Requirement: Certain territories including UK and Republic of Ireland are permitted to sell children's clothing and footwear at 0% VAT (Tax), whereas all adult sizes of the same item are standard-rated. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-notice-714-zero-rating-young-childrens-clothing-and-footwear/vat-notice-714-zero-rating-young-childrens-clothing-and-footwear As Item VAT Group can only be specified at the Released Product level, D365 does not cater for this requirement. The only workaround would be to create a separate Product Record, which would make Procurement, Sales, Reporting and Planning more complicated. The Item VAT Group override at Item Variant Level would also need to be considered by the POS, so the correct VAT is displayed on the receipt (sales transaction), based on the size of the item that was sold.

The current D365 Retail Assortment functionality enables the User to specify the criteria in which products will be sent from D365 to the Channel Databases for Retail Channels. The current filter criteria are limited to Product Category and Item ID. A product may belong to a certain category but has a certain Product Lifecycle Status which means it shouldn't be sent to the store channel (yet). For example, it's being purchased but it's not available for sale yet, so shouldn't be "discoverable" on the mPOS. To save having to manage Assortments at such a fine level of detail, it would be good to add Product Lifecycle Status as a filter to the Assortments screen, so that even if a product exists in the category that is assorted to a channel, it wouldn't exist until it reached a certain lifecycle status. e.g. Sales Active.
