Frequently asked questions on Supplier Engagement in Dynamics 365
It's a Microsoft Dynamics 365 solution that helps procurement teams manage supplier relationships across all legal entities from a unified workspace. It supports strategic and tactical supplier management — including onboarding, performance tracking, qualification and collaboration — and replaces the older vendor collaboration interface with broader capabilities.
A global vendor is a single party that can act as a vendor across multiple legal entities. Certifications, contacts and addresses are entered once and shared, reducing duplicate data entry. When a global vendor is qualified, you release it to a legal entity, which creates a linked local vendor account for transactions.
Global vendor data management, a self-service supplier portal built on Power Pages, guided onboarding and qualification, capability and certificate management, supplier audits with risk and corrective-action tracking, and portal collaboration on RFQs, purchase orders, invoices and consignment inventory.
Suppliers use a dedicated Microsoft Power Pages portal to self-register, onboard, respond to RFQs, participate in managed bidding, and manage transactions such as purchase orders, invoices and consignment inventory — becoming the primary channel of communication between you and your suppliers.
Supplier Engagement integrates seamlessly with Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and Dynamics 365 Finance, with two-way data synchronization. It also works with the tools your team already uses — Microsoft 365 and Power BI.
No. Supplier Engagement can run in parallel with the vendor collaboration interface during your transition, so you can adopt the new capabilities at your own pace. HSO helps you plan a smooth migration.

You receive hundreds of orders by email every day. Sometimes as a neatly structured PDF, sometimes as a semi-unreadable scan, and occasionally even as a photo of a handwritten note. And yet... There is no longer any hand involved in processing it. Sounds utopian? Nope. This is already happening.
