Configuration of variants in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Small functional range in the system standard

If you want to create variants via Dynamics 365 Business Central or Dynamics NAV, this is complicated and cumbersome in the system standard.

The functionality is initially limited to the fact that different variants can be created per article, but not different assembly parts lists. If you want to create different articles with individual assembly parts lists, this is only possible in the system standard by creating a separate article.

You can imagine that the list of articles becomes confusingly long as a result. In addition, the system standard does not automatically recognize duplicates.

This means that companies are not very flexible when it comes to processing individual orders. Finally, specifications are difficult and time-consuming to implement.

Competitor tools have too much or too little functionality

Conventional variant configurators for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central offer either too large or too small a scope of services.

For example, you can also manage machine allocation plans in a competitor’s tool, which is too much of an administrative burden for many small and medium-sized companies.
