AX 2012 R3 is a major upgrade primarily in the inventory and warehouse management area. There are minimal changes from a Finance perspective but some of the localizations, for example in Brazil and Japan, have been greatly enhanced. The major new functional areas are below:-
New web-based scanning application
Demand planning and re-supply management
Sales Call Centre functionality for enhanced sales order management
Changes to way AX reserves inventory meaning the warehouse will just be able to pick whichever serial number they like and the problems of negative stock at the location level go away
We will also look to have some additional workshops on site in Herisau with some of the key users from Europe prior to releasing to all Key-Users. This will be after the key user meeting in Singapore.
