Features removed or deprecated in the Project Operations March 2022 release

Project management and accounting "Always create adjustment transaction" parameter

Reason for deprecation/removal	Adjustment transactions are required for audit purposes. After deprecation, this parameter will be hidden. The system will always create adjustment transactions, just as it currently does when the parameter is set to Yes.
Replaced by another feature?	No
Product areas affected	Application
Deployment option	Project Operations for production/stocked scenarios
Status	Deprecated: By March 1, 2023, we will hide the parameter and change the system behavior so that adjustment transactions are always created.

Project management and accounting "Use adjustment date as new project date" parameter

Reason for deprecation/removal	This parameter was originally used to allow for adjustments when a fiscal period was closed. However, it's no longer required, because the accounting date of the transaction can be changed to the first date of the open period, if it's configured. The project date must not be changed, because it represents the date when transaction occurred.
Replaced by another feature?	No
Product areas affected	Application
Deployment option	Project Operations for production/stocked scenarios
Status	Deprecated: By March 1, 2023, we will hide the parameter and change the system behavior so that the project date is never changed on adjustments.

Resource request workflow in Project Operations for stocked/production-based scenarios

Reason for deprecation/removal	Deprecated because of low usage and transaction volume limitations.
Replaced by another feature?	No
Product areas affected	Application
Deployment option	Project Operations for production/stocked scenarios
Status	Deprecated: By March 1, 2023, we will disable the option to request resources for the project by using the workflow.

Project invoice proposal page without Header and Lines views

Reason for deprecation/removal	Deprecated because of improvements to the page that was introduced together with the Use Project invoice proposal and invoice journal forms with the Header and Lines view feature key.
Replaced by another feature?	Yes
Product areas affected	Application
Deployment option	Project Operations for production/stocked scenarios; Project Operations for resource/ non-stocked scenarios
Status	Deprecated: By March 1, 2023, we will turn off the earlier (legacy) page and turn on the Use Project invoice proposal and invoice journal forms with the Header and Lines view feature key by default.
