{"title":"BBCG.13.D365: Configuring Production Control","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Production Control area within Dynamics 365is a great feature to leverage if you are performing any type of manufacturing within your business, and is very powerful and flexible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is able to handle almost anything that you want to throw at it, and is able to handle discrete and process based manufacturing requirements, it is able to perform both traditional and Lean based execution methodologies, it has inbuilt shop floor terminals that you can take advantage of, it has scheduling out of the box, and also has comprehensive costing capabilities that you can take advantage of. But that doesn’t mean that it’s complicated to set up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn these guides we will start you off on your way by showing you how you can start using the Production Control module to create Bills Of Materials, link them with Routes and Resources, and then show you how you can easily configure the shop floor interface, control the production through work instructions, and finally extend out the costing capabilities by creating Costing Sheet template. Once you have this up and running you will have almost all that you need to model all of your production within Dynamics 365.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bbcg-13-d365-5-pdf-configuring-production-control-within-dynamics-365-erp-fifth-edition","title":"BBCG.13.D365.5.PDF: Configuring Production Control within Dynamics 365 ERP (Fifth Edition)","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Waterdeep Trading Company is more than a merchant house. It is a maker. From the distillery in Dock Ward where Wyrmsbreath Whiskey is crafted, to the cooperage where barrels are assembled and the packaging hall where gift sets are prepared for shipment, production is at the core of the company's identity. The Production Control module in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is where that manufacturing process is defined, scheduled, executed, and costed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eProduction Control connects the bill of materials that defines what goes into a product, the routes that define how it is made, and the shop floor tools that track the work as it happens. It encompasses the journals and parameters that govern production transactions, the BOMs and routes that serve as blueprints for manufacturing, the job registration terminals that capture real-time shop floor activity, the work instructions that guide workers, and the costing sheets that reveal the true cost of every finished good. Greta Ironfist expects every bottle of spirits to be traceable from grain to glass, and every production cost to be accounted for with precision. These labs ensure that the manufacturing process is as disciplined as the company's financial ledgers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"GuideSubheading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Will Learn in This Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"GuideSubheadingItem\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Control Setup:  \u003c\/strong\u003eConfigure the journals, parameters, working time templates, calendars, and production units that underpin the entire manufacturing process.
