Build Stronger Supplier Relationships with Dynamics 365
Now available in public preview
Streamline the entire supplier lifecycle, from self-registration and onboarding to global vendor management, purchase orders, invoices and consignment inventory, with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supplier Engagement.
Why global supplier management remains complex?
Leads to production delays and customer dissatisfaction
It's harder to respond quickly when disruptions happen
Lengthy qualification stalls time-to-value with new suppliers
Increase the risk of human error
Build a stronger a foundation for supplier engagement
Disconnected processes and inconsistent supplier information can slow onboarding, increase risk, and limit visibility. Supplier Engagement for Microsoft Dynamics 365 helps organizations centralize supplier information, streamline supplier collaboration, and connect sourcing and procurement processes to improve operational efficiency and control.
Transform how you engage and manage suppliers
Managing suppliers across multiple regions, business units, and legal entities has become increasingly complex. Supplier Engagement for Microsoft Dynamics 365 provides a centralized experience to onboard suppliers, manage supplier information, and collaborate across procurement activities, helping organizations create a more connected, efficient, and resilient supply chain.
From prospect to production ready - a guided journey
1
Supplier self registers, or a buyer invites them internally
2
Guided form: contacts, addresses, profile, certificates, capabilities & questionnaire
3
A buyer reviews the data and marks the supplier qualified or disqualified
4
Qualified suppliers are released to one or more legal entities
5
Ready for RFQs, POs, invoices & consignment inventory
Path A: A supplier registers through the anonymous page on the portal. The request lands as a prospect global supplier for your team to review and approve before onboarding.
Path B: A buyer creates a prospective global supplier directly in the app and sends the supplier a portal invitation to continue onboarding.
Each experience has a clear role — and they share the same supplier record end-to-end
One solution, three connected experiences

Supplier engagement is also available for Agents

Agent access respects the same security roles, approval workflows, and data boundaries as human users, while operational transactions remain anchored in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
Reviewing inbound supplier registrations requests.
Flagging incomplete or potentially duplicate onboarding submissions before buyer review.
Monitoring global certifications and prompting suppliers ahead of expiration.
Performing Risk assessments and recommend corrective actions.
Summarizing a RFQ response set so a buyer compares terms instead of assembling them.

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 one connected experience. 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.
