Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management: Manufacturing and asset management - Enforce same-batch selection for raw materials in production and batch orders
<p>This feature ensures that raw materials consumed by production orders and batch orders all come from the same batch. Process and discrete manufacturers can use it together with related production-control capabilities that govern how raw materials are allocated to a production order.</p> <p>Product designers and production engineers can set the same-batch requirement at the released-product level so that it applies by default everywhere the item is consumed. They can optionally fine-tune it for individual bill of materials (BOM) or formula lines where a different rule is appropriate. Production planners and warehouse workers who reserve raw materials for a production or batch order see the system automatically restrict the available on-hand inventory to a single batch per line, instead of mixing quantities from several batches. The result is the consistent, traceable, single-batch consumption pattern that's needed for quality-controlled manufacturing scenarios—without requiring operators to remember and enforce the rule manually.</p> <h3>Key capabilities available in Supply Chain Management version 10.0.49</h3> <p>Version 10.0.49 of Supply Chain Management introduces the following capabilities to support same-batch selection for raw materials in production and batch orders:</p> <ul> <li>Configure same-batch selection at the product level as a default requirement to ensure consistent raw material consumption.</li> <li>Allow overrides on formula and BOM lines to support flexibility where batch consistency requirements differ.</li> <li>Enforce same-batch reservation by ensuring raw material reservation respects the same-batch requirement defined on formula and BOM lines.</li> <li>Support traceability and control by preventing mixed-batch consumption during raw material reservation.</li> </ul> <h3>Enhancements planned for future versions of Supply Chain Management</h3> <p>Future versions of Supply Chain Management are expected to introduce additional capabilities to further enhance same-batch selection for raw materials in production and batch orders, including:</p> <ul> <li>Same-batch enforcement during master planning allocation.</li> <li>Execution validation to ensure that same-batch requirements are validated during picking and consumption for production.</li> </ul> <p>Business Value:</p> <p>Same-batch selection helps ensure consistent product quality and traceability by preventing mixed-batch consumption, reducing compliance risk, and simplifying production control.</p> <p>Enabled for:</p> <p>Enabled by admins/makers/marketers for end users</p>
