Manufacturing
Premium tier's Manufacturing module — production orders and capacity planning.
Microsoft's ERP and CRM suite, integrated with Office 365, Teams and the Power Platform for organisations already standardised on Microsoft.
Essentials covers financial management, sales, purchasing, inventory, projects and warehousing; Premium adds manufacturing and service order management — note all full users on a tenant must be on the same tier.
The breakdown above is for Business Central — the edition Gegohub implements for Kenyan SMEs and mid-market clients. Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations is Microsoft's separate, much larger enterprise ERP with its own licensing and implementation approach — it typically only makes sense for large, multinational-scale organisations.
