1. Get started with production control in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
The life cycle of production begins with the creation of the production order, batch order, or kanban. It ends with a finished, manufactured item that is ready for either a customer or another phase of production. Each step in the life cycle requires different kinds of information to complete the process. As each step is completed, the production order, batch order, or kanban shows a change in the production status. Different types of products require different manufacturing processes.

4. Work with the costing sheet in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
Manufacturing companies need to calculate the costs that are related to finished goods that are being produced such as labor, materials, surcharges, and overheads. You can configure Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to calculate costs of bill of materials of the finished goods in production. Additionally, you can create costing sheets that are broken out by particular cost categories, incorporate routing costs, and even add surcharges and other indirect costs. Companies can then analyze, summarize, and evaluate cost data so they can make the best possible decisions for price updates, budgets, cost control, and so on.

6. Work with manufacturing execution in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
The Manufacturing execution module is intended primarily for manufacturing companies. It can be used to register time and item consumption on production jobs or projects. Before you start to use manufacturing execution for job registrations, you must set up various production parameters that define how and when registrations are posted during the production process. The settings of production parameters affect inventory management, production management, and cost calculation.

10. Identify and configure batch attributes for process manufacturing in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
Often, customers demand specific requirements for the finished goods results from process manufacturing. For example, in the cheese industry, milk is one of the raw materials that is used to produce the cheese and it can have attributes such as fat content and percentage weight. The cheese that is produced from the milk can have other attributes, such as moisture and age. If the customer requirement is not met, you will either have to rework the process or start a new batch process. To ensure that process manufacturers meet customer demands, you must define batch attributes that reflect customer requirements. Additionally, after a quality check, the finished goods must meet the value or range of values from batch attributes.

13. Create and process fixed kanbans in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
The Kanban schedule board lets the production planner control and optimize the production plan for kanban jobs. It makes the flow of kanban jobs transparent and gives the production planner a tool that optimizes and adjusts the production plan for the lean manufacturing work cell. Kanban rules in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management are tied to production flows as the foundation that defines the activities of a kanban. Kanban rules can be set up to support a variety of make-to-stock and make-to-order scenarios. This module explains how to work with Kanban schedule boards and describes kanban types, kanban replenishment strategies, and fixed quantity kanban rules.

14. Create and process event kanban rules in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
You use event kanban rules to trigger and create related issues of raw materials when you create sales lines, estimate production orders, create kanbans from event kanban rules, or run the pegging event processing where inventory has hit a minimum quantity. This module explains how to create and process event kanbans in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
