Optimize Order Fulfillment in Business Central with Order Fulfillment Worksheet

Optimize Order Fulfillment in Business Central with Order Fulfillment Worksheet

As warehouses face growing demand and limited stock availability, Order Fulfillment Worksheet brings real-time order management to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, automating picks, shipments, and backorder tracking to keep goods flowing.

Insight Works, a leading Independent Software Vendor (ISV) for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, expands its suite of distribution-focused apps with Order Fulfillment Worksheet, a powerful tool that helps warehouse teams streamline order management, prioritize in-stock orders, and automate fulfillment.

Seamlessly integrated with Business Central, Order Fulfillment Worksheet transforms the order fulfillment process from manual, reactive processes to automated, data-driven ones. The app enables teams to focus on what’s ready to ship today—eliminating delays caused by stock shortages and helping maintain a steady flow of outbound goods. With the Order Fulfillment Worksheet, optimize your order fulfillment process by focusing on in-stock orders.

According to a recent Kardex warehouse operations survey, 30% of warehouse leaders cite inventory visibility as a top operational pain point. The Order Fulfillment Worksheet addresses this challenge head-on by providing real-time insight into stock levels and order readiness, automating warehouse picks and shipments, and seamlessly managing backorders.

Turning Warehouse Complexity into Clarity

When hundreds of orders compete for limited inventory, deciding which to fulfill first can feel like a guessing game. Order Fulfillment Worksheet changes that by giving teams a complete, data-driven view of what’s in stock, what’s partially available, and what requires movement. The result: faster decisions, fewer delays, and a smoother path from order to shipment.

With the Order Fulfillment Worksheet, users can:

  • See at a glance which orders can ship today based on live inventory data.
  • Automatically create picks and warehouse shipments—no manual sorting required.
  • Group and prioritize orders by zone, customer, or due date.
  • Recalculate availability in real time as stock arrives or allocations change.
  • Manage backorders efficiently to fulfill orders promptly once new stock arrives.

“Warehouse teams shouldn’t waste time guessing which orders can ship,” said Brian Neufeld, Director of Marketing at Insight Works. “Order Fulfillment Worksheet gives them a clear answer in seconds, freeing them to focus on getting products out the door.”

Fulfillment for the Modern Warehouse

By embedding advanced fulfillment logic directly inside Business Central, Order Fulfillment Worksheet helps businesses:

  • Reduce manual effort with automated shipment and pick creation.
  • Eliminate stock-related delays and shipping errors.
  • Improve transparency across warehouse operations with real-time availability tracking.
  • Deliver a better customer experience through faster and more reliable order processing.

From small distribution centers to complex multi-location warehouses, Order Fulfillment Worksheet transforms fulfillment from reactive to proactive, ensuring every shipment counts.

When Production Schedules Break Down, MxAPS for Business Central Keeps Manufacturing on Track

When Production Schedules Break Down, MxAPS for Business Central Keeps Manufacturing on Track

As manufacturers navigate global supply chain instability and labor constraints, MxAPS brings automated finite capacity scheduling to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central—turning production plans into achievable, real-world schedules.

Manufacturers around the world are facing a new era of complexity: volatile supply chains, fluctuating material availability, and ongoing capacity constraints. Traditional ERP scheduling often assumes perfect conditions, but production reality rarely aligns with these assumptions. That’s why Insight Works developed MxAPS, a finite capacity scheduling app for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central that replaces guesswork with data-driven planning.

A 2025 Deloitte global manufacturing outlook found that persistent supply volatility and elevated operating costs are pushing producers to adopt more adaptive planning and automation tools. MxAPS delivers that adaptability—helping manufacturers create optimized, executable schedules that reflect real-world constraints such as machine availability, labor, tooling, and materials.

Turning Manufacturing Challenges into Executable Plans

When supply disruptions, maintenance downtime, or workforce shortages occur, static production schedules can collapse within hours. MxAPS transforms that process by introducing finite capacity scheduling inside Business Central. The result: plans that are not only optimized but also achievable.

With MxAPS, manufacturers can:

  • Automatically generate schedules that respect actual machine and labor availability.
  • Sequence operations dynamically, based on customizable rules and production priorities.
  • Run quick “what-if” simulations to compare alternative production strategies.
  • Integrate maintenance and tooling plans to minimize unplanned downtime.
  • Optimize utilization, reduce idle time and cut overtime costs.

“Global manufacturing has become more dynamic—and less predictable—than ever,” said Brian Neufeld, Director of Marketing at Insight Works. “MxAPS gives manufacturers the agility to adapt in real time. Instead of fighting unrealistic production schedules, they can plan with accuracy and confidence.”

Scheduling for the Modern Manufacturing Era

By embedding advanced scheduling logic directly within Business Central, MxAPS enables manufacturers to:

  • Increase throughput and eliminate production bottlenecks.
  • Enhance visibility into capacity constraints before they impact delivery.
  • Reduce operational costs by minimizing rework and excess inventory.
  • Enhance on-time performance by planning realistically, reflecting shop-floor conditions.

In an industry where every hour of downtime matters, MxAPS empowers manufacturers to stabilize operations and maintain profitability—even as supply and demand conditions shift daily.

Availability

MxAPS is available globally through Microsoft AppSource and can be deployed quickly using the built-in setup wizard.
