Manufacturing
Microsoft Dynamics Business Central:
Enable proactive manufacturing operations to improve output, quality and uptime, while reducing costs and
delivering on customer expectations.
1
Assembly management
Specify a list of sellable the items, raw materials,
sub-assemblies, and resources as an assembly bill of
materials that make up a finished item or a kit. Use
assembly orders to replenish assembly items. Capture
customer requirements for the kit’s bill of materials
directly from sales quotes, blanket orders, and order
lines in the assembly-to-order processes.
2
Standard cost worksheet
Give company controllers a reliable and efficient way to
maintain accurate inventory costs. Work with standard
cost updates in Business Central in the same way you
would in an Excel spreadsheet. Prepare for cost updates
without changing data until you’re ready.
3
Product bill of materials
Create bills of materials and calculate their standard
costs. Keep track of different versions and know which
components were valid at a specific moment of time
and for specific production batch.
4
Basic capacity planning
Add capacities (work centers) to the manufacturing
process. Set up routings for production orders and
material requirements planning. View loads and the task
list for the capacities.
5
Machine centers
Add machine centers as capacities in the manufacturing
process. Manage capacity for each machine or
production resource on a detailed level for machine
centers, and on a consolidated level for work centers.
Use machine centers to store default information about
manufacturing processes, such as setup, wait, and move
times and default scrap percentages.
6
Deferrals
Set up deferral templates that automate the process of
deferring revenues and expenses based on a schedule.
Recognize revenues and expenses in periods other than
the period in which the transaction is posted.
7
Version management
Create versions of manufacturing bills of materials
and routings.
8
Production orders
Create production orders and post consumption and
output. Calculate net requirements based on production
orders. Use a manual supply planning tool as an
alternative to automatic planning. Get visibility and
tools to manually plan for demand from sales lines and
to create supply orders.
9
Automatic components and
capacity consumption
Reduce data entry, and have accurate stock and WIP
information in the same time. Use routing codes to link
components with specific operation to minimize waste
by implementing just-in-time principles.
10
Subcontracting
Delegate all or part of operations to external work
centers. Use separate location and transfer order to
track raw materials. Register performed work with
purchase orders.
11
Finite loading
Manage finite loading of capacity-constraint resources.
Account for capacity constraints for periods to avoid
overloading work centers.
12
Scrap
Scrap can be inevitable in the manufacturing process.
But making sure it is properly recorded is essential to
proper inventory and cost management.
