I have tried so many "small" companies that offer banner ads, CPC ads, pop unders, etc and have been ripped off repeatedly.

Microsoft Great Plains: Manufacturing Or Bill Of Materials - Overview For IT Specialist
 By Andrew Karasev
Microsoft Great Plains is main Microsoft Business Solutions product, targeted to mid-size companies.
Currently Microsoft is in progress of transforming several ERP products it has: Microsoft Great Plains, Solomon and Navision into several business suites - Microsoft Financial, Microsoft HR, Microsoft Manufacturing, Microsoft Logistics. These suites may be (in the future) put together and work for your company as integrated ERP solution with web interface (Microsoft Business Portal).
If you are midsize company with some manufacturing - you should make the research on light manufacturing packages available on software market. In the case of your commitment to Great Plains (if you use it as your accounting system) you should probably first answer this question - do we need full featured manufacturing or we should implement just bill of materials and have missing functionality be filled with custom Crystal Reports and light Dexterity customization? And one more thing to consider - Microsoft Manufacturing will be more likely build on Navision manufacturing base. If you have process manufacturing - you should not implement GP manufacturing - it is discreet manufacturing.
If you answer yes on most of these questions, you do need manufacturing
· Do you need Manufacturing Resource Planning?
· Are Cost Centers required?
· Do you base your production on the specific Sales Order?
· Do you track working shifts and allocate the cost?
