Building on the recent updates in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management version 10.0.46, this release introduces several preview features designed to provide deeper visibility into production and increase physical efficiency on the warehouse floor. These enhancements, part of the 2025 Release Wave 2, focus on high precision tracking and modernising the way workers interact with the system. Walkerscott’s Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management expert, Neil Catubig, recently dived into how these tools can help businesses go beyond traditional tracking and streamline physical labour.
Following the general availability in February 2026, here is an overview of the key Dynamics 365 Supply Chain highlights. You can watch the video or read the updates below.
Deep Visibility with Enhanced Traceability
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management version 10.0.46 now allows you to create custom “tracking attributes” to capture specific data points.
A significant expansion has arrived for the supply chain traceability add-in with Dynamics 365, moving beyond basic batch and serial number tracking. Organisations can now create custom “tracking attributes” to capture specific data points during the production process. For instance, instead of just knowing which batch a product belongs to, you can now record the specific machine ID, furnace temperature, or mixer used during manufacturing.
This level of detail is a game changer for quality control. If a production issue is discovered, these custom attributes become searchable filters. You can quickly “crawl” your data to identify every item that passed through a specific machine or was processed under certain conditions. This granular approach allows for faster, more accurate recalls and helps pinpoint exactly where a process might be failing.
Hands Free Efficiency with Wrist Mounted Scanning
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is now compatible with wearable devices from ProGlove.
The Warehouse Management mobile app has received a major upgrade in how it interacts with hardware, specifically supporting wrist-mounted scanning devices. By deploying the app on wearable devices from manufacturers like ProGlove, warehouse workers can transition to a completely hands free picking process.
The impact on operations is substantial. Early trials have shown an impressive 27% improvement in picking accuracy, which naturally leads to higher overall productivity. Beyond speed, this move toward wearable tech helps reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries associated with handheld scanners and significantly improves day-to-day worker satisfaction. Because it leverages the existing mobile app infrastructure, companies can deploy these new hardware types quickly to see immediate results in their fulfillment centres across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management version 10.0.46 Wave 2 FAQs
Can we track production variables like temperature or machine speed even if we don't use serial numbers for every single item in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management?
Absolutely. While tracking attributes are often used with serial or batch numbers, the system is flexible. You can configure data collection for specific activity types, like a “heat treatment” or “rolling” stage, to record variables like furnace temperature or drying time. This allows you to link critical process data directly to a batch, giving you “where used” traceability even for high volume goods that aren’t individually serialised.
Do the new tracking attributes in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management integrate with our existing quality management workflows?
Yes, and this is where they become truly powerful. You can set up the system to automatically trigger a quality order or a “block” on a batch if a recorded attribute, such as painting temperature, falls below a specific threshold. This transforms traceability from a retrospective “scavenger hunt” into a proactive, real time quality control tool.
Are wrist mounted scanners difficult to set up with Dynamics 385 Supply Chain Management Warehouse Management mobile app?
Not at all. The latest update (specifically version 4.0 of the mobile app) is hardware agnostic, meaning it is built to support a growing ecosystem of smart wearables natively. For popular devices like those from ProGlove, the app automatically recognises the peripheral through its native setup utility, so you don’t need to perform heavy custom coding within Dynamics 365 to get them up and running.
How much time does "hands free" picking actually save in a high volume warehouse environment?
While results vary by warehouse layout, Microsoft’s data and early trials suggest that eliminating the need to “juggle” a handheld device can save between three to five seconds per scan. In a high-volume centre, those seconds add up to several hours of regained productivity every single day, which is why some organisations see an impressive 27% jump in overall picking accuracy using the wrist mounted scanning and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Warehouse Management mobile app combo.
