Dynamics 365 for manufacturing
Dynamics 365 gives manufacturers one connected system for production, supply chain and finance. Veratas implements Finance and Operations and Supply Chain Management as a single accountable team, from process design through to a stable, supported go live.
Manufacturers carry the cost of disconnected systems
Production, planning and finance often run on separate tools that never agree on the same numbers.
Most manufacturers have grown a patchwork of systems: a legacy ERP for finance, spreadsheets for planning, a separate shop floor system and bolt on tools for quality and maintenance. Each holds part of the picture, none holds all of it. Planners reconcile by hand, costing lags reality, and decisions are made on data that is already out of date.
The result shows up as working capital tied into excess stock, expedited freight to cover shortages, and margins that are only understood weeks after a job has closed. When demand shifts or a supplier slips, the business cannot see the consequence across procurement, production scheduling and the order book quickly enough to act on it.
Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations and Supply Chain Management bring planning, production, procurement, inventory and finance into one model with a single version of cost, stock and capacity. Veratas implements that platform with manufacturing process design first, so the system reflects how the plant actually runs rather than forcing a generic template onto it.
What Dynamics 365 changes on the plant floor and in finance
The platform connects the work of planners, buyers, production and the finance team around shared data.
Production and scheduling
Discrete, process and lean manufacturing modes with bills of material, routes and finite capacity scheduling. Planners see load against work centres and can sequence jobs against real constraints rather than estimates.
Supply chain and planning
Master planning and the Planning Optimisation engine turn demand and supply signals into actionable purchase and production orders, with safety stock, lead times and supplier performance held in one place.
Inventory and warehouse
Warehouse management with mobile device support, directed put away and picking, and accurate on hand and in transit stock. Cycle counting and traceability replace periodic counts and manual stock adjustments.
Finance and product costing
Standard, planned and actual costing tied directly to production activity, so margin by product and job is visible as work completes. Finance closes on the same data the plant runs on, not a separate ledger.
Quality and maintenance
Quality orders, non conformance handling and asset maintenance connected to production, so defects, downtime and corrective actions are recorded against the orders and equipment that caused them.
How Veratas delivers Dynamics 365 for manufacturing
A structured implementation that fits the system to your operations and de risks the move from legacy ERP.
Process and scope definition
We map your order to cash and procure to pay flows, manufacturing modes and costing approach, then agree the Finance and Operations and Supply Chain Management scope and a delivery plan against it.
Solution design and build
We configure the modules, design the integrations to shop floor, CAD or product data systems, and build only the extensions the process genuinely needs, keeping the platform close to standard.
Data migration and conformance
We migrate items, bills of material, routes, customers, suppliers and open balances, then run conference room pilots and user acceptance testing with your planners and finance team on real data.
Cutover and managed support
We plan the cutover to minimise disruption to production, support hypercare through the first close, then run the environment under an accountable managed service as Microsoft releases new updates.
