Feature details
Procurement organizations were able to leverage the external catalogs cXML protocol in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations version 7.2. Due to different vendor systems, setting up and testing external catalogs can involve some troubleshooting. With the new catalog enhancements, the procurement organization can enable the logging feature that captures common issues that might require changes to external catalog parameters.
We're adding additional support to allow the return of the SupplierPartIAuxiliary ID from the shipping basket and to capture it on the purchase requisition and the related purchase order. This identification is used by some suppliers to represent a unique configuration for an item.
