Dynamics AX 2009 Food and Beverage Solution
Dynamics AX 2009 Food and Beverage Solution
Catch weight and recipe-based • Track and manage inventory simultaneously using two non-converted UOMs, such as
units of measure (UOMs) weight and area.
• Enter product volumes and weights based on actual measurements rather than through UOM
conversion routines to minimize material variances.
• Capture and use as-produced weight (catch weight) to help ensure accurate inventory
management and costing.
Input-driven recipe • Define all the production resources, including ingredients, co-products and by-products,
specification machines, labor, utilities, and quality assurance variables.
Attribute tracking and • Define and maintain an unlimited number of qualitative and quantitative attributes at the product
dynamic formula adjustment and lot levels.
• Adjust formulas based on predefined ratios and scaling.
Centralized quality control • Use integrated QC and lot traceability to link raw materials through the production process to
(QC) and regulatory support final delivery.
• Support U.S. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) safety guidelines and
FDA requirements.
Promotional planning • Model demand at any level of the supply chain (product, product group, customer, and customer
group) while accounting for the anticipated effects of sales promotions and incentives.
Yield planning and tracking • Establish standards for yield using formulas, and then track and report actual yields against
those standards to quickly identify out-of-tolerance conditions, isolate the cause, and take
corrective actions.
Co-product/by-product • Analyze co-product and by-product attributes and costs, and credit their values to the
management appropriate finished goods.
Customizable item and • Define multiple inventory dimensions and gain insight into stocking practices, including
dimensionality structure packaging, main item variations, lot management, and inventory status.
• Conduct comprehensive “where-used” analysis, including alternate formula and recipe tracking.
Variable inventory and order • Monitor inventory using dual UOMs to manage total weight and packaging units.
tracking • Track order status using real-time updates on net purchasing, production, and
capacity requirements.
Integrated QC capabilities • Know the correct inventory status for any given item, including designations for QC testing,
QC failed, and downgrade of product.
• Manage quarantined products throughout the QC process and track their release.
Customized product and • Enable customers to request multiple quality specifications per product while maintaining
packaging capabilities inventory visibility.
• Support highly flexible configurations and packaging types while combining similar products in
production to improve machine utilization.
Detailed production costs • Analyze and monitor production costs and requirements for each component of a sales order
analysis using graphical representations of multi-level formulas and recipes.
Manufacturing process • Help streamline compliance with requirements from regulatory agencies by validating
validation manufacturing processes.
