Does NAV have the capability of handling departments or cost centres against customers

E.g. Users within a business can be attributed to a finance department, sales, marketing and you can then report on the spend made by these departments

what is the best way to handle this in NAV

Hi,

you can do this using dimensions. By using dimensions when posting in NAV, these dimensions are registered as an extra property of all entries (g/l, item ledger, ..).

The use and the setup can be found in the documentation, it's not easy to describe it in a few lines of text.

kr,

Francis

I recommend you the use of dimensions, however you can also use Resposibility centers for that purpose.

Of course, you can also use the Cost accouning module (if you have Extended Pack with your license).

From my point of view, your best option is the use of dimensions: msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh167374%28v=nav.80%29.aspx

Good luck!!

Sounds like Cost Accounting to me. It adds a burden on the accountants, though... they have to enter Cost Center Code (and probably Project Center Code, too) for every posting. NAV has a Cost Accounting module (since 2013 in the standard set of objects), this should be sufficient for what you require. Cost Accounting also has allocations for distributing utility/maintenance/building costs to the departments. You need an experienced expert to set this up, though.
