Catchweight Management
Catchweight Management is a Bricklead solution for Dynamics 365 Business Central that enables organizations to manage products with variable weights by using a parallel unit of measure known as a catchweight. A catchweight is commonly used in industries where individual items may have different physical weights, even when they are handled and managed as the same inventory item.
When products cannot be accurately managed using quantity alone, Catchweight Management by Bricklead provides the ability to register and track actual weight throughout the supply chain.
Catchweight Management by Bricklead
Many food and process manufacturing companies handle products whose actual weight varies from unit to unit. While these products may be purchased, stored, or sold as standard inventory units, the physical weight remains an important operational and commercial characteristic that must be recorded and controlled.
The Catchweight Management extension introduces parallel weight tracking within Dynamics 365 Business Central, allowing users to register actual weight directly from business transactions. Whether handling procurement activities, sales orders, warehouse operations, or inventory movements, users can maintain visibility of both inventory quantities and actual weight information.
Manage variable-weight products with confidence by capturing the actual weight behind every transaction.
