Understanding specific highlights of Business Central’s software can help you determine how Microsoft Dynamics 365 can best serve your business.
Key Functions of Business Central
Because Business Central is a cloud-based ERP system, you can access any of these features from anywhere in the world, on any wireless device, making their impact on your business very pervasive.
Inventory Items
Inventory consists of the final product of whatever your business sells. However, before you can get to this final stage, there is a long process in which you utilize raw materials and parts to build your product. Business Central includes tracking abilities for these raw materials and their usage, so you can have a complete overview of the creation of a product, start to finish. This means you can track the status of your materials and manufacturing, increasing efficiency and productivity.
Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
Business Central makes tracking bills of materials simple by automatically suggesting orders based on demand and sales of your business, making ordering new materials a quick and easy process with very little risk of human error.
Demand and Capacity Planning
Business Central allows you to create demand and capacity planning for production all in the cloud-based system so you can focus on streamlining your projects and production.
Scheduling
Scheduling is straightforward in Business Central so you don’t have to waste time on constant editing. Because manufacturing can be volatile with time frames, Business Central makes it easy to stay on top of your production and supply.
