Please accept my apologies for the bluntness, but there is no other way to put it. I have previously worked for eight years with systems like 1C and Horizon, which are intuitive. Each had its own very minor drawbacks that programmers could easily fix, but overall, they were excellent programs where one could even integrate manufacturing, customer relations, and resource management. I changed jobs, and at my new workplace, a Business Central (BC) integration has just taken place; they were using Navision before. After six months of working with it, I can freely state that BC was not created by people who understand what they are doing or why they are doing it.
​Let's start with document or goods receipt: once posted, it is impossible to correct if an error occurred during the process. Inventory management is fundamentally flawed and problematic from the ground up—even there, one can see that a person who understands anything about warehouse stock was not involved in the E-scan system. The basic idea of an inventory count is to reconcile balances. If an error occurs, you should be able to correct the existing entry rather than having to bounce stock movements through countless stages.
​The product ordering form is exactly the same. As soon as you edit an existing item card, all dimensions and data refresh or disappear. Consequently, the next person in the workflow cannot know about the data that should have been linked, because it simply vanishes. There are no log files, no history to verify data accuracy. There is absolutely nothing. The program is a bare, unfinished parody, lacking any flexibility, intuitiveness, or optimization. It is a great pity that no one with logical thinking was involved in the development of this program.
