Business Central: Manufacturing 🔧
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central · Curated Video Lessons
The Manufacturing module in Business Central gives production-based businesses the tools to plan, execute, and track their manufacturing operations — from defining Bills of Materials and routings, to creating and releasing production orders, recording output, and managing capacity. This guide covers the key manufacturing concepts and workflows you need to get your production floor running efficiently on Business Central.
🏭 Manufacturing Items & Production BOMs
An introduction to the manufacturing module in Business Central — covering how to set up manufactured items on item cards, create production Bills of Materials (BOMs), and understand how BOMs define the components and quantities needed to produce a finished good. This video explains the relationship between items and BOMs, how to structure multi-level BOMs, and how the BOM feeds into the production order process for planning material consumption.

📋 How to Create a Production Bill of Materials
A step-by-step tutorial on creating a Production Bill of Materials (BOM) in Business Central — covering how to open the BOM card, add component lines, specify quantities per unit of output, set scrap percentages, choose routing links, and certify the BOM for use in production orders. Creating accurate BOMs is the foundation of the manufacturing module — everything from material requirements planning to production costing depends on the BOM being set up correctly.
