Practical Microsoft Dynamics expertise across manufacturing, distribution, retail, warehousing, logistics, automotive, energy and project-driven operations.
Your supply chain should work as one connected system
Many operational problems do not begin in the warehouse or on the factory floor. They begin much earlier — watch where they actually start.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management supports end-to-end processes spanning product information, planning, procurement, inventory, sales, manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, asset management and costing — positioned for manufacturers, distributors, retailers and other product-centric organisations requiring connected and resilient operations.

Which Supply Chain Challenge Are You Solving?
Platform Capabilities
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Capabilities
01
Product Information Management
A reliable supply chain begins with reliable product data.
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management can help manage:
Product definitions
Released products
Product variants
Product dimensions
Units of measure
Product categories
Bills of materials
Formulas
Routes
Product attributes
Barcodes
Storage and tracking dimensions
Batch and serial controls
Product lifecycle states
Engineering-related product structures where applicable
Urewa's Item-Master Principle
The item master should not be treated as an IT data-entry form. We define:
Who requests a new product
Who approves it
Which fields are mandatory
Which values are inherited
How duplicate products are prevented
When an item can be purchased, produced or sold
How changes are controlled
How products are released across legal entities
Which attributes are required for planning, warehousing, quality and reporting
Poor product governance creates problems in every downstream process.

How We Design
The Urewa Supply Chain Design Principles
Master Data Before Automation
We stabilise product, vendor, customer, location, route and planning data before introducing complex automation.
Complete Process, Not Isolated Transactions
A purchase order is not complete until receipt, invoice, settlement, cancellation and return scenarios have been considered.
Exception-Driven Operations
Users should focus on exceptions such as shortages, delays, mismatches and quality failures — not manually review every normal transaction.
Physical and Financial Alignment
Inventory movements, receipts, production consumption and shipment activities must generate understandable financial consequences.
Standards First, Extensions with Purpose
We use standard Dynamics 365 functionality wherever it fits. Extensions are introduced only when the business value and long-term ownership are clear.
Design for Real Quantities
We test partial quantities, over-deliveries, under-deliveries, split receipts, reversals, cancellations, returns and rework — not only perfect full-quantity transactions.
Integration with Reconciliation
Every interface requires monitoring, duplicate control, error handling, reprocessing and transaction reconciliation.
Real-World Patterns
Representative Supply Chain Scenarios
01
Item-Master Transformation
Challenge
Products have inconsistent names, units, categories, dimensions and planning settings across entities.
Cleaner purchasing, planning, production, inventory and reporting processes.
02
Quantity-Based Procurement Milestones
Challenge
A purchase-order line has multiple payment milestones, but advances should be released only for the quantity that has reached the required stage — if only 20 of 70 units are dispatched, the eligible advance should relate only to those 20 units.
Urewa approach
Connect the project or WBS requirement, purchase-order line, milestone definition, eligible quantity, advance request, approval, vendor invoice and remaining milestone balance.
Expected outcome
Better control over vendor advances and clearer visibility of milestone liabilities.
03
Manufacturing Visibility
Challenge
Production status, consumption, output, scrap and delays are reported after the event.
Urewa approach
Connect planning, production orders, material picking, job reporting, quality checks, finished-goods receipt and production variance analysis.
Expected outcome
Earlier visibility of production problems and more reliable inventory and costing information.
04
Mobile Warehouse Execution
Challenge
Warehouse transactions are recorded on paper and entered into the system later.
Urewa approach
Configure barcode-supported receiving, put-away, picking, replenishment, counting and loading using role-specific mobile menus.
Expected outcome
Improved transaction timeliness, traceability and warehouse control.
05
Supplier Collaboration and Performance
Challenge
Purchase-order confirmations, expected delivery dates and supplier issues are managed through disconnected emails.
Urewa approach
Define supplier communication, confirmation, delivery tracking, quality and performance processes using Dynamics 365 and appropriate integration or collaboration tools.
Expected outcome
Better visibility of supply risk and supplier commitments.
06
Global Supply Chain Template
Challenge
Every legal entity follows a different purchasing, inventory and warehouse process.
Urewa approach
Create global process principles, common master data, standard approval rules and controlled localisation or operational exceptions.
Expected outcome
Greater consistency without ignoring legitimate local requirements.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management?
It is a cloud business application that connects product information, planning, procurement, inventory, sales, manufacturing, warehousing, transportation and asset-management processes.
Is Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management suitable for manufacturing?
Yes. It supports production structures, routes, resources, production orders, material consumption, shop-floor reporting, costing and related quality and warehouse processes. The exact fit depends on the organisation's manufacturing model and operational complexity.
Yes. Products can use inventory and tracking dimensions that support batch, serial and other traceability requirements.
What is the difference between Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management?
Dynamics 365 Finance focuses primarily on financial management, accounting, budgeting, cash, assets, tax and financial reporting. Supply Chain Management focuses on products, planning, procurement, inventory, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics and maintenance. Organisations frequently implement them together to connect physical operations with financial outcomes.
Can Dynamics 365 integrate with external warehouse or manufacturing systems?
Yes. Integrations can use APIs, data entities, business events, Dataverse, Power Platform, Azure services, files or middleware. The best architecture depends on transaction volume, timing and exception requirements.
Can Urewa improve an existing Dynamics 365 SCM implementation?
Yes. Urewa can assess master data, planning, procurement, inventory, manufacturing, warehousing, integrations, customisations and reporting, and then create an improvement roadmap.
How long does a Supply Chain Management implementation take?
Duration depends on the number of entities, sites, warehouses, manufacturing processes, integrations, reports, customisations and migration requirements. A timeline should be established after detailed discovery.
Does Urewa provide support after go-live?
Yes. Urewa provides functional support, technical support, incident resolution, enhancements, user training, release assessment and managed services.
