The pressure is real.
In today’s global market, the cost of poor quality is not just reputational damage—it's an expensive disaster.
According to the American Society for Quality (ASQ), poor quality costs US businesses approximately $2 trillion annually.
As regulatory demands tighten and customer expectations skyrocket, companies can no longer treat quality compliance as an afterthought.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is evolving rapidly to become that intelligent compliance ally. With version 10.0.44, Microsoft has rolled out public preview features that redefine how businesses implement and maintain quality compliance with Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
Let’s explore these transformative capabilities—and how organizations can unlock their full value.
Why Quality Compliance Should Be Your Top Priority in 2025
According to Gartner, 80% of manufacturing leaders believe that digitized quality management will be a major differentiator by 2026.
With regulatory environments tightening across pharma, food & beverage, and electronics, it's not just about defect detection—it's about defect prevention, traceability, and customer confidence.
Yet, the real challenge lies not just in setting up processes—but in ensuring consistent compliance and real-time adaptability across the supply chain.

Traditional systems often fall short due to:
- Siloed quality data
- Paper-based batch records
- Inconsistent CAPA tracking
- Lack of supplier collaboration
This is where quality compliance in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management steps up.

Deep Dive: Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) in D365 SCM
CAPA is at the heart of a resilient quality management solution. With structured workflows now integrated into Dynamics 365, businesses can:
- Track the main cause of defects or failures.
- Define action plans with proper timelines and ownership.
- Track completion with electronic signatures.
- Analyze any kind of recurring patterns across operations.
For industries like pharma or electronics, this structured traceability is important for FDA and ISO compliance.
Skip Lot Sampling + Flexible Triggers = Smarter Testing
Why test 100% of shipments if quality is already consistent? The new flexible sampling feature allows D365 users to:
- Reduce sampling ratios based on historic test data.
- Skip testing for trusted vendors or repeat batches.
- Trigger testing during transfer orders or customer returns, not just receipts.
It’s intelligent testing—only when it’s needed.
EBR: Electronic Batch Records That Talk to the Entire Supply Chain
Goodbye, binders and paper printouts. With Electronic Batch Records, you can:
- Digitally capture work instructions, test results, and batch attributes.
- Securely manage versions and modifications.
- Makes the use of electronic signatures for all the stages of production.
- Ensure GMP and FDA compliance seamlessly.
For industries bound by Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and FDA CFR 21 Part 11, this is a game-changer.
Test Instrument Calibration: From Guesswork to Assurance
Inaccurate test equipment leads to inaccurate decisions. The new feature allows D365 to track:
- Calibration schedules based on time or usage.
- Compliance reporting with automatic reminders.
- Audit trails for every calibration activity.
No more spreadsheets. No more missed calibrations.
Certificates of Analysis: Now Customized for Each Customer
Instead of sending generic COAs, manufacturers can now:
- Embed custom fields per customer request.
- Auto-generate COAs when packing slips are printed.
- Meet client-specific documentation needs with minimal manual work.
This isn’t just compliance—it’s a customer experience upgrade.
Role-Based Electronic Signatures: Compliance, Built-In
Electronic signatures are now more robust in Dynamics 365. They now cover:
- Validation of quality orders
- Test result approvals
- CAPA closures
- Instrument calibrations
- Production material dispensing
Plus, you can configure signature rules (password complexity, expiration, multi-step approvals) based on compliance guidelines.
A Quick Example:
Imagine a food manufacturing company receiving a batch of raw materials. With Dynamics 365 SCM:
- A Quality Order auto-generates.
- Samples are tested following FDA standards.
- If contamination is detected, the batch is instantly quarantined.
- Non-conformance is logged, and corrective actions are assigned and tracked — all within the system.
This seamless orchestration not only ensures safer products but keeps companies audit-ready 24/7.
