When user prepares journal lines for consumption reversal on Production and Consumption Journal, field "Applies-from Entry No." is not automatically populated, which causes costing issue. The functionality enables that Applies-from Entry No. field is automatically suggested when posting negative consumption. A suggestion is made by an algorithm that mimics usual user behavior when populating this field manually.
Same principle is used to populate field Apply/to Entry No. when preparing Output reversal.
Both functionalities improves production costing accuracy and user experience, because a need to populate fiels manually is reduced.
