Business value
To help partners demonstrate the advanced capabilities of Business Central, we're making a demo tool that provides setup and data for warehouse and inventory scenarios.
Feature details
The Contoso Coffee app provides a demo tool and a related set of demo data for warehousing scenarios. You can install the extension in any environment. Presales specialists can run the tool on Cronus or MyCompany and get the setup and demo data needed to demonstrate various scenarios. For Business Central on-premises, the demo tool and data are available on the product media as source code.
The Contoso Coffee app provides three locations that are optimized for different scenarios:
- SILVER: This location is configured to use bins. It can be easily configured to support basic or advanced warehouse flows.
- YELLOW: This location uses the advanced warehouse configuration, but doesn't use bins. It can be reconfigured to support basic configurations.
- WHITE: This location uses the advanced warehouse configuration with directed put-aways and picks. Directed put-aways and picks let businesses use rules to control how items move throughout a warehouse.
Scenarios
The Contoso Coffee warehousing demo data supports the following scenarios for testing and training:
- Walkthrough of inbound and outbound flow in basic warehouse configurations.
- Walkthrough of inbound and outbound flow in mixed warehouse configurations.
- Walkthrough of inbound and outbound flow in advanced warehouse configurations with directed put-away and pick.
