Fully booked out for the next 2 weeks

First of all apologies for the late blog and no blog Easter week.
Dynamics Nav market has really taken off. Turning work down and also meeting clients in the hotel I am staying in while away on the Nav 2013 implementation in the South.
So busy busy.
Good week on Nav 2013 implementation with good progress made. Issues still arising, bugs raised and being fixed. Not far until go live so more issues will arise. Had an interesting time getting open sales orders to work using xml ports on Nav 2013. Incompatible date issue which resolved by making text type field and evaluating. Also had a problem re the Euro sign on some accounts (as part of the account number) so loaded in legacy account number and got the xmlport to map. All workarounds and all worked.
New request for a report to quote on next week for an existing client. Delivered vendor statement report for another client. Much more complex that I expected so took ages. Awaiting feedback.

Terms and scope agreed on consultancy work - not Dynamics Nav. Need to schedule work next week for delivery pre 9th May.
On the accounts / payroll side, still quite but ticking over.
Short and sweet blog this week as lost 1 day to a bank holiday. Out all next week at client sites and the week after.

4 out of 5 days at client sites this week, same next.....

On the Dynamics Nav side of the business, another busy week for both current and potential clients. Now having to start turning business away we are so busy.
3 days on site again this week for the Nav 2013 implementation which included a Solution Centre walkthrough with the client. Weird one this - basically it was a review of whether the client was fit to use Dynamics Nav and ready for go live. A first for me and lasted all day.
New client for report developments. Quote approved and first report completed and delivered today.
New client for non Dynamics Nav work after contact with my boss from Hays. Work is assisting with shared services creation. Letter of engagement sent. NDA yet to be received. So looking at starting this work next week ish!
Phone enquiry for Dynamics Nav help which was the business I turned down. Requirement for 5 days a week on site support with configuration / development around jobs, resources and intercompany charging. Passed on a colleagues contact details for them to try.
Next week on client sites all week - bar Friday but that is a bank holiday! :)
So the Dynamics Nav market is hot hot hot!
On the accounts side, nearly all RTIs for payrolls for last tax year completed after checking to payments. New year payrolls created.
That's all for this week!

Another week goes by but at least the sun is out today!

Another busy week for our Dynamics Nav services. Nav 2013 implementation project has now reached the stage of transaction data migration testing. Started with open customer and vendor ledger entries. Today I have tried copy and paste from excel directly to Nav and all good. Works well bar document type (will not accept blanks) and due date (nature of open items data migration means due date defined by legacy system, Nav by default calculates this using payment terms). But as long as the format of columns is ok, data pastes very well. Due to due date issue, had to use xml ports which I do not like. But all working bar a strange issue with the EURO sign which the client has included in account number. Will resolve this next week as it looks like a keyboard issue. Very strange.
Started to look at manufacturing module to get to grips with end to end process. Typical Nav in that it is functionality rich but driven by menu options with no short cut menus to speed up the process.
Had a phone call off a potential asking about training as he had just joined a business that uses Dynamics Nav. Quoted for work but will have to wait and see.
Spoke to a colleague from a few jobs ago who needed AX expertise. Provided some Nav related advice (similar but not the same set up and we do not support AX) and suggested a contact to get the best advice. So hopefully that will help.
Developments signed off and delivered this week - as usual!
Bar that pretty quiet on the new business / enquiries front.
On the accounts / tax side, quiet week. But tax year end tomorrow!
