Extensible Inventory Dimensions


The below post describes the changes in more detail.

I believe we can workaround the field name by using unique class and method names as shown in the example. 

Currently we have 15 dimensions in standard and MS is adding 10 more fields bringing the total to 25. In future, MS has scope to add 7 more dimensions as there is a limitation now to work only with 32 dimensions because the InventDimFixed edit is a 32 bit type.

The real development work will be when you need to merge dimension changes from more than 2 ISVs.

This solution from MS can't be considered a complete solution unless we get rid of the macros used in the select statements and bring in a better way of extending those select statements, probably using the query framework and extensions for framework.
