Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is an all-in-one business management solution that helps businesses manage financials, sales, service and operations easier and faster from day one.
If you’re a business owner, your workday often begins at home, triaging emails early in the morning. Having grown the business from the ground up, you know your customers and vendors, and you’re still involved in day-to-day operations. But the bigger the company gets, the more complex your business processes become.
Each email adds something to your to-do list, which typically requires transitioning to a different application. You use accounting software to prepare an invoice, a CRM system to manage your contacts and sales pipeline, and perhaps yet another manufacturing solution to track production or inventory.
Switching back and forth between fragmented, stand-alone solutions takes time and often requires duplicate data entry. This diminished productivity stifles your ability to scale and cuts into the time you could spend developing new business. To keep up the pace of your growth, you’re likely considering the move to a more comprehensive business management solution.
Microsoft has many business solutions. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central helps you get through administrative tasks quickly and easily so you can focus on the big picture, and your team can spend more time taking care of customers. Let’s dive into how Microsoft can help.
Have a look at this introductory video for Microsoft Dynamics Australia.
Microsoft Business Central pricing is outlined below!
Microsoft brings the worlds of business processes and personal productivity together, connecting your people, processes and systems like never before.
Right now, your employees might be the only common link between your business systems and the email, spreadsheet and word processing tools you use every day. This means that they waste a lot of time flipping between apps or cutting and pasting, which can lead to data entry errors. Connected business solutions from Microsoft help pull everything together so your people don’t have to.
With Xero, you pay an extra $10 per user per month just for adding on projects. But if you’re looking for more advanced capabilities such as inventory, CRM, HR and more, the numbers really start to add up. For example, an inventory add-on could see you paying an extra $135 for one user per month (and that’s just for the basic version). You’re looking for a solution that has everything in one place without the huge costs. That’s Business Central. Business Central removes both the stress and cost of maintaining multiple apps, allowing you to access greater functionality as you need, all in the one place.

Finance in Dynamics 365 Business Central, involves working with at least one of the following types of master data:
• G/L accounts
• Dimensions
• Customers
• Vendors
G/L Accounts
G/L accounts in the chart of accounts represent the financial structure of a company. You can set up balance sheet accounts and income statement accounts.
Dimensions
A dimension is the type of information that you want to add to your entry. For example, the cost controller wants to analyze the expenses per department.
Therefore, a dimension called Department can be set up. A dimension value is one of the possible values for a particular dimension that you can add to your entry.
For example, for each department a dimension value will be set up, which is named Sales, Administration, Manufacturing and so on. Dimensions are used for analysis purposes. They enable users to analyse expenses by department, sales by region, by customer group, etc.
Bank Accounts
One of the important tasks to perform by the finance department is processing payments and bank statements. Each bank account has its own card that contains different kinds of information. On the bank account card, you enter information that is specific to the individual bank account, and you can change this information, if this is necessary.
Customers and Vendors
Companies sell their items and services to customers. They also purchase items and services from vendors. Users working in the finance department process customer and vendor invoices and payments. Furthermore, receivables management also might involve sending reminders to customers. After setting up customers and vendors, you can use them in documents and journals.
Good sales and marketing practices are all about how to make the best decisions at the right time. Marketing functionality in Business Central provides precise and timely overview of your contact information so that you can serve your prospective customers more efficiently and increase customer satisfaction.
