Does navision support SCM?

shillu

Hi All,

Can anybody tell me how does navision supports SCM(supply chain managment)? Is there any sepearate module in Navision for this?

and..? What "Trade and logistics" module is being called in Navision?

Thanks,

ssingla

SCM is a concept rather than a module. The modules of Purchase, Sales, Warehouse, Financial Management are part of SCM.

Can you specify the excat requirement.

Thanks for the quick reply.

What I would like to know is, Does navision support SCM?
As you said if it a concept and Purchase, Sales, WH etc are part of navision..it means navision supports SCM. right?
But there is a sepearte a moudule for SCM in other ERP technologies having P&P, Sales,Warhouse module also. what is need of having seperate module for SCM in other ERP products?

Can you please let me know what exactly the SCM is?
and please answer my seconde question the last query which i posted abt Trade and logistics.
As far as my understanding..trade and logistics are nothing but handling warehouse activites.

Please correct me if i am wrong.

It may be that different ERPs may have different modules, but all ERPs cater to the same thing about sourcing, movement and removal of inventory, that is basically purhase, warehousing, manufacturing and sale.

In NAV, this is done using purchases, sales, warehousing and manufacturing modules.

Other ERPs also do the same resulting processes, just the source operations in the software differs.

I suggest you accompany a functional guy with you, as it is the correct approach.

Well I am not sure if I should reply or not, since I am pretty sure you don't want to hear my opinion on this. Basically I would say that the project is doomed to fail now, so easier might be just to not even start. Take a look at this earlier blog of mine:

If it takes one person 10 days to dig a ditch, how long does it take 10 people to dig the same ditch? - David Singleton's Navision Blog

I wrote this after visiting a client in Bangalore, that had been sold NAV without the advice of an experienced business consultant. Instead they had simply been given a so called "team" of developers, with the instructions to "do what the client needs".

Having visited a number o Indian NAV implementations, I am quite surprised at the implementation and sales methods used. There seems to be a belief that given enough developers, any business issue can be solved, and that is just not the case.

I would speak to your bosses boss, and have them review the sales process used in your company. If that does not gt resolved, I would consider finding a new company to work for.
