Business value

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management supports large organizations that manage many different sites and warehouses. As a result, the system makes use of site and warehouse information when querying inventory, adjusting inventory, making soft reservations, and making allocations. In some business scenarios (such as in-store sales), users know and use warehouse information. However, in other scenarios (such as e-commerce, in-basket reservations), users may need to query or update inventory at the product level, without having accurate warehouse information. This feature allows the Inventory Visibility service for Supply Chain Management to support business scenarios both where users know the site and warehouse and where they don't.

Feature details

This feature allows users to query, post, soft reserve, and allocate inventory through the Inventory Visibility service either with or without specifying a site and warehouse.

The Inventory Visibility service API now supports two options for querying or updating inventory data:

  • Specify organization ID and product ID, plus other relevant inventory and tracking dimensions.
  • Specify organization ID, product ID, site ID, and warehouse ID, plus other relevant inventory and tracking dimensions.

System administrators can configure the required data hierarchy using preference settings in Inventory Visibility.
