Synchronize tracking dimensions on intercompany sales and purchase order lines in Microsoft Dynamics 365 SCM

Feature name: Synchronize tracking dimensions on intercompany sales and purchase order lines

Feature description:
This feature lets you control whether the serial and batch number tracking dimensions are synchronized across intercompany sales and purchase order lines. It adds new settings to both the "Purchase order policies" and "Sales order policies" tabs of the "Intercompany" setup page for customers and vendors. It also updates the names of a few related, nearby settings for clarity. If you are using advanced warehouse management (WMS), then be aware that this feature will only synchronize batch and serial numbers when those dimensions are above location in the target destination reservation hierarchy.


Before this feature was introduced, only tracking dimensions defined on the inventory transactions were synchronized across intercompany chain. There were 2 parameters that controlled that: "Batch number on inventory transactions" on the Purchase order policies and Sales order policies.


With the new feature, you can define tracking dimensions on the purchase order line/sales order line directly and it will be also synchronized across intercompany chain. 

Once you activate this feature, a new parameter "Batch number on order lines" will be displayed:

If Batch number on order lines parameter on the Purchase order policies tab is activated, tracking dimensions defined on the purchase order line will be synchronized to the sales order line. 

If Batch number on order lines parameter on the Sales order policies tab is activated, tracking dimensions defined on the sales order line will be synchronized to the purchase order line. 

That's it!
