Unit of measure conversions per Product variant
Unit of measure conversions are set up per Variant in a product. When adding a purchase line or sales line, an error is shown saying "Product variant unit conversions are not supported for this process". This should be possible.
Thank you for your feedback. We released this feature in preview as part of the 8.1.3 monthly update.

Possibility to update Product Item Number when there are transactions
Since the platform 27 update the possibility to update product item numbers has been depreciated. Product numbers can still be updated however. As advised by Microsoft we want to keep our product numbers alligned with the item number of a product over all our entities. We have cases where we n...
Thank you for your feedback.
We removed the possibility to rename the product item number in 10.0.0 as it lead to data corruption cases: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/migration-upgrade/deprecated-features#renaming-released-products
We would consider enabling it again with some restrictions for specific cases. If you vote the idea, we would appreciate if you can add in the comments what is the scenario you are trying to enable (what is the reason why you need to update the item number) and if there are any workarounds for your case. It will help us understand it better.

Enable empty values on fields for Attribute types (fixed list).
Customer has a business need to be able to add a field with an empty value on Attribute types with fixed list.
They are aware that they can put values - "N/A" "." "," or similar, but what the real need is, is the availability for customers to leave an empty value on those fields.

Released products validation - Request to make it dynamic
On released products, the user can validate the product to check if all essential fields have been filled in (Item group, model group etc).
But he actual validation is hard-coded into the class method EcoResProductValidator.isEssentialFieldValuesSet()
It would be nice to have a m...
Thank you for your feedback. Currently this is not in our roadmap; however, we are tracking it and if we get more feedback and votes, we may consider it in the future.
Note that the property defaulting from product category (Retail category hierarchy) has been extended in the fall release 2017, so there are now better ways to avoid incomplete configurations once a product is assigned to a Retail category. When creating products from the product by category forms, the category is mandatory to select.
