For businesses using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, efficient order fulfillment is crucial for maintaining smooth operations, reducing order backlogs, and ensuring customer satisfaction. However, Business Central’s standard order management tools have limitations that can slow down fulfillment, create inefficiencies, and lead to order delays.
This article explores the shortcomings of Business Central’s default order fulfillment process and introduces the Order Fulfillment Worksheet app, a solution that provides real-time inventory allocation and automation for faster, more reliable fulfillment.
Why isn’t standard order management in Business Central fast enough for fulfillment?
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central offers basic order fulfillment features, but many businesses struggle with limited real-time order visibility, manual allocation inefficiencies, lack of prioritization, no automated warehouse movements, and no proactive backorder management.
The Order Fulfillment Worksheet app solves these issues by automating allocation, optimizing fulfillment prioritization, and providing real-time visibility into inventory and order statuses.
How does Order Fulfillment Worksheet improve real-time order visibility?
One of the biggest gaps in Business Central’s standard order fulfillment process is real-time order visibility. Without an automated system that shows which orders can be fulfilled now, businesses may waste time attempting to process backlogged or incomplete orders.
The Order Fulfillment Worksheet app solves this by displaying all sales and transfer orders in the system and calculating their fulfillment status based on available inventory.
Available, partially available, and not available orders are categorized, enabling warehouse teams to focus on orders that can be processed now, improving efficiency and reducing delays.
What problems does Order Fulfillment Worksheet solve in picking, allocation, and backorders?
Manually allocating inventory in Business Central is inefficient and prone to errors. The Order Fulfillment Worksheet eliminates this issue by automatically allocating inventory based on stock levels and order priority.
Another limitation of Business Central’s standard order fulfillment process is manual pick creation. Without automation, warehouse teams must create picking lists manually, leading to inefficiencies and increased processing time. The Order Fulfillment Worksheet automatically generates picking lists based on allocated inventory, groups orders for more efficient warehouse picking and packing, and supports barcode scanning for faster, error-free picking.
Handling backorders is another challenge with Business Central’s built-in tools. With the Order Fulfillment Worksheet, businesses can automatically flag backorders for fulfillment as soon as stock arrives, prioritize backorders based on customer importance and delivery deadlines, and reduce time spent managing incomplete orders.
