It is now possible to import a forecast for a blanket order into a dedicated table. Imported forecast may be included in the standard Business Central demand forecast table directly from dedicated SmartTrade table.
Supply Chain
Improved availability and date calculations
The Requested Cargo Readiness Date (CRD) is now derived from the Expected Receipt Date (ERD), taking production time, transport lead time, and inbound handling time into account.
Caption translation in Dutch
Transport type captions departure, arrival, and combined transport have been added.
Partial purchase receipts confirmation request
When receiving a lower quantity than originally ordered, confirmation is requested. Message text of this request is extended with order number and line quantity.
Production and assembly
Production orders included in availability calculations

Inventory Availability
Planning horizon
A configurable horizon end date can be defined to limit availability calculations where required.
Item availability symbols
Availability symbols may be added across multiple pages, including the item overview. Symbols are configurable in SmartTrade setup Item Availability Calculation.
Visual aid in lot number availability issue
In attempt to reserve a lot number exceeding the available lot quantity, lines with the same lot numbers are marked as issue line until a choice is made to which line takes precedence.
Lot status handling on blanket orders
Function was added to reserve lots on blanket purchase orders and blanket sales orders. Reserved quantities are displayed in lot availability.
Traceability
Batch processing for lot status and ERD updates
A new codeunit has been introduced to recalculate lot status and ERD as a job queue entry.
Quantity reduction with single tracking line
It is made possible to adjust line quantities on sales, purchase and assembly documents with tracking enabled, provided there is only a single lot number assigned. This setting is configurable per user in User Setup page by a checkbox under header Sync Single Line Tracking.

In the factbox of cost calculations, cost per Consumer Unit (CU) including sales cost are added.

Problems solved
General
Transfer order partial receipts
An issue has been resolved where transfer orders did not correctly copy container information when creating a partial receipt.
Corrected lot availability display
In some cases, purchase lines were displayed more than once in lot availability.
Expected purchase receipt date updates fixed
In some cases, entry of Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA), Estimated Time of Departure (ETD) or CRD did not force recalculation of ERD field in the purchase header.
Consistent terminology for customs transit
Inconsistent use of the terms “customs” and “transit” in Dutch have been corrected. The system now consistently uses “transit” terminology throughout SmartTrade.
VAT number no longer copied correctly
An issue has been resolved where VAT numbers were no longer copied correctly since early June 2025. SmartTrade update released mid October restored VAT numbers on the VAT entries retrospectively.
Sales data captions translated
Several sales-related screens still displayed English captions. These captions have now received a Dutch translation.
Drill-down from transport orders to related documents
Document attachment drill-down from transport orders was displaying incorrectly documents under certain conditions. The system now consistently navigates to the correct related documents.
Sales
Ship-to address list appears when creating sales credit note
Fixed instances where the ship-to address selection logic was triggered during Sales credit memo creation.
Purchase prices per consumer unit corrected
An issue has been resolved where direct unit cost per CU was not updated correctly.
Lot numbers added to purchase quotations
When converting a purchase quote to a purchase order and an item with tracking enabled was included, a tracking line was created but lot did not become visible on the purchase line.
Sales quotes without ship-to address
In case a customer did not have any delivery address assigned, delivery address of a newly created sales quote was placed under custom shipping address.
Ship-to country/region code
An issue has been resolved where the ship-to country/region code was not updated correctly in sales order lines in all cases.
Item ledger CU quantity field calculation
During sales document posting, the consumer unit quantity field was not correctly populated on the item ledger entry. This has now been fixed.
Supply Chain
Purchase orders from contracts corrected
Instances where a purchase contracts without a cost calculation was used to create a purchase order, an error was displayed referring to weight. This was resolved.
Transport order status and colouring corrected
When changing status of a transport order, configured colour of corresponding status was not inherited.
Shipping cost calculation
When an order was created from a blanket order was incorrect in certain cases. Incorrect inheritance of item volume value was causing incorrect results in shipping cost calculation.
Duplicate freight forwarder captions
Corrected identical captions in Dutch translation of shipping cost and shipping charges for freight forwarders.
Posted purchase lines without container number
When posting purchase orders via a transport order, posted purchase lines were created without a container number. This issue has been resolved.
Transfer order lines missing on creation
Function Add Purchase Lines on transport orders failed to retrieve purchase lines. This caused transfer lines not being created by using function Create Transfer Order.
Purchase contract quantity not visible in lot availability
This was corrected.
EDI
Special character handling in EDI messages
EDI processing failures caused by special characters in invoice line descriptions have been resolved.
EDI validation for ship-to address
Shipping address was requested when creating an EDI order, which conflicted with fundamental EDI process.
EDI framework validation corrected
Validation within the EDI framework was not functioning correctly.
