In this chapter, we installed the MRP application to begin setting up our manufacturing process. A bill of materials was created to define what products would be consumed when our product was manufactured. We manufactured our final product and looked at the inventory analysis report to verify our results. We then turned on the Work Center feature so we could explore how to set up work centers and routings to get more control over our manufacturing operations.

In the next chapter, we will take a closer look at accounting and other reporting options. Setting up your chart of accounts is an important step that we'll cover, as well as reviewing journal entries, creating invoices, and receiving payments. We will also be defining sales taxes and managing fiscal periods. Yes, there is a lot more to cover!
