Summary
Discrete manufacturing in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is highly interactive with other modules, and it provides manufacturers with the required tools and processes to produce finished goods.
Bills of materials (BOMs) are used in production to specify ingredients or subordinate components that are physically required to make each assembled part number or item in production. BOMs are important to the functioning of the production life cycle and processes.
The production process uses a BOM to specify the items that are used in the manufacturing process. The routes and operations define the process, machines, and tools that are used to convert those items into finished goods.
The production order follows a life cycle from Created to Ended. As part of the production process, the production order is scheduled, which creates a start date and end date for the production order.
Master planning interacts with production to provide planners with an updated depiction of what is needed to meet requirements and helps them decide how to meet these requirements.
