In D365 FO, the products setup has a complex data model and several related forms.

With the Configure data entry workflow template wizard, you can configure a data entry workflow template for products setup. You can use the wizard to configure an existing step.

  • Create product: Used to enter the product identification data and reference groups.
  • Define units of measure and prices: Used to enter the units of measure and related prices for the product.
  • Define category: Used to define the product category.
