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.
