Construction Base links Business Central production orders to construction jobs and Bills of Quantities, and extends the MEGABAU 365 machinery usage line with a site pick category. Two new factbox pages surface the linked production orders on jobs and on Bills of Quantities.
Manufacturing Setup (Business Central standard)
The standard Business Central Manufacturing Setup is extended with defaults for creating production orders from job planning, shown in a new Integration Construction group on the Manufacturing Setup page.

The standard Business Central Production Order table is extended with fields that record the construction source of the production order:

In the background, Construction Base also automatically adds and removes mandatory and optional machinery accessories when a machinery is selected via the Machinery Search on such a line, and ensures a site pick list stays in status "Open" while its lines are being inserted or modified.
New Factbox Pages
Two new Construction Base pages provide a production order overview as a factbox. Neither extends an existing object.
Both factboxes show the number of planned, firm planned, released and finished production orders linked to the job or Bill of Quantities order, and the number of item ledger entries posted for it, each with drill-down to the corresponding list.
