Module: Production control

Feature management name: Allow to select validation logic for expiration of raw materials: either against planned consumption date or production order delivery date

Description: Adds a setup option for validating batch expiration dates when reserving a batch of raw material to be used during production. It adds a new value for the Validate batch expiration on field to the Item model groups page.

Module: Production control

Feature management name: Register material consumption as complete and edit dimensions on the production floor execution interface

Module: Production control

Feature management name:Set the desired status on selected jobs in report progress list view in the production floor execution interface

Description:Workers reporting job progress from the production floor execution interface can now select the desired status on multiple jobs in the report-progress list view.

Module: Production control

Feature management name:Streamlined registration process for indirect activities on the Production floor execution

Description:Streamlines the process for workers to register for indirect activities through the production floor execution interface. Previously, when a worker registered for an indirect activity, a dialog box would open, asking them whether they wanted to stop the activity or log it at the end of their shift. This feature removes the dialog. Instead, the system automatically adds the indirect activity to the worker's active job list. The system stops the indirect activity when the worker begins a new task (such as a production job), another indirect activity, or a project job.
