DynamicsCon 2025: Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management will strengthen quality management, traceability

To realize their ambitious AI goals for ERP, Microsoft will need to continue strengthening core software features that improve data and processes. In Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, several key enhancements and new features in 2025 release waves 1 and 2 will improve data quality and add new native capabilities and integrations for key industries.

Priorities in the upcoming release waves for D365 SCM will be to close functional gaps and improve data export and reporting, Microsoft principal solution architect Nicole Joyce told the audience at DynamicsCon 2025. 

2025 Wave 1 for D365 SCM includes release 10.0.43, which reached GA in March, and 10.0.44, which has fewer major features and will reach general availability on June 6. Version 10.0.45 will GA in 2025 Wave 2, with a planned date of September 12. 

In the area of demand forecasting, new features will be enabled by default to improve forecast accuracy, Joyce explained. Some of the capabilities include the ability to allocate demand across different dimensions for assortment planning, establish time freeze periods, and auto-detect seasonality patterns for all forecast algorithms, and the ability to define multiple input signals and choose between multiple forecast algorithms.
