Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management capabilities

Predict demand using AI and make stock decisions with priority-based supply planning in near-real time, eliminating stockouts and overstocking.

Complete material requirements and resource planning in minutes so planners can react to demand changes in near-real time, leading to faster replenishment cycles and shorter delivery lead times.

Enrich historical demand data with AI predictions powered by Microsoft Azure Machine Learning to improve forecasting for future supply levels.

Strategically position stock with stock buffers to minimise the risk for stockouts using demand-driven material requirements planning (DDMRP) to automatically generate supply orders.

Ensure that the right products are in the right place at the right time with stock allocation (preview). Get a single view of stock across channels and allocate stock for specific needs or customers.

Effectively communicate across sales, marketing, and operations using Microsoft Teams to streamline sales and operations planning.

Streamline procurement processes and improve cost management using supplier collaboration and advanced analytics to mitigate critical parts shortages.

Uncover risks to planned purchases with data about past supplier performance and product metrics such as on-time, in-full delivery rates in a comprehensive workspace.

Realise maximum cost savings by automatically applying negotiated pricing based on business-defined purchase policies.

Use a single, secure application to quickly onboard suppliers and collaborate across procurement processes such as purchase order management, request for quotation bidding, and invoicing.

Optimise your sourcing experience with punch outs to external supplier catalogues and explore more options to expedite order placement.

Effectively track supplier performance, lead times, and quality with embedded purchasing insights using built-in Microsoft Power BI templates.

Build agile manufacturing processes using the Internet of Things (IoT) and mixed reality while working with your existing manufacturing execution systems (MES).

Proactively manage the shop floor using a real-time view of production and stock to improve quality, increase throughput, and reduce downtime with a modern production-floor execution user interface (UI).

Implement sustainable and adaptable manufacturing processes using IoT and mixed reality to accelerate time to market for new products.

Incorporate data from external manufacturing execution systems (MES) to eliminate data silos, improve quality, and optimise production processes with MES integration.

Improve safety, increase efficiency, and reduce errors by using the interactive holographic experience in Dynamics 365 Guides, available in the context of the current production job.

Track costs accurately by using the Global Stock Accounting Add-in to record manufacturing expenses in multiple currencies and cost-calculation methods.

Leverage delivery alternative information such as on-hand stock and future availability data to determine the fulfilment location for on-time and sustainable deliveries.

Provide accurate stock information to customers at order entry and make reservations using real-time stock and available-to-promise (ATP) data.

Offer consistency in pricing with flexible rebate calculations, target transactions, and trade allowance–management capabilities.

Make real-time pricing calculations across multiple channels and simulate pricing scenarios based on customer, product, and channel attributes (preview).

Efficiently manage sales orders with a centralised workspace and gain real-time visibility into delayed orders.

Expedite delivery times by optimising stock, automating warehousing operations, and increasing throughput.

Help ensure accurate and efficient warehousing operations using our intuitive and customisable mobile app, available on Android, iOS, and Windows devices.

Establish new warehouses quickly with step-by-step, guided implementation wizards and the ability to copy configurations across warehouses.

Maximise fulfilment efficiency with guided, paperless picking, and pack and sort shipments from anywhere using a browser-based experience or mobile app.

Mitigate labour shortages by augmenting warehouse staff with robotic automation for material handling, with built-in connectors to multiple providers.

Gain insights into operations by consolidating data, including real-time stock visibility, carrier data, and material-handling event information, to discover efficiencies.

Perform proactive or predictive equipment maintenance to reduce downtime and improve equipment effectiveness.

Proactively manage business-critical equipment by performing all types of maintenance—predictive, corrective, condition-based, and preventative—throughout the asset lifecycle.

Enable peak equipment performance using sensor data intelligence, and use IoT-powered data to drive proactive maintenance and improve OEE.

View, schedule, and execute work orders for assets with an intuitive mobile app for asset management.

Optimise resource capacity utilisation and avoid conflicts in maintenance work and production activities for geographically dispersed assets with advanced scheduling capabilities.
