Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is delivering regular updates that strengthen the operational foundations of the supply chain without disrupting existing processes.
The 10.0.46 release reflects Microsoft’s ongoing focus on improving reliability, traceability, planning accuracy, and execution efficiency across end-to-end supply chain operations. Rather than introducing disruptive changes, this release concentrates on refining core capabilities that organizations rely on every day, from inventory visibility and warehouse execution to pricing, production, and asset oversight.
In this blog, we walk through the verified capabilities and enhancements included in the Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management 10.0.46 release and explain what they mean in practical terms for enterprise supply chains.
Overview of features included in this release.
Inventory and logistics
Dynamics 365 SCM 10.0.46 enhances traceability by introducing tracking attributes in data collection records. Managers can attach configurable measurement data (e.g. temperature or inspection results) to serial or batch numbers. They can then query these attributes to identify all impacted items. For example, the system can list all product serials created in a date range where a recorded reading (like painting temperature) fell below a threshold. This capability greatly speeds up root-cause analysis and recall processes by linking deviations to specific products.
Inventory and warehouse management
SCM 10.0.46 adds powerful quality control features. It introduces sample management, allowing manufacturers to define sampling plans and inspection frequencies for production batches. For example, you can specify testing every 10th batch and automatically block the rest until a quality order passes. Additionally, the update links Asset Management with test instrument calibration. Each instrument can be modeled as an asset with a maintenance plan, and test instrument tags act as digital twins storing calibration history and usage data. These tools help ensure consistent product quality and reduce compliance risk by keeping a full record of calibration and inspection results.
Omnichannel commerce
The 10.0.46 update enhances Dynamics 365 Commerce pricing. Retailers can now define custom pricing attributes for products and customers in Commerce headquarters. Through the Commerce Scale Unit (CSU), these attributes are shared with point-of-sale and online store channels, enabling flexible channel-specific pricing without heavy customization. For example, a loyalty status flag could automatically apply a discounted price at checkout. This improvement enhances pricing flexibility and customer targeting across POS and e-commerce channels.
Sales and marketing
Unified pricing in SCM 10.0.46 has been enhanced to work without a sales order. The system can now calculate customer- and volume-specific prices and discounts on demand. This speeds up quote generation and integrations by returning real-time pricing without creating an order. In practice, supplying the product, quantity, and customer details triggers immediate price and discount calculations, enabling sales teams to provide faster, more accurate quotes and streamline customer engagement.
Feature enhancements in this release
In addition to new features, version 10.0.46 includes many incremental enhancements that refine existing capabilities. These tweaks generally require little or no configuration but improve usability and accuracy. The sections below describe the key enhancements by functional area.
Asset management
SCM 10.0.46 allows administrators to add comments whenever an asset changes its lifecycle state. Each time an asset (or its work order) moves to a new status, users can enter a remark for that transition. This audit-friendly feature helps maintenance teams document why assets were started, paused, or retired. With comments tied to state changes, organizations gain better visibility into asset history and maintenance decisions, improving accountability in asset management.
Inventory and warehouse management
Several refinements improve inventory workflows. On a test instrument’s calibration record, the “Assign calibration tools” menu is renamed “Calibration tools” and stays enabled even after the calibration is closed. Selecting it on a closed record shows which tools were used for that instrument, simplifying audit and traceability. The update also allows consolidating inventory transactions on open periods for standard cost or moving-average items. In practice, this means companies can reconcile stock without performing a formal inventory close.
Master planning
In Master Planning, Demand Driven MRP calculations have been refined. The net flow calculation now uses only released demand and released supply as inputs. In other words, planned (unreleased) orders are excluded, which removes ambiguity in determining buffer zone allocations. By considering only firm demand and supply, the planning system allocates inventory more accurately to each buffer. This enhancement makes DDMRP outputs more reliable and actionable.
Production control
Several updates improve efficiency on the shop floor. Secondary operations can now auto-complete when their linked primary operation finishes], aligning operation times automatically. The production interface also lets workers view a list of required materials for each job, ensuring all components are available before starting work. Additionally, if an item is serial-tracked but permits multiples, workers can report quantities greater than one directly in the production interface. These enhancements reduce manual overhead and avoid production delays.
Sales and marketing
In Sales and Marketing, pricing performance and order entry receive tweaks. Unified pricing rule evaluation has been optimized for faster performance, which is beneficial for organizations with complex price rules. Also, users can create a new sales order directly from the navigation pane instead of first opening the sales orders list. This shortcut streamlines order entry by reducing clicks and getting orders started sooner.
Warehouse management
Warehouse processes are also enhanced. New dynamic work classification rules let organizations use Power Fx expressions to set work pools, priorities, and locations based on custom logic. Order-committed reservations are now fully supported under the “allow reservation on demand order” setting, enabling finer-grained reservation on inventory dimensions below the location. Finally, outbound shipment policies now update the original order’s delivery remainder to match the actual shipped quantity (and restore it when reversed). Together, these refinements improve reservation accuracy and reduce manual corrections in shipping.
