Microsoft Dynamics NAV
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an ERP system covering areas such as finance, sales, purchasing and service. It is a predecessor to Dynamics 365 Business Central. Capabilities depend on version, customisations and add-ons; the product names do not mean all installations have identical features.

Illustrative checks before changing a NAV workflow.
- Product version
- Record the actual NAV or Business Central release
- Module and customisation
- Verify the required feature in the installation
- Integration
- Check supported data and actions
- Review
- Test history, failures and accounting reconciliation
New Business Central capabilities cannot simply be attributed to NAV. Upgrades may need intermediate steps and changed customisations.
Questions and answers
Are NAV and Business Central the same?
Business Central continues the NAV product line, but capabilities, deployment and customisations vary by version. Check documentation and the upgrade path for the actual installation.
Does NAV automatically calculate MRR and churn?
Do not assume it as a universal capability. It depends on modules, subscription data, reports and configuration. Use a documented metric policy and reconcile against source data.
Is invoicing the same as recognition?
No. An invoice requests an amount; recognition follows performance and accounting rules. Check separately whether a solution calculates or posts the required recognition schedule.
