Business value
To help partners demonstrate the premium capabilities of Business Central, we are making a demo tool and demo data available for manufacturing scenarios.
Feature details
The demo tool and demo data set is available for scenarios in manufacturing as a Contoso Coffee extension that you can install in any environment. Presales specialists can run the tool on top of Cronus or My Company and get the setup and demo data they'll need when they demonstrate various scenarios in the manufacturing space. Both the demo tool and the demo data are available on the on-premises product media as source code.
The Contoso Coffee app provides four products that are optimized for different scenarios:
SP-SCM1009 Airpot
This product is a bill of material (BOM) with a subassembly, Routing. Use it to demonstrate the standard production flow. It's set up with alternative routings that you can use to demonstrate various scenarios that involve subcontractors. The costing method is Standard.
SP-SCM1011 Airpot Duo
This product requires item tracking and has a component that also requires item tracking. The costing method is Special.
SP-SCM1004 Autodrip
This product is a BOM with a subassembly, Routing. We recommend it to demonstrate the various flushing methods both for components and operations. The costing method is Standard.
SP-SCM1008 AutoDripLite
This product has three variants and three BOMs that can be assigned to stockkeeping units. The product uses the phantom BOM concept. The costing method is Standard.
The manufacturing activities for all scenarios use the NORTH location.
Important
Before you run any of the scenarios for Contoso Coffee, post any item journal lines with opening balances. For more requirements, see Set up Contoso Coffee data.
