Food & Beverage - Major release Jul 2026 Highlights

Automatically retrieve production-related costs — such as packing or processing — from Trade Management and include them in Grower Return settlement amounts for Account Sales, Pooling, and Consignment, by linking Trade Plans of type Production to Settlement Cost Template lines. (GRR)

Recognise Grower Return Settlement Cost Template lines that reference Trade Plans configured with a G/L Account instead of an Item Charge, picking up amounts already posted to those accounts through Trade Management and bringing them into the Account Sale cost sections with full traceability. (GRR)

For more information, see What's new in Grower Return, version 2602.0.0.0.

Show the real quantity and unit cost on purchase invoice lines for rate-per-unit settlement document costs (e.g., 5 × €9 = €45) instead of quantity 1 with the full amount as the unit price. (GRR)

For more information, see What's new in Grower Return, version 2602.0.0.0.

Configure Deferred Cost Codes in Trade Management, linking a cost category — fertilizer, substrates, labour, and more — to an allocation method and a Trade Plan, and use the new Deferred Cost Worksheet to fetch posted G/L or Item Ledger entries and assign them to a Harvest Order by crop cycle, plot, and week. (TMT + CHP)

Reverse previously assigned deferred cost entries and re-run allocation with corrected figures using the new Cancel Costs function on the Posted Harvest Order, creating offsetting entries rather than deleting records to preserve the audit trail. (TMT + CHP)

For more information, see What's new in Trade Management, version 2603.0.0.0 and What's new in Commodity Harvest Planning, version 2601.0.0.0.

Raise ad-hoc quality checks directly from the Shop Floor Production app and complete them in the Quality Control app, letting operators flag concerns — discoloration, off-odor, equipment irregularities — the moment they're spotted mid-production. (SFP + QCA)

Run multiple simultaneous recurring checks (temperature, weight, and visual) on production routing lines with drift-corrected timing, and automatically schedule periodic inspections on stored stock by location or bin using the new Inventory trigger, supporting HACCP, FSMA, and FDA cold-chain, allergen-swab, and shelf-life compliance. (QCA + SFP)

For more information, see What's new in Quality Control, version 2603.0.0.0 and What's new in Shop Floor Production, version 2603.0.0.0.

Configure Production Order list views per role without developer involvement — control which columns appear, their order, width, pinning, grouping, sorting, filtering, and stacked two-line cells — and save the result as profiles assigned per user or role from Business Central setup.

For more information, see What's new in Shop Floor Production, version 2603.0.0.0.

Set e-commerce orders to auto-release straight to fulfillment on creation, with automatic admin alerts when an order needs review, plus order comments and last-ordered dates at checkout.

Allocate lots correctly across packages and document types (Sales Orders, Warehouse Shipments, Transfer Orders, and Inventory Picks), fixing cases where lots were dropped or left blank on 856 ASNs and SSCC labels.

Distinguish inbound from outbound event types in Event configuration for finer control, with automatic upgrade of existing setups.

Handle Transfer Orders end-to-end in TLX, in addition to Sales and Purchase Orders — sending order data on release and receiving scheduled-shipment callbacks with BOL, carrier, trailer, and seal details.

Include lot number, serial number, expiration date, and quantity in outbound Sales, Purchase, and Transfer Order payloads, with automatic re-send when lot assignments change.

Carry an ERP-Code header on outbound TLX requests so TLX can distinguish which Business Central company an order belongs to.

Include vendor identity and full origin-address details on Purchase Order payloads, and a warehouse code on Sales and Purchase lines for correct multi-location routing.
