Supply chain management in Business Central effectively supports companies in optimizing their processes and increasing overall efficiency. It provides numerous functions that cover a wide range of requirements – from procurement and production to sales and logistics. These SCM functionalities have been expanded once again in the latest version.
Dynamics 365 Business Central offers comprehensive procurement management capabilities, including sales, purchasing, accounting, inventory and warehouse management, project management, service orders, and manufacturing. These features are further developed with each new version to enable even more efficient work. The current release also brings several new features around supply chain management.
Sort lines by type in sales and purchasing postings
A new function will enable better parallel processing for inventory postings in the future. Until now, Business Central has processed sales and purchasing document lines strictly according to their line number order. If the new simultaneous inventory posting is activated, lines will now be processed by type (and line number). When two sessions are running simultaneously, resources are locked in the same order to avoid deadlocks. Otherwise, the process of posting sales and purchase documents remains unchanged. However, the change may affect extensions that are based on an expected value in the next or previous line.
Add additional fields and columns by personalizing pages
Companies and users often need different specific information to efficiently complete their processes. With personalization in Business Central, the desired information can be customized on pages by adding additional fields or columns from a defined list. The new version now offers even more fields and columns to choose from when adding pages. This gives users more control over the information displayed and allows them to work more effectively with the data relevant to their own business processes.
An overview of all new fields and columns can be found at Microsoft.
