So, with a simpler way available in Dynamics NAV to convert multiple products into a single product you have to look into if the assembly functionality is more applicable compared to the manufacturing functionality, especially for smaller companies with simpler requirements (the preferred choice is not always obvious). Most companies want their employees to spend more time producing products and less time interacting with a software (I would the same if it was my company). My approach to manufacturing is always to keep it as simple as possible and to use the functionality that is needed, that adds value and not just because something is available. The question when implementing Dynamics NAV is then when do you recommend the assembly functionality instead of the manufacturing functionality and is it wise to use both at the same time? It is a great addition to the functionality in Dynamics NAV and gives companies with basic assembly operations a simpler option compared to using the manufacturing functionality in NAV.


With Dynamics NAV 2013 came the assembly management.
