Microsoft Business Solutions Great Plains is marketed for mid-size companies as well as Navision (which has very good positions in Europe and emerging markets where it can be easily localized).

The System Manager (SM) module functions as the backbone for the whole Microsoft Business Solutions Great Plains ERP System.

System Manager’s efficient set-up processes and easy-to-use navigation tools help you personalize your solution to meet your business needs quickly and with minimal effort. Instantly create queries against your data or access more than 100 modifiable SmartList queries to find customer, vendor, inventory, or other vital information and then share saved queries with others. Manage your data quickly and effectively with easy-to-use tools that configure your system to the way you work. A minimal learning curve and intuitive interface mean your employees are working productively right from the start.

Features:

Interview Style Setup – Configure the accounting system with a simple interview-style wizard that steps through the set-up procedures.
Intuitive User Interface – Initiate tasks quickly and easily using the intuitive navigation and user interface.
Integration with Reporting Tools – Integrate seamlessly with Great Plains Report Writer and Crystal Reports® to create professional-looking reports containing the exact information you need.
Notes – Improve control and audit capabilities by attaching detailed information to master records and transactions.
Modify Data Entry Window – Use Modifier with Microsoft Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) to add business-specific functions into data entry and inquiry windows.
List-Based Navigation - Speed performance for routine tasks with list-based navigation that let users locate a record once and then select and perform actions against that record. For example, an employee can create and save a list of their customers, and when a customer’s records need updating, the employee simply selects the appropriate customer from the list.
Business Alerts – Use business alerts to automatically warn a pre-defined list of decision makers via a customized e-mail message when a specified business condition, such as reaching a checking account balance, is met.
Type Ahead – Auto-fill customer IDs, shipping methods, Tax IDs and any other field that has an associated lookup window in Microsoft Great Plains.

Reminders – Schedule reminders for tasks, then assign reminders to specific users for follow-up actions.
