If a business’s products don’t map cleanly onto a standard BOM, quoting and order entry usually mean workarounds: rebuilding routings by hand, guessing at costs, or telling the customer “let me check with engineering.” Join this webinar and learn how to leverage Business Central to configure both simple and complex products and then create the BOM. We’ll take real, audience-relevant product scenarios, configure them live with advanced rule builders and configuration tools, and show exactly how to streamline the product configuration process.
