Week ending 13/3/15

On the Dynamics Nav side of the business, a quiet week. Some major internal achievements have included finally getting to grips with Nav instances in Nav 2013 and sql restores. We used to get application back ups from clients but from Nav 2013R2 onwards this is such a pain in the neck we now use sql backups. Still involves a lot of command prompts (or to use the more modern name Power Shell) but got it all working for a new client.
Work completed this week included data migration from Dynamics Nav to another system - more extracts (vendor bank) and responses to queries raised. One query was how to auto assign vendor class -  a field required for new system. Not easily done but made a few suggestions.
Blast from the past was a query on ODBC connections into Excel. Helped by confirming process. All working.
Started the process for a client (using Dynamics Nav v5 DE) to change all users from role SUPER to other role options. Started with a single user which resulted in 2 queries to date both of which fixed. One permissions error was around German specific module and the other on record links which standard Nav roles include as read only. So created MISSED permission role with new access rights to record links and ready for any other missing permissions.
Fixed bug on item forecast functionality (client bespoke) re production components production order quantity not being taken from the component line table. Corrected and now working. Also added more navigation options for item forecast standard form.
Fixed bug in German bespoke report that referred to dateformula of 1T which will not work when using the English language pack. Other bugs in same report fixed after copying to a new report id.
Received an enquiry off a potential new Dynamics Nav client to help with end user and super user training as part of their implementation. Meeting this week to discuss further and agree terms if they want us to help.
Never mind - holiday coming up next week for a break and to recharge the batteries.
So no blog next Monday.
