Choose the Right ERP for your business
D365BC is generally considered better for SMEs (Small and Medium Businesses), while D365FSCM is better for “complex or larger" organizations. This is because the two solutions have found their natural place, as evidenced by the profiles of their respective installed bases, which matches this perception.
Actually, it doesn't matter the size of your company or the number of users (in fact, there is a large overlap in the size of companies using each product).
