October ’24 BC Release Wave – Directed Pick & Putaway with Projects

October ’24 BC Release Wave – What’s Included?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central receives major updates twice a year, typically in April and October. These updates introduce significant new features and improvements to enhance the functionality and user experience of the platform. Most capabilities are made available in major updates, but some become available in minor updates, which are released monthly.

Microsoft is committed to delivering predictable updates to the service. Updates are continuous, touchless updates that provide new features and functionality. They eliminate the need to do expensive upgrades every few years.

What can we expect in the October 2024 release?

Businesses can use warehouse activities with projects to help drive an effective flow through the warehouse, and to organize and maintain inventory.

As a continuation to our multi-release effort to ensure that project management features benefit from the rich warehouse capabilities in Business Central, you can now use locations configured for directed flows with projects.

Business picking items before they’re consumed in different ways. The process depends on how their warehouse is configured. When you want to specify either a default Location Code on the Project and Project Task Lines Subform pages, or enter a Location Code on Project Planning Lines, you can now also use locations where the Directed Put-Away and Pick toggle is turned on.

Now, to create or register a pick document, you can use the Create warehouse pick action under the following conditions:

• The Statusof the project is Open.
• The Line Typeof the project planning line is Budget or Both Budget and Billable.
• The Typeof the project planning line is Item.
• The Project Consump. Whse. Handlingis Warehouse Pick (mandatory) , which is now available when Directed Pick and Put-away is selected.

You can also create warehouse picks using a pick worksheet. The pick worksheet lets you organize pick information before you create warehouse pick instructions. You’ll need to fill in the a To-Project Bin Code field on the Location Card page.
