What is the Dynamics 365 supply chain module called?

It's officially called Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, part of the Finance and Operations product line. It was previously bundled under the broader Dynamics 365 for Operations branding before Microsoft split Finance and Operations apps into separately licensed modules including Supply Chain Management, Finance, and Commerce.
