Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Training in Kenya
Classroom cohorts in Mombasa, Naivasha, Nairobi, Kisumu, Machakos · live online · in-house anywhere in Kenya
Growing businesses that move off spreadsheets or entry-level accounting packages need an ERP that their finance and operations teams can actually run day to day. You start by navigating the Business Central interface, role centres, search and personalisation. Configuration sessions set up company information, number series, posting groups, dimensions and master data for customers, vendors and items. You then build the chart of accounts and general ledger setup, posting journals and reviewing financial reports.
Purchasing sessions cover vendor setup, purchase quotes and orders, receipts, invoices and payment runs, while sales sessions follow quotes, orders, shipments, invoicing and customer receivables. Bank and cash management days handle payment journals, bank reconciliation and cash flow visibility. Later sessions extend to inventory, fixed assets, period-end closing and reporting. Each topic is practised in a demonstration company. Accountants, finance officers, ERP users, implementation consultants and system administrators in small and medium organisations will find it hands-on and relevant. Afterwards you can run core finance, purchasing and sales processes in Business Central confidently.
About this course
