How do you handle prepayments when items are being specially ordered for customer and he is obliged to pay the item beforehand? Need to link the payment to the sales order (SO) but not post the SO yet since there is no qty in stock. Similarly, how would prepayment be submitted and associated it with purchase order (PO)? These are the questions, answered in this tutorial.

 

Our intention through this tutorial is to demonstrate a procedure where we could investigate the items required for manufacturing a product e.g. a lamp, consolidating these items on various levels and on the basis of quantities into a rough BOM description, and then finally creating this BOM into the ERP system like Dynamics Axapta 2009. So let's begin with understanding of BOM creation in Inventory management module. We have taken a scenario of customer customizable lamp because through using this scenario we want to discover as many options in AX as possible like in Production, Product Builder, Inventory Management, Sales Order, Purchase order modules. However, reader can choose any other scenario as the interest may be.
