Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

2022 release wave 1
April 2022-September 2022

What’s new and planned

Inventory and logistics
In this release of Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, we have added several new inventory and logistics features that
can help organizations gain visibility, resiliency, and efficiency in their supply chain.
• New Global Inventory Accounting capabilities in this release wave include support for the accounting conservatism
principle, recalculation of inventory after source documents are changed, and new reporting with Power BI. Businesses
can also get started quickly by using the new step-by-step setup wizard.
• The Unified pricing service now enables businesses to apply pricing and discount rule conditions and set scalable price
attributes. Business can benefit from complex pricing rules and integrate with third-party systems to retrieve calculated
prices.
• The Inventory Visibility service empowers businesses with near real-time visibility into their inventories. This release
now enables businesses to validate fulfillment dates with an ATP check, allocate stock in advance for the most profitable
sales channels, and ensure accurate calculations of warehouse-enabled items.
• Warehouse execution workloads now provide expanded out-of-the-box capabilities for running scale units as part of a
distributed hybrid topology. In this release wave, warehouse execution workloads now provide expanded support for
inbound transfer orders, sorting for packing stations and inventory, integration with warehouse material handling
automation, and additional warehouse features for manufacturing processes.
• Paperless inbound receiving enables businesses to receive inventory using the Warehouse Management mobile app.
The app now supports advanced queries so workers can quickly find the right suppliers, purchase orders, and purchase
lines to register against when receiving goods.

Manufacturing
Businesses seeking to digitally transform and empower their production floor workforce, and increase the resilience of their
operations, require manufacturing execution processes that operate without interruption and that integrate data from both
automated and manual processes. The capabilities added in this release wave are focused on completing the modernization
of core manufacturing execution operations for improved usability and resilience.
• Add process manufacturing support across the production floor execution user experience.
• Enhance integration between manufacturing and warehouse process running on scale units to enable autonomous end-
to-end execution of production processes, from raw materials picking through finished goods put-away.
• Support continuous manufacturing and warehouse operations even when external connectivity is lost.

Planning
Planning Optimization is a game changer that enables businesses to increase their agility and enables them to respond to
volatile business environments. Near real-time tactical planning, with runtimes in minutes instead of hours, let businesses
update their tactical plans several times a day. This reduces replenishment time, reduces inventory levels, and increases
resilience in response to disruptive changes in supply and demand.
For manufacturing customers, this release wave delivers a significantly expanded industry footprint for Planning
Optimization, which provides the following benefits:
• Order takers have order-promising information right at their fingertips, even for complex, custom, make-to-order
products. End-to-end, finite-capacity planning respects internal factory constraints and helps to manage external
subcontractors.
• Manufacturers and retailers having products with limited shelf life can optimize their supply planning.
Customers looking to implement demand-driven planning practices to reduce inventory levels and improve customer service
will also benefit from the addition of full DDMRP support, as defined by the Demand Driven Institute. This builds on the
priority-based planning capabilities introduced in the previous release wave.
