With production runs that never stop, you need a manufacturing ERP that can keep up, and Texo has the solution you need with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This single platform, multi-functional system ensures that the planning, execution and costs for smooth, traceable, and profitable manufacturing operations all work in tandem for optimal efficiency.
Modern production requires more than just tracking manufacturing orders; it requires careful orchestration of capacities, materials, subcontractors, and costs.
Business Central helps efficiently coordinate planning (MPS/MRP), bills of materials and routings, manufacturing orders, cost centers, and costing, all in a single platform.
The result: end-to-end visibility, controlled lead times, and clarified margins.
As you are no doubt aware, today’s manufacturing sector is going through a complex period of change and upheaval. Between rising costs, supply chain disruptions and market unpredictability, companies are facing multiple challenges, including:
By aligning the Master Production Schedule (MPS) with your forecasts and orders.
With multi-level bills of materials (BOMs) including versions, substitutions, unstocked “phantom” items (Phantom BOMs) and routings; operations, setup times, workstations, and tools.
By creating and launching your production orders with the relevant workstations, planned quantities, and associated time by recording times and quantities from the shop floor.

The master production schedule (MPS) focuses on what finished goods to produce and when, based on sales forecasts, firm sales orders, and inventory levels. MPS helps you build a realistic production plan for make-to-stock and make-to-order items.
Conversely, material requirements planning (MRP) calculates the raw materials and components required to support that plan. It looks at existing inventory, open purchase orders, and lead times to suggest new supply orders (purchase orders, production orders, transfer orders).
In short, MPS plans finished goods, while MRP plans the materials behind them, both using the same integrated planning engine in Business Central manufacturing.
Yes you can create versions by product, season, or customer, activate substitutions, and track the impact on costs and lead times.
Via the subcontracting worksheet, which sends materials, receives the operation, services costs, and monitoring deadlines.
Yes, Business Central manufacturing does support the above three production modes. It allows you to define the appropriate manufacturing policy at the item level, so that each product follows the right flow:
This flexibility allows you to adapt Business Central manufacturing to your real-life production strategy, whether you’re primarily make-to-stock, make-to-order, or a mix of both.
Standard, FIFO (first-in, first-out), weighted average, specific cost, with variance analysis (materials/time) and general ledger posting.
Through capacity planning (loads/capacities, priorities, shifts), simulations and scenarios (overtime, subcontracting).
Real-time reports and KPIs, recommendations (forecasts, deadlines), and assisted document/analysis are generated for faster decision-making.
Yes, via operation and non-compliance records; the associated costs are reflected in your margins and reports.
