Corporate ERP for Multinational Firm: Microsoft Dynamics and SAP Business One

The globalization trend is real, and many medium-sized manufacturing organizations joined in the international business
field. Although you can gain an advantage in the international labor market, and orders for the production of such countries as Brazil, you should be ready for more complex accounting. In this small publication we would like to help you in a multinational company corporate ERP selection and implementation phases, where we use actual research with our international consulting practice of ERP:

1. Corporate ERP of the U.S. headquarters. There are often few opportunities to change how your organization may have invested some or even many years ago in mid-size accounting applications, and everyone is happy this historic choice. In our example, we suppose that your corporate ERP Microsoft Dynamics GP is formerly known as Great Plains Dynamics and eEnterprise. Let us suppose that Great Plains is in production, and you have a firm number FRx financial reporting to meet the financial and managerial accounting versions Balance, P and L, Cash Flow Statement with the consolidated version

2. Production facilities abroad. Let’s assume that you have purchased the company in Brazil, the Sao Paulo area, were you now need to take into account localized applications. The first idea is probably as follows - we have already purchased Dynamics GP license, then why do not we just add a new company in our existing Great Plains and the installation of our Brazilian operations were there? Well, theoretically you can do it, but I have some questions for consideration. First, you must know, if you choose ERP translated into Brazilian Portuguese, and second - this is your ERP is compatible with the Brazilian legislation? If you do research, calling Microsoft Dynamics unit, you will receive replies number Instead Microsoft, probably suggest that you place the Dynamics AX, formerly known as Axapta, as well as the backup option - Dynamics NAV Navision. Great Plains Dynamics GP is not translated into Portuguese and is not located in Brazil

3. Dynamics AX Axapta Brazil. Yes, this is what you should consider first. AX especially strong in the manufacturing process, such as the Brazilian food industry. Axapta is not the tiny business, you should contact the local AX presentations to see if you can afford to Axapta

4. SAP Business One for Brazilian subsidiaries. This route should be taken if your a Brazilian plant of medium size or smaller. SAP B1 is in a Microsoft SQL Server and internationalized, including Brazil, translated into Portuguese and is compatible with the Brazilian tax code

5. Eastern Europe. Here you will have to choose between the dynamics of GP AX, GP Dynamics NAV and SAP Business One - they are all localized and available in most countries of Eastern Europe: Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Romania, Estonia, Poland, Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovakia.

6. Asia. If you have production in China, please AX or SB1, if you have a plant in the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, you can try Dynamics GP, AX, NAV or SAP Business One. Turkey, Armenia, Georgia - think of the AX
