In Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, the "Association" field in Procurement and sourcing workflows determines whether the workflow is available:
You cannot directly assign a company in the workflow configuration form itself — instead, you select the company contextually when creating the workflow. Here's how to do it:
Step-by-step to create a company-specific workflow:
1. Switch to the legal entity (company) where you want to configure the workflow (e.g., USMF)
2. Navigate to: Procurement and sourcing > Setup > Procurement and sourcing workflows
3. Click New to create a workflow: 4. Configure the workflow as needed and activate it
-
This workflow will automatically be associated with the current company
-
In the "Association" column, you will see the company ID (e.g., "USMF")
4. Configure the workflow as needed and activate it.
For an organization-wide workflow:
1. Perform the same steps, but from the "DAT" company (or another shared entity if available).
2. The created workflow will be marked as "Organization-wide" in the Association column.
⚠️ You cannot change the association of a workflow after it's created. If you created it under the wrong company or scope, you’ll need to recreate it in the correct context.
