Here is a list of Dynamics GP acronyms
Out of Box limitations list:
NAV vs GP comparision
NAV
ISVs get installed within same uniform code base C/AL. One single window used for entire system. Also going forward Microsoft code base. Dynamics 365 is based 3 tier system this is the future cloud system.
Reporting with JetReports? SSRS?
Highly customizable
Upgrades should be simpler once ISV codes are merged Unlimited user defined fields can be created.
Use of Windows AD authentication
Search anywhere
SQL table structures using friendly naming
Less duplication of SQL table fields
User setup by customer templates
One click processing no batches
GP
Most ISVs are external to GP and use eConnect SDK or API. GP Code base is dexterity.
Reporting using SSRS
Upgrades might be time consuming to get all mappings correct.
Very few user defined fields. Only way to really add additional fields is by using an ISV piece like Extender which will give you unlimited options. SalesPad has unlimited user fields but it an additional ISV product.
SQL authentication is required unless option of using web access by way of windows AD authentication. Client logins by odbc connector (outdated)
SQL table structures using alpha numeric naming
Search is limited would need add on like SmartFill from Rockton
User setup by copy function only
More table locking than NAV
Multiple batches for processing data
ISV comparison
Lanham eShip or Starship
Lanham EDI or DI Central
NAV order entry or SalesPad
More duplication of SQL table fields
