[Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2026-04-01 · 17:29 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus) ## Overview A 17-minute overview from the Business Central team covering supply chain features in the 2026 release wave 1, from procurement through production and distribution. Chapters cover quality management, drop shipment, purchase order matching, document management, journal approvals, product information, manufacturing and subcontracting. Several features are demoed, including drop shipment purchase creation, purchase order matching, sending posted sales documents, journal batch approvals, item tracking on output journals and subcontracting. Subcontracting is described as arriving later in the season, not on April 1-2. ## Key points - Drop shipment: more ways to create purchase documents for drop shipment sales documents, a new drop shipment toggle on lines created from Create Purchase Order, more flexible posting order (post receipt and invoice without waiting for the customer invoice), and undo support. - Purchase order matching: invoices received before goods can be linked to purchase orders, one invoice line can link to multiple orders and receipts, and posting can mark the order as received. A setting controls this per document, since not all documents allow these scenarios. - Get receipt lines now support filters on vendor order, vendor shipment and vendor item number fields; similar filtering is added for get shipment and service shipment lines. - Approvals now cover item journals and requisition worksheets through workflow templates, for batches only and not lines (performance). Also usable via Power Automate. - Item tracking works on manufacturing output journals. With serial tracking, explode routing splits the last output operation into journal lines with quantity one each. - WIP posting no longer needs a blank-location line in inventory posting setup. Capacity entries post using the production order line location, allowing a different WIP account per location. - Purchase quotes can be created without a vendor (contact still required). The vendor is created on conversion to an order, which needs a vendor template. ## Chapters - [0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=0s) Introduction to Supply Chain Management - [0:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=56s) Quality Management Extension - [1:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=102s) Drop Shipment Process Enhancements - [3:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=217s) Purchase Order Matching and Filters - [5:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=342s) Document Management Enhancements - [7:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=445s) Approval Workflows for Journals - [8:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=508s) Product Information Management - [9:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=570s) Manufacturing and Production Enhancements - [14:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=850s) Subcontracting Capabilities - [16:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=1007s) Closing Remarks and Resources ## Features | Feature | Status | At | Evidence | |---|---|---|---| | Quality Management Extension | status not stated | [0:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=56s) | | | Drop Shipment Process Enhancements | status not stated, demoed | [1:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=102s) | | | Purchase Order Matching | status not stated, demoed | [3:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=217s) | | | Filter Support for Get Receipt Lines | status not stated | [5:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=305s) | | | Sending Posted Sales Documents | status not stated, demoed | [5:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=354s) | | | Purchase Quote without Vendor | status not stated | [6:08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=368s) | | | Service Order Creation by Item Toggle | status not stated | [6:57](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=417s) | | | Approval Workflows for Item Journals and Requisition Worksheets | status not stated, demoed | [7:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=445s) | | | Item Statistics with Copilot Summarization | status not stated | [8:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=508s) | | | Item Variants with Pictures and Attributes | status not stated | [9:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=559s) | | | Description Two Field in BOM and Routings | status not stated | [9:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=570s) | | | Routing Status Change Notification | status not stated | [10:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=625s) | | | Item Tracking on Manufacturing Journals | status not stated, demoed | [11:08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=668s) | | | Work In Progress Account Posting Improvement | status not stated | [12:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=750s) | | | Subcontracting Production Support | announced, demoed | [14:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=850s) | "It's not something you can see on April 1st or 2nd because it will be uh become available later in the season" ([14:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqjb_gsXqM8&t=861s)) | ## AL objects mentioned As heard in the captions.
