The panel's verdict
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is an ERP from Microsoft Corporation, judged from one captured page — the German pricing page. Strongest: pricing transparency at 5 to 6 and rollout and operations at a flat 4, on public per-user prices for three editions (Essentials 69,30 €, Premium 95,30 €, Team Members 6,90 € per user per month, annual billing, VAT excluded), a 30-day free trial, phone and chat support Monday to Friday 8 to 17:00. Orders and inventory (3 to 4) and production and projects (3 to 4) credit the goods chain and served business models being named; the spread counts naming against unproven depth. Weakest: finance and compliance at a flat 2 — financial management appears as a name, and we found no public information on ledgers, VAT per country, GoBD or an accountant export — and sovereignty at a flat 1: the ownership chain runs to Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, USA, and hosting location, subprocessors and a data processing agreement are unknown on the captured pages. Integration and portability spans 0 to 2; the bench flagged no material disagreements.
Speaks for it
- Public per-user monthly prices for three editions — Essentials 69,30 €, Premium 95,30 €, Team Members 6,90 € — each with annual billing and VAT excluded.
- The goods chain is named end to end: purchasing and payables, inventory, warehouse management, order fulfilment and supply chain planning are listed as included capabilities.
- Support is concrete — phone and chat, Monday to Friday 8 to 17:00 — alongside a 30-day free trial.
- The Team Members licence at 6,90 € is priced for restricted read access, workflow approvals and selected updates.
- Premium's additions over Essentials — service management and manufacturing — are named publicly, so the served business models carry prices.
Held against it
- Financial management appears only as a named capability; we found no public information on ledgers, VAT per country, GoBD, e-invoice formats or an export to the accountant.
- Integration and portability scored 0 to 2, with no public information on an API, standard connectors, data import or a documented full export.
- Sovereignty scored 1: the ownership chain runs to Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, USA, and we found no public information on hosting location, subprocessors or a data processing agreement.
- Implementation, consulting and additional prices come only through a partner, and no Copilot credit rate is published for the sales order and vendor agents.
- The prices themselves carry the vendor's caution that they are informational only and may vary by currency, country and region.
Best for
- You need a broad ERP whose licence cost you can read from public per-user prices before talking to a partner.
- Your team runs the goods chain end to end and expects to buy and implement through a partner.
- You already hold an active Azure subscription and would use usage-based Copilot billing.
- You want service management or manufacturing in the same suite and can price them at the Premium tier.
Avoid if
- You must satisfy a tax adviser or auditor before buying — we found no public information on ledgers, VAT per country, GoBD or an accountant export.
- Your procurement requires European ownership or documented data residency — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- You need a documented API, standard connectors or a guaranteed full export before signing.
- You need a computable first-year total — implementation, consulting and additional prices come only through a partner.

Finance, tax & compliance
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether the ERP keeps books a tax adviser and an auditor accept: general and subledgers, VAT per country, GoBD-compliant posting and archiving, e-invoices sent and received (XRechnung, ZUGFeRD), payments and dunning, and a DATEV export or a documented hand-over to the accountant.
0 — No accounting at all; invoices leave as PDFs and the books are kept somewhere else by hand.
3 — Invoices and credit notes are created in the system, but there is no ledger, no stated GoBD compliance and no export the accountant can import.
5 — Invoices, open items and payments in the system with a DATEV or accounting export, VAT rates per item, dunning, and e-invoices in XRechnung or ZUGFeRD format sent to customers.
8 — Full financial accounting or a live-synchronised one: general, receivables and payables ledgers, incoming e-invoices read and matched to purchase orders, bank feeds with payment matching, OSS and reverse-charge VAT, GoBD compliance stated with a procedure documentation, and several companies in one tenant.
10 — The money side closes inside the system: an auditor's GoBD or IDW PS 880 attestation published, consolidation and intercompany postings across entities, fixed assets and cost accounting, every posting traceable to the order, goods movement and user behind it, and period close with locked periods documented.
The Managing Director
Financial management is named as an included Essentials capability, but nothing beneath that headline is documented: no ledgers, no VAT per country, no XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, no GoBD statement and no export to my accountant. I found no public information on any of these from the captured page, and these are exactly the points my tax adviser will ask about. 1
The Head of Finance
The page names financial management, purchasing and payables, and multiple companies as capabilities, so books are evidently kept in the product, but it documents no ledgers, no VAT treatment per country, no GoBD with a procedure documentation, no XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, and no DATEV export or hand-over to the accountant. Nothing here tells me a tax adviser or auditor would accept the books. 1
The Operations Lead
Financial management is named among the included capabilities and the trial blurb promises finance, sales, service and processes in one solution, but we found no public information on ledgers, VAT per country, GoBD compliance, e-invoice formats or an export to my accountant on the captured pricing page. That is a module name, not books I can hand to an auditor. 1
The Online Retailer
The captured pricing page names "Finanzmanagement" and "Einkauf und Verbindlichkeiten" among the included capabilities, and that is the entire money-side evidence. I found no public information there about ledgers, VAT per country or OSS, GoBD, XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, payments, dunning or a DATEV export, so I cannot tell whether my tax adviser would accept books kept in this system. 1
The IT Integrator
The captured pricing page names financial management among the Essentials capabilities and lists purchasing and payables, but we found no public information on ledgers, VAT handling per country, GoBD, e-invoices or an export the accountant can import. For handing clean books to a tax adviser and an auditor, that is a module name, not evidence. 1
The Skeptic
The entire captured accounting material is the word "Finanzmanagement" on a feature list and the promise of "umfassender Geschäftsverwaltung"; we found no public information on ledgers, VAT per country, GoBD, XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, dunning, or a DATEV export. A tax adviser cannot work from a noun. 1
Purchasing, inventory & order processing
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
The goods chain from supplier to customer: quotes, orders and order confirmations, purchasing and goods receipt, stock per warehouse and bin, batch and serial numbers, picking and shipping, returns — and whether each step posts through to the next document and to the ledger instead of being retyped.
0 — No order or stock handling; the product is a contact list or an invoicing tool.
3 — Items with a stock count and an order list, but purchasing, goods receipt and delivery are not connected and stock is corrected by hand.
5 — Quote, order, delivery note and invoice as one document chain, purchase orders with goods receipt booking stock, and stock levels with reorder points per item.
8 — Several warehouses and storage bins, batch and serial number tracking, mobile picking and scanning, carrier and shop or marketplace connections, returns with restocking and credit note, drop shipping, and stock valuation that flows into the books.
10 — The goods chain runs and is evidenced in the system: demand-driven purchasing proposals, EDI with suppliers and customers, fulfilment and multi-channel stock allocation, best-before and recall traceability per batch from supplier to customer, and every movement attributed and dated.
The Managing Director
The Essentials plan names purchasing and payables, inventory, order fulfilment and delivery, warehouse management and supply chain planning, so every link of my wholesale chain is addressed by name. What is not documented is whether quote, order, delivery note and invoice run as one posting chain; I found no public information on goods receipt, batch and serial numbers, returns or stock valuation from this page. 1
The Head of Finance
Purchasing and payables, inventory, warehouse management, order fulfilment and supply-chain planning are all named capabilities, which goes beyond a stock count and an order list. The page shows no document chain from order to delivery note to invoice, no goods-receipt booking into stock, and no batch, serial or returns handling — whether each step posts through instead of being retyped is undocumented. 1
The Operations Lead
Purchasing and payables, inventory, warehouse management, order fulfilment and supply chain planning are all listed as capabilities, so the goods chain is named end to end; we found no public information on goods receipt booking, bins, batches, serial numbers, mobile picking or reorder logic on the captured page. I cannot tell from this whether stock lands in the right bin by scanner or is corrected by hand. 1
The Online Retailer
Order fulfilment and delivery, purchasing and payables, inventory, warehouse management and supply chain planning are all listed as included, which covers my goods chain at module level. The page describes no document chains, returns, batch or serial tracking, and I found no public information on connectors for Shopware, Amazon or eBay — the multichannel stock synchronisation I was burned on twice is exactly what stays unproven. 1
The IT Integrator
Order fulfilment and delivery, purchasing and payables, inventory, warehouse management and supply-chain planning are all named as product capabilities, so the goods chain exists end to end at module level. The page gives no detail on document chains, goods receipt bookings or batch and serial tracking, so I cannot place it higher. 1
The Skeptic
Purchasing and payables, inventory, warehouse management, supply-chain planning and order fulfilment are named as included capabilities — the whole goods chain appears as priced nouns. We found no public information on document chains, goods-receipt bookings, reorder points or batch and serial tracking, so this rests on breadth of naming, not on any documented flow. 1
Manufacturing, services & projects
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
The depth for the buyer's own business model: bills of materials, work orders and capacity planning for manufacturers; projects, time, resources and milestone billing for service firms; contracts, subscriptions and field service. A product is judged on the models it says it serves.
0 — Nothing beyond trading goods; no bills of materials, projects or service billing.
3 — A simple kit or set of items, or a project tag on invoices, but no production orders, no time recording and no planning.
5 — For at least one model a working core: bills of materials with production orders consuming stock, or projects with time recording and billing from logged hours, with the supported models named on the vendor's pages.
8 — Multi-level bills of materials with routings, work centres and capacity planning, or projects with budgets, resource planning, milestone and recurring billing, and service or maintenance contracts — with costs flowing to cost accounting.
10 — Industry depth documented for the models served: MRP runs with material and capacity planning, shop-floor data capture and quality checks, variant configuration, or full professional-services automation with utilisation, contracts and revenue recognition — each described with its limits in public documentation.
The Managing Director
Project management sits in Essentials, while service management and manufacturing arrive only with Premium at 95,30 € per user and month. The served models are named, but I found no public information on bills of materials, production orders, capacity planning or time recording with billing from logged hours, so I cannot judge the depth I would be buying. 1
The Head of Finance
Project management and service order management are named, with manufacturing and service management reserved for the Premium plan, so the models served are identified. No bills of materials, production orders, time recording or hour-based billing appear anywhere in the capture, so the working core for any single model is not documented. 1
The Operations Lead
The served models are stated — Premium adds advanced functions for service management and manufacturing, and project management and service order management are listed — but we found no public information on bills of materials, work orders, routings, capacity planning or time recording. For my assembly line that is a label on a box, not a production plan for next week. 1
The Online Retailer
Project management and service order management appear in the base feature list, and manufacturing and service management are explicitly priced as Premium additions, so the business models served are named publicly. No bills of materials, production orders, capacity planning or time-and-billing core are described; as a pure retailer I would only care if I started kitting. 1
The IT Integrator
The vendor names the models it serves — manufacturing and service management as Premium additions, project management in the base capabilities — which matters since my shop builds things. We found no public information on bills of materials, production orders or time recording and billing from logged hours, so the depth stays unproven. 1
The Skeptic
Project management and service-order management sit in Essentials and manufacturing plus service management are gated behind Premium, so the served models are named and priced. We found no public information on bills of materials, production orders, routings, time recording or billing mechanics behind those words. 1

How this is scored
How the ERP connects and how the data gets in and out: a public API reference, webhooks, standard connectors for shops, marketplaces, banks, payroll, DATEV and BI, data import from the previous system, and a documented full export when the company leaves.
0 — No API, no import and no export beyond printing.
3 — CSV import and export of some lists, a few named integrations, but no public API documentation and no full export.
5 — A documented REST or OData API, CSV or Excel import for master data and open items, and standard connectors to common shops, banks and DATEV.
8 — A public, versioned API reference covering all main objects with webhooks, a connector marketplace, a documented migration path from named predecessor systems, and a full data export of master data, documents and postings available to the customer.
10 — Open by design and evidenced: complete API coverage with sandbox tenants and rate limits stated, open data formats or open-source code, a contractual exit with export format and timeline, and self-hosting or on-premise as a documented alternative to the vendor's cloud.
The Managing Director not rated — no public information
I found no public information on a public API, webhooks, connectors to shops, marketplaces, banks or DATEV, data import from my previous system, or a documented full export on cancellation — the captured pricing page covers plans, licences and support contacts only. 1
The Head of Finance not rated — no public information
I found no public information on a public API, standard connectors, data import or a full data export; the single captured page is the pricing page, and it carries nothing on how data gets in or out of the system. 1
The Operations Lead not rated — no public information
We found no public information on a public API, standard connectors, data import or a full export; the captured material is the German pricing page alone, which lists customisation and extensibility but no connection or portability detail. I read the pricing page and nothing on it bears on this. 1
The Online Retailer
The only connection-related facts are "Anpassung und Erweiterbarkeit" in the feature list and that usage-based payment requires an active Azure subscription. I found no public information on a documented API, webhooks, standard connectors to shops, marketplaces, banks or DATEV, or on data import and a full export if we ever left. 1
The IT Integrator
Customization and extensibility and multiple environments are named as features, and pay-as-you-go ties the environment to an active Azure subscription, but that is all the captured page offers. We found no public information on a public API reference, webhooks, connectors to shops, banks, payroll or DATEV, or a documented full export when we leave — the exact things I need before wiring this to the shop floor and the bank. 1
The Skeptic
A feature bullet promising "Anpassung und Erweiterbarkeit" and the requirement to link the environment to an active Azure subscription for pay-as-you-go are everything on connecting or moving data. We found no public information on a public API reference, standard connectors, data import or a documented export when a company leaves. 1
Rollout, roles & operations
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What it takes to go live and run the system: implementation path (self-service, vendor, partner network), onboarding and training, roles and permissions, audit log, updates and customisation that survive them, support channels and service levels, and availability.
0 — No information on implementation, roles, support or availability.
3 — A contact form and a help page, but no stated implementation path, no role model and no support terms.
5 — A described onboarding or implementation offer, user roles with permissions, a help centre with current documentation, and support channels with hours.
8 — Implementation methods with typical duration stated, a certified partner network or vendor services listed, fine-grained permissions with a change log, customisation without code that survives updates, and published service levels for support and availability.
10 — Operations are evidenced: a status page with uptime history, release notes and an update policy, a field-level audit trail, sandbox or test tenants, and support, training and implementation terms public enough to plan a go-live without a sales call.
The Managing Director
Buying and implementing run through partners — the page directs me to a partner for purchase, assessment and consulting services — and there is a 30-day free trial, phone and chat support Monday to Friday 8:00 to 17:00, and a restricted Team Members licence for read access and workflow approvals. That is a real route to go live, but I found no public information on implementation duration, training, service levels, availability or an audit trail, which I would need before committing sixty people to a migration. 1
The Head of Finance
Support channels with stated hours (chat and phone, Mon–Fri 8 to 17:00), a partner route for purchase, assessment and consulting, and a defined Team Members role with limited read access and workflow approval are published. Implementation duration, fine-grained permissions with a change log, service levels and availability are not stated on the page. 1
The Operations Lead
Support is public by phone and chat Monday to Friday 8 to 17:00, purchase and advisory services run through partners, and the licence tiers define what a limited Team Member may do. We found no public information on implementation duration, onboarding packages, fine-grained permissions, an audit log or availability commitments on the captured page. 1
The Online Retailer
Support is concrete — telephone and chat, Monday to Friday 8 to 17:00 — plus a 30-day free trial, and the Team Members licence at 6,90 € describes a restricted role with read access and workflow approvals. Purchase and implementation run through partners ("Wenden Sie sich für den Kauf an einen Partner oder, um eine Einschätzung, Beratungsdienste oder zusätzliche Preise zu erhalten"), and I found no public information on implementation timelines, training, an audit log or availability commitments. 1
The IT Integrator
Support is concrete — chat and phone at (0)800 8088014, Monday to Friday 8 to 17:00 — and the Team Members licence spells out what limited users may read, approve and update, with purchase and consulting routed through partners. We found no public information on implementation durations, a change log, service levels or availability. 1
The Skeptic
Published support hours (Mon–Fri 8–17:00) with chat and a toll-free phone, a 30-day trial, purchase routed through partners for assessment and advisory services, and a priced Team Members tier with read access, workflow approval and limited writes. We found no public information on implementation duration, a documentation centre, service levels, availability or an audit log. 1
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where the ERP data — customers, suppliers, prices, postings, employees — is hosted, and who the subprocessors are (cloud infrastructure, email, support tooling, AI features). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; an ERP holds a company's entire commercial record, so the ownership chain counts, not only the server location.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy exists, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the processors behind the service are not named.
5 — EU hosting stated and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain (US hyperscaler, AI features, support or email tooling) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with locations, a data processing agreement offered, and an on-premise or EU-only hosting option stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, data export and deletion documented, and a certification such as ISO 27001 or BSI C5 published rather than implied.
The Managing Director
The vendor is Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, USA, publicly listed, with the German storefront naming the US corporation, and pay-as-you-go runs over an Azure subscription. Beyond that I found no public information on hosting location, subprocessors or a data processing agreement — for a system holding my entire commercial record, that is thin comfort. 1
The Head of Finance
The vendor information names Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, USA, publicly listed, with the US corporation named in the German imprint as the contracting party, and setting up usage-based billing requires an active Azure subscription. Hosting location, subprocessors and a data processing agreement are stated nowhere in the captured material, so the chain is largely US-owned and otherwise unevidenced. 1
The Operations Lead
The captured material identifies the vendor as Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, USA, publicly listed on NASDAQ, and the German imprint names the US corporation; we found no public information on where the ERP data is hosted or which subprocessors sit behind the service. For a system holding my prices, postings and supplier terms, an American ownership chain with hosting unknown is as low as this material allows. 1
The Online Retailer
The provenance information shows the ownership chain runs to Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, USA — publicly listed on NASDAQ — with the German imprint naming the US corporation. Hosting location, subprocessors and any data processing agreement are unknown on the captured pages; for a system holding my customers, prices and postings, a non-European parent company is the fact that decides this for me. 1
The IT Integrator
The ownership chain is the one proven dimension, and it is American: Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, USA, publicly listed, with the German imprint naming the US corporation and sales running through partners. We found no public information on where the ERP data is hosted, on the subprocessors behind cloud, email and the AI features, or on a data processing agreement. 1
The Skeptic
The vendor is Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, USA, publicly listed, and the German imprint names the US corporation — the ownership chain is answered and it is not European. We found no public information on hosting location, subprocessors or a data processing agreement; the only infrastructure signal is that pay-as-you-go billing ties the environment to an Azure subscription. 1
Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a company can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per user, module, company or transaction volume, which modules (accounting, warehouse, production, POS) cost extra, implementation and onboarding fees, minimum term, and what happens to the data on cancellation.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call or a partner proposal.
3 — A starting price or "from" figure exists, but what is included and how it scales with users, modules or companies is unclear.
5 — Prices per edition or module are public with the main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (implementation, extra companies, warehouse or production module, API use) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every edition and module priced publicly with its scaling rule (per user, company or volume), onboarding and implementation packages priced, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given company size and module set, with every add-on, implementation, support and hosting cost and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Managing Director
The per-user monthly prices are public and quotable — Essentials 69,30 €, Premium 95,30 €, Team Members 6,90 €, annual billing, VAT excluded — with a 30-day trial and the rule that the sales order and vendor agents require Copilot credits sold separately. But implementation and consulting come only as "additional prices" via a partner, the pay-as-you-go credit rate is not stated, and the page itself warns prices are informational and may vary by currency, country and region — so my first-year cost stays a partner conversation rather than a computation. 1
The Head of Finance
Per-user monthly prices with annual billing are published for all three tiers — Essentials 69,30 €, Premium 95,30 €, Team Members 6,90 €, each stated as excluding VAT — with Premium's additions over Essentials named and a 30-day trial offered. Implementation and consulting prices are only available via a partner, Copilot credits for the sales-order and vendor agents are sold separately with no published rate, prices are declared informational and may vary, and cancellation and data-return terms are absent, so the real annual cost is not computable from the page alone. 1
The Operations Lead
User prices are public — 69,30 € Benutzer/Monat with annual billing for Essentials, 95,30 € for Premium and 6,90 € for Team Members, each plus VAT, with a 30-day free trial and Premium's added scope named. But implementation and advisory pricing is routed to partners, Copilot credits for the sales order agent and the vendor agent are sold separately with no unit price shown, and the page itself states prices are informational only and may vary by currency, country and region — so a real annual cost is not computable from the page alone. 1
The Online Retailer
Three editions are priced publicly per user and month — Essentials 69,30 €, Premium 95,30 €, Team Members 6,90 €, each with jährlicher Abrechnung and "Preise zzgl. MwSt." — a flat per-user model that would not jump with every thousand orders. But the page itself warns the prices "dienen nur zu Informationszwecken", the sales order and vendor agents require Copilot credits sold separately (prepaid commit units or monthly usage-based billing tied to an Azure subscription, with no credit price shown), and implementation and additional prices only come through a partner, so I cannot compute my real annual cost from the public pages alone. 1
The IT Integrator
All three editions carry public per-user prices — Essentials at 69,30 €, Premium at 95,30 €, Team Members at 6,90 € per user per month with annual billing, prices excluding VAT — plus a 30-day free trial and Copilot credits either prepaid or billed monthly for actual usage. Implementation, consulting and additional prices are referred to a partner, the figures carry a disclaimer that they may vary by currency, country and region, and we found no public information on minimum terms or data return on cancellation. 1
The Skeptic
Three editions are priced per user per month with annual billing — Essentials 69,30 €, Premium 95,30 €, Team Members 6,90 € — with VAT treatment stated ("Preise zzgl. MwSt."), per-edition inclusions listed and a 30-day trial. But implementation, advisory and "zusätzliche Preise" are routed to a partner, no Copilot credit rate is stated while two agents "Erfordert Copilot-Guthaben (separat verkauft)", and the vendor itself cautions the listed prices are informational and may vary — the licence is computable, the running of the project is not. 1

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 26 Oct 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
What we left out
A claim that does not survive our checks costs us the claim, not the page. This is what was taken off this one.
- We found no public information on compliance on the pages we read (microsoft.com/de-de/dynamics-365/products/business-central/pricing). If the vendor publishes it somewhere else, send us the page. Know more? Tell us
