I have previously described how production orders are posting into the general ledger which I have received a lot of positive feedback on. This time I will described how assembly orders are posting into the general ledger in Microsoft Dynamics NAV (which is a lot simpler). The assembly orders in Microsoft Dynamics NAV was introduced in the 2013 version and they are a great compliment to the production orders, you can read one of my previous blog posts about assembly vs. production orders to get a feeling about what to use when. The only thing on assembly orders that creates entries...

In this blog post I will describe how this works together with the inventory picks and movements. This is in my mind a setup that works well and supports scenarios where the personnel that are picking the products also assembling/bundling them at the same time. I have previously...
Do you know what the low-level code in Microsoft Dynamics NAV is used for? And do you know how it is maintained? The low-level codes are critical for Dynamics NAV to function properly in a manufacturing environment where material planning takes place (which is in 9 out of 10 places). In addition to this, the cost adjustments in Dynamics NAV are also using the low-level codes. The low-level code is a field in the item table that represents the items lowest level of usage in the production BOM or assembly BOM structures. It is used internally by Dynamics NAV to determine...
