Business value

Every day, businesses receive many purchase order responses (often including changes) that purchasing agents must manually manage and accept. It can take time for agents to research the relevant impact information and collaboration with other stakeholders. As a result, agents may become overwhelmed and fail to fully understand and identify the impact of changes. This can lead to suboptimal decisions and failure to prevent the ripple effects of changes. Microsoft Copilot in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management uses AI to help prevent these issues by making purchase order changes easier to overview and manage.

Feature details

Copilot summarizes purchase order changes as they arrive in responses from vendors. It helps purchasing agents make better decisions by summarizing the downstream impact of changes, such as by identifying which planned downstream sales, production, or maintenance work orders won't be able to start as planned due to changed delivery dates. This release is available in the United States and Europe and supports major languages.
