Business value
Allow more than one user to post to inventory at a time. There are, however, some limitations. G/L postings are still sequential, and Business Central can only apply transactions to one open item ledger entry at a time. That means that, unlike service items, for example, two or more people can't post to the same inventoriable item at the same time.
Feature details
By dynamically assigning entry numbers, you can avoid locking the inventory ledger tables. Avoiding the lock allows multiple users or sessions to post to inventory at the same time. This also opens up for dependent scenarios, such as posting transfer orders or sales orders concurrently.
The feature is about inventory posting, but often inventory posting has an associated general ledger posting, which is not concurrent. Therefore, you can post two item journals at the same time, one journal must wait for the other to finish. This is only relevant if you turn on the Automatic Cost Posting toggle on the ** Inventory Setup** page. Similarly, if you post an outgoing entry for an item, for example, it will have to update the remaining amount on an incoming entry, which prevents two users from posting to the same inventoriable item simultaneously.
You can turn on or turn off the feature on the Feature Management page, and upgrade isn't required. It's turned off by default for backward compatibility and to allow partners to test their extensions before turning it on.
