What's new – iDynamics Shopfloor

Version 26.0

Indicate "Applies-to Entry" to reverse a posted output

Shopfloor now allows selecting the output entry (Applies-to Entry / Liq. por nº orden) when reversing a posted output directly from the manufacturing screen, preventing errors when multiple output entries exist.

See the full explanation and screenshots:

Calculate Deviation % when creating the Production Order from the Planning Worksheet

The Deviation Percentage feature is now also applied during planning.
When calculating planning, components inherit the deviation percentages defined in the Production BOM.

Version 25.2

Deviation percentage to require manual consumptions before posting

A new enhanced validation is added for manual component consumption, based on a
Deviation Percentage defined in the Production BOM.
When Manual Consumption Type = Forced Consumption, the system only allows posting production if all manual-consumption components fall within the permitted range.

Version 25.1

Automatic backward consumption in subcontracting

This version introduces an improvement in the subcontracting flow, available when the “Automatic Subcontracting” option is active in Shopfloor Setup. Automatic subcontracting field

If enabled, when posting the purchase order linked to the subcontracted production order line, components with backward consumption are automatically posted — exactly as if the output were posted in a non-subcontracted manufacturing scenario.

As a result, both output and consumption entries are generated: Automatic subcontracting entries

This ensures a more reliable and controlled process in subcontracted manufacturing scenarios.

Automatic calculation of components using percentages in the Production BOM

This version introduces a major improvement in the management of Production BOMs, allowing components to be defined using percentages, automatically calculating the required quantity in both the BOM and in Production Orders.

Previously, Business Central only supported fixed quantities.
With this feature, quantities are dynamically recalculated according to the percentage entered, respecting:

  • the component’s Unit of Measure (UOM)
  • the finished product’s UOM
  • rounding precision
  • conversion rules

This is especially useful for formulas, mixtures, and products with specific proportions.

New field: % Proportion in the Production BOM

Defines what percentage of the total each component represents.

Proportion field

Automatic recalculation of “Quantity per”

When the percentage changes:

  • Quantity is automatically recalculated
  • If the component and finished product UOM differ, conversion is applied
  • Rounding rules of the item are respected

New action: Check percentage

Verifies that the sum of percentages is exactly 100%, showing a warning otherwise.

70% incorrect

If correct:

100% correct

In Production Orders

When a Production Order is created or refreshed, the percentages are automatically transferred:

  • Applying the percentage
  • Converting between units (PCS ↔ KG)
  • Applying rounding precision

Version 25.0

Improved manual consumption calculation based on component UOM

The logic for manual component consumption in Shopfloor is improved so that all calculations use the component’s Unit of Measure.
Previously, calculations were done using base quantity, since BC manages tracking in base units, leading to discrepancies for components with alternate units.

From this version onward, the application:

  • Automatically converts base quantities to the component UOM
  • Shows Reserved Quantity and To Consume in the UOM indicated on the component line

Example

A component has base UOM KG and an alternate UOM GR: Component UOM

We create a component line in GR: Component line in GR

If we open tracking from BC, it appears in base UOM (KG).
In this example: 8 of 12 KG, equal to 8000 GR: Tracking in base quantity

In Shopfloor, we see 8000 GR reserved and the detailed tracking entries in GR: Tracking in component UOM
