Mastering Engineering Change Management in Dynamics 365
Session Overview: Engineering Change Management (ECM) has been available in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management since 2020, giving manufacturers a structured way to manage product versions and engineering changes. While enabling ECM is straightforward, using it effectively requires a deeper understanding of its configuration options and process impact. This session explores how ECM can support faster, more controlled product changes—helping reduce errors, improve data accuracy, and ultimately shorten time to market. You’ll leave with practical guidance for configuring ECM to fit your operations and avoid common pitfalls during implementation.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how ECM supports version control and change tracking across the product lifecycle in Dynamics 365 F&SCM.
- Explore key configuration decisions and how they impact downstream operations like production and inventory.
- Understand common challenges and limitations of ECM and how to avoid missteps during implementation.
