Been busy...............

Yet again been a while since the last blog. Last week out all week and next week out all week.
So busy on the Dynamics Nav front. Go live over the week end for Nav 2013 implementation project. Client ready though usual nerves around a new ERP application. On site all week next week providing on site support and completing data migration for open sales and purchase orders, opening stock and open customer and purchase ledger entries. These will all be done next week. Then I am off the case (no more on site work for 3 days a week) and the client will be the usual FPC client i.e. they are in touch when they need our services.
Also about to get an order for development for another client. More than 10 days PO which is good. Original deadline for completion now but all sorts of delays (result of client's business acquisition) has meant that development deadline will now be before end of June.
New client booked a day's training on Dynamics Nav general ledger and reporting.
Bar that a quiet week for Dynamics Nav. Having a relaxing Friday which makes a nice change. Calm before next week's storm of a go live.
On the accounts / tax side, nothing exciting happening. Books are coming on for annual accounts / personal tax returns but these are early. Deadline not until Jan 31 2015.
That's all for this week. No blog next week.

Not blogged for some time...

It has been very busy at FPC. Especially on the Dynamics Nav side of the business. Nav 2013 implementation project due to go live on 1st June still on track but issues arising. Some typical of any implementation project (left field stuff that you cannot predict will happen) but most reflect the imminent go live. :) Found out this week that Nav 2013 profiles can get corrupted (not worked out how as yet) but discovered how to restore and what not to do when restoring profiles.
More developments delivered this week to a number of clients including a vendor statement (more complex than it sounds) and alternative logos for businesses within a group using 1 company on Dynamics Nav v4. Same client has also requested quote for legacy sales and purchase invoice data from a business recently acquired. Just awaiting final formats for files that need to be loaded and agreement as to what type of data load (dataport v excel upload) required.
Also completed some quotes for Dynamics Nav training (general ledger and reporting) and report development for potential clients. Waiting to hear back. So the market for Dynamics Nav still very active.
On non Dynamics Nav work, completed shared services proposed process flows for a client including proposed organisation chart.
Next week will be another busy week for Dynamics Nav work with the Nav 2013 implementation go live only 2 weeks off, a few client visits and some planned data migration work. Will also need to confirm quotes for developments.
On the accounts side, starting to clients' books for the latest tax year for accounts and personal tax comps.
That's all for this week.
