Business Functionality

Advanced Cost Allocations extends the functionality of Dynamics 365 Business Central with features that enable you to:

  • classify costs based on cost type and business function;
  • allocate costs by using defined or calculable allocation keys,
  • calculate the variance between the standard and actual production cost and settle this variance by allocating it to open production orders or by adjusting the value of items received from production.

The articles listed below describe the functionality of the application and provide instructions on how to use the functionality.
