Functionality in detail

The building blocks of the mse Framework.

The following capabilities show how the mse Framework extends Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central across finance, inventory, documents, text control, availability, reporting, and production.

Finance and Inventory

A true distinction between total-cost and cost-of-sales accounting methods, plus advanced inventory posting with separate purchasing, sales, and production transactions.

Production functionality requires a BC Premium license.

Automatic Dimensions

Automatic dimension creation when setting up master data—for consistent reporting without repetitive manual work.

Flexible Custom Fields

Add up to 20 fields per selected table group without custom programming. Data types, option values, defaults, required-field indicators, and table relations support business-specific configuration; selected values can be transferred to purchasing and sales documents or planning worksheet lines.

Full Report Framework

A modern, industry-standard report layout that is ready to use after a quick setup for the following documents:

  • Sales Quote
  • Sales Order Confirmation
  • Sales Blanket Order Confirmation
  • Sales Shipment
  • Sales Invoice
  • Sales Credit Memo
  • Sales Return (RMA)
  • Purchase Quote
  • Purchase Order
  • Purchase Blanket Order
  • Purchase Credit Memo
  • Purchase Receipt
  • Purchase Return Shipment
  • Sales Reminder

HTML Long Texts

Long texts for items and documents, including document and line pre-/post-texts, promotional content, header and footer controls, and image printing in documents.

Flexible Text Control

Multilingual support, scheduling, and both static and document-editable texts. Freely configurable placeholders add supplemental content without programming.

Right-Sized Item Availability View

Preset Item Availability by Event to open by day, week, month, quarter, or year. The analysis starts with the time aggregation that best fits the planning horizon.

Structured Documents

Line numbers as structured layouts or lists, color control for line types, integrated headings, and true subtotals. Manual page breaks and an optional hidden report total also support extensive documents and alternative quotes.

Shipping Monitor

View open sales lines alongside available inventory for a quick overview of upcoming shipments and the stock available to fulfill demand.

Shop-Floor Data and Production Control

Purpose-built screens for posting actual production data, plus filters for identifying and batch-finishing completed production orders. Finished orders can be reopened when posting corrections are required.

Requires a BC Premium license.

Sales Order Traceability in Production

See the originating sales order, line, position number, and external document number directly on production orders and production-order lists. The additional fields can be filtered and sorted as needed.

Order History

Traceable order history as the data foundation for accurate incoming-order statistics.

Cross-Functional Extensions

Invoice addresses on customer records and sales tax determination based on the sales ship-to address add further practical capabilities to the Business Central standard.

Flexible Price Selection

Customer-specific prices can take priority by design, even when the standard best-price calculation would find a lower price for all customers.
