Product Overview
This book focuses on how Dynamics AX supports supply chain management (SCM) in manufacturing and distribution businesses. It provides an overview of the essential business processes and capabilities, and presents a linear sequence of topics that build on each other. It covers the embedded conceptual models that ultimately shape your vocabulary for describing system usage. The targeted reader consists of SCM professionals that need to initially learn AX. This Essential Guide represents an abbreviated version of Supply Chain Management using Microsoft Dynamics AX: 2016 Edition. The Essential Guide focuses on topics that apply to both distribution and manufacturing, but skims over the manufacturing-related topics due to book length considerations. These topics are covered in the complete book. The book contents cover two major options currently available for using AX, which can be labeled Dynamics AX 2012 R3 and the new Dynamics AX. The two options provide the same supply chain management functionality with some slight differences, so that the book contents apply to both options.
