Prerequisites:

Before attending this course, students should have:

* Completed the basic Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 courses or have equivelent knowledge
* Know how to navigate through the system
* Have experience working with BOMs, or attended a course covering basic BOM concepts
* Have a basic knowledge of scheduling production, planned production orders and master planning concepts

In addition, it is recommended, but not required, that students have taken the Master Planning and Bill of Materials eCollections and have afair understanding of the Trade and Logistics functionality in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009.

Course Description:

This course provides an overview of the basic elements and functionality necessary for understanding the Production module in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009. Key elements include: the highly interactive nature of the module which draws upon information from other modules, an overview of the way in which Bills of materials are used in production, work centers and work center groups used to track equipment and resources for the production process, routes and operations, and the production order life cycle along with the scheduling functions, used to schedule the production of finished goods. In addition, the course is set up to reflect the general workflow and use of the module in the order that it would typically take place. Finally, the course summarizes some of the major new features implemented in the production area for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009. A significant number of these are as a result of the new multisite functionality, however additional changes are covered, such as Gantt Chart improvements, master planning capability across sites, ATP and filter functions on certain forms.

This course is intended for employees of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 partners who work with and set up the Production module, or anyone who wants to pursue certification in production. The audience typically includes application consultants, responsible for assessing customers' business needs and advising them on the use, configuration, and customization of the application. Participants of the course are often individuals that work with the purchasing, production, and material management parts of the software. This course can also be useful for key users of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 who want to gain a deeper knowledge of this part of the software.
