To effectively control the supply chain, manufacturers and distributors typically implement some level of warehouse management at company locations. Enhanced visibility into the placement of items within a warehouse lets users plan inventory movements more efficiently. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central supports a wide range of warehouse control levels.
Food Manufacturing & Distribution builds on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central warehousing capabilities to provide additional warehouse management solutions. All key warehouse activities (such as receiving items, putting items away, moving items inside the warehouse, picking items for shipment and production, and shipping items) are streamlined so that creating and completing these movements is straightforward. Additional levels of warehouse control that are not available in standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central provide more flexible options when processing data.
For companies that need a greater level of detail in supervising vehicles as they deliver shipments to customers and pick up purchased goods from vendors, the distribution planning application includes management functionality for scheduling and processing these activities.
The following table describes the areas of warehousing and distribution planning functionality within Food Manufacturing & Distribution, with links to the topics that describe them.
