Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a complete enterprise resource planning (ERP) software solution for mid-sized organizations that is fast to implement, easy to configure, and simple to use. Right from the start, simplicity has guided, and continues to guide, innovations in product design, development, implementation, and usability.
With the release of NAV 2017 will come a plethora of new and exciting features. Some of them are:
In Office 365 experience
Stay connected with all the parts of your business. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is directly linked to Office 365, which means you can easily review, analyze, and share date with relevant colleagues in your organization. You can navigate effortlessly between your Microsoft Dynamics NAV data and your Office tools - for example, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Bookings, or Microsoft Excel.
Embedded Power BI
Continuing the powerful integration, you can now use embedded Power BI to easily create insightful charts and reports, and then make them available within your Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 role center.
Setup and configuration
Get up and running faster. Save time and avoid unnecessary manual tasks with the assisted setup wizard that helps you import data, set up integration with Office 365, and enjoy a simplified setup experience, with predefined setup data and limited customer interaction.
User experience
Continuing the significant improvements to simplicity, productivity, and performance, Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 enhances your experience even further.
Finance
Work with ready-to-use financial statements and gain accessible insights into the financial performance of your business. The new default Account Schedules means that no set up is required, making it quick and intuitive to produce the financial reports that you need, and point-in-time reporting means you can view the financial state of your business for any given time. Reporting is also made easier with the new Account Categories that provide structure to your chart of accounts.
Jobs
Working with Jobs is now more straightforward, helping you manage projects more easily and get more visibility into the details, set up jobs and enter time sheets using the new Jobs Setup wizard and quickly access common tasks, new charts, and a new My Jobs list using the updated Project Manager role center.

You can create custom item attributes and assign an item attribute value, according to your business needs, helping you manage items or create sales documents.
E-everything
Make it easier for your customers to pay your invoices online by including hyperlinks to payment services, such as PayPal. Even provide PayPal Standards payment links in invoices, supporting multiple ways of accepting payments, including credit cards and PayPal accounts.
