Cost layer and To Cost Layer columns in Transfers annoying/unecessary PLEASE UN-update

With the latest update I am now required to enter the “Cost Layer” column and “To Cost Layer” column for transfers to projects as either Normal or Project. I cannot imagine how requiring this field helps anyone.

 

The cost layer was formerly IMPLIED by entering the actual origin in the Project column and the destination To Project column. It seems to me that the only thing these columns do is limit you from selecting the project you want unless you select “Project”.

 

No one is asking for even more tedious columns per line item. I already am required to enter the task and cost code for every line, without being given the option of having a default task and project per stock item. Now I have TWO MORE columns that I didn't ask for, it just slows down entry across the board, and that’s all I can see these columns accomplishing for me.

This is most likely due to the new projects feature “Project Specific Inventory”.  I would recommend posting this as an Acumatica idea, it is possible that this dropdown selector could default based on the projects inventory settings and allow for override as necessary.
