Enhancing Dynamics 365 Business Central to Maximize Order Fulfillment
Prompt, accurate order fulfillment is essential to maintaining customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. Yet many businesses continue to struggle in this area. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central offers a comprehensive set of order fulfillment capabilities, such as:
- Order entry and tracking
- Inventory management and replenishment
- Warehouse management
- Streamlined logistics, including label printing and shipment tracking
While these native capabilities address the requirements of most small to mid-sized businesses, some companies have more specialized or advanced order fulfillment requirements that require adding a third-party software add-on application, such as the Order Fulfillment Worksheet from Insight Works.
Here are eight ways the Order Fulfillment Worksheet can enhance Business Central’s functionality in several key areas:Â
Track order status in real time
Knowing the status of orders at all times can prevent delays and ensure accuracy. The Order Fulfillment Worksheet app tracks orders in real time and indicates whether they are fully or partially available. This information helps companies respond quickly to changes in order status to reduce downtime and enhance fulfillment efficiency.
Generate picks and shipments automatically
Generating picks and shipments by hand is inefficient and error-prone. The Order Fulfillment Worksheet app automatically creates warehouse picks and associated shipments with just a few clicks, saving time and ensuring accuracy.
Prioritize orders
Being able to process high-priority orders first is critical for quality customer service and customer retention. With the Order Fulfillment Worksheet app, users can assign priority levels to specific orders, processing them first while maintaining efficient fulfillment.
Manage backorders efficiently
The Order Fulfillment Worksheet app identifies products needed to fulfill backorders immediately upon receiving the product to reduce delays and maintain customer satisfaction.
Maintain detailed inventory information
Having the optimum inventory of each item avoids excessive capital outlay and carrying costs while insulating you from running out of in-demand items. Use the Order Fulfillment Worksheet app to gain granular visibility into inventories on hand and the quantities required for each replenishment order to avoid stockouts or overstocks.
Group orders for more efficient logistics
Optimize your logistics by grouping orders based on carrier, region, or customer. Leverage the Order Fulfillment Worksheet app to help you select the best picking order and shipping process to lower logistics costs and shipping times.
Identify and proactively address potential fulfillment issues
Early identification of potential issues is crucial for smooth order processing. The Order Fulfillment Worksheet app provides comprehensive insights into each order line, highlighting potential fulfillment hindrances. Leveraging this data allows you to address problems before they occur and maintain seamless operations.
Enhance workflows with custom sort and filter options
Prioritize tasks and streamline order management processes using the custom sorting and filtering options in the Order Fulfillment Worksheet app. Users can filter orders based on criteria such as shipment date, customer, or region.
