Posted on by

As part of global implementation for my customer i have a unique requirement , my customer is electronics manufacturer pretty much discreate manufacturing sometimes lean.

one of the site need to use substitution in planning , as i have tested in D365 Substitution in planning exist in Process manufacturing and it works exactly what they need.

issue is.

Process Manufacturing License key is not active, we have already implemented couple of sites. 

what will be down side if i activate Process manufacturing license key now?

just to achieve substitution we are making above changes , is there any ISV/VAR that has done this in discrete manufacturing ?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Yashpal,

    I think it would be quite safe to enable the license key for process manufacturing. For sure do this in a test environment first and test the current processes carefully before making some adjustments in setup to ensure there is no impact at all.

    Hi Andre,

    thank you for your reply

    When we activate key for process engineering , Field on Released Product "Production Type" comes to life again.

    when license key  was off this field was not even visible.

    After activation all values in this field are set to None, even for the Produced parts those were having BOM are set to None.

    if you go to Engineering tab on released product for Items With BOM you will see that options for BOM is disabled .

    BOM and BOM versions are still there but link with released products is broken.

    if you create production order for any old produced item you will get error.

    if you change "Production Type" of these items to BOM to fix this issue, BOM version is deleted. .

    These are my findings, I am not sure are there any more stones those are unturned.

    I am wondering is there any script to run for data correction when we turn on this key?
