Explore the most frequently asked questions about Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and the value this solution brings to your business.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is a cloud-based ERP solution that unifies all supply chain processes—including manufacturing, distribution, procurement, and warehouse management—into a single platform. It leverages artificial intelligence and IoT technologies to maximize overall supply chain visibility, velocity, and resilience.
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is primarily an enterprise cloud-based (SaaS) solution running on Microsoft Azure. However, for specific cases involving data sovereignty, localized warehouse requirements, or strict legal regulations, on-premise and hybrid edge deployment architectures are fully supported.
Yes, Dynamics 365 offers robust standard data migration frameworks (Data Management Framework). Bill of Materials (BOMs), historical inventory journals, vendor ledgers, customer accounts, and master transaction records can be securely and completely migrated to the new system.
Absolutely. Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management operates with localization packages fully compliant with Turkish statutory legislation. Critical fulfillment and financial components—such as e-Waybill (e-İrsaliye), e-Invoice (e-Fatura), e-Archive, and related e-Transformation processes—are managed directly and natively within the system.
Yes, the solution features a native, out-of-the-box integration across the Microsoft enterprise ecosystem.
