Component supply method on BOM lines

Area: Supply chain. Status: GA. Developer relevance: high. Airtime: 2 min across 1 video, demoed.

Status evidence

  • Nothing said about status; launch event convention: generally available unless stated otherwise.

Where they talk about it

Quotes

  • 4:42 "I will get it on vendor location, like the place where subcontracting will be happening, differently." - Describes the consignment at vendor supply method, which avoids an extra transfer.
  • 5:35 "I will specify that it's vendor supplied. I will get it from this vendor." - Shows how a vendor-supplied component is handled and still counted in finished good cost.

Prerequisites mentioned

  • Subcontracting app installed

Documented features match

  • Set up and explore subcontracting more easily - medium confidence (override). Docs say: General availability, roadmap id 573353. Re-check of 2026-10-02 against the full what's new text (the matching step only saw the first 220 characters): "open the related pages to set up work centers, vendors, locations, subcontractor prices, component supply methods, and supporting documentation."
  • Product documentation: Manage components in subcontracting, checked 2026-10-02. Set the method in the production BOM (for master data) or directly on components in released production orders. Methods: Vendor-Supplied, Consignment at Vendor, Transfer to Vendor. Note: Subcontracting app shipped in 2026 release wave 1 (GA 2026-07-08); article documents the app, not specifically wave 2.

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
