Versioned Product Setup in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

Managing product changes and variations is a major challenge for modern supply chains. Without proper version control, companies risk manufacturing obsolete designs, wasting materials, and delaying deliveries. This text-only course guides you through the foundational concepts of setting up versioned products and engineering change management within Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. You will transition from manual tracking to a structured, automated system that maintains data integrity throughout the product lifecycle. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental terminology of product versioning and engineering change management. - Configure engineering product categories to standardize how new product versions are created. - Manage product lifecycle states to control which versions can be used in sales, purchasing, or manufacturing. - Define release rules to safely deploy versioned products to different legal entities. - Process engineering change requests and orders to track modifications systematically. - Apply modern supply chain collaboration patterns to keep engineering and operations teams aligned. The course starts with basic definitions and setup prerequisites before moving on to practical configurations, release processes, and change management workflows. Through clear written explanations, you will learn how to map real-world engineering processes to system configurations. This course is designed for beginners, functional consultants, and supply chain professionals who are new to product versioning and want to build a solid foundation without needing prior configuration experience.
