Business value
Procurement professionals can now manage supplier relationships for all legal entities from a single central dashboard. From there, procurement professionals can view supplier performance, schedule appointments, and manage many other aspects of their supplier relationships. A new supplier portal provides an improved experience for onboarding new suppliers and then engaging and collaborating with them throughout the relationship, including during requests for quotation, purchase ordering, and invoicing.
Feature details
The new supplier relationship management feature provides a Microsoft Power Apps experience that integrates with Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and Dynamics 365 Finance. The app lets you manage both strategic and tactical areas of your supplier relationships, including scheduling appointments, tracking performance, scheduling supplier reviews, and managing prospective suppliers that aren't registered yet.
The experience also provides a supplier-facing portal, which is based on Microsoft Power Pages. The new supplier portal supports many aspects of the supplier relationship, ranging from tactical to more operational, transactional ones. It helps new suppliers to 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 together with the existing vendor-collaboration capabilities of Supply Chain Management.
