Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
Dynamics 365 for Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Management provides manufacturers, distributors, and retailers with the real-time visibility and intelligence they need for proactive operations. It unifies data and uses predictive insights from AI and IoT—across order fulfillment, planning, procurement, production, inventory, warehousing, and transportation processes—to maximize operational efficiency, product quality, and profitability. Supply Chain Management is licensed per user and has minimum purchase requirements detailed in the Product Terms.
Supply Chain Management automatically includes enough Asset Management capacity for you to manage and maintain up to 100 physical assets throughout their lifecycles. If you need additional asset capacity, you may buy more.
Additional Supply Chain Management applications and capacities
Additional Asset Management capacities are licensed per tenant. If you use Asset Management, you must license sufficient Asset Management capacity to meet or exceed the number of assets you want to manage. For example, if you have 1,500 assets to manage in Asset Management, you’ll need 14 additional asset capacity licenses. Once you’ve bought 50 Asset Management capacity licenses—enough for 5,000 assets—you may manage unlimited assets with no additional purchase.
The only assets that must be counted against these capacities are:
- Assets you want to manage with Asset Management
- Parent level assets for which you want to track maintenance, costs, and/or location
Cloud Scale Unit Add-in for Supply Chain Management
The Cloud Scale Unit for Supply Chain Management enables companies to execute mission-critical warehouse processes without interruptions. Cloud Scale Units for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management deliver on two key business objectives:
• When network latency is high and mission-critical processes must keep running.
• When throughput is high and heavy processes run in parallel, warehouse processes must still support high user productivity.
Cloud Scale Unit Add-in for Supply Chain Management is licensed per tenant and you can purchase multiple Basic or Standard Cloud Scale Units for separate scenarios like managing outbound processes at different warehouse locations. If you need more transactions than are included in the Basic or Standard Cloud Scale
