Engineering Setup

• During Items BOM Import, if a newly imported Item has an Item Family that matches an already defined Item Family in Insight that has an Item Class > Template Item defined, the procurement class method of the imported item will be converted to match the template item (e.g. MTO to MTS).

  To enable this behavior, set the new system-setting: inResponse.BOMImport.UseItemFamilyClass = 1.

Infrastructure

• Changed tools required for creating web customization plugins. Yarn is used instead of NPM as the package manager. Also incorporated Nx into the build process.

  The package.json file in the customization folder is now split into two files:
  

  • package.json in the root folder for dependencies
  • project.json in customization folder for build/lint commands

  626147
• Actions can now be configured to provide a notification back to the requesting user when launched via inResponse in the browser client. If notification for an action is enabled, the initiating user will receive a notification which will inform them about the successful completion or failure of the action. Notifications can also be configured to appear briefly on the users screen in addition to a new notification dialog which can be displayed via a new 'bell' icon near the user avatar in the application header. User notifications will remain 'unread' until acknowledged by the user.

  578805
• Editing of Order Lines that are in Production is now also supported for Order Lines with Subproducts, given that all Subproducts are of BOM type NB.

   

  567194
• Support for Commission Calculation has been added to the browser-based Sales Orders form.

   

  578781
• Support for copying/pasting a Line has been added to the browser-based Sales Orders form.

  Implemented paste behavior:

  • Below the Line if the selected Line is a regular Product Line
  • As a child if the selected Line is a Grouping Line
  • As a Subproduct if the pasted Product can be a Subproduct of the selected Line

  567701

• Support for automatic Product Identity recognition has been added to the browser-based Sales Orders form.

  If the Product Identity Check is enabled (Setting: inSight.SalesOrders.ProductIdentityCheck), the system checks if the specified Product Version with its configuration can be replaced with a Product Version Identity, and replaces the description and configuration of features/options with those defined in the Product Version Identity.

   

  578797
• Support for one-time address creation has been added to the browser-based Sales Orders form.

  When adding a new address, the new "Is One Time?" checkbox can be used to set this address for one-time use.

  The address field (addLocationCode) will then automatically set its value to "Customer Code + ORDER + Order No" (e.g. CUS123 ORDER 45678).

  Instead of saving one-time addresses in a dummy Customer like on the desktop, they are saved in the actual Customer, but marked as a one-time address so that users can specifically filter for them.

  603570
• Clicking on a status in the status log that does not contain any log data will now clear the contents of the table.

  602415
• A new system-setting has been introduced to suppress the standard Microsoft Windows feature called "Window Ghosting", where an application that is unresponsive for more than 5 seconds, e.g. due to heavy processing or loading large data sets from a database, is marked as "Not Responding" by the operating system.

   

  In this case, the system hides the window and replaces it with a ghost window (the content is faded) and may prompt the user to kill the application from the Task Manager.
  

  Since this behavior can be concerning and unsettling for some users, it can now be disabled for the Insight process (other applications are not affected).

  Please note that some standard features provided by the "Window Ghosting" feature are not available then:
  It is not possible to move or minimize the application window while the application is busy or unresponsive, and if the application is really frozen, it is not possible to close it by closing the window, only via the Task Manager.

  Setting: inSight.Global.DisableProcessWindowsGhosting
