A utility will be available to remove historical movement records when they’re no longer needed.

      Yes, there’s quite a few of the new features strike me as overdue so I’m delighted to see them coming.

  2. Mike says:

    Will the new feature be helpful to address the following:

    Presently a bin to bin transfer cannot be posted if an item in a bin is allocated to an open sales order, inventory transaction or manufacturing order.

    The bin to bin transfers (movement) within the warehouse should be independent of these other transactions.

    If I later print the Sales order picking ticket, it would be nice to have the latest bin.
    If I later print the MO picking ticket, it woudl be nice to have the latest bin.

    etc.

    Hi Mike,

    Unfortunately, all I know so far is what was in the announcement of the new feature.

    It’s possible this has been dealt with as a different change, but if not may be worth adding to the MS Connect site as a suggestion for a future release.

    Ian
