Introduction
In process manufacturing in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, a formula defines the materials, ingredients, and outcomes of a specific process. The formula, along with the corresponding route, defines the entire process and is used to plan and manufacture goods in process manufacturing.
Each formula or planning item can have multiple approved formula and formula versions. Formulas could have different formula lines, co-products, by-products, cost definitions, batch size definitions, and as other attributes. Multiple active formula versions are allowed, if the different versions don't overlap the effective dates, sites, or quantity ranges.
A formula consists of the materials and quantities that are required to produce a specific quantity of a formula item. Depending on the task at hand, you can access formula functionality from the Inventory and Warehouse management module, or the Product information management module.
