Another busy week for the Dynamics Nav side of the business. 4 days on site at one client for the Dynamics Nav 2013 implementation. More master data files loaded with items (stock) following next week. Review of go live date not yet completed but all tasks included in project plan.
This week due to a frustrating time on finding a complete list of hot fixes for Nav 2013 (not R2), I have now added a complete (to Feb 2014) list of platform and application hot fixes on a new web page http://www.dynamicsnavukhelp.co.uk/nav-2013-hot-fixes/. The application hot fixes are particularly of use given the bugs I have come across just from client queries. Especially the accounts schedule one where for total accounts the values in overview are invisible.
Also discovered the process for how Solution Centres apply these hot fixes. And also that all hot fixes are cumulative. Which for the application side makes sense.
Rescheduled on site visit at our FPC offices for another client for a week later due to the client commitments.
Investigated options for a potential client for bar code readers and Nav. Brilliant article at https://community.dynamics.com/nav/b/navguestcolumn/archive/2011/09/22/barcodes-magic-revealed-part-1.aspx for the bar code novices like us. Tested today and works as per the article. Yes only good for usb bar code scanners but works as an alternative key board. A little more research revealed that for bar code font 3 of 9 (don't ask!) you need to include a surrounding '*' to the field to ensure bar code reader reads the bar code. All interesting stuff I did not know before. Hopefully as a result of confirming this we will have a new customer. Fingers crossed.
Pretty quiet on the accounts, payroll and tax services side of the business. Emily on maternity leave from close of play today so I am now responsible for payrolls each week. Oh the joys! :)
So another busy week. All I need now is for clients to pay their invoices!
