Prerequisite setup in production control

Completed

Before starting setup procedures, you need to set up production parameters and journal names in the Production control module.

  • Parameters - Set up basic production parameters to define how the application must handle and process production orders. Additionally, you can define how the application creates, estimates, schedules, and consumes them. You can also select what kind of feedback you want and how the application must conduct cost accounting.

  • Journal names - Identify the production journal names that you want to use to record and post ongoing transactions.

Production order journals record the different item transactions that occur when you work with production orders. These item transactions have a direct effect on a company's financial records.

When you post a production journal, the system automatically transfers all item transactions to the General ledger. The General ledger is the centralized location for financial data and information in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance.
