Managing Bills of Materials in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

Accurately defining the components, ingredients, and resources needed for production is critical to any successful manufacturing operation. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of structuring bills of materials (BOMs) inside Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. You will transition from understanding basic inventory items to configuring complex product structures, calculating estimated manufacturing costs, and linking BOMs to production routes. By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently set up and manage BOM versions to support modern, efficient supply chain operations. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental role of Bills of Materials (BOMs) in production and cost estimation. - Create and configure BOM items, semi-finished products, and service ingredients. - Link BOMs with production routes to calculate accurate product costing. - Manage BOM versions and active dates to maintain strict quality and version control. - Apply modern inventory tracking principles to align your BOMs with real-time stock levels. The course begins with core definitions and terminology before moving step-by-step through configuration processes, version management, and cost estimation workflows. You will learn through clear written explanations, practical scenarios, and structured conceptual walkthroughs. This course is designed for beginners new to Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, as well as inventory coordinators and production planners looking to formalize their supply chain skills.
