By default, Business Central on-prem sandbox is deployed with
Essentials type of user license. There would be no manufacturing
features by that. However you can activate premium functionality
and enable manufacturing, using this official guide:

Approach to sales and implementation, suggestions to manage customizations
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: Licensing
Microsoft:
- become more agile to deliver on customer
feedback, partner requests and to keep up with
the direction of industry and technology
- less likely to have a 5 year roadmap for specific
features
- If your top customer-requested feature is not on
that list, and you're considering investing in
working around it or building your own – proceed
with that investment if it is not too heavy,
knowing that it might become redundant within
3-9 months. Any heavy investment is worth
discussing beforehand
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: Licensing
Customer is responsible for what he is doing inside
Business Central (data input, jobs running and so
on).
Partner is responsible for what customer can
do inside Business Central (setups, rights,
extensions).
Microsoft is responsible for availability of Business
Central, tenant maintenance and backups
Who and how is in charge of supporting the BC solutions?
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: Licensing
Microsoft does not have any limitations to
database size and user count per tenant
D365BC databases run on Azure SQL DB
elastic S-tier pools, backups are taken as
a standard feature of that service
You don’t have admin rights on that SQL
