Missing Functions in the Standard System Are

Your Challenge without the Add-On

You may be familiar with the issue: In the standard system of Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Dynamics NAV/Navision), you can create items with multiple variants, but only one bill of materials per item. Therefore, you cannot create different assembly bills of materials for each variant. For example, if you produce furniture, you could create the base item “Table” with the variants “Red,” “Yellow,” and “Blue,” along with a bill of materials for this item. However, what you cannot do is create individual assembly bills of materials for each variant (e.g., a blue tabletop for the blue table).

How did companies solve this problem so far? Some have created variants as separate items. However, this inflates the item master, leads to loss of overview, and likely results in numerous duplicate variants. Others use alternative add-ons from competitors. These are often developed for complex production processes and are too large for many companies. In our opinion, the best solution is our add-on for variant configuration: anaptis Configuration.
