Axapta or now Microsoft Dynamics AX (with the new name for Microsoft Project
Green Microsoft Dynamics) is in the initial phase of requirements mapping for
first implementation in Brazil. It is localized to support Brazilian taxation,
federal & state reporting and translated to Portuguese. In this small
publication we would like to focus on Axapta strong points and how they should
fit to Brazilian business requirements
Supply Chain Management. Axapta supports intra-company orders to fulfill
external customer sales order, which allows you to design and implement flexible
internal cost and profit allocation within your business group or enterprise.
Also Axapta supports the seamless link between Service module (repair,
preventive maintenance, damage estimation, etc) and on-demand manufacturing
order (manufacturing module). Plus nice Axapta flexibility feature is Axapta
business logics exposure via web services, which in turn allows repair crew
technician to enter replacement parts list into mobile devise and transmit the
order to Axapta server via cellular media. This also opens door for barcoding
and warehouse management automation
Manufacturing. Historically manufacturing ERP is divided into two types:
Discrete and Process manufacturing. Discrete manufacturing, where you expect
fixed number of manufactured items from fixed number of components, labor and
machine time is traditionally better automated than process manufacturing, where
you do not expect exact outcome: food processing, beverages, mining, oil
refinery, etc. You should expect excellent discrete manufacturing from Axapta as
well as very good process manufacturing via some third party add-ons and custom
improvements. Adding into consideration integration with Supply Chain Management
gives you very flexible and cost efficient manufacturing automation. On the top
of this Axapta has flexible and intuitive Product Configurator module to
enable custom manufacturing, based on customer unique order requirements
Service Management. Imagine machinery servicing franchise business, when you
have to maintain and support machinery fleet across Brazil replacing parts on
unique demand, ordering parts from your franchisor warehouses and production
plants worldwide
CRM . Axapta has its own CRM module, integrated with Sales Order Processing,
plus Microsoft Dynamics CRM is on the way to be integrated with Axapta in
2006/2007 enabling you worldwide CRM department functionality
USA situation. Currently 2006 Microsoft Dynamics/Microsoft Business
Solutions has its Fargo, ND facility (famous Great Plains Software Dynamics and
later on Microsoft Great Plains) to localize Axapta financials and humane
resources module to US and Canadian market
Europe. German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian markets have Axapta
localized. Axapta also supports Unicode Chinese & Japanese characters support
Multinational Company. International Manager is typically speaking English,
probably some Spanish or German. The priority for international manager is
reporting clarity and transaction level audit (when required). Axapta supports
multi-language and seamless transaction audit. We would like to stress that for
multinational corporation preferably ERP is the one, coming from world-wide ERP
vendors, such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft to address Brazilian subsidiary control
questions
Axapta Business Portal. Having three tiers architecture, Axapta allows you as
a developer to enable business logic object exposure via web service in a simple
MS Visual Studio.Net procedure. This in turn gives Axapta additional advantage
and flexibility on the Business Portal web exposure level in comparison to such
legacy products as Microsoft Dynamics GP Great Plains or Microsoft Dynamics
NAV Navision.
