Segmented product data entry
With the number of fields available on a product (or item), it would be ideal if we could create data entry segments governing, which fields a user role should fill in and give the user a guided data entry experience. This should be combined with a workflow where the product enrichment process...

Provide Option to Set Unit of Measure during Engineering Product Creation
There is no option to specify the Unit of Measure when creating an 'Engineering Product'.
This causes a problem when using dual-write to integrate Products to CRM. This is because CRM requires a Unit Class/Group to be specified at the point of creation, with no option to work...

As a workaround, you can create a released template product, assign it to the release policy that is assigned to the engineering category, and thus, when the item is created (released) in the engineering category it will get by default the unit of measure assigned to the released template item.

Add the ability to filter Released items by item dimensions (tracking, storage)
Often, especially when testing or checking for issues, you need to find items that match a particular storage or tracking dimension - for example, when you want to check items that are batch or serial controlled, or you realise in testing that some items have been setup incorrectly.

Block purchase order creation but not open purchase order lines.
Hi Team,
In release products , Engineer - > default order settings we have an option under Purchase "Stopped" checkbox.
If we are enabling it, it blocks creation of purchase orders manually or from Master Planning and also open purchase order lines.
Thanks for your input! This is already posssible to be done by using the detailed business processes of the product lifecycle state.
You will need to enable the Engineering Change Management configuration key. When you do, in the form "Product lifecycle state" you will see a more controlled business processes. You can create your own lifecycle states and create one that does not allow purchase. When you assign this lirfecycle state to a proudct, it will prevent the product to be added to new purchase orders, but it will still allow the existing lines to be continued. You do not need to use any of the existing Engineering Change Management functionality.
There is an idea that is to make the product lifecycle state indpendent of the Engineering Change Management configuration key, and you can vote it if desired on: Microsoft Idea (dynamics.com)

Having Item name / description on all forms
It will be great if we have on transaction lines the item name / description also along with the item code. It is not convenient for end users to see only the item code. I know the description can appear when hovering on the item code but not enough when we have multiple lines. It should be on a...

Thank you for your feedback. We are not considering the suggestion at this time due to the following reason:
For unique referencing of a SKU in the User interaction, we suggest to use the unique product ID instead of using a segmented entry of Item + Dimensions.
In other context, for example Apparel, a table based selection would be needed, but this would require a complete redesign of the user interaction, and a generic segmented control might not be the solution.
