Process Flow in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
Creating a Production Order
- The user creates a production order for electronic goods.
- Upon receiving the components, a related product receipt is posted.
- The component invoice is posted to document the payable amount.
Registering and Tracking Components
- Instead of immediate usage, the user registers the serial numbers of the components used and matches them to the finished product’s serial number.
- The tracked components are recorded in the production floor execution interface.
Monitoring and Ensuring Quality
- The user monitors the components for quality standards before they are used in production.
- Quality control ensures that components meet the necessary standards, reducing defects and rework.
Settling the Production Order
- On completion, the user processes the settlement of the production order.
- The component usage is recorded, and the finished product’s account is updated.
Verification and Reporting
- The user verifies that all components have been successfully tracked and recorded.
- Financial and production reports are generated to ensure all transactions are accurately reflected in the company’s records.
Benefits of Using Tracked Components in the Electronics Industry
