We've added user alerts to inform you about your Machine Learning subscription usage. When your ML Forecast Tier consumption exceeds 90% or reaches 100%, you will see a pop-up message, and the Business Node Owner will receive an email notification.

The days on hand calculation for safety stock has been enhanced to account for the "Use Working Days Only" setting.

Previously, the calculation used a fixed 28-day time horizon, including weekends.

Now, if the "Use Working Days Only" setting is enabled for your business node, the calculation will only use working days.

We have resolved an issue where the "Total Inserted Rows" in Data Upload Error Logs displayed negative values. Negative values will no longer appear.

We have resolved an issue with the feature that considers operation progress when only partial quantities have been produced in an open operation. Previously, if an open operation was partially completed, DemandCaster would not properly remove the corresponding quantity from the dependent demand in requirement planning.
