Navision - Does anyone use it

We have a client company who has recently been acquired by a foreign conglomerate who use Navision for their financial reporting package. We find it tedious and does not appear to be able to provide the reports we require to comply with UK accounting standards. Furthermore since control is held somewhere in Scandinavia the printer controls keep losing our printers and we cannot even print out what we are posting in. To make matters worse the figures are interfered as they proceed up the Corporate chain.

We are maintaining the UK books in Sage until a satisfactory solution can be arrived at.

We have Googled and still cannot find a simple user's guide to this programme can anyone help

Keep running Sage
Reporting in Navision is difficult even if you do manage to find a manual. Keep running Sage.

Navision
Thank you guys, so not a lot further forward! I think we will have to retain Sage just to keep the books straight and able to be translated by the Revenue & Customs if they spring a visit!

Re Navision
Hi Louise

I have used Navision for about 6 years. I transfered a companies records to Navision from sage line100 and have to say in my opinion Navision is the better product overall. I am currently working for a client who uses sage MMS and I think Navision would be a better application to use. However as with most things it does depend on the intended use as certain aspects of the system are not very user friendly.

In the six years that I used Navision I saw no user manuals at all. I was supported by a development company who provided training and support.

I would be happy to discuss my experiance of the product if you like.
