Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is a Microsoft enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for medium to large organisations.

At the same time, Microsoft rebranded their business software suite for small businesses (Business Edition, Financials) to Finance and Operations, Business Edition, however, the two applications are based on completely different platforms.
