subcontracting

The subcontracting tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of how Microsoft business software handles outsourced production and vendor-performed work. The most recent example covers Dynamics 365 Business Central 29, where Microsoft added inventory put-aways and picks for subcontracting so manufacturers using simple, order-by-order warehousing can process subcontracted work through the same warehouse flows they already use for purchases and transfers. The roadmap entry, listed as launched with general availability in October 2026 for the Worldwide standard multi-tenant cloud on the web client, illustrates the narrow, incremental ERP changes that matter to warehouse and manufacturing teams. Expect coverage of Business Central features, roadmap timing, and warehouse operations tied to subcontracting.
