Serial numbers at any level in subcontracting

Serial numbers can be defined on the production order or the purchase document. Any receiving method works.

Area: Supply chain. Status: GA. Developer relevance: medium. Airtime: 1 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

  • 26:20 "the fact is you can do it on any level and you can use any receiving method you like" - Summarises the flexibility for serial number entry and receiving methods.

Caveats mentioned

  • Lot numbers were not demoed, the speaker says they work the same

Documented features match

  • Use inventory put-aways and picks for subcontracting - medium confidence (override). Docs say: General availability, roadmap id 573355. Re-check of 2026-10-02 against the full what's new text (the matching step only saw the first 220 characters): "Serial and lot tracking assigned to the production order flows to the subcontracting documents and resulting item ledger entries."
  • Product documentation (partial, the article describes the broader feature or mentions this in passing): Order subcontracting, checked 2026-10-02. If the item uses serial or lot tracking, assign or verify the tracking information for the final-operation output before you post the warehouse receipt. Intermediate operations don't support item tracking. Note: Subcontracting app shipped in 2026 release wave 1 (GA 2026-07-08); article documents the app, not specifically wave 2. Documents tracking for warehouse receipt and inventory put-away; does not state serial numbers can be defined on the purchase document at any level.

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.
