Maintain REV levels for Items

Andrew King on 9/11/2020 12:52:53 PM

It's very common in semiconductor, electronics, medical device etc industries to maintain items by rev level to be used in sales, procurement and manufacturing. Managing Lot numbers is a workaround but not ideal. Variants won't work due to limitations in forecasting, MRP, etc.

Items need to be tracked, inventoried, forecasted, procured, sold and have MRP run by REV level.

Other competitive products like NetSuite, SAP, etc have this function.

Thank you for your feedback. It seems that requested feature has meanwhile been made available.

For more information, see New UI for entering demand forecasts to add support for variant code and other improvements - Dynamics 365 Release Plan | Microsoft Docs

and Production BOMs and routes on stockkeeping units in planning scenarios - Dynamics 365 Release Plan | Microsoft Docs

With respect to managing rev levels in the semiconductor and medical device industry, this is a critical addition to a family of additions with respect to variant functionality in Business Central. We have a number of clients looking at BC but since it doesn't handle REV levels (variants) well, it's a problem.
