This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2.
The 16th of the new functionality in the Application section is allow more than one user to post warehouse entries at a time.
In busy warehouses where lots of things are moving around, it’s important that warehouse employees don’t get in each other’s way or slow each other down. That includes registering their activities in Business Central. Multiple workers can now work on transactions that involve warehouse entries without locking each other out, which means less waiting time and more productivity.
Enabled for: Users, automatically
Public Preview: –
General Availability: Oct 2024
Feature Details
To avoid the warehouse entry table being locked while warehouse employees posts transactions, Microsoft now use a number sequence to assign entry numbers to warehouse entries and entries in the Warehouse Register table. This feature is controlled by a feature key, which is enabled by default. However, you can turn it off if needed—for example, if you have an extension that requires the previous behavior.
My Opinion
It seems odd that only one user could post warehouse entries at a time, so it is good to see this restriction lifted. The backward compatibility option is a nice touch for anyone who does need the old processes maintained.
