Fornav - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Fornav is a comprehensive document and reporting suite built for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, covering the full document lifecycle from creation and customization through distribution, archiving, and e-invoicing. Delivered under a single all-in-one license, Fornav includes six integrated modules: Report Pack, Designer, Direct Print, Excel Integration, File Service, and E-invoicing. The suite is available for both Business Central Cloud (SaaS) and on-premises deployments, with Dual Use Rights included under a yearly subscription, allowing organizations to run either environment without separate licensing.

Fornav ships with 100+ ready-to-use reports spanning sales, purchase, service documents, financial statements, labels, and statistics, reducing implementation time from the outset. The no-code WYSIWYG Designer uses drag-and-drop layout building, Master Section Technology for reusable templates, a JavaScript editor, and a live preview mode, removing dependency on specialized developers for report creation and modification. Direct Print routes FORNAV, RDLC, and Word reports from the BC web client to any network printer without user interaction, with support for background printing via NAS, API, scanners, and webshops. The File Service module extends BC Cloud with access to local drives and network paths, PowerShell Handlers for script execution, scanner and scale connectivity, FTP communication, and external API calls. E-invoicing supports ZUGFeRD 2.5, XRechnung, and Factur-X formats with Peppol network integration for regional compliance. Data visualization capabilities include vector-rendered barcodes and QR codes, Swiss QR Bill support, custom embedded fonts, watermarks, and advanced PDF features such as password protection, editable fields, checkboxes, digital signatures, and appended PDFs.

Fornav version 8.3 introduces AI-agent discoverability through eight Business Central API pages built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). When Business Central's MCP Server is enabled, compatible AI clients including GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio, Claude, and ChatGPT can query report catalogs, health status, layout data contracts, translations, and field- and table-level schema without additional setup or custom integration code. Additional capabilities include automatic document archiving with a full audit trail, per-company report settings, source control with backup and restore, a Health Check tool for reports, multilingual support with a translation tool and per-language terms and conditions, and intelligent word wrapping with soft-hyphen support.
