Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management: Procurement - Manage supplier relationships with Supplier Engagement

The new Supplier Engagement application gives you a Microsoft Power Apps experience that integrates with Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and Dynamics 365 Finance. With this app, you can manage both strategic and tactical areas of your supplier relationships. You can schedule appointments, track performance, schedule supplier reviews, and manage prospective suppliers who aren't registered yet.

The experience also includes a supplier-facing portal based on Microsoft Power Pages. The new supplier portal supports many facets of the supplier relationship, ranging from tactical to operational and transactional aspects. It helps new suppliers onboard and enables existing suppliers to engage with your company through transactions such as requests for quotation (RFQs), managed bidding, purchase orders, and invoices. The supplier portal works with the existing vendor collaboration capabilities in Supply Chain Management.

Business Value:

With the Supplier Engagement app, procurement professionals can manage supplier relationships for all legal entities from one workspace. Procurement professionals can view supplier performance, schedule appointments, and manage many other aspects of their supplier relationships. A new supplier portal gives suppliers a better experience when onboarding and engaging with procurement professionals. The portal supports collaboration throughout the relationship, including during requests for quotation, purchase ordering, and invoicing.
