Project logistics

Prev Next

One of the typical functions for projects in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is to collect all costs related to the project. Material is one of the main components of those costs.

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, the project planning line is considered demand, and that demand can generate several types of supply orders: purchase, production, assembly, or transfer. With large, multiple projects, it is important that ordered material is clearly earmarked per project.

With Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, manufacturers can manage and enforce all material requirements for projects from within a project. As part of work preparation, planners can create purchase, production, assembly, and transfer orders directly from project planning lines, or calculate a project-specific material requirements plan.

Material requirements integrate with the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central reservation system so supply orders are clearly pegged to the project.
