Setting up Business Central

This page is for administrators.

Raseel Advanced Manufacturing needs two extensions in BC:

  • Floor Planning API (1.0.0.5 or later).
  • Raseel Advanced Manufacturing, installed on top of it.

Then set up the following once per company.

Permissions for the backend​

In Microsoft Entra Applications, open the app registration the .NET backend uses and add the permission set RAM API (Raseel Advanced Manufacturing API), which includes FLOOR API.

Without it, actions fail with “Sorry, the current permissions prevented the action.” People who use the Quality actions in BC need it too.

RAM Setup​

Fill in:

  • Consumption Journal Template and Batch.
  • Requisition Worksheet Template and Name.
  • QC Pause Reason Code (optional). A standard BC reason code stamped on operations a hold pauses.
  • Allow Finish with Unconsumed Components.

QC Hold Reasons​

Add the reasons quality uses, each with a code (up to 10 characters) and a description. A hold can’t be placed without one.

Floor User Setup​

Add each app user, choose a role and adjust the permissions. See Getting started.

Calendars​

Run Calculate Work Center Calendar and Calculate Machine Center Calendar far enough ahead. Schedule and Capacity load stop at the last calculated date.

Items and BOMs​

  • Routings must be Certified.
  • Put routing link codes on BOM lines so parts tie to their operation, and BOM Positions for the sub-assembly groups.
  • Parts posted on Consumption need Flushing Method Manual. Lots and serials need an item tracking code.
  • Material plan uses each item’s lead time, safety stock, order multiple and vendor.

Employees​

The Employee No. is the badge number. Only active employees can clock in.
