Replaced Functionality

·         TRIMIT Standard Unit Cost Globally is replaced by standard Business Central Costing Method Standard on Master/Item. Therefore, costing principles back to standard Business Central.
But we will keep the Calculated Unit Cost fields in Items as a base for (Standard) Unit Cost and can still use report Unit Cost Revaluation Report for revaluation.

·         Inventory Posting Setup – all TRIMIT fields besides Configuration Variance Value have been deleted. Production Postings will now be posted to the standard Business Central G/L Accounts.
This also means that you need to fill the following G/L Accounts in the Inventory Posting Setup:
