Inventory dimensions are one of the first concepts that confuse new Dynamics 365 SCM users. This silent slide video explains the three dimension groups (product, storage, tracking), what each dimension means, how the Physical inventory and Financial inventory checkboxes affect on-hand and costing, how reservation hierarchies work with warehouse management, and how to choose settings that will not need rework later.
