David Laster shares 5 best features of Dynamics 365 Business Central

 

While it’s hard to pick and choose the best of the best, here are the top 5 features of Business Central that can benefit your company!

R

Financial dimensions

Business Central allows users to tag financial entries with dimension values. These dimensions allow users to categorize and filter their General Ledger and other entries. Creating these dimensions and maintaining these lists independent of each other is a big benefit that allows users to better organize and analyze their data.
R

Personalized user interface

Besides being highly customizable, Business Central’s user interface is also very easy to personalize. While customizations require a developer, personalization gives the end-user the power to really tailor their homepage or workspace in Business Central to fit their needs. This web-based user interface offers more flexibility for personalization than the more rigid legacy ERP solutions, such as Dynamics GP.

R

Excel integration for reporting

Dynamics 365 Business Central allows users to utilize another favorite from the Microsoft universe – Excel. Users can seamlessly and efficiently use Excel as a medium to export and visualize data from Business Central. Specifically, the Excel reports that have embedded pivot table functionality are phenomenal for analyzing data. The ability to pull information into an Excel file, make some edits, and push that data back into Business Central saves users a lot of time and supports more informed decision making.
R

Flexibility to tailor workflows

Business Central is a flexible ERP solution, which means that it offers more than one way to do things. For instance, sometimes Business Central users can find three or four different ways to enter vendor payments. This provides users with the flexibility to tailor their workflow to what best suits their team or business.
R

Highly customizable ERP

Business Central is highly customizable. The solution has an extension layer where Microsoft provides the base that ISVs, VARs, and partners like GraVoc can build upon to enhance the platform and provide users with customizations. Business Central is much easier to customize than legacy ERP platforms.
