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.
| Module | Feature name in feature management | More information |
|---|---|---|
| Asset management | (Preview) Asset Management enhancements | Supervisors can now configure how work order start dates should be defaulted when changing the work order state. Choose between the scheduled/expected start date (current behavior) and actual start date (new option). Supervisors can now configure how work order end dates should be defaulted when changing the work order state. Choose between the scheduled/expected end date (current behavior) and actual end date (new option). Supervisors can now configure how the system should set the default value for the scheduled start date when dispatching a work order line. Choose between the expected start date from the work order header (current behavior) and scheduled start date from the work order line (new option). Supervisors can now configure how the system should copy the description from a maintenance request to a work order. Choose between copying the description to the work order header (current behavior) or copying the description to the work order line. |
| Master planning | (Preview) Enable ATP calculations to consider user-modified delivery schedules applied to sales order lines | Enables available-to-promise (ATP) calculations to consider user-modified delivery schedules applied to sales order lines. Users working on the Delivery schedule page with ATP delivery date control enabled can adjust the delivery schedule for each line according to demand and expect the ATP calculation to reflect those adjustments. Without this feature, ATP calculations ignore user-modified schedules, which could produce less accurate results. |
| Master planning | Positive days for Planning Optimization | Enables the system to consider positive days settings when running Planning Optimization. |
| Master planning | Show batch job status as Error when applicable for Planning Optimization | Adds a new setting called Show batch job status as Error when applicable to the Master planning parameters page. When this parameter is set to Yes, master planning batch jobs are marked as an error if at least one error was found when calculating supply or processing the batch job. Set the parameter to No to show all completed master planning batch jobs as Ended, regardless of whether errors occurred during the run. |
| Master planning | Start dates of production orders of all components delayed when one of the components is delayed for Planning Optimization | When using Planning Optimization, this feature delays the production or purchase of components when needed to ensure they don't lie unused in the warehouse when they can't be used in the production of their parent item. |
| Master planning | (Preview) Support for splitting and grouping planned orders for Planning Optimization | Adds support for splitting and grouping planned orders for Planning Optimization. This is achieved by approving the planned orders to be either split or grouped and then rerunning planning for the item on the planned orders being split or grouped. |
| Master planning | Use of margins for scheduling orders | Adds the option to consider the use of receipt margin, issue margin, and reorder margin when scheduling a production order. |
| Procurement and sourcing | Synchronize updates of the Requested ship and receipt dates on intercompany sales and purchase order lines | Lets you control whether the requested ship and receipt dates are synchronized across intercompany sales and purchase order lines. It adds new settings to both the Purchase order policies and Sales order policies tabs of the Intercompany setup page for customers and vendors. |
| Product information management | (Preview) Enable product inquiry in-app Copilot chat functionality. | Enables product inquiry in-app Copilot chat functionality. |
| Production control | Standard cost financial posting of a production/batch order with a scrap account method. | Enables the system to financially update a fully scrapped production or batch order with a scrap account method. |
| Sales and marketing | (Preview) Enable attribute-based pricing by company | Enables you to use attribute-based pricing by company. |
| Sales and marketing | (Preview) Pricing management for pricing rule cleanup | Pricing management for pricing rule cleanup. |
| Sales and marketing | (Preview) Pricing management performance enhancement | Improves performance of pricing calculations by using pricing rule hash strings to filter potential pricing rules and speed up matching logic. The first time you enable the feature, it generates a hash string for all existing rules. Thereafter, it automatically generates a hash string for each new pricing rule. The feature adds a new batch job, Generate pricing rule hash value, which you can manually schedule either to generate hash strings for rules that are missing them (delta), or to regenerate hash strings for all existing pricing rules. |
| Warehouse management | Prevent production orders to be released when full material is not available | Fixes an issue where the production control parameter Requirement for material reservation is set to Require full reservation. Previously, when a production order was released while this option was selected, its status was always changed from Scheduled to Released, even if all material couldn't be fully reserved. When this feature is enabled, when a production order is released with this option selected, the production order will only change status once all material is fully available for reservation. |
