Feature Details

In this release Microsoft are completing the Default Dimension on Location feature that they introduced several releases ago.

You can set default dimensions for a location on the Location Card page by choosing the Dimensions action. When you choose the location on a line in one of the following documents, its default dimensions are copied to the document:

Transfer Order

Physical Inventory Order

Inventory Shipment

Inventory Receipt

Item Journals

If needed, you can delete or change the dimension on the line.

You can require that people specify dimensions for specific locations before they can post an entry. You can also include location dimension values in Default Dimension Priorities and Dimension Combinations for combinations of priority and dimension rules.

Because transfer order documents and reclassification journals deal with more than one location, the order in which you enter data is important. Default dimensions are copied from the last location field (In-Transit Location is ignored). The following examples illustrate the default dimension that will be used.

This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 1.

The eighteenth of the new functionality in the Application section is Post multiple transfer orders at the same time.

Instead of posting individual transfer orders one by one, you can select multiple non-posted documents in a list to post them immediately or in a batch according to a schedule, such as at the end of the day. For example, this can be useful if only a supervisor can post documents created by other users, or to avoid system performance issues that might happen if you post during work hours.

To batch-post multiple transfer orders

The following procedure explains how to post transfer orders in a batch.

Search for the Transfer Orders page, and then choose the related link.
On the Transfer Orders page, select the orders to post.
In the No. field, open the context menu and choose Select More.
Select the checkbox for the lines for each order that you want to post.
Choose the Posting action, and then choose Post Batch.
On the Batch Post Transfer Order page, fill in the fields as necessary.

For transfer orders that use an in-transit location, you can choose either Ship or Receive. Repeat this step if you need to do both. For orders where Direct Posting is turned on, both options work in the same way and post the order completely.
Select OK.
To view potential issues, open the Error Message Register page.

Note

Posting multiple documents might take some time and block other users. Consider enabling background posting. For more information, see Use Job Queues to Schedule Tasks.
