Introduction
Many companies that sell items have their organization and operations distributed over large geographic areas, with each unit being managed independently. Such an approach to organizing their business helps companies gain a competitive advantage through achieving operational flexibility and customer responsiveness.
Correspondingly, companies with multiple locations face the challenge of retaining control over their decentralized operations and optimizing inventory flows. To meet this challenge, these companies must ensure that the real-time information that is generated at the location level is available to the rest of the organization.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central provides a selection of multiple locations and use of the Responsibility Center function, which help companies that have multiple sites manage their business operations in the most flexible, yet optimal way.
