What s New in CU 10 for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 This document lists changes to functionality that have been included for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 in cumulative update 10. Most changes were made in the Warehouse management, Transportation management, and Retail areas of the product. In addition, a number of regulatory features have been included in CU 10. Those features are also listed and briefly described in this document. Warehouse management enhancements The following enhancements were added to Warehouse management functionality. What was changed or added Improvements to replenishment Improvements when viewing inventory on hand Description Wave demand replenishment now recognizes existing min/max replenishment work as supply when evaluating if it should create new replenishment work. Cancelling wave based replenishment work will now unblock sales order work automatically. Demand replenishment will now consider all lines in the replenishment template even with different directive codes in situations where the entire demand quantity is not assigned to a put location. The directive code on work templates with the work order type Replenishment is now editable. For more information, see Set up replenishment. A new field called Available physical on exact dimensions has been added to the On hand by location form. This field shows the available physical quantity for all the dimensions displayed on the screen. There have been performance improvements to the on hand stored procedure to use better query plans and make sure it is only called when necessary. A new clean up job has been added under Inventory management > Periodic > Clean up > Warehouse management on-hand entries cleanup. This job will delete records in the InventSum and WHSInventReserve tables for closed on-hand entries. What s New in CU 10 for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 3
Enhanced serial number functionalities Integration to manufacturing Items with a tracking dimension using serial numbers in the sales process can now be used with warehouse management processes. It is now possible to validate sales serials using the mobile device as well as the ability to indicate unreadable serial numbers. You can also enter sales serial numbers using the pack station and for sales order returns. Additionally, you can open the form that shows the recorded serial numbers from the Load lines tab on the Load details form. It is also possible to register serial numbers from the Picking list registration form, which will open the form for capturing sales serial numbers related to the sales line. For more information, see Register serial numbers for a sales order. In the manufacturing process, when consuming serialized components, it is now possible to postpone the registration of the serial number until production consumption. This will save time in warehouse processes as the serial will not be needed to be registered during receiving of serialized components. For more information, see the Dynamics AX Manufacturing R&D blog. Picking only the ordered quantity from license plate controlled locations during raw material picking is now possible. You can now maintain what policy to use for raw material picking on an item level. It is also possible to switch the issue status between Picked and Reserved physical. For more information, see the Dynamics AX Manufacturing R&D blog. During report as finished and put away it is now possible to change inventory status on the mobile device. This is enabled through the use of disposition codes which can now be configured on mobile device menu items with the work creation process Report as finished and Report as finished and put away. It is now possible to overproduce with back-flushing when using a scrap factor on the Bill of Materials line. Any overproduction using warehouse management enabled items will be recalculated to determine the correct raw material consumption quantity. The correct variable scrap will be taken into account and the remainder will be picked if there is enough on-hand in the production input location.

Integration to project It is now possible to use warehouse management processes items together with purchase, production and sales orders linked to projects. You can register inbound purchase orders via the mobile device, which will synchronize the project issue transactions. Please note that no warehouse work will be created during inbound registration. As part of the purchase order product receipt update, the linked project issue transactions will be updated to Sold. You can now process reporting as finished for production orders linked to projects using the mobile device. The corresponding project issue transactions will be automatically synchronized and be updated to Deducted, and thereby no warehouse work will be created. You can now process a project with item requirements for a warehouse management enabled item. You can release to warehouse or access the load planning workbench directly from the item requirements screen. Item requirement lines can be added to a load that also has normal sales order lines. Project packing slips can now be run from the warehouse and transportation management areas that allow processing the packing slip. It is possible to print packing slips from loads that have both project and non-project order lines. It will always split the packing slips in two, where they will be shown immediately after each other. What s New in CU 10 for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 5
Improvements to inbound processes The behavior of the mobile device menu item with the work creation process set to License plate receiving has changed. It will now only register the arrival of a purchase order and create put away work. It will leave the created work in an open state. If you want to use the old process, where the put away work was also conducted at that point in time, use a mobile device menu item with work creation process set to License plate receiving and put away. During the process of put away work using the mobile device, we have added several new options for exception handling for the warehouse worker. Three new buttons have been introduced during put away work; Split put, Override LP and Skip. They can be used to split items to multiple locations, consolidate items on a license plate at a location, or skip the current work line and proceed to the next put away line. Additionally, the Cancel button will now be available in all put away screens. For more information, see Configure mobile devices for warehouse work. During purchase receiving using the mobile device, the unit of measure will be defaulted to the UOM setup on the GTIN number. When using the Delivery schedule form on a purchase order line to split the delivery of a purchase order to different days, the load lines will also be updated. Performance when registering product receipt and querying for a put away location has been improved when using Volumetric and Stocking limits constraints for locations. Now the amount of full locations in the query should not affect performance. What s New in CU 10 for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 6
Improvements to outbound processes Improvements to work templates Over picking using the mobile device has been enabled during sales and transfer order picking work. Over picking will only be possible if there is enough inventory available at the current pick location and if it is not already allocated to other work. To enable over picking, both the work user and the mobile device must be set up to allow over picking. For more information, see Set up mobile device user accounts for workers and Configure mobile devices for warehouse work. During picking on the mobile device, you can now use the Full button any time during picking to indicate that you cannot pick any more lines. It is now possible to block release to warehouse and creation of work for sales orders that exceeds customers credit limit. Performance of closing of containers during pack operations have been improved by avoiding some client/server calls. Performance when having containerization as part of wave posting been improved and optimized when scaling number of sales lines per order. A new section of parameters has been added to the Work template form called Work header maximums. They can be used to split a work header when the sum of work lines exceeds the quantity specified. For more information, see Create a work template. Transportation management enhancements The following enhancements were added to Transportation management functionality. What was changed or added Create scheduled routes Description Scheduled routes can now be generated from a route plan, where the segments of the scheduled route correspond to the hub configuration associated with the route plan. A batch job is used to create the scheduled routes depending on date range, particular days of the week and a load template. The scheduled routes can be used with Load building workbench in order to create optimal loads for the routes. For more information, see Set up a route plan and routing guide for freight transportation. What s New in CU 10 for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 7
Improvements to auto-release to warehouse process Integration to project When using the auto-release to warehouse process it is now possible to consolidate multiple transfer orders based on To warehouse and From warehouse into the same shipment. For more information, see Sales orders and fulfillment rates in Warehouse management. It is now possible to plan transportation for purchase and sales orders linked to projects. It is possible to access the load planning workbench from the item requirements screen. Retail enhancements The following enhancements were added to Retail functionality. What was changed or added Global refund checks are not supported and have been removed. Show variant sales price in Point of sale (POS) instead of base price. Make Infocode groups available for selection in open drawer store operation under AX functionality profile Expose Gift Card functionality for customization.

What was changed or added POS performance improvement when scanning multiple products with overlapping multi-item discounts. Description Introduced alternative algorithm for calculating discounts, which is enforced if predefined max number of calculations steps/loops is exceeded. In this case, point of sale will switch to the marginal value algorithm, which does not guarantee the best discount but provides much better performance characteristics. This feature is configurable in Retail Parameters. Enable Extended Login registration in MPOS. This fix adds the extended logon operation in MPOS. This operation provides an interface that you can use to enroll or remove workers in extended logon using peripherals. Supported peripherals include barcode scanners and magnetic strip readers.
