Features removed or deprecated in the Project Operations October 2023 release

Project management and accounting adjustment parameter for "Invoiced"

Reason for deprecation/removal	Transactions are much more difficult to audit if they're adjusted after they have been invoiced. This behavior causes confusion for the small number of users who use this functionality.
Replaced by another feature?	No
Product areas affected	Application
Deployment option	Project Operations for production/stocked scenarios
Status	Deprecated: By October 1, 2024, the parameter is hidden and the system behavior is changed so that adjustment transactions can't be created for invoiced transactions.

Project management and accounting "Allow for projects with multiple funding sources" parameter

Reason for deprecation/removal	This parameter was originally added before feature management was available. However, it's no longer required, because the functionality can now be safely enabled for sales orders and multiple funding sources. Multiple funding sources should now always be optionally configurable in the project contract.
Replaced by another feature?	No
Product areas affected	Application
Deployment option	Project Operations for production/stocked scenarios
Status	Deprecated: By October 1, 2024, the parameter is hidden and the system behavior is changed so that the system behaves as if the parameter is always enabled, but multiple funding sources aren't required.

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 is hidden. The system always creates 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	Removed as of 10.0.32.

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. The project date no longer changes on adjustments.
Replaced by another feature?	No
Product areas affected	Application
Deployment option	Project Operations for production/stocked scenarios
Status	Removed as of 10.0.32.

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 as of 10.0.32 with the removal of enabling workflow. Many objects marked as obsolete and some objects removed.

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, the earlier (legacy) page is turned off and the Use Project invoice proposal and invoice journal forms with the Header and Lines view feature key is turned on by default.
