Week ending 5/12/14 - not long til Xmas!

This week at FPC.
On the accounts and tax side, client's chased for books or missing data. The deadline is fast approaching for personal tax returns.
On the Dynamics Nav side of the business, 2 client on site visits this week and 1 booked for next week. One this week was a meet and greet with a discussion on upgrading from Dynamics Nav v4 to 2015 and what the benefits would be. We do not do upgrades so this may or may not lead to more work if the client can find a business case.
Another client visit for a very intense day on what Dynamics Nav has on offer. The client is a current user but only for base financials. So the day consisted of running through all the functionality in Nav. Went well.
Also confirmed this week maximum number of users for Dynamics Nav is circa 500. More than I thought but there must be some benefits to the Internet friendly end user interface.
Next week I am at a client site providing some on site training re Dynamics Nav - or as the client calls it a master class.
Work completed this week was mainly around first line support. Issues resolved included:
Confirmed reason for error in excel data sales data file load. Error fixed by client on excel file and reloaded successfully.
Completed a number of bug fixes / enhancements for developments previously delivered. Included text overlap error resulting from inconsistent text lengths for related but different objects.
Confirmed latest client UAT database copy of live from last week.
Developments completed this week, delivered and now in live:
Transfer order excel file load.
Quotes provided this week for:
Alternate business address for new business within set of Nav books.
Adding posted document line descriptions to GL entries form.
Bar code search development - so when bar codes (yes codes) are added to the cross reference table on Nav, a item field called bar code search is updated with all bar codes assigned to the item. the user can then user standard Nav data fields to search for bar codes.
Auto match posted customer ledger entries with common reference point. Really a clear up for posted entries from another development that did not clear due to net refunds.
Waiting for approval and will then schedule the work.
Still looking at / investigating the following:
Jet report issue #VALUE error.
Journals created but at a zero value for sales legacy load (journal represents cost accrual which is created at the same time as sales invoice data).
That's it for this week. :)
