Remove a Supply Order from the Repository
To fix transaction issues need in the transactional system you would refresh the repository to remove
the transaction from the planning repository so the engine could run cleanly. The 2024.2 enhancement
enables you to open the transaction record and check the new Exclude from Supply Planning box
to remove the transaction from the most current planning repository version. A system refresh is not
needed.
For more information, see the help topic Entering a Transfer Order.
Combine Minimum Order Quantity with Lot Sizing Options
This enhancement enables customers to pair Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) with any lot sizing option.
Customers who use MOQ will be migrated to a combination of their MOQ and a lot sizing method of lot
for lot. Customers who use MOQ will have their setup changed to use the lot sizing option with the limit of
their current MOQ.
