Production Inquiries and Reports in Microsoft Dynamics AX (80886)

This course provides students the necessary information to set up the prerequisites for using Microsoft Dynamics AX Discrete Manufacturing features.

This course provides students with an in-depth study of production processes using Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations. It primarily focuses on how to configure a route and a bill of material to be used in a discrete manufacturing scenario. It is intended for users who are just starting to learn about the Production control module. This course discusses the properties that are assigned to operations resources and how those properties automatically become part of the operations, items, and production orders related to each of those resources. Then, it introduces the operations, meaning the tasks that are required to produce items in production. It also covers the setup and the relations of those operations. Routes are the series of steps that are done to produce an item. That topic includes scrap that can be factored into the process, as well as how long each step will take to complete. It also covers route groups, updates to the route, and route versions. It also covers the more complex topic of route networks, where there can be multiple simultaneous operations involved in a route. Another major topic is Bill of Materials (BOM), and how it is constructed in Dynamics 365 for Operations, starting with a basic BOM and then examining more complex variations. One complex variation covered is a BOM for subcontracting, where an outside vendor supplies a component used in a BOM. We will also cover how BOMs are affected by product dimensions, where items are made with different sizes, colors, and configurations. Finally, the course addresses BOM scrap, both constant and variable, that can be assigned to each BOM line.

This course provides students an introduction to Microsoft Dynamics AX Manufacturing Capacities. The purpose of this course is to give new users an overview of the discrete manufacturing costing process available in AX.
