Work Centers

In manufacturing, the work center is where the work actually happens, so a planner who schedules production needs those work centers to exist on the planning board as something they can drop jobs onto. This integration sends your Business Central work centers to Dime.Scheduler, where they show up as resources alongside everything else you plan. Once that link is in place, scheduling against a work center is no different from scheduling against a person or a piece of equipment. This page covers how to turn work center planning on and the two small additions the integration makes to the work center pages.

Setup​

Enable work center solution​
