This guide walks you through the key processes and features of the BE-terna Reactor Mobile Manufacturing module. The app allows shop floor workers to efficiently post production order data on mobile devices—minimizing paper usage, improving accuracy, and streamlining confirmations directly in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Supported Production Activities

The module supports the following manufacturing processes:

• Production Output Registration 
• Component Consumption
• Working Time Registration (Setup & Run Time)
• Scrap Reporting

Setting up the module

To be able to use the module, you need our Reactor Client and the BE-terna Reactor Platform Core App (AppSource). Please see the help page in the BE-terna Reactor Platform Core App AppSource offering to get and install the client or contact us if you need assistance.

To use the module, please add it from the AppSource to your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central environment. Now you can customize the app to your needs. To do this, search for the “BE-Mobile Fusion Setup” in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and use the settings in the “Manufacturing” FastTab.
