## Overview

Contoso Coffee demo data gives a fictitious company with sample data for trying out Business Central capabilities. The introduction page describes the data and the modules it covers: manufacturing, warehousing, service and common, plus configuration and demo data setup.

Four subtopics hold the walkthroughs. Manufacturing has 11 pages, Warehousing 4, Service 3 and Quality management 4. Each one combines sample data with scenarios you can follow step by step.

Start with the introduction page to understand the data and how it is set up. Then pick the subtopic that matches the area you want to learn.

## Key points

- The introduction page describes the fictitious Contoso Coffee company data and covers demo data setup, configuration and the common module.
- Manufacturing walkthroughs cover production BOMs, routings, capacity, flushing, planning, variants and subcontracting.
- Warehousing uses three locations that show basic, mixed and advanced configurations.
- Warehousing scenarios cover receiving, put-away, picking, moving and shipping in each setup.
- Service data includes sample resources, skills, service items and loaner items.
- Service walkthroughs cover service orders and service contracts for service items.
- Quality management includes installing the demo data and three inspection scenarios.
- The quality scenarios are automatic from production output, automatic from a warehouse receipt with reinspection, and manual from purchase item tracking.

## Subtopics

- [Manufacturing](contoso-coffee-demo-data/manufacturing.md) (11 pages)
- [Warehousing](contoso-coffee-demo-data/warehousing.md) (4 pages)
- [Service](contoso-coffee-demo-data/service.md) (3 pages)
- [Quality management](contoso-coffee-demo-data/quality-management.md) (4 pages)
