Features removed or deprecated in the Project Operations October 2023 release

Previously we had announced the depreciation of the Project management and accounting adjustment parameter for "Invoiced". After additional discussion and feedback, we have decided to keep this parameter and the functionality as is and won't remove it.

Similarly, we have decided to keep the Project management and accounting parameter for "Allow for projects with multiple funding sources" and the functionality as is and not remove it. The related feature to "Allow item requirements with multiple funding sources for Project Operations stocked/production-based scenarios" will move to mandatory in a future release but will continue to be dependent on this parameter being on or off.

Features removed or deprecated in the Project Operations March 2022 release

Project management and accounting "Always create adjustment transaction" parameter

   
Reason for deprecation/removal Adjustment transactions are required for audit purposes. After deprecation, this parameter is hidden. The system always creates adjustment transactions, just as it currently does when the parameter is set to Yes.
Replaced by another feature? No
Product areas affected Application
Deployment option Project Operations for production/stocked scenarios
Status Removed as of 10.0.32.

Project management and accounting "Use adjustment date as new project date" parameter

   
Reason for deprecation/removal This parameter was originally used to allow for adjustments when a fiscal period was closed. However, it's no longer required, because the accounting date of the transaction can be changed to the first date of the open period, if it's configured. The project date must not be changed, because it represents the date when transaction occurred. The project date no longer changes on adjustments.
