Business value

Businesses integrating Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with external inventory systems typically need to synchronize inventory updates between systems, create order and journal records in Supply Chain Management, and aggregate data to optimize performance. Inventory Visibility now provides out-of-the-box functionality that supports all these operations, thereby minimizing implementation efforts while improving system performance. The resulting solution also lets you trace inventory transactions back to the original source documents and run historical inventory analyses based on the synchronized data.

Feature details

The Inventory Visibility service for Supply Chain Management now enables external systems to synchronize, aggregate, and store cross-channel inventory transactions in the Supply Chain Management inventory adjustment journal. The system now provides the following capabilities:

• Post inventory changes with all the information previously supported, and include additional information about the source document (such as document type and order number) and the target inventory adjustment journal. An Inventory Visibility service provides new API to support these operations.
• Automatically store transactions in Inventory Visibility based on your API input. These transactions can be used for inventory analysis and other business purposes.
• Set up inventory transaction aggregation rules in Inventory Visibility for synchronizing with Supply Chain Management.
