Added First In, First Out (FIFO) and First Expired, First Out (FEFO) substitution logic for batch-enabled items.

This configurable distinct item substitution strategy prioritizes the items being substituted based on earliest expiration or first-in dates. The system considers possible substitutions and returns the substitution that fits FIFO or FEFO standards.

It is important to note the batch is the determining factor and the item returned is the result. Thus, there may be several different items returned to ensure the order is fulfilled.

Added purchase order substitution functionality. This allows inbound processes to substitute a purchase order line with a different item or even multiple items.

Purchase order substitution includes an endpoint to connect to vendors and configurations in D365 Finance and Supply Chain Management. The endpoint allows vendors to pass items that will be substituted to the user’s purchase order. 

It is the customer's responsibility to add customizations to call the Order endpoint during the appropriate business processes (e.g., ASN receipt). 

Added the ability to configure item pre-allocations to set aside available inventory for customers/customer groups even when no demand exists.

The actual quantities configured are based on specific customer business scenarios (e.g., expected inbound purchase orders for a specific item). 

Pre-allocations go a step further than safety nets; they allocate inventory to anticipate demand.
