External Production

The external production functionality (subcontracting) within COSMO Discrete Manufacturing closes the gap between the standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central functionality and the typical requirements of the Discrete Manufacturing industry, such as the handling of enclosures (either by providing material from internal stock or by direct delivery from a vendor) or an advanced pricing functionality.

This topic describes the additional functions used to handle external production in COSMO Discrete Manufacturing.

The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them.
