9A Advanced Manufacturing extends the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management platform for general discrete and discrete project-based manufacturing companies. This application suite tackles recognizable manufacturing challenges, such as: insights in material availability, long lead time items, financial insights on actual cost and WIP, design changes, contractual invoicing, improving collaboration between engineering and production, etc. .

It includes the latest capabilities in process mining for continuous process improvements and is enhanced through agentic AI capabilities to optimize and automate your processes.

The suite consists of several applications solving distinct challenges:

Discrete Manufacturing - Enhancing your production planners user experience through one centralized cockpit, showing immediate insights in material availability
Advanced Projects - For real-time insights in project progress, project supply chain and project financials

Field Service Connector - Integration with Dynamics 365 Field Service

PTC Windchill Connector - Out of the box connector with PTC Windchill

Extending the suite with:

Process Mining capabilities - Integration of your production processes with Power Platform Process Mining for real-time production insights.
Stock Reallocation Agent - Facilitating optimal redistribution of left-over stock

Discrete Manufacturing

Insights in material availability
Enhanced user experience for planners
Close collaboration between buyers and planners
Integrated vendor feedback
Automatic ending of secondary jobs

Includes out of the box process mining capabilities by connecting Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with Microsoft Power Platform Process Mining: Export data from sales & production processes to generate real-time insights in your manufacturing processes, guided by Copilot.

Advanced Projects

Managing customer orders on a project basis is one of the biggest challenges in the project-based manufacturing industry. The continuous synchronisation between project planning and material planning is a major challenge to reduce the time to market for customer-driven product designs and variations. Because of the dynamic nature of project business, it is important to have real-time access to the huge amount of data required (delivery dates, purchase orders, bills of materials, production orders, etc.).

Having real-time insights in project progress, project supply chain and project financials has a positive effect on delivery reliability and project margins.

Project Dimension: ability to propagate and follow a project number in all direct and indirect transactions

Project Logistics: ability to see all transactions like on hand reservations, purchases, production orders related to a project

Project Cost Sheet: ability to see all direct and indirect costs related to a project, with committed and consumed cost.

Interaction between BOM Levels and Project WBS activities

Take the next step in efficiency and productivity by supercharging manufacturing processes with the help of Autonomous Agents: Introducing a stock reallocation agent to assist project managers in reassigning left-over stock or stock created in advance that was temporarily assigned to a dummy project. Replacing manual work in determining what the optimal redistribution of stock is across any remaining projects.

Field Service Connector

End-to-end process support from Dynamics 365 Supply Chain to Field Service
