COSMO Logistics
Formerly known as cc|logistics.
Switching from the old products (NAV) to Apps (BC)
- Dependencies: The current version of COSMO Logistics has dependencies on COSMO Mobile Solution and COSMO Text Module.
- Automatic Installation: When installing the latest Logistics version, COSMO Mobile Solution and COSMO Text Module are automatically installed, regardless of the client's license for those apps. However, Logistics can be used independently.
- Activation Triggers:
- COSMO Logistics app has an activation trigger in the new version,which will be set to active automatically when converting from the old product.
- COSMO Text Module features within COSMO Logistics will have an activation trigger, so without a valid license, a client will not see the text module features within COSMO Logistics.
- COSMO Mobile Solution does not have an activation trigger, but the setup and configuration are done in a completely different area not interfering with other BC functional areas. When COSMO Logistics is being installed, several Mobile Logistics web services pages are being installed, which can be used within Mobile Solution, but only after proper configuration.
- Exclusions: New version of COSMO Logistics does not inlcude:
- rapid start configuration package
- specific Logistics roles and permission sets
- specific Logistics menus
Features no longer offered
- Delivery Tolerances:
- Transferred to the new version but not functioning properly.
- Decision made to discontinue this feature due to overlapping functionality in COSMO AMP, awaiting a new product for delivery and quality tolerances.
- Warehouse Bundles:
- Fields related to warehouse bundles marked as obsolete.
- To be replaced with packing unit management functionality.
- No migration plan for existing warehouse bundles into packing units.
Differences
- differences in handling shipping units and loading documents in the new version.
- connection between the standard table Warehouse Activity Line and table CCS LOG Whse. Activity is different, but this should not affect the functionality itself.
Special attention reagrding upgrading (Plan for time)
- Prepared Upgrade Toolkit:
- Developed for the Utz project; may require fine-tuning for other projects.
- Within Logistics, there are additional quantity-related fields in the warehouse entry table.
- After installing the new versions app, it is required to recalculate these fields for all existing entries, but this can take a long time to complete. In case the existing entries are being converted 1 on 1, this update is not really needed (all it would do is calculating the same value that has been converted) and it is suggested to run it only for newly created items/entries between conversion and Logistics app installation.
- Recently the feature Logistics bin areas was phased out.
- If a client is using this in the old version they can use the standard location zones instead, but they need to be on BC23 to be able to use zones in a basic warehousing configuration.
- This might be an issue for on-prem clients not going for the newest BC version.

Setup

- A migration tool for transitioning from the NAV version to BC is not available.
- According to the product management's perspective, there is no need for such a tool since there are no documents that require migration.
