Introduction

Completed

In the Procurement and sourcing module in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, you create purchasing policies to control the purchasing process. Additionally, you identify suppliers, onboard suppliers as new vendors, maintain vendor information, create agreements with your vendors, order items and services, maintain purchase orders, and confirm receipt of products. After vendor transactions are processed through Accounts payable, you can also analyze spending and vendor performance.

This module examines each step of the procurement and sourcing processes that apply to the procure-to-purchase process.
