Prodware Manufacturing for Business Central

Standard manufacturing enhancements

This solution expands on the standard Routing features with the ability to copy Routing, get quick access to change log and attach documents to a routing and routing version. The same applies for improvements in BOM (whatever the type e.g. production, packaging etc.). When a user wants to search for key information for a production order (progress, components, documents), this can often take several clicks and even just show one; the solution rectifies this with quick access enhancements.

Prodware Manufacturing Packaging Management

Packaging management

We’ve added more levels to Packaging Management functionality for you to create and manage several levels of semi-finished items linked to a product, this can take into account different ways you pack and market your product. The Item Generator is a wizard that allows you to set up item code, BOM, routing, weight and volume etc. at the time of creating your item, saving time. The solution includes an improved Palletization Plan Template so that you can add default values related to packaging management.

Prodware Manufacturing Batch Management

Batch management

In Formula Management, a new type of BOM (formula) allows the user to build the BOM lines by using component percentages, manage the notion of fixed or proportional quantity on each line and attach a routing to a formula.
In BOM Lot Size, the user can attach a minimum and maximum quantity to versions of a BOM. When a production order is created, the BOM version to use will depend on the quantity to produce.
If you use batch management in a production order, Batch Composition allows you to automatically split the desired quantity to produce into several production orders so that the size of each batch is maintained.
The Uniqueness of Lot feature allows the business to prohibit the use of several lot numbers of a component within a single production order.
