Project Logistics
One of the typical functions for Projects in Business Central is to collect all costs related to the projects. Material is one of the main components in those costs.
In Business Central the Project Planning line is considered as demand and that demand can generate several types of supply orders: purchase, production, assembly, or transfer. With large, multiple, projects it is important that the ordered material is clearly earmarked per Project.
With Industrial Equipment Manufacturing manufacturers can manage, and force, all material requirements for projects from within a Project. As part of the work preparation planners can either create purchase -, production -, assembly -, and transfer orders directly from project planning lines or calculate a project specific material requirement planning.
Material requirements integrate with Business Central reservation system so, supply orders are clearly pegged to the Project.
