Analytics and Reporting With Microsoft Dynamics NAV

What is Analytics? What is Reporting?

Reporting is the process of organizing data into informational summaries in order to find out how different areas of a business tend to perform. Analysis is the process of exploring data and reports in a certain order so as to extract meaningful insights which can eventually be used to understand a business better and improve performance. Reporting translates raw facts and numbers into concrete data. Analysis transforms this data further into insights. Reporting helps monitor an online business and helps raise questions about the business from its end users. Analysis helps answer questions by interpreting that data at a deeper level and delivering appropriate recommendations. Reporting helps know ‘What Is Happening’ whereas Analysis focuses on ‘Why Did It Happen?’ and ‘What One Can Do About It’. Reporting focuses on activities such as building, configuring, consolidating, organizing, formatting and summarizing.

With its wide offerings in terms of functionalities, MS Dynamics CRM has had companies standing up and applauding. And now, it has given organizations more to revel in. After getting a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Customization done by a Microsoft Dynamics Partner, companies will get to use approval steps which ensure processes remain accurate, compliant and effective.

It is important for companies to understand in detail how approvals work in the most widely used CRM for Small Businesses, why organizations should consider getting a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Customization done as far as approvals are concerned and how to use them to full benefit on the solution.

Part 1: What are approvals in MS Dynamics CRM?

There is a difference between approvals and workflows. Approvals are a single step in a business process. On the other hand, workflows cover an entire process. Workflows, for something such as sales process automation would include sales persons feeding new leads, notifying supervisors after creating new revenue opportunities, generating reminders for the salesperson in charge and sending out automatic notifications to supervisors when the account status changes.

In MS Dynamics CRM, approvals generally fit into existing workflows. Approval steps can be created to encourage sales people to approve newer revenue opportunities. The amounts are usually capped, and in case employees try entering bigger amounts, then there is a need to take a supervisor’s approval.

3. Administrative mistakes come down at once. All the burden carried by employees comes down at once as the need to check data manually gets reduced greatly. Besides, there is more consistency and lesser risk of making mistakes.

Part 3: In what way should these approvals be used?

Approvals and related functionalities help streamline business processes where:

1. The person in charge of a task may have to hand it over to his supervisor
2. The risk factor is great, in the sense that the consequences are horrible if a process step is executed incorrectly
3. The tasks are complicated and call for a review before completion
