Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management: Procurement - Manage supplier relationships with Supplier Engagement

A new Supplier Engagement Power Apps application is launching for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management that enables centralized supplier relationship management with a supplier-facing Power Pages portal. This adds new procurement capabilities including appointment scheduling, performance tracking, and supplier onboarding, requiring admin configuration and user adoption planning.

Action required: Admins should evaluate the new Supplier Engagement application and plan enablement for procurement users and suppliers; test the supplier portal integration with existing vendor collaboration capabilities before full rollout.
