The 2023 release wave 1 plan covers all new functionalities planned to be delivered to market from April 2023 to September 2023. In this article, you'll find the product overview and what's new and planned for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

Overview

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management provides capabilities for end-to-end processes that manufacturers, distributors, consumer product groups, and retailers require to meet their supply chain needs. Functionality ranges from product information management, planning, inventory, sales, and procurement to complex manufacturing, asset maintenance, warehousing, and transportation management.

Improving the agility and efficiency of front-line workers continues to be a priority in this release wave, with new and reimagined experiences for Inventory Visibility and Asset Management that simplify daily tasks and deliver actionable insights where and when needed. Warehouse management workers enjoy incremental usability and productivity enhancements in the Warehouse Management mobile app, including the added support for iOS devices.

Businesses with sales processes spanning Dynamics 365 Sales and Supply Chain Management benefit from true end-to-end process integration for improved accuracy and efficiency. Omnichannel sales strategies get a boost with new and improved ways of managing attribute-based pricing, integrated soft reservations, and improved order promising capabilities with an extended available-to-promise (ATP) horizon.

Discrete manufacturers that struggle to comply with both generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and local statutory accounting principles can now leverage the Global Inventory Accounting Add-in to supplement their statutory inventory accounting practice with parallel, standard-cost-based inventory accounting practices in multiple currencies. Manufacturers with a mix of discrete and process manufacturing processes can onboard Planning Optimization, which provides improved performance, scalability, and near-real-time insights into requirement changes.

Organizations seek increased agility and resilience through optimizing their fulfillment capabilities and warehouse operations. This release brings a simplified warehouse configuration experience that will reduce implementation time. It also provides insights into the performance and usage of the warehouse management system, which organizations can use for optimizing warehouse operations.

Inventory and logistics
The inventory and logistics capabilities of Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management enable businesses to manage their sales and fulfillment processes effectively and efficiently, while ensuring inventory availability that matches the desired service levels. Investments in this area continue to focus on helping businesses gain more visibility, efficiency, and resiliency in their supply chain operations. The enhancements in this release wave include:

  • Manage attribute-based omnichannel sales pricing to effectively plan and manage omnichannel sales prices with price attributes on customers, products, and order segments.
  • Evaluate costs in discrete manufacturing using standard cost with the Global Inventory Accounting Add-in for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
  • Calculate available to promise (ATP) up to three months in advance with Inventory Visibility. Increase visibility into your future inventory statuses and order-promising capacity. Allow for order promising with fulfillment dates further out into the future.
  • Make soft reservations for Supply Chain Management sales orders. Use Inventory Visibility to make soft reservations directly from a sales order, thereby maintaining a sole source of truth for omnichannel fulfillment and inventory inquiries.
  • A reimagined Inventory Visibility user experience lets you manage and update data more efficiently and provides near-real-time insights into current and projected inventory levels and availability.
  • Prospect-to-cash scenario enhancements across Supply Chain Management and Dynamics 365 Sales enable true end-to-end process integration in the prospect-to-cash flow. Improving the entire process from quotation to invoice helps organizations drive efficiencies in their sales and fulfillment processes, improve accuracy, and reduce lead times.
  • Archive inventory transactions and sales orders. Businesses running large databases can establish rules for archiving data from their day-to-day working environment into a data lake, which allows for historical reporting, auditing, machine learning, and more. This improves performance and usability in the day-to-day working environment while lowering operating costs.
