3 PROJECT SCOPE
3.1 Architecture and Functional Scope
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 is the chosen solution of Client for their ERP implementation requirement.
Dynamics NAV is multi-language, multi-currency business management solution that helps small and mid-
size companies worldwide manage their accounting and finances, supply chain, and operations.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV will be configured for Client on premise, for one company, in a single physical
server, single database platform where access from local area network and, if required, from different
remote locations will be made possible via internet connection. It has to be emphasized in this case that
productivity and efficiency of use of the system may be affected by the corresponding availability of the
internet band-with.
This scope of work identifies and documents as many of the customer’s high-level requirements as
possible, Functional and Non-Functional (i.e. technical) and any Integration and Interface requirements
that will be important factors of consideration for the customer’s evaluation and decision on their ERP
solution. The scope of this project is derived from the following:
A high level scoping activity conducted that is intended to examine the as-is processes selected
for potential implementation, to ensure that the chosen Microsoft Dynamics product can support
those processes. Highlighted from this activity is the discovery of below challenges with the
current NAV set-up:
• Tedious process in ordering and consolidation using excel templates.
• Cost of Goods Sold is being computed manually outside NAV.
• Use of other systems outside of NAV resulting to disparate solutions for Financials,
Supply Chain & Sales despite having an ERP system in place.
• Subsidiary Ledger is not equal to General Ledger.
• Limitation of the lower version of NAV system resulting to users experiencing table
locking when posting transactions simultaneously.
• Posting of transactions takes a very long time to process.
• Deficient system controls with the use of various uploading tools that are directly
updating the NAV tables and with all users having full access to all areas of the system
• No ranking or prioritization method being used for warehouse let down process
• Replenishment of regular orders are done manually
Reply to the Request for Proposal (RFP) document provided by Client. However, items identified
as requiring customization in the RFP will require further understanding and analysis and is not
included as part of the scope of work of this engagement nor in the commercial details of this
document.
Establishing the scope of work on the 2 above considerations, Microsoft Dynamics NAV will be
implemented base on a centralized back-office system configuration which means that Client will have a
centralized access to standard NAV 2018 modules with features and function configured to serve as basis
of information for:
Financial Management. Gain a comprehensive view of financial data across the organization with
end-to-end integration. Modules covered are:
o General Ledger and Budgets
o Accounts Receivables and Collection
o Accounts Payables and Disbursements
o Bank Management and Reconciliation
o Debit and Credit Memos
o Fixed Asset Management
o Allocations and Periodic Entries
o Periodic and Year-End Closing
o Financial Reporting – Statutory (BIR) and Management
Supply Chain. Provides inventory management for single or multi-site warehouses in addition to
handling order processing and demand planning. Goods on hand can be matched to customer
demand while reducing inventory and distribution costs. Warehouse processes can be integrated with
the rest of the customer business to better manage goods, space, and costs. Demand can be satisfied
with multiple planning options and tracking of utilization and materials costs. Manage requisition
through purchasing by deploying standardized processes, including approval workflows with enforced
approval limits. Modules covered are:
o Sales Order Management
Interface. Part of the scope of work and solution footprint also includes transfer of sales and
inventory transactions from the point of sale system to back office ERP Microsoft Dynamics NAV via
Navision Interface Manager (NIM). The NIM allows the automatic transfer of POS transactions from
Aloha to equivalent NAV financial entries including Sales and Payments (different Tenders), Sales
Returns and Exchange, Cost of Sales, Production Entries. The interface covers:
o Data movement:
Data from stores is assumed to be consolidated in the Aloha database at
headquarters.
From the Aloha database at HQ, data is sent to the Navision Interface Manager
(NIM) where set-up for the interface is configured and data mapping process
transpires.
From NIM, data is sent to NAV Staging table for validation then posted to the
Sales and Item Journals with the option for automatic posting to update
subsidiary and general ledgers immediately.
o Interchange of Information:
Between Aloha and MS Dynamics NAV
Automatic and unattended interchange
Manual interchange available
Aloha and MS Dynamics NAV databases updated directly
Duplicates automatically avoided
o NIM Configuration:
Determine which Aloha POS transactions go to which table in MS Dynamics NAV
including identification of Journals, Store Dimension, Posting Set-ups and GL
Account mapping
Define frequency of interchanges
Below is an illustration of the macro level solution footprint recommended to Client for this project:
Business Forms and Reports Inclusion. The Standard forms and reports available in NAV
2018 is recommended to be utilized. It is also recommended that Account Schedules and
Analysis by Dimensions be maximized as a reporting tool and be used to generate financial
reports unique to Client. Any business form or report not standard in NAV 2018 or not
identified to be part of customization covered in this documentation is going to be treated
as a separate and engagement and will be billable to the client.
Statutory Reporting. The scope of work and commercial details covered in this engagement will
include objects and implementation services for BIR CAS Compliance Pack for NAV 2018 nor services
to migrate the BIR Objects from the company’s existing version of MS Dynamics NAV to NAV 2018.
The GTI BIR Pack should it be decide to be part of the engagement includes the following:
o Books of Accounts
Purchase Journal Cash Disbursement Journal
Purchase Book Cash Receipts Journal
Sales Journal Inventory Book
Sales Book Credit Memo
General Journal Debit Memo
General Ledger
Installation. One time installation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 application in three (3)
environments – Test, Development and Production is included in this engagement. Reinstallation
regardless of cause or reason is billable.
Training. GTI will provide a one-time training base on the included functional scope of work
including:
o System Administration – Installation, Data Migration, Security Roles and Permissions
o Core Team Training where users will be trained for the management and utilization of the
configured system.
o Assistance during End User Training where Core Team members are expected to prime the

Today, GTI provides an end-to-end, comprehensive, and fully integrated business solutions, along with
the industries’ best practices, to maximize its clients’ business growth. Over the years, it has successfully
implemented hundreds d distribution industries, but in other industries such as Food and Beverage,
Hospitality, Consumer of projects, not just in the Retail goods, Financial Services, Utilities, Public Sector,
Manufacturing, among others.
GTI stands at the frontline of global technology, bringing the latest solutions designed to suit business
needs. We partnered with the following world class solutions – Microsoft, RetailPro, NCR, Qlik, JDA, and
Ramco, covering industry needs such as Retail, Hospitality, Consumer Goods, Financial Services, Utilities,

Association.
Sure Step Methodology can be used for projects encompassing large, medium, and small end-to-
engagement. The methodology provides different project types to suit implementation engagement, as
well as optional offerings to assist during Diagnostic and Optimization.
Sure Step Methodology offers 5 different project types and has six phases.
The Analysis, Design, Development, Deployment and Operation phases represent the five implementation
phases of the Sure Step Methodology.
Analysis Phase. In this phase the project is kicked off and the baseline scope is established. The
Functional Requirements Document gets signed off in this phase and the Final Fit Gap Analysis is
also completed.
Design Phase. This phase features the initiation of Design documents for the Solution, including
any customizations.
Development Phase. Majority of the work is done in the Development phase, which culminates
with the completion of solution setup and configuration, as well any customization of the solution.
All customization code is frozen for deployment at the end of this phase.
Deployment Phase. Key activities in the Deployment phase include User Training, User
Acceptance Testing, and the Go-Live of the solution.
Operation Phase. Finally, in the Operation phase, the solution is stabilized during the immediate
post go-live period, and the solution is transitioned to Support.
Standard. The Standard project type is a lean approach for implementing Microsoft Dynamics
solutions at a single site.
Rapid. The Rapid project type depicts an accelerated approach for implementing Microsoft Dynamics
solutions with minimal or no customizations.
Enterprise. The Enterprise project type represents a standardized approach for implementing
Microsoft Dynamics solutions in complex single-site deployments, or in global/multi-site organization
wherein country/site specific unique business needs have to be factored on top of a core solution.
Agile. The Agile project type represents a flexible and collaborative approach to implementing
Microsoft Dynamics Solutions at a single site requiring specific features and moderate-to-complex
customizations. While the Standard, Rapid, Enterprise and Upgrade project types are waterfall-based,
the Agile project type uses the Sprint cycle approach to solution deployment.
Upgrade. The Upgrade project type describes the approach for bringing an existing Microsoft
Dynamics solution to a subsequent release of that solution. This approach starts with a Technical
Upgrade to address moving existing functionality to the subsequent release. Any new functionality
desired is then deployed using the above project types, Rapid, Standard, Agile or Enterprise.
The Standard, Rapid, Enterprise, and Upgrade project types are waterfall-based, and have all five phases.
In contrast, the Agile project type does not have any distinct phases for Analysis thru Development – it
does include Development and Operation phases however.
STANDARD project type will be applied in implementing Dynamics NAV to Client which applies to a project
to be implemented at a single site and requiring specific features and moderate-to-complex customizations.
The standard project type is typically used in implementation projects where one or more of the
following circumstances exist:
Customer specific features
Moderate-to-complex customizations
ISV Solution included
Simple-to-complicated infrastructure
Customer specific integrations or interfaces to third-party systems
Simple-to-complex data migration
Medium-to-large number of users
The foundation for the Standard implementation scenario includes the activities in the Diagnostic
phase. Activities such as Requirements and Process Review, Fit Gap and Solution Blueprint, Architecture
Assessment, and Scoping Assessment result in a clear understanding of the customer requirements and
success factors, which forms the basis of the implementation.
This methodology consist of a proven approach to implement Dynamics NAV is not intended to form a
rigid structure that leaves the client no room for flexibility. It is a guide to raise the success factor of the
project while still taking into consideration the specific need of the client and the project team.
The project is estimated to be completed within 6-8 month. The Project plan below is an initial guide and
projection of the activities and may be subjected to possible changes. Actual dates will be finalized
immediately after the project kick-off including target start and go-live date with the latter having
dependency on the agreed frequency of meetups and availability of the identified project team members.
The major activities in each implementation phase are described below. A sign-off at the end of each
milestone is required before moving to the next phase of the implementation. This ensures that the
project stays within the agreed scope, timeline and budget.

Project Closure Documentation and Transition to Support
Before engaging with the project, it should be clearly defined who is allocated to the required roles from
both the consulting organization and the customer. This will eliminate potential conflicts over
responsibilities and subsequent misunderstandings as the project progresses. The skill sets of the
proposed team should be reviewed to ensure that all skill requirements are met. Any additional skills
required should be noted, and a training and/or recruitment plan should be defined accordingly whenever
necessary.
Consulting Roles:
Customer Roles:
Before the project kicks off, project guidelines referring to resource management, standard of
communication, issue management, time and cost management, and conditions of satisfaction must be
set and agreed to avoid implementation creeps.
Project Team Members. Customer shall provide resource for every required project role. Changes to the
project organizational structure or team member’s unconstructive attitude and indecisiveness towards
the project may impact the successful completion of the project.
It is imperative that everybody in the team has a comprehensive view of the background of the
project, the business reasons for undertaking the implementation, and any other valuable
information regarding Business Processes—high-level Functional, non-Functional (IT), and
Integration and Interface requirements.
It is also very important that the team have a good understanding of the current Information
Services/Information Technology (IS/IT) landscape, as well as the short- and long-term IS/IT
strategies. This will help to get the buy in of the team and the users and avoid misaligned
recommendation and other problems.
The client’s project organization structure is expected to remain intact for the duration of the
project. Team members are expected to be available throughout the duration of the project to
assist GTI with functional and technical requirements and design validation, attend project
meetings, participate in issue resolutions, review and validate documents for sign-off. They may
even be required to be pulled out of their daily tasks to concentrate on their implementation
duties and deliverables. The team member’s project assignment and activities may be recorded
as additional skills in their 201 file for commendation or even additional incentive to encourage
and foster positive results to the project.
It is the responsibility of the Core Team to train additional resources or retrain old users. GTI shall
provide full training to the Core team member by assigning one trainer and 2 assistants for 8
attendees for each functional area. GTI shall provide 1 application consultant to assist the Core
Team during End-user training. Any additional resource or services beyond this shall be billable.
GTI will provide a project team consisting of experienced consultants who will do the project
according to a detailed project plan that will be agreed upon with client.
GTI shall address fully and in a timely manner all issues referring to consultant’s performance or
attitude GTI shall investigate and take corrective measures as deemed necessary.
Technical Resources. Although the scope of work has been identified, there may be requirements and
deliverables outside the project scope that may affect the success of the project. This includes the
availability of hardware and other software required to run the application. If customer requires GTI to
manage these out of scope activities, GTI shall bill Client separately.
Appropriate hardware and software for the development, testing and production environments,
including facilities and equipment, must be available in time for use in the project activities where
they will be required.
Client will assume responsibility for implementation and maintenance of network environment,
communications, operating system, SQL database, application and database servers.
Safekeeping of all software licenses, maintenance and upkeep of hardware, network and
database shall be the responsibility of the client.
Change Management. The crucial part of any project is with defining and controlling what is in scope and
what is out of scope. It is helpful to plan and document how project scope will be defined, verified,
managed and controlled by the project management team. Clear and precise scoping leads to customer
acceptance and satisfaction.
It is a known fact that Issues can arise any time after starting the project. Critical issues would affect time,
scope, budget or quality of the project and need to be resolved in an appropriate time frame. The project
team needs to be proactive in managing issues rather than reactive. A solid issue management can make
the difference between project success and failure.
A formal issue management process should be used to handle important issues and to synchronize with
scope, time and cost management. Planning and managing of issues should be part of the overall project
management and it should be in agreement with the Customer Project Manager.
Managing issues proactively is key. If issues are ignored or not resolved in the timeframe needed,
this could have further negative impacts to the project.
Make issues visible to the appropriate team members and stakeholders for an understanding and
to get the required support.
Consider the impact of issues on legal and contractual requirements.
Consider the impact of issues on the projects scope, timeline and budget.
Ay issue arising that is identified to be out of scope or any additions, deletions, modifications which has
risen from a decision or milestone that has already been signed-off will require in writing a Change Order
Request. GTI will have no obligation to render additional services or execute any Change Order Request
by the client’s designated Project Manager unless the rationale behind the request has been established,
a technical and functional impact assessment done and both parties has come to an agreement on the
impact affecting commercial and timeline. Both parties shall follow below procedure and use the Change
Order Request Document (CORD):
1. Customer shall Identify and use the CORD to document the request
2. GTI shall communicate functional and technical impact of each CORD
3. Both parties shall assess and prioritize all CORDs submitted.
4. GTI shall provide estimated man-day and cost required for the effort of each CORD
5. Both parties shall sign the CORD before execution indicating approval to execute and charge for
the additional services.
6. Deliver, test, and report progress
7. Accept, deploy and communicate change resolution.
When the change resolution has been provided for testing, client has the obligation to update GTI in
writing within 3 days of receipt indicating acceptance or requirement to revise the change resolution,
otherwise GTI will deem the resolution as accepted and shall proceed to bill the client.
Data Management. Migration of data from the source or legacy systems is the final critical phase of the
project and is the key to success as well as user adoption. Data migration should not be underestimated
as this is the most common set-back of system implementation. Data migrated into Production has to be
timed accurately so as to ensure that users see the most recent data when the system is available to them.
Client will be provided with the template for uploading the data into NAV.
Client has the sole responsibility to prepare, scrub, update and validate the data that goes into
the template as well as when it has been uploaded into the system. It is assumed that the data
provided is accurate. GTI personnel will not be held responsible for the accuracy or validity of the
data.
An initial migration of data into test environment shall be provided by the client for training and
UAT activities. For purposes of testing, initial set of static data (Master-files) and one-month of
transactional data will be required.
An initial migration of data into the production environment will be performed post UAT
acceptance to avoid overloading the systems over the go-live weekend and is typically done a
week before the actual go-live. This data typically includes static data or what are commonly
referred to as Master-files. These typically includes:
o Chart of Accounts
o Banks
o Customer
o Vendor
o Item
o Set-up data requirement such as Dimensions, Posting Groups, Payment methods, etc.
The final data migration is done over the weekend prior to go-live. Since most of the initial data
is already loaded before go-live, the final data load will take into account final beginning balances
only. This concept expedites the migration process and eliminates last-minute glitches that can
jeopardize the cutover. It is mandatory to lock the system from end users while the final data
migration tasks are being performed.
For both the initial and final data migration, a sign-off document will be required. Any additional
services for data migration once sign-off has been rendered shall be billable.
