Description

The standard Dynamics 365 Business Central solution already meets many global needs. We expand that solution to meet local needs by adding capabilities that include:

Logistics flows that manage subcontractor transfers for raw materials and components, along with warehouse handling and item tracking.

Flexible pricing that considers the work center, item, dates, and quantity.

Finished goods receipts with item tracking and warehouse handling from purchase orders.

Logistics flows that manage subcontractor transfers of finished goods.

Enhanced usability and more transparency in production processes.

Special note for Italian localizations

The Italian localization currently supports logistics for both finished goods and raw materials/components. We deprecate the existing local functionality and provide upgrade logic to facilitate migration to a new W1 solution. You decide when to start the transition by activating a feature key on the Feature Management page.

Business Value:

A complex industrial structure can include external vendors that handle specific tasks within the broader production process. Some companies outsource up to 75 percent of their production. Outsourcing can lead to significant cost savings or access to specialized skills and technologies that might not be available otherwise. A typical example is a company that handles research, design, quality control, and sales in-house but outsources all or large parts of the actual production.
