No rest for the wicked!

Another busy week!
Met up with another Dynamics Nav consultant that lives locally. Always good to get new contacts just in case I get overloaded.
Work this week has included the new 3 days a week on site for a client. Various bits of work completed on site including fixed assets data migration and balance off the FA note, report developments and general support advice on Navision v4 SP3. Contract lasts until beginning of Dec 2011 and loads of work to keep me busy until then. This client also required a pure Dynamics Nav developer as one that was scheduled failed to turn up. Recommended a colleague who is being interviewed Tuesday next week. He will be a good resource for then as he has been a developer for more than 10 years.
Also completed some data migration for Navision v4. Customers and vendors. More data migration re opening transactions etc to follow in the next 2 weeks.
On site for another client on the day they started to use Dynamics Nav 2009 Classic. Sat in the background providing advice / fixes as required. Went well!
Various other support issues that arose in the week resolved.
That's all for now!

Another day another dollar....

Another busy week. On client site for 2 days this week with a regular 3 days a week on site attendance each week for the next 2 months. First day managed to resolve a coding issue in bespoke Nav v4 for the same client.
More development work completed for another client on Dynamics Nav 2009 RTC. Amended undo ship and undo receipt codeunit to allow GL codes as well as items codes. Not sure why not included by default as the impact is minimal. Fix to ensure Sell to customer price and discount groups takes precedence over Bill to. Changes to posting options re Ship/Invoice/Ship & Invoice and Receive/Invoice/Receive and Invoice to remove latter option from each and ensure Receive / Ship is default option for user. New customer statement report created and tested for same client.
User testing about to start on major development for another client. Hopefully all will be ok and I can then transfer to live and, more importantly, bill. Need to remember to multiple next quote for this client by a factor of 2 to account for extended time it takes for user tests.
Not much happening on book keeping side. Staff waiting for me to review.
Completed all initial config and data migration work for one client on Dynamics Nav v5. Just need to complete customer statement development.
That's all for now folks!

It is the week end tomorrow....

Thank goodness.
Busy week again for Dynamics Nav (Navision) work. 2 go lives this week - 1 for a client whon has managed his own data migration. We have been the support act as and when required. Gone very well. The other go live is going well as well. Data migration complete. Loads of user queries re missing data. This go live had a very quick turnaround from sign off of quote (2 weeks ago) to actual go live - this week. Basically create a new business on the same database, configure and migrate data to ensure users can use.
Phone calls this week re potential Dynamics Nav work. Time will tell as to whether we get more business. More quotes submitted to existing clients for work development and configuration work. One client needs new businesses in Nav with base configuration followed by data migration (masters, open items and TB history).
Out at new client for 3 days next week providing Nav support for an existing old implementation. Navision v4.
Apart from that, not much happening! :)
