents can now be generated in Finance when using the Electronic Reporting framework
SCM
Enhanced manufacturing execution workloads on scale units
You can now begin work on production and batch orders and report these as finished using the warehouse app, without requiring a round trip to the hub
Setup rules that automatically consume the planned amount of material for each production order
Effective April 2021, Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations – Warehousing (the warehouse app) is deprecated and won’t be supported after April 2022.
It is now replaced by the Warehouse Management mobile app, which was released with version 10.0.17 of Supply Chain Management. The new app is a complete replacement but uses same underlying framework, which makes migration easy. If needed, the two apps can be used side-by-side to help users gradually adjust as they learn to use the new app.
Pause tasks in the Warehouse Management mobile app
Users can now temporarily pause their current task and then can safely return to where they left off. This increases the efficiency of warehouse workers by allowing them to stop their current task to perform another more important one, and then return to the original task without losing any information
Enhanced production floor execution interface for process manufacturing
- This feature provides a state-of-the-art and intuitive user experience for process manufacturers and manufacturers that need to report on batch orders
- Use the production floor execution interface to report progress on batch orders, including reporting on co-products and by-products
Manufacturing execution systems integration
Data exchange is fully automated and near real time, which keeps data current in both systems and eliminates the need for manual data entry. This offers manufacturers a fast path to realizing their Industry 4.0 ambitions by making it faster and easier to integrate Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with common manufacturing execution systems.
Planning Optimization support for priority-based planning
Priority driven MRP support for Planning Optimization
Enhancements
The following table lists the feature enhancements that are new for this release. Each of these enhancements provides an incremental improvement to an existing feature. Because they are only enhancements, they aren’t listed in the release plan. However, to ensure that these enhancements won’t conflict with your existing customizations or preferences, each of them is turned off by default (unless otherwise noted).
If you want to turn any of these features on or off, you must do so in feature management, where they are listed using the names shown in the Feature name in feature management column of the following table.
| FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS RELEASE | ||
| Module | Feature name in feature management | More information |
| Asset management | Offset accounts for expenses in work order journals | This feature lets you specify an offset account for each expense listed in a work order journal. You might typically associate a vendor account with each expense, but other account types are also supported. It adds two new columns (Offset account type and Offset account) to the Expense FastTab on the Work order journal page. |
| Cost management | Create related vouchers for standard cost rounding revaluations | When an inventory financial posting (such as a sales order invoice or inventory transaction) is made, this feature causes the system to create a separate voucher for any related standard cost rounding revaluations and attach it to the financial posting voucher as a related voucher. Without this feature, the system records standard cost rounding revaluations on the same voucher posting. That behavior can sometimes cause conflicting date information, because the revaluations use the session or system date, whereas financial postings use the posting date. |
| Master planning | Azure Machine Learning Service for demand forecasting | This feature enables the Azure Machine Learning Service to generate demand forecasts based on historical data. For more information, see Demand forecasting setup. |
| Procurement and sourcing | Clean up purchase-order update history | This feature lets you clean up temporary historical records related to purchase-order updates. It adds a new button called Clean up purchase update history to the Action Pane on the All purchase orders page. This feature is enabled by default. |
| Production control | (Preview) Auto-picking of warehouse enabled materials for auto-posted picking lists | This feature lets you auto-pick and resolve inventory dimensions for auto-posted, derived, and backflushed picking list journals. |
| Production control | Validate expiration of raw materials against planned consumption date | This feature changes how batch expiration dates are validated when reserving a batch of raw material to be used during production. When this feature is enabled, the batch expiration date is validated against the planned consumption date (the raw material date), as established on the production BOM line or batch order formula line. When this feature is disabled, the batch expiration date is validated against the planned delivery date of the production or batch order (as previously). |
| Sales and marketing | Clean up sales update history based on age | This feature lets you set the maximum age of records to keep when running the Sales update history cleanup periodic task. Older records will be deleted. This is useful for when you set the task to run periodically because the age is always calculated relative to the date the task is run. Without this feature, you can only set a specific date for the oldest records to keep. |
| Sales and marketing | Improve “Top 100” customers report performance | This feature improves the performance of the Top 100 customers report by always running the report across all customers (which is its intended use) rather than by allowing custom queries. When this feature is enabled, all Records to include settings are disabled in the Top 100 report dialog. |
| Warehouse management | Scale unit support for release to warehouse of outbound orders | When this feature is enabled, outbound orders can be released from the hub directly to the scale unit where the orders will be fulfilled. |
In Feb2022 we can expect v 10.24
| New Feature area | Feature | More information | Enabled by |
| Distributed hybrid topology | Enhanced warehouse execution workloads on scale units | Warehouse management workloads for cloud and edge scale units | Enabled by default. |
| Planning | Planning Optimization support for reorder margin and issue margin | Safety margins | Enabled by default. |
Enhancements
| Module | Feature name in feature management | More information |
| Production control | On-demand material availability check for production orders | This feature makes it faster to open the Production orders to release page, which is available from the Production floor management workspace. Without this feature, the system automatically checks whether materials are available for all listed production orders as soon as you open the page, which can take significant time if you have a large number of orders. When this feature is enabled, the system instead provides a toolbar button, which you can use to initiate the materials check only for selected orders and when needed. |
| Production control | (Preview) Register material consumption on the production floor execution interface (non-WMS) | This feature enables workers to use the production floor execution interface to register material consumption, batch numbers, and serial numbers. This feature only supports items that are not enabled to use advanced warehouse processes (WMS). Support for WMS-enabled items is scheduled for a future release. Some manufacturers, especially those within the process industries, need to explicitly register the amount of material consumed for each batch or production order. For example, workers might use a scale to weigh the amount of material consumed as they work. To ensure full material traceability, these organizations also need to register which batch numbers were consumed when producing each product. |
| Production control | Report as finished on warehouse management workload for the cloud and edge scale unit | This feature lets workers use the Warehouse Management mobile app to report a production or batch order as finished when the app is running against a warehouse management workload on a cloud or edge scale unit. For more information, see Report as finished and putaway on a scale unit. |
| Production control | Start production order on warehouse management workload for the cloud and edge scale unit | This feature enables workers to use the Warehouse Management mobile app to start a production or batch order when the app is running against a warehouse management workload on a cloud or edge scale unit. |
| Warehouse management | New load planning workbench pages | Enables two new load planning workbench pages: Inbound load planning workbench and Outbound load planning workbench. |
