Dynamics 365 Business Central
Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation
Business Central puts finance, sales, purchase, inventory and jobs in one place, and a focused rollout has most businesses live in three to five months.
Six areas Business Central handles out of the box
Finance and accounting
Ledger, payables, receivables, bank reconciliation, fixed assets and the month-end close.
Sales and receivables
Quotations, orders, dispatch, invoicing, credit limits and collection follow-up.
Purchase and payables
Requisitions, approvals, purchase orders, goods receipt and three-way bill matching.
Inventory and warehouse
Multi-location stock, bins, batches, reservations, transfers and stock valuation.
Jobs and light manufacturing
Job costing, assembly, production orders and material consumption against a bill of materials.
Reporting
Standard financial reports plus dashboards built on live data instead of exports.

Questions we are asked
What is Dynamics 365 Business Central?
Business Central is Microsoft's all-in-one business system for small and mid-sized companies. It covers finance, sales, purchase, inventory, warehousing, job costing and basic manufacturing in one product, so a quotation, the order, the dispatch and the invoice live on one record instead of separate files.
How long does a Business Central implementation take?
A standard rollout covering finance, sales, purchase and inventory usually takes three to five months. Adding warehousing, job costing, manufacturing or several integrations extends that. The bigger variable is almost always the state of the data you are bringing across.
Is Business Central right for us, or do we need Dynamics 365 Finance?
Business Central suits most growing businesses: one or a few entities, straightforward manufacturing and a team that wants to be live quickly. Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management suits larger groups with many entities, complex production or heavy compliance. We tell you which fits before you commit to licences.
Can we move from our current accounting software?
Yes, and it is the most common starting point. We map ledgers, customers, suppliers, items and open balances, clean and de-duplicate them, load them and reconcile the opening position so your first close matches the books you are leaving.
Can Business Central be customized for our processes?
Yes. Much of what people ask for is configuration rather than code. Where a genuine gap exists, we build a proper extension so it survives Microsoft's updates.
What does support look like after go-live?
We run the first month-end with you, then continue as your support team: user questions, fixes, new reports, additional processes and testing before each Microsoft update.
