Which functionality is utilized to collect data from the general ledger and related sources?

The functionality that is utilized to collect data from the general ledger and related sources is cost accounting. Cost accounting in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management plays a crucial role in providing insights related to costs associated with products, services, and operations within an organization.

This functionality enables organizations to analyze and track the costs incurred during various manufacturing processes and distribution. It captures financial data from the general ledger to assess profitability, operational efficiency, and overall business performance. By analyzing this data, businesses can make informed decisions regarding pricing, budgeting, and resource allocation.

In contrast, while procurement and sourcing, inventory management, and warehouse management deal with buying, storing, and handling inventory, respectively, they do not primarily focus on collecting financial data from the general ledger, which is a key aspect of cost accounting. Thus, cost accounting is fundamentally linked to financial oversight and analysis, making it the correct choice for this functionality.
