Functional Area:
GENERAL LEDGER
Feature: Trial balance report with transactional detail and unposted GL transactions.
Description: The trial balance with transaction detail report displays the details about each transaction for ledger accounts. The information in the report includes opening balances, debits, credits, and the resulting balances for a given date range. For transactions, the report information includes the transaction date, voucher number, transaction description, debits or credits, and a running balance for the year to date based on the current fiscal year. It will also show unposted general ledger transactions.
What's good about this feature: This report provides transactional detail behind the trial balance, and also permits inclusion of unposted general ledger transaction detail.
Effort to implement: Minimal effort.
Functional Area:
WAREHOUSE
Feature: This feature lets system administrators define where in the warehousing app to show a list of all lines for the current work and allows workers to select which line to pick next. This benefits warehouse workers who often need to get an overview of the pick lines in a work order so they can better optimise their picking sequence.

Functional Area:
WHOLE APPLICATION
Feature: Improved experience on mobile devices.
Description: The web client and its form patterns will be responsive on mobile devices, enabling the majority of the application user interfaces to be usable on smaller screens. This will significantly improve the usability of the application on mobile devices, minimising the need to build separate user interfaces for smaller screens. This set of improvements will stretch over multiple release waves.
In Platform update 32, pages with an Action Pane show the Action Pane collapsed when opened on a smaller screen.
Version: 10.0.8
What's good about this feature: Users can now work more comfortably with the application from a range of devices.
Effort to implement: No effort.
Functional Area:
WHOLE APPLICATION
Feature: Cancel work.
Description: Warehouse Work Force Cancel is an admin facility available from the user interface that enables the user to cancel specific warehouse work that is currently in progress but is blocked (often, but not necessarily, due to data corruption).
In Platform update 32, pages with an Action Pane show the Action Pane collapsed when opened on a smaller screen.
Version: 10.0.8
What's good about this feature: Unlike the standard Cancel button, the new cancel work function does not have a precondition for the last completed work line to be of type Put. In other words, it does not require item quantity on a work line to be on a non-user location.
Effort to implement: Minimal effort.
Functional Area:
WAREHOUSE
Feature: Location directive inventory picking ageing.
Description: Two new picking-location directive strategies have been introduced: FIFO (first in, first out) and LIFO (last in, first out).
Version: 10.0.8
What's good about this feature: These strategies can be used for both batch and non-batch tracked items and to ship items to customers based on when the inventory entered the warehouse.
Effort to implement: Minimal effort.
