Configure manufactured and purchased items in Dynamics 365 Business Central using template items, categories, and attributes to apply complex rules and formulas. This added functionality provides you with the consistency and accuracy in item setup, simplifying the process for businesses that make to order.
Configure new items quickly and accurately
Easily set up new items in Business Central by dynamically configuring product attributes such as length, width, height, colour, or any user-defined option. Instead of manually creating items, formulas and rules automatically generate item details, including Bills of Materials (BOMs) and routings. This streamlines item creation while maintaining accuracy and consistency across your product catalogue.
Categories and attributes drive precise configurations
A structured item category hierarchy ensures that attributes are linked logically, allowing you to select only valid configurations when creating new items. The intuitive interface guides you through the process, preventing errors and ensuring that every new item meets predefined rules.
Advanced item searching for quick access
From quotes and sales orders, you can easily search for specific product configurations using an advanced search function. This allows your team to find exact matches without manually browsing extensive item lists. If a configuration does not yet exist, you can create the item instantly with a single click and proceed with the sale, reducing delays and improving customer responsiveness.
Automatic cost and price calculation for immediate transactions
Template items and categories can be configured to automatically determine standard costs and pricing when a new item is created. This ensures that accurate cost roll-ups and pricing structures are in place from the start, allowing businesses to transact immediately without the need for manual price adjustments.
