Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

To be able to switch off the need for Quality Control on Item / Supplier combination after x sampled pieces, there should be some kind of expiration quantity on the Quality Association which makes it possible to set up Quality Control for the first x received pieces. So expiration of the association not only on date, but also on qty tested.

It's a common practice for the maintenance engineer to capture and attach images of the asset to the work orders as evidence of certain actions.

Right now, it's only possible to view attached images on the app with no option to create a new attachment, it would be great to add such an option like what we currently have in the maintenance request.

When creating a purchase order for a specific warehouse and then attempting to create an item arrival journal for a different warehouse, the system currently blocks this action due to insufficient transactions with the status ordered/registered on both the UI and the warehouse mobile app. It would be beneficial to have a feature that allows for changing the inbound warehouse, as shipping containers may need to be rerouted to different warehouses based on various business factors.

It's quite frequent in certain industries with high volume/low unit prices, to have a rebate agreement based on quantities. The rebate management amount needs to be precise (up to 4 digits) - 0.1255$ per unit sold for exemple.

This new features would allow to setup a rounding precisions in the Rebate Management Parameters, where we can define how many decimals places we'd like to have in the Rebate Management amount field.

Title: 

Improve Overview Costing Accuracy After Changing Indirect Cost Rate for Production Orders

Description:

an issue in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations where the overview costing becomes incorrect after changing the indirect cost rate for production orders. This issue has been acknowledged by the D365 Product group engineers and marked as "by design" (Issue 793402). The problem arises because the system recalculates costs based on the most recent price during inventory closing, and it is unable to distinguish the actual price used at the exact historical time point.

Problem:

When the indirect cost rate for production orders is changed, the overview costing does not reflect the accurate costs. This discrepancy can lead to incorrect financial reporting and decision-making, as the recalculated costs do not match the historical prices used at the time of production.

Remarks:

The current design recalculates costs based on the most recent price during inventory closing, which does not account for the actual price used at the historical time point. This limitation affects the accuracy of cost reporting and can cause confusion for users relying on precise cost data.

Proposed Solution:

propose an enhancement to the costing mechanism in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations to ensure that the overview costing accurately reflects the historical prices used at the time of production. This could involve storing and referencing the actual prices used at specific historical points, rather than relying solely on the most recent price during inventory closing.

Benefits:

• Improved accuracy in cost reporting
• Enhanced financial decision-making based on precise cost data
• Reduced confusion and errors in financial statements

It must be possible to assign a priority to customers and / or sales orders that is inherited to the pegged / marked production orders where the priority is also inherited to the components (semi-finished) and raw materials of the production order. Semi-finished should be scheduled according to this priority and raw materials must be allocated by priority of the production orders.

Planning optimization considers capacities and item availabilty. Production sequence is sorting planned production orders without considering capacities and item availabilty. The result is not usable, when having limited item availabity. Sequence planning must be an integrative part of planning optimization.

It is a common requirement to produce items in a order to optimize setup times. Please vote for it.

Currently for inventory/movement Journals, when they are POSTED the attachment icon is greyed out. We need it to remain available after the Journal has been posted- (as per the companies record retention policy Certificate of Destruction documents for vendor recycle should be stored in D365 as attachments to the write-off journal(HPE business term- same as inventory adjustment journal). We typically do not receive these in the same month that the journal was built, therefore journals are posted and we are then unable to store the attachments.

In the Asset Management module, it is possible to automatically create a pending asset record when a purchase order is placed for an asset item, but there is no matching functionality for production orders. Some businesses have an asset-centric process where they will produce assets and then install and maintain them at customer locations, so the ability to convert a production order to an asset would help streamline this process.

In 10.0.43, a new feature is introduced to 'Keep pegging for approved planned orders'. This feature helps in MTO scenario's. This feature would need to be extended to also 'Keep pegging for firmed orders' because pegging might change after running planning optimization again after firming. Next to that, the parameter should be set on the master plan and/or coverage group and/or Item coverage as the requested behaviour might be different depending on the item coverage group (Similar to the other MTO parameters 'Use latest possible supply')

Following scenario shows why keeping the pegging also for firmed orders can be useful:

1. Create 2 salesorders for the same product, to 'Produce'
2. SO1 with delivery date 13 March, qty of 10
3. SO2 with delivery date 14 March, qty of 2
4. Negative days is set to 2, coverage for the product is 'Requirement'
5. Run Planning optimization, you will get 2 planned production orders, one for each SO
6. That's fine for MTO :-)
7. Firm the planned order associated with SO2, so for a production order of 2 pcs
8. Now run Planning Optimization again, you will get
9. Planned PO for 8 pcs, pegged to SO1
10. Planned PO for 2 pcs, pegged to SO2
11. Set negative days to 0 and set the delivery date of SO1 to the same date as SO2, run planning optimization
12. Planned PO for 8 pcs, pegged to SO1
13. Planned PO for 2 pcs, pegged to SO2

So, even if planning optimization has proposed a dedicated production order for SO2, this is not maintained after firming as then, the firmed production order becomes 'Existing supply' and it becomes pegged to the SO1 instead of 'Keeping it pegged to the SO2' for which it was intended (by the planner). It becomes perhaps even more complex when the production order gets RAF'ed because then we have 'on-hand'. Then the other settings about 'Consume on-hand inventory' and 'Use latest possible supply' come into play as well to influence pegging so the 'Keep pegging for firmed orders' may need to be integrated with those to as an additional option.

'Marking' when firming can solve this but only if there is no 'cut' in the supply chain between the SO and the Production order. Keeping the pegging should be configurable as we understand that it may be conflicting with the 'optimization' of the supply chain. In our situation, there's a transfer order in between (to bring finished goods from production to DC) that we don't firm for operations reasons, so we can't 'mark'.
