    Hi Roakman,

    I agree with Alexander...

    and you can always contact Microsoft regarding the official information since these rules might changes...

    Dear Raokman,

    As I know there are no hard and fast guidelines to become a NAV partner. If you are not satisfied with your current partner you can easily change your partner. To get more details on this talk to the nearest Microsoft office. They will be able to guide you on this.

    There are several requirements of being Microsoft partner to be able to sell Dynamics licenses. Microsoft generally cares about how much money is partner bringing. Thus, if partner is selling enough licenses, all the other requirements are "soft" limits. Now there is not anymore NAV certified specialists required as Microsoft has skipped NAV certification.

    As for your question, I can certainly understand your frustration (however I work for a partner). But, selling the licenses itself is not limited by the knowledge of accounting. Financial module is not the only one in ERP systems, yet one of the important. Thus, there is no obligation for a partner to know accounting processes (or generally other processes) to sell licenses.

    Another thing is for the implementation and further support. Those partners that DO know accounting well and who have consultants with strong financial background just have a very good competitive advantage on the market. Usually those partners get more deals and have better customer reputation. Those who just make license sales but do not good implementations sooner or later would quit the market.
