Business value

With this feature, workers can register production work in your manufacturing execution system (MES) without needing manager approval for workers' time registrations and adjustments. If your company doesn't use the time and attendance module in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, this feature provides a faster workflow and simpler setup.

Feature details

This feature separates the processes for manufacturing execution from the approval process for time and attendance.

Production managers configure Supply Chain Management to let managers skip the approval process for recorded work times when adjustments are applied, such as registration errors or unpaid time off. Now, production managers can end production orders without waiting for payroll managers to approve time and attendance.

With this feature, finance controllers can calculate production costs using estimated operation times instead of recorded production times. Use this option for production jobs where time estimates are usually more accurate than recorded times.
