Manufacturing Compliance Management, Built Into Dynamics 365 Business Central

A failed audit, a recall, or a retailer chargeback is a five- or six-figure event, and today it's managed on spreadsheets and disconnected quality tools. Folio3 Dynamics moves compliance into the same ERP that runs your production and finance, so you can prove it on demand instead of scrambling to assemble it.

The Problem

Compliance That Lives Outside Your ERP

Manage quality and regulatory compliance in spreadsheets, email approvals, or a standalone QMS that never talks to it. The gap between the two systems is exactly where audits fail, recalls balloon, and penalties land.

Audit-day scramble Evidence scattered across systems

When an ISO 9001 or FDA auditor asks for the inspection record behind a shipped lot, your team stitches it together from spreadsheets, PDFs, and someone's inbox. A finding can cost you the certification — and the customer contracts that depend on it.

Disconnected QMS silos Duplicate entry, no single truth

A standalone quality management tool means re-keying items, lots, and suppliers into a second system — plus a second license, integration, and admin bill. Data drifts, the numbers stop matching, and leadership can't trust either side.

Recall & chargeback risk Traceability you can't prove fast

Without lot and serial genealogy tied to production, a recall or supplier defect turns into a manual hunt. Miss an EDI mandate or a Certificate of Analysis and the chargebacks and penalties follow.

THE FOLIO3 WAY

Compliance Built Into Business Central. Not Bolted On.

Already includes native quality management, item tracking, and audit trails. Folio3 Dynamics turns those capabilities into a working manufacturing compliance management system, mapped to your regulations, wired to your production floor, and owned by a Microsoft Solutions Partner that does manufacturing exclusively.

 One system, one source of truth

Inspections, non-conformances, and lot dispositions post against the same items and transactions your finance and operations teams already use. No sync jobs, no drift, no second login.

ISO 9001, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, FSMA 204, IATF 16949, current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP), we translate the standard you're held to into inspection templates, generation rules, and workflows inside Business Central.

20+ years and 200+ certified Dynamics professionals implementing for real production floors, discrete, process, food, agriculture, pharma and More. We've solved your compliance problem before.

WHAT WE DELIVER

A Complete Compliance Management System for Manufacturing

Six connected capability areas that make Business Central your system of record for quality and regulatory compliance, implemented, configured, and supported by Folio3 Dynamics.

Quality Inspections

Inspection templates and generation rules trigger checks on purchase receipt, production output, and assembly output, manually or on schedule, down to item, lot, serial, or package.

Non-Conformance & CAPA

Failed inspections automatically block the lot, move it to a quarantine bin, and trigger follow-up actions, keeping defective stock out of shipments before it becomes a return, a chargeback, or a recall.

Lot & Serial Traceability

Serial, lot, and package tracking with backward and forward genealogy from raw material to shipped order, so a recall or defect investigation is a query, not a week of digging.

Certificate of Analysis

Generate and attach a Certificate of Analysis to lots and shipments automatically, giving customers and regulators the quality evidence they require at release, so orders ship on time instead of waiting on paperwork.

Audit Trails & E-Signatures

Native change logs and approval workflows capture who did what and when, with configurable e-signature steps for 21 CFR Part 11-style control, so audit prep drops from weeks of evidence-gathering to a filtered report.

Regulatory & Cost Reporting

Power BI compliance dashboards track cost of quality, scrap, right-first-time, supplier defects, and hold status, turning compliance data into decisions leadership can act on.

Automatic lot blocking

Non-conforming lots are blocked from sales, purchasing, service, and production until released.

Quarantine & disposition

Move failed stock to quarantine bins, transfer, return to vendor, or scrap with negative adjustments.

Item tracing & recall

Trace usage-to-origin and origin-to-usage to identify and stop every affected order fast.

Physical attribute checks

Record weight, dimensions, density, and tolerances against specification at inspection.

Reinspection workflows

Automatically generate follow-up inspections for corrective action loops on the same or new template.

Supplier quality control

Inbound inspections and supplier scorecards keep non-conforming raw materials off your floor.

Power Platform automation

Trading-Partner Compliance

Common Questions

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

Does Dynamics 365 Business Central have a manufacturing compliance management module?

Business Central includes native Quality Management alongside serial, lot, and package item tracking, automatic lot blocking, quarantine dispositions, Certificate of Analysis, and full audit trails. It isn't a single button labeled "compliance" — it's a set of connected capabilities. Folio3 Dynamics configures them into a working manufacturing compliance management system mapped to your ISO 9001, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, FSMA 204, IATF 16949, or cGMP requirements.

Standalone quality management software runs as a separate document-centric system that has to be synced with your ERP, which creates duplicate data entry and gaps between what was inspected and what was shipped. In Business Central, compliance lives in the same platform that runs production, inventory, and finance — so every inspection, non-conformance, and lot disposition is tied to a real transaction with a native audit trail. You get audit readiness without a second platform to license, secure, and reconcile.

Yes. Folio3 Dynamics implements EDI manufacturing transactions inside Business Central — including 850 purchase orders, 856 ASNs, 810 invoices, and 940/945 warehouse messages — so your manufacturing supply chain EDI stays compliant with retailer and OEM mandates. Because ASNs are built from live lot and serial data, what you ship matches what you document, which is how chargebacks get avoided.

Folio3 Dynamics supports discrete, process, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, industrial equipment, and automotive manufacturers. Compliance configurations cover FDA and FSMA for food, cGMP and 21 CFR Part 11 for life sciences, ISO 9001 for general manufacturing, IATF 16949 for automotive, and AS9100 for aerospace and defense.

Manufacturing and service functionality requires the Premium license, and advanced quality inspection workflows are configured there. Item tracking and audit logging are available more broadly. During the free assessment, Folio3 reviews your license mix and process requirements so you only pay for what your compliance processes actually need — and don't over-buy.

In most cases, yes. If your core Business Central is stable, we scope a focused engagement to configure quality management, item tracking, non-conformance workflows, and reporting on top of what you already run — no rip-and-replace. If your current implementation has underlying issues, our ERP rescue assessment identifies them first so compliance is built on solid ground.
