Enhancements

This section describes the enhancements that are available in the January 2022 production update.

Ownership control of extensible business rules

With this enhancement, an authorized user can take ownership of the business rule, or the user can allow other users to take ownership of the business rule. A Release option has been added to the Rule Maintenance page. By default, this option is disabled and an admin user must enable the option through action level permission for the Rule Maintenance page.

Before using this option, you must select at least one rule that is in the Created or Saved status from the list. Release only works for the rules that are in Created or Saved status. After selecting the rule, click Release. If the rule is locked by another user, then the corresponding business rule status is changed to Released. You can open and save the rule in the Extensible Business Rule Designer page to acquire ownership of the rule.

Extensible business rule step re-sequencing

With this enhancement, you can re-sequence the existing steps in an extensible business rule and duplicate the existing expressions and actions of a step to use as a template to define a new step. This table shows the new buttons that have been added to the Extensible Business Rule Designer screen for re-sequencing and duplicating.
Button Description
Duplicate Click to duplicate an exiting row. A new step with the same Expressions and Actions same as existing step is created. You can modify the duplicated expressions and actions.
Up Click to move a step up in the list of steps to change the step sequence.
Down Click to move a step down in the list of steps to change the step sequence.

You must click Save after duplicating a step or re-sequencing a step in the list.

Update OpenQty for production orders

With this enhancement, the Shipment API and ProcessShipment BOD have been enhanced to support OpenQty increases for shipments with production orders. You can now use the API or BOD to increase the OpenQty for a shipment identified as a production order type until the shipment status is Shipped Complete.
