Departments

Microsoft Dynamics NAV supports all typical enterprise resource planning (ERP) activities, such as bookkeeping, sales, and inventory management. Most ERP functionality in Microsoft Dynamics NAV relates to the business tasks that users perform in different company departments, such as the Finance, Sales, and Warehouse departments.

The Help table of contents is also organized by department. Content is presented in a hierarchy of processes that are performed by one or more roles within that department. You can access the same business functionality Help by role where content is presented according to the typical responsibilities of that role.

Area-Specific Setup

Help about each department starts with how to set up the specific application area. To set up features across Microsoft Dynamics NAV, see Setup and Administration and Work with Application-Wide Features.
