Module licensing guide
What this module covers for Malaysian buyers
Purchasing module licensing
Vendor setup, purchase quotes, orders, return orders and invoice discount rules are part of the standard Essentials footprint. Each buyer and approver needs an appropriate user SKU - full users for creators, Team Member for approvers where permissions allow. Crest maps your procurement org chart to subscription counts.
- Vendor templates and alternative vendor records
- Blanket purchase orders with scheduled releases
- Purchase prepayments and invoice consolidation
- Non-stock items via vendor catalogues
Planning and demand forecasting
Automated supply planning generates purchase, transfer, assembly and production suggestions from demand. The Sales and Inventory Forecast extension adds Azure ML predictions. Extensions may have their own licensing terms beyond Business Central users - Crest flags these on your quote.
- Master production schedule and MRP runs
- Order promising with ATP and CTP dates
- Reservation worksheet for critical components
- Forecast inputs by item, variant and location
Product information management
Item attributes, variants, units of measure and cross-references support catalogue complexity without extra module SKUs. Copilot marketing text suggestions follow Copilot eligibility on user subscriptions. Crest sizes user counts for item administrators and planners separately from warehouse staff.
- Item hierarchies with custom attributes
- Variant SKUs for colour, size or revision
- Cross-reference numbers from vendors and customers
- Copilot-generated item descriptions for ecommerce sync

FAQ
Business Central Supply Chain Malaysia - common questions
Is MRP included in Business Central licensing?
Planning and MRP features are included with Essentials and Premium user subscriptions. Users who run planning worksheets need full user licences, not Team Member.
Do forecasting extensions cost extra?
Some Azure-connected extensions are licensed separately from core Business Central users. Crest identifies extension requirements on your Ringgit quote.
How many purchasing users should we licence?
Count buyers, planners and receivers who post transactions as Essentials or Premium. Crest reviews whether approvers can use Team Member to reduce cost.
