Business Central for manufacturers

Manufacturers need the ERP to connect purchasing, stock, production and finance. Business Central covers the core, and extensions handle what is specific to your shop floor.

Processes we support

Bills of materials and routings

Structured product definitions with versions, so production orders pick up the correct components and operations.

Production orders and planning

Planning worksheets and requisition planning to turn demand into purchase and production proposals.

Capacity and work centres

Finite or infinite capacity setups, with realistic run and setup times.

Costing

Standard or actual costing decisions and their effect on inventory valuation and variances.

Subcontracting and quality

Subcontractor workflows and inspection steps that integrate with receipt and production.

Challenges we see

  • Costing method chosen without understanding its effect on reporting
  • Shop-floor data captured outside the ERP and re-keyed
  • Multi-level BOM changes without version control

Typical integrations

  • Shop-floor data capture and barcode scanning
  • Machine or MES data feeds
  • Supplier portals
  • Power BI production dashboards
