AI summaries with Copilot

AI summaries with Microsoft Copilot are available on many of the most-used pages in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. These summaries provide a quick overview of the most important information that's related to the page, personalized for the current user. Summaries can include information such as the number of lines on a purchase order, the number of items in a warehouse, or the number of overdue invoices for a vendor.

The information that Copilot provides depends on the current page and user context. For example, the information can vary based on the other pages that the user works with the most, and it's limited based on the user's security roles and permissions.

Workload insights with Copilot in the Warehouse Management mobile app

The Warehouse Management mobile app provides a workload page that shows work summaries and AI-generated insights to help warehouse workers better plan their shift. The information can include the following details:

  • The number of pick and receive work headers or work lines.
  • The number of active warehouse mobile app sessions in the warehouse.
  • Insights into the available work types.
  • The current workload. This information can be shown either as work headers or work lines.
  • Details of the available work per work type.
  • More information about the available work. Microsoft Copilot generates this information in natural language.

The following illustration shows an example of the workload page in the Warehouse Management mobile app. When workers first open the page, it shows an overview of unstarted tasks that are scheduled for the current warehouse, together with a natural-language summary that Copilot generates (left). Workers can then tap any tile to view detailed information about open work by type (right). This information helps them quickly grasp their objectives for the day.

The Released product details page includes a Summary by Copilot FastTab that shows a product summary based on the current user's most-used pages and context.

Vendor summary

The All vendors details page includes a Summary by Copilot FastTab that shows status information and insights for the selected vendor.

Purchase order summary

The All purchase orders details page includes a Summary by Copilot FastTab that shows an overview of the selected purchase order's status. For example, it shows the number of partially or fully confirmed, received, and invoiced lines. The FastTab also shows other selected insights, such as a summary of order lines that are overdue or nearly overdue.

Status summary for purchase orders

For purchase orders that aren't canceled, invoiced, or finalized, the Status section of the Summary by Copilot FastTab for purchase orders provides status details that apply across all order lines. The section provides insights into the progression of order lines in each of the following categories:

  • Not fully received – Lines where the quantity hasn't been fully registered or received.
  • Fully received, not fully invoiced – Lines where the quantity has been fully registered or received, but not yet fully invoiced.
  • Fully invoiced – Lines where the quantity has been received and fully invoiced.

As appropriate, the Status section provides buttons that let you filter the order lines according to their status. Use the filters to quickly find relevant order lines so that you can take appropriate action. Each filter is shown only when at least one order line has the indicated status. The following filter buttons might be shown:

  • Not fully received – Show only order lines where the quantity hasn't been fully registered or received.
  • Fully received, not fully invoiced – Show only order lines where the quantity has been fully registered or received, but not yet fully invoiced.
