Why Business Central ERP for Aerospace Manufacturers
Updated: Aug 17, 2021
Aerospace manufacturers are one of the key components that have helped shaped the globalization of the world's industries. The foresight these organizations had to have and still have to advance forward is nothing short of amazing. However, with great advancements comes great responsibility. Aerospace manufacturers inevitably turned to enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to gain greater insight into their businesses. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central should now be your first choice for Aerospace ERP manufacturing software and here's two reasons why.
Lot and Serial Tracking
Business Central's out of the box lot and serial tracking capabilities are second to none. You can define when and for which transactions you need to track the serial numbers of a item that has been assigned a particular tracking profile. Below is a picture of the Item Tracking Code Card page in Business Central where you can select what you want to track or ask the software to record more information against serial numbers or lots.
A question that we see a lot of on internet forums is, can you apply both serial number and lot tracking to a particular item? The answer is yes, you can apply both serial number and lot tracking to a particular item in Business Central. Business Central also has in it's toolbox the ability to track the history of where a specific serial number or lot number was used and the ability to do forward and backward traces.
Quality Control
One of the beautiful things about Business Central is the ability to extend the out of the box functionality by downloading apps. This is a great feature because as we all know there are many businesses that are similar but no two businesses are the same. As an Aerospace Manufacturer you most likely are going to need some sort of quality control capabilities to run your business efficiently and continue to produce products that exceed customer's expectations.
Here are two options that are integrated with Business Central and work extremely well:
