The Cloud ERP Solution Designed for Growing and Mid-Market Businesses
Let’s face it. Most accounting software isn’t built for business growth, and most industry-specific solutions lack the operational depth that growing organizations need. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central combines robust financial management, supply chain operations, sales, project management, and manufacturing functionality with the flexibility and scalability of the Microsoft cloud.
Business Central provides out-of-the-box capabilities to rapidly and affordably deploy a complete ERP solution across your finance, operations, and service teams. It is available as a fully managed cloud subscription on Microsoft Azure, with no server infrastructure to manage and automatic updates delivered twice per year.
Features and Functionality
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is ideally suited to meet industry specific needs of organizations such as:
- Professional Services – supports project-based billing, job costing, time and expense tracking, and resource management for services firms.
- Distribution and Wholesale – manages inventory across multiple locations, automates purchasing, and streamlines order-to-cash processes.
- Manufacturing – handles bills of materials, production orders, routing, and capacity planning for discrete and process manufacturers.
- Nonprofit and Government – supports dimensional accounting, grant tracking, and fund management alongside core financials.
The business management solutions included in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central are designed to automate your organization’s unique business processes and accelerate your success. Business Central is available in two editions:
- Essentials Edition – includes Financial Management, Sales, Purchasing, Inventory and Warehouse Management, Supply Chain Planning, and Project Management.
- Premium Edition – includes everything in Essentials plus Manufacturing and Service Management.
Each edition provides per-user, per-month licensing with access to the full Microsoft 365 ecosystem and Microsoft Copilot AI at no additional cost.
Below is an overview of the key functionality and product capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Financial Management and Accounting
Make better financial decisions with the comprehensive accounting capabilities of Dynamics 365 Business Central. Manage your General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, bank reconciliation, fixed assets, and cash flow forecasting in one unified system. Automate recurring journal entries, close your books faster, and generate real-time financial reports across multiple companies and currencies.
Sales (Order-to-Cash)
Manage your complete sales cycle from quote through order fulfillment and invoicing. Business Central keeps your sales team connected to real-time inventory availability, customer credit status, and order history without leaving the sales screen. The Sales Order Intake with Copilot processes incoming customer orders from emails automatically, reducing manual entry for high-volume operations.
Purchasing (Procure-to-Pay)
Streamline your complete procurement process from vendor selection through purchase order creation, receipt, invoice matching, and payment processing. Configurable approval workflows route purchase orders based on amount, department, or vendor. Copilot-driven invoice suggestions learn from your posting history to accelerate invoice coding and reduce AP processing time.
Inventory and Warehouse Management
Gain complete control over your inventory with real-time stock visibility across multiple locations, flexible costing methods (FIFO, LIFO, Average, Standard), and warehouse capabilities that scale from a single stockroom to a full directed put-away and pick operation. Track serial numbers, lot numbers, and expiration dates with full item traceability.
Supply Chain and Planning
Connect demand and supply through an intelligent planning engine that calculates what to purchase or produce, when to do it, and from which source. Business Central’s Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Master Production Scheduling (MPS) generate suggested purchase and production orders based on demand forecasts, reorder points, and vendor lead times.
Project Management (Job Costing)
For professional services firms and project-based organizations, Business Central provides integrated job costing, resource management, time and expense tracking, and project billing connected directly to your general ledger. Track budgets vs. actuals in real time, calculate work-in-progress using multiple recognition methods, and analyze profitability across your entire project portfolio.
Manufacturing
Plan and manage production with bills of materials, routings, production orders, and capacity planning natively integrated with your financials and inventory. Business Central’s manufacturing module handles discrete and process manufacturing for mid-market organizations, with material costs, labor, and overhead flowing directly from the shop floor to your general ledger without manual entries.
Requires Premium license.
Service Management
Manage service orders, recurring service contracts, and technician dispatching for organizations that deliver ongoing maintenance and repair operations. Service management is fully integrated with inventory, financials, and accounts receivable — service orders consume parts from stock, labor posts to the general ledger, and invoices flow through your standard billing process.
Requires Premium license.
