MakeToOrder
Automatic management of date changes in Business Central
MakeToOrder ensures that changes to production dates are handled correctly on multi-line production orders in Business Central. When the due date on a production order line is changed, the app identifies the entire underlying structure of related production orders, temporarily removes reservations, updates all relevant dates on the production order, and then re-establishes the reservations.
This means that even complex order structures are rescheduled consistently and reliably - without errors and without the need for manual cleanup. MakeToOrder supports standard processes in Business Central and enables planners to work safely and consistently when production orders need to be moved forward or backward in time.
The app works directly in Business Central and requires no integrations or additional setup.
Key benefits
Automatic rescheduling of related orders
When the due date on a production order is changed, all underlying related production orders are automatically updated, ensuring that the overall order structure remains correct.
Stable reservation handling
Reservations are automatically saved, removed, and re-established, ensuring that date changes do not cause errors or broken dependencies in Business Central.
Less manual cleanup
Planning changes typically require manual review of each order. MakeToOrder reduces the time spent and ensures a more efficient workflow.
Accurate planning foundation
When dates are updated consistently, both planners and production gain a more realistic view of capacity and order progress.
Supports complex production structures
The app also handles semi-finished and intermediate items that are part of the main production order, ensuring that all levels are rescheduled using the same logic.
Respects the production calendar
Dates are updated based on the company’s production calendar, ensuring that changes align with actual available working time.
