Distinct Default order settings for Inventory and production
production and inventory constraints are often not the same in terms of Min/Max/Standard/Multiple quantities.
Moreover, when using items with production type 'Formula', the 'Multiple' is to be defined on the formula itself.
These quantities should be defined in one place and made...
Item template has lost power since AX 2009
The item template only controls the Inventtable. this is unfortunate, especially since we lost the default order type that used to be in the inventtable.
We can only create purchased items with the template in 2012 or D365.
We think the template should be extended to the default ...
Thank you for your feedback and suggestions.
Instead of pursuing the approach of the Item template, we are reviewing the option to uptake the work that the Retail team has done in the Retail categories, that allows to set default values for released product attributes by category. The advantage of this approach is, that this approach is also usable when using data entities. In the latest version (Fall release) this also covers the default site and warehouse. So the recommendation for now would be using the Retail category as "product master category" and use the category defaulting capabilities.

ECM - Use up remaining inventory from old version before activating new one
This is a suggestion for Engineering Change Management (ECM). Before switching to a new engineering version, the system should provide an automated way of using up remaining inventory on the old version. There are customers that use ECM for versioning, but they have additional requirements to...

Released Product Mandatory fields templates and Stopped flags
Add a new feature to assign a Mandatory field template to Released Products. Each template would allow the user to define which fields on the Released product are mandatory so you could assign different templates to different types of products. This would be a step up from the current template...

Better control over generation of notes for constraint based configurations
When a note is generated for a configuration, all the attributes in the model are transferred to the note. it should be possible to control which of the attributes to transfer. Some if the attributes might be technical variables which are totally irrilevant for the buyer e.g. calculation attri...

Empty "Sub-BOM or formula" field in DBA levels of a configured item on a sales order line
I configured a finished product with Product configuration model on a sales order line. This item had multiple BOM levels (composed by semifinished product, composed itself by other items). On the sales line, in Line details FastTab> tab Product, "sub-BOM" field is correctly populated for the fin...
Thank you for your feedback. We are not considering the suggestion at this time due to the following reason:
The "sub-BOM" and "sub-Route" fields on the sales order line are populated by the Product Configurator mainly for backward compatibility for customers that was migrating from the now discontinued Product Builder feature.
In case of the Product Configurator, there will always be a one-to-one relationship between a configurable item and the generated BOM and Route, which is modeled through an active BOM version and Route version. Hence the "sub-BOM" and "sub-Route" fields on BOM lines representing sub-assemblies are not populated.

Batch Attributes by Variants
Batch Attributes can only be specified at the product master level. It would be great to have the ability to add product specific Batch Attributes for each variant. This functionality is also needed for Product Attributes.
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 this ideas item is only related to Batch attributes, Product attributes should be tracked by a different entry.
Hide no longer used items from item selection lookups
Have another parameter at the Product lifecycle state settings so it can hide no longer used items from item selection lookups (or do it automatically)? E.g. from drop downs when creating BOMs.
The main goal is to omit obsolete products from the selection lists without need to use worka...
