DYNAMICS NAV.

Microsoft ® Business Solutions – Dynamics NAV ® (previously Navision) gives the freedom to focus on your business by providing an efficient way to streamline procedures and increase productivity.

You can replace your existing system with a single fully integrated solution connecting everyone in your organization.

Dynamics NAV is a successful international platform, with a proven track record and more than 350,000 company installations.

It’s important to choose a business management system that meets your current requirements but is flexible enough to cope with the future needs of your business and is within your budget limitations.

Dynamics NAV is designed for medium sized companies looking for an integrated solution that delivers functionality to support financial management, supply chain collaboration, and e-commerce.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is fully customisable, easy to learn and intuitive to use.  All information is securely held in one database allowing your employees to optimise your business processes, streamline your business and increase productivity.

However the standard system has some very limited HR functionality and no payroll.  The Miracle range of HRM products aim to ‘plug’ this gap with a sophisticated set of modern applications that will meet the needs of the most demanding HR Department.

miraclePAY for Dynamics NAV

An extremely flexible application that has been designed to reduce the time taken to execute day-to-day Payroll processing tasks.

MiraclePAY for Dynamics NAV is an advanced Payroll application. It extends your ability to execute expected day-to-day Payroll operations by facilitating the capture, manipulation and management reporting of invaluable data.

Additional feature common to Payroll applications includes:

• Scalability from 100 to 10,000 employees
• Multiple company and multiple Payroll formats supported
• Document linking
• Dynamic rollback facility for advanced data recovery
• Dynamic linking to external third party software
• Microsoft Windows-standard graphical user interface
• Comprehensive analysis drill-down for in-depth reporting purposes

Today our clients are realising the value of integrating MiraclePAY and MiraclePEOPLE to create a powerfully combined Payroll and HR system with which to manage the demands and expectations of their employees and line management teams whilst eliminating the duplication of data.

miracleBUREAU

Provides the ability to:

• Manage multiple payrolls as a single entity i.e. run pay-advices for all companies in the bureau rather than initiating individual pay-advice runs.
• Option to manage a Bureau in a flexible manner mopping up late input of data for particular employees including prior period data.

The use of the three options will vary from Agency to Agency. A small recruitment company may only require miracleAGENCY. Whilst only operating only one or two payrolls the basic timesheet functionality of miraclePAY will suffice and there is no need of a bureau option. Other recruitment companies may require both the miracleAGENCY and miracleTIMESHEETS functionality; here there may not be many employees managed but the actual data collection and integration to the Contracts is essential to them.
A more complex Agency managing maybe over a thousand umbrella companies will need all three modules, whilst a traditional accountancy practice providing an outsourced payroll function for it’s clients may only need the miracleBUREAU functionality.

As with all miraclePAY installations the flexibility exists to add client specific functionality into the core solution retaining at the same time the ability to move the organisation forward easily from tax year to tax year without significant bespoke development each time. This provides a very cost effective solution.

Miracle Dynamics will be adding to the functionality these modules over the next few releases and extending the offering to cover other areas of the Agency’s core operations such as Recruitment and CV Management, providing automated functionality to reduce the administrative burden.

miraclePORTAL

Miracle Dynamics are currently developing an employee and manager portal module.
There were be two different modules, one based on .NET functionality and the other on Share Point referred to generically as employee self service.

Any employee will be able to register to access the employee self service facility. To register they must e-mail the IT Department who will forward the HR generated initial password which the employee should change ASAP.

As part of adding the employee to payroll an entry will be created in the employee self service file with a user name of forename_surname and a password generated by the HR system (eight characters long). Both entries will be encrypted within the file and will be generated and decoded via an OCX to enforce the security.

Passwords MUST be changed every 30 days and be six to ten characters long and contain both numeric and alphabetic characters.

The initial form will provide:

•   Area to log-in
•   Company news bulletin

The employee HR home page will list:

• the basic employee data common to payroll & HR
• the employee’s work details
• the employee’s home contact details
• access to company handbook
• employee message indicator (including events pertinent to the employee)
• Timesheet facility
• Expense recording facility
• menu buttons to access;

message viewer with update/reply facilities and option to initiate requests. The latter will be ‘focused’ and cover:

• absence data – including self-certification form
• holiday data

The Miracle Group has been developing systems for the Recruitment industry since the mid-nineties. Currently we have over a dozen recruitment companies using a mixture of our Dynamics NAV Payroll and HR technology. This is not surprising as they often have difficult and demanding payroll issues to resolve, and require a great deal of systems flexibility.

A number of sales in the last year have necessitated Miracle Dynamics getting much more heavily involved in the broader Recruitment Industry requirements. Consequently Miracle have provided much more than the core Payroll and extended their involvement to cover the operational aspects of the business. This is a logical extension of the Payroll and employee data capture function (miracleTIMESHEETS).

The recruitment industry is much more complex than people realise with many specialist types of agency in the market. Some specialise in self-employed people and IR35, and others specialise in tax limitation issues and/or specific market sectors. Because of this Miracle have designed the structure of miracleAGENCY and its associated modules of miracleBUREAU and miracleTIMESHEETS to provide a flexible framework in which all organisations in this space can trade.

The functionality of these modules is described below:

miracleAGENCY

Provides the core Agency function of:

• Client management (extension of Dynamics NAV SL functionality) – billing

Requirements, charges, rules etc.

• Contract Management – rates, time, pay items permitted, duration etc.
• Invoicing.
• SL and GL journals.
• Client reporting.

miracleTIMESHEET

 Provides the ability to:

• Link employees to contracts – automatically linking to Payroll with fixed start and end dates where required.
• Pay via Payroll or Purchase ledger (self employed).
• Generate draft timesheets.
• Enter timesheets across payrolls that can be controlled by Payroll, Bureau, Client or Contract and includes the collection of hours and expenses.
• Highlight missing timesheets.
• Provide for the ‘catch-up’ of late timesheets and where required, separate treatment of NI across multiple pay periods.

miracleBUREAU

 Provides the ability to:

• Manage multiple payrolls as a single entity i.e. run pay-advices for all companies in the bureau rather than initiating individual pay-advice runs.
• Option to manage a Bureau in a flexible manner mopping up late input of data for particular employees including prior period data.

The use of the three options will vary from Agency to Agency.

A small recruitment company may only require miracleAGENCY. Whilst only operating only one or two payrolls the basic timesheet functionality of miraclePAY will suffice and there is no need of a bureau option.

Other recruitment companies may require both the miracleAGENCY and miracleTIMESHEETS functionality; here there may not be many employees managed but the actual data collection and integration to the Contracts is essential to them.

A more complex Agency managing maybe over a thousand umbrella companies will need all three modules, whilst a traditional accountancy practice providing an outsourced payroll function for it’s clients may only need the miracleBUREAU functionality.

As with all miraclePAY installations the flexibility exists to add client specific functionality into the core solution retaining at the same time the ability to move the organisation forward easily from tax year to tax year without significant bespoke development each time. This provides a very cost effective solution.
