Manufacturing#

The following features expand standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central¹ functionality to provide additional options to those working in your organization’s production department.

Released Orders Only: planning worksheets#

To streamline your scheduling process, you can run the Calculate Regenerative Plan action from a planning worksheet ribbon to have the system fill in current item demand on the lines according to the planning parameters you’ve set and the number of orders that you’ve received from your customers.

What the standard function doesn’t consider, however, is whether these orders have progressed far enough in the system. To limit demand calculations to sales orders that have already been released, turn on the Released Orders Only toggle when you see the request page of the report.

Set times for standard tasks#

To simplify the completion of manufacturing processes, you can set up a list of standard tasks in the app and add them to operations.

In trade365, you can also specify the duration of each task. Which times will be added to a routing and used to calculate the production order depends on the task code selected. You can, however, change the duration of a task manually, if needed.
