Microsoft has released a suite of quality compliance enhancements in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, now available in public preview with version 10.0.44. These features support manufacturers and distributors in navigating regulatory complexity and maintaining product quality across procurement, production, and fulfillment.
The update introduces a new quality management workspace and streamlined forms for faster, more detailed test result entry. A major addition is the Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) Management tool, which enables structured handling of non-conformities to drive process improvement and prevent recurring issues.
Flexible sampling plans now adapt inspection intensity based on testing outcomes, including skip lot sampling. New triggers for quality orders—such as transfer orders and customer returns—expand control beyond traditional checkpoints.
Instrument calibration is now managed through time- or usage-based schedules, ensuring precision and compliance. The Electronic Batch Record (EBR) feature replaces paper logs with secure digital documentation, capturing test results, ingredients, work instructions, and signatures.
Production dispensing improvements ensure safe handling of sensitive materials with features like dispensing limits and electronic signoffs. Meanwhile, the approved customer list function restricts sales of certain items to authorized customers, mirroring vendor controls.
Customization options have expanded for Certificates of Analysis (COAs), which can now reflect customer-specific data and print automatically during packing. Electronic signatures have also been extended to more compliance points, with new configuration options for secure authentication.
