The labor and subcontracting piece follows the same costing logic. Business Central treats both as production costs absorbed into the production order.

For labor, the production capacity posting is WIP against Direct Cost Applied.

For subcontracting, the subcontract purchase order posts a Capacity Ledger Entry on receipt and posts the…

Have you checked to see if all objects and symbols are good on the server?

Warehouse shipments. Each location should have “Require Shipment” true. Then, Create Warehouse Shipment from a sales order splits the lines by location. Package Worksheet in Dynamic Ship works with warehouse shipment documents. Picks also work fine with warehouse shipments.

(I’ll try to remember to get back to you about AL to select…

Purchase and payables setup controls where the tax area code is read from. If “use vendor’s tax area code” is true, purchase documents will look at the vendor record for tax area code. If this setting is false, it will look at the ship-to code, location code, or company information in that order.

The out-of-the-box alternate path is to use planning for the nested orders.

To do this in shipping would require an extension… it should drop to the lowest-level child items, copy the same header as the parent order would use, reserve the output for the next level up from each order, and execute everything needed on one level at a time.…

I’d recommend finding an independent ERP selection consultant.

Truly independent, though. I’ve dealt both as a user and in the channel with “ERP selection consultants” who receive referral fees and don’t disclose that this is the case unless asked. The not-so-independent ones usually charge less; there is a reason.

I unfortunately can’t…

Based on trying this scenario out, it could be possible to bill for service coverage in a subscription contract and track entitlement for the same service in a service contract.

However, it’s one thing to create both at the time of subscription, another to keep them in sync when the subscription status changes (e.g. terminated, renewed). I…

Could you explain more of what you are trying to do?

If you mean the subscription contracts, working with those is documented here:

On the first sales order, create a prepayment credit memo.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/finance-how-to-correct-prepayments

This will generate a credit for the customer account which can be applied elsewhere.

I’m not aware of comprehensive documentation. The available documentation is here:

Below is a rundown of what I would advise based on how I’ve set it up. I’d note this is all very recent; I’m not an expert, only someone who has gotten this relatively-new functionality…

Warehouse Insight is a decent app. The main thing I like about it is the ability to make a custom app for a particular workflow. Taken completely custom, you can use many things in Business Central (that have nothing to do with warehousing) with a custom app and a small orchestration codeunit.

The negative feedback I’ve gotten about the…

A slightly-less-hassle way of doing this is

Select the entry

Find entries… (Keyboard: Ctrl-Alt-Q. Unless you entered General Ledger Entries from a totaling row in which case Ctrl-Alt-Q doesn’t work for some reason)

Click Posted Gen. Journal Line. (Keyboard: Shift-F3, “Rel” Enter, “Post*” Enter, Tab x 5, Enter)

The three main ways to access a label printer are PrintNode with an appropriate extension or write your own extension, Universal Print, or a custom server.

When I did it, I wrote a custom server. There were entirely too specific of workflows to have warehousing personnel print labels from ERP or WMS screens. They told me as much when they so…
