Prevent Ordering from Suppliers in the Ordering App

• Enabled by default? - Yes
• Set up by customer admin? - No
• Enable via support ticket? - No
• Affects configuration or data? - No 

What's Changing?

The supplier setting Can Create Order in Inventory will now take effect in the Ordering app, meaning that certain suppliers can be hidden and not ordered from.

Reason for the Change

To align the behaviour between the core Inventory solution and Ordering app.

Customers Affected

All Inventory customers that use the Ordering app.

Release Note Info/Steps

• Go to Master Data > All Options >Browse Suppliers
• Select the desired Supplier and go to the Edit Details tab
• If the Can Create Order setting is not ticked, the supplier will not be visible in the Ordering app (or in the core Inventory solution)
• Be sure to Save changes

Decoupling of Full Stock Counts and Line Checks

• Enabled by default? - Yes
• Set up by customer admin? - No
• Enable via support ticket? - No
• Affects configuration or data? - No

What's Changing?

Full stock counts and line checks have now been decoupled so they can be managed independently. 

Reason for the Change

Full stock counts and line checks are separate functions designed for different purposes so should work independently of each other.

Customers Affected

Inventory customers who use line checks.

Release Note Info/Steps

Previously, selecting Stock Management > Stock Count > Clear Entire Stock Count would clear all counts, including any entered in a line check. Now, counts will only be cleared from the stock count - any counts in line checks will remain.

Previously, when a new full stock count was started, any counts entered against line checks were carried over to the new stock count. Now, counts in line checks will not be carried over to stock counts.
