Dynamics 365 Business Central: Supply Chain Management - Use inventory put-aways and picks for subcontracting

🚨 The Signal: Dynamics 365 Business Central now integrates subcontracting into standard inventory put-away and pick processes. This streamlines supply chain operations but introduces new data flows for work-in-process and finished goods, potentially impacting data integrity and access controls.

The Impact

Supply chain and production teams are affected, with a moderate risk to data integrity and access control if not properly managed.

• Supply Chain Managers: Risk of incorrect inventory records if processes are not configured correctly.
• Production Teams: Risk of unauthorized access to work-in-process data if permissions are not reviewed.
• Security Teams: Need to validate data segregation and access controls for new subcontracting workflows.
• Compliance Officers: Potential for audit findings if inventory data integrity is compromised.

The Action

1. Review existing Dynamics 365 Business Central security roles and permissions related to inventory management.
2. Assess data classification for subcontracting purchase lines and WIP transfer orders.
3. Update data loss prevention (DLP) policies to account for new inventory data flows.
4. Conduct a security audit of the new subcontracting inventory processes to ensure data integrity and confidentiality.
5. Train relevant staff on the secure handling of subcontracting and WIP inventory data.
