Microsoft® Business Solutions–Navision® Dimensions makes it easier to filter and sort ledger data. With this feature, you can attribute an unlimited number of characteristics, such as regions, periods, or departments, to use in transactions in all ledgers. The application area allows you to set up rules for how to combine dimensions and dimension values. You can also control the use of dimensions to make the dimensions-based output more valuable. Dimension rules for prioritizing default values and analysis views can also be set up to fit specific business needs.

Multiple Currencies, Multiple Languages
Companies engaged in cross-border business operations need to manage multiple currencies in all their operations. With Microsoft Navision, you can easily set up and maintain multiple currencies throughout the solution for a variety of application areas, including payables and receivables, general ledger reports, bank accounts, and resource/inventory items. Microsoft Navision also makes it easier to run a multilingual company that meets the needs of customers, vendors and employees. The solution’s Multilanguage functionality allows users to select the language in which they communicate with customers, partners, and other business contacts.

Business Analytics
Business Analytics for Microsoft Navision allows you to turn your data into business critical information. Business Analytics supports Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) services with interactive graphical views for analyzing key performance indicators and visualizing trends, patterns, and relationships. Business Analytics maintains simplicity and ease of use for Microsoft Navision, presenting information within a familiar Microsoft Outlook-style interface, and providing easy-to-use tools that allow all users in your organization to perform dynamic analysis and reporting across all areas of your business.

System Management
The Microsoft® Business Solutions–Navision® System Management application allows you to set up and define activities within the Microsoft Navision database. The Microsoft Navision main menu has a Navigation pane, similar to the one in Microsoft Outlook 2003, combining easy-to-access menu information with personalization options. Customized menus and windows can be assigned for specific users so that each user only has access to the functionality they need for their particular job. In addition, access rights for subsidiaries and users can be defined and controlled by an administrator, and Internet access can also be permitted.

In addition, Microsoft Dynamics NAV also can be integrated with a wide range of other software products, so even if a small business already has substantial IT infrastructure, it can be used with Microsoft Dynamics NAV so that a business makes the most of its IT investment.
