Since upgrading to v10.0.37 Waves still show Shipments that are no longer on the Wave that were either:

  • Removed using the Maintain shipments form or
  • Removed automatically because the Work was cancelled, so it can't exist on a Wave that is already processed.


This idea is to return the original functionality.


Before the upgrade Dynamics behaved as expected:

  • You remove the Shipment from the Wave and it shows as a 'Shipment not on a wave' in the Maintain shipments form.
  • The Wave ID field in any Shipments forms is empty. Made it easy to identify shipments not on a Wave.


Now when you remove the Shipment:

  • It shows both 'not on a wave' and still as a shipment on the Wave in the Maintain shipments form. Makes you wonder if removing the Shipment really worked.
  • These Shipments still show the Wave ID in the All Shipments form. So looking for Shipments not on a Wave in that form is not possible anymore.
  • When you then add the Shipment to a new Wave the Wave ID field in the All Shipments field goes blank. This is because the system has two Waves for the Shipment now and can't display a 1:n relationship on the record.


I can't add screens to this Idea, but reproducing this behavior is easy.

  1. Process a wave with >1 Shipment.
  2. Delete the Work for one of the Shipments.

View

  1. The 'All shipments' form and see the Wave ID still present for the shipment.
  2. The original Wave still shows the Shipment in the Wave lines
  3. Open Maintain shipments from the Wave and you will see the Shipment in the upper fast tab for 'Shipments not on a Wave' while you still see the Shipment as a Wave line on the bottom tab.

Add

  1. The shipment to a different Wave.

View

  1. The Wave ID in the 'All shipments' form is now blank.
  2. The shipment now shows in Wave lines for both Waves.


This was submitted as a bug but MSFT considers it by design now, so it is up to us to get it changed back.
