Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hello, 

We're an OEM in the Aerospace and defense sector based in the US. We are also into reselling aerospace components within the US and an electronic component trading business with customers in India. We are currently using NAV 16 for the trading business and are planning on implementing an ERP for our manufacturing unit and getting all our businesses under one platform. There are 40 employees in the trading business and 80 in the manufacturing business. 

  1. What would be the best Microsoft product for the same? 
  2. What are the exact differences in the Manufacturing facilities provided by NAV (extended pack) as compared to that by D365 (enterprise edition)?
  3. What is the roadmap for D365 Business Edition?

    RE: Comparison between NAV 16/17, D365 Enterprise Edition and Business edition.

    It strongly depends on your requirements for production processes. D365 EE would allow you to have more extended functionality for production, as well as to keep different country versions in the same database. Your D365 EE can be used in a Hybrid mode, thus you could still customize it if needed. However it might be the case that NAV functionality would be also enough to cover your production needs. Normally it is a matter of taking a Fit-Gap analysis which will show your business process and how they are covered by both systems, what are the gaps and how to cover them. Then, the decision can be made.

    D365 BE is over as a product, there is D365 'Tenerife' instead (name will be changed and selected when the product will be released, that is - late spring of Y2018). 'Tenerife' has the same code base as NAV 2018, thus allow the same full manufacturing functionality. However, 'Tenerife' is not customizable in the same way as NAV, thus if you consider plenty of changes, better stick to on-prem NAV version so far.
