Standard Task - How does it really work?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 25

Hi there.

I am trying to figure out what exactly the Standard Tasks in Manufacturing could help for.

Can someone better explain how exactly does it work and how to apply it?

Relevant examples are really appreciated.

Thank you.

    Hello There,

    To give you an example:

    You may have operations you do may always use the same tools (Fork lift), personnel (Dave), description (Reach)  and quality measures ( ). so you bundle these into a standard task with a description you can understand that summarises the task like Reach F/L

    Then when you are creating a routing there is a standard task code option where you can assign all of these attributes to the operation in one go by picking the standard task rather than the description coming from the work centre and you having to define the tools, personnel, description and quality measures against the routing.

    It is very similar to the standard purchase and sales lines saving a bit of time on data input

    Greetings,

    Thank you for posting on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Forum.

    I was able to locate a separate on-line posting related to Standard Tasks in Manufacturing from the Dynamicsuser Forum. The responses include really good examples of the usage for Standard Tasks.

    https://dynamicsuser.net/nav/f/users/937/have-you-ever-used-standard-task

    Hopefully, this will provide you with a concrete example of its usage.

    Have a great day.

    Best Regards,
    Tom
