Module licensing guide
What this module covers for Malaysian buyers
Why manufacturing needs Premium
Microsoft licenses production management, capacity planning and service-adjacent shop floor features under the Premium user subscription. Planners who create production orders, shop supervisors who post consumption, and costing analysts who run standard cost worksheets need Premium seats. Sales and finance teams can remain on Essentials.
- Premium SKU unlocks manufacturing and service modules
- Essentials users cannot post production order transactions
- Mixed SKU subscription is normal in manufacturing firms
- Crest maps each role to the minimum required tier
Production and assembly scenarios
Assembly management suits kit builders with simpler BOMs without routings. Full manufacturing adds versions, routings, machine centres and scrap tracking. Both sit under Premium licensing. Crest asks about your production depth to size Premium counts accurately.
- Assembly-to-order from sales and project lines
- Versioned BOMs and routings by date
- Simulated orders for quoting and costing
- Make-to-order sub-assemblies on production orders
Costing and capacity planning
Standard and actual costing with detailed material, capacity and subcontracting breakdowns supports Malaysian manufacturers exporting or serving local OEM supply chains. Capacity calendars and finite loading require Premium users who maintain those master records.
- Standard cost worksheets before posting updates
- Scrap on operations and materials in planning
- Capacity ledger entries tied to work centres
- Coexist Essentials users for sales and procurement

FAQ
Business Central Manufacturing Malaysia - common questions
Can manufacturing users be on Essentials?
No. Posting production orders, routings and capacity transactions requires Premium user subscriptions. Crest quotes Premium for shop and planning roles only.
We only assemble kits - do we need Premium?
Assembly management beyond basic inventory is a Premium capability. Crest confirms whether your kitting volume justifies Premium seats versus manual assembly on Essentials.
How does Crest quote a mixed manufacturing org?
We count Premium users for production and service roles, Essentials for office functions, and Team Member for view-only stakeholders. One Ringgit quote covers the blend.
