RE: AX 2009 - "Product Release" field --> A.B.C e.g. like version 1.11.2
Hi
No, you can't, not if you want to differentiate the postings!
Suppose you put that str field on the inventTable, you take item X and initialize its product release with "A.1". Then you receive some stock on hand, sell some stock and change the product release to A.2. Then there would be nothing to indicate that the previous postings were done with A.1.
I'd recommend looking into the item dimension "configuration". Then, you'd set up the possible configurations of your item (item X has configurations A.1 and A.2 and ...). With each transaction, you then specify which configuration is concerned (next to the itemId).
AX tracks the configId in the invent transaction table and also shows the stock on hand for each separate configuration (product release).
(You'll have to choose a different item dimension group so that the configuration field is editable for these items).
It's quite possible that you don't have to do any (coding) modifications to AX at all, just setup.
This is a "developer oriented" explanation - of course there are other things to consider from a functional / consulting perspective. I'd recommend that you discuss with the consultant or key user ... They certainly have to be involved and should know about this feature and be able to put it into the proper project context.
(Of course, feel free to ask here, too ... just want to tell you that this is not the developer's decision alone).
Kind regards,
Annette
