A much busier week this week. Loads of work.
2 development quotes signed off by client this week with one provided late last year and the other this week. One development completed and the other will be delivered next week. The other development scheduled for completion week after next.
On site with a client this week for 'train the trainer' session on Nav 2015 for an add on re service maintenance. Created and then updated high level process flow for add on process. Published to client for comment and amendment. Never seen the Nav add on before. Go live May but only on the add on - no financials. That go live to follow in the next few months. Scheduled to complete end user step by step process based instructions early May and provide end user training (web client and RTC client) later in May just before go live. Due also to spec up Jet reports required for go live in the next week. The quote for and once approved schedule the work once we have a local version of Dynamics Nav 2015. Exciting times ahead.
More data extracts for client moving from Nav to another system re open vendor ledger entries (slight complexity as GL codes for posted document lines also required) across 30 businesses. Then data extracts required for P&L breakdown for the last quarter of the year. Extracts at general ledger entry level.
Completed 2 quotes this week - one mentioned above approved and completed. The other for another client has been sent but awaiting feedback / approval. Quote was for creating a new business from an old one on Dynamics Nav (v5 GB) which would involve configuration and data migration. Quote also included 3 years data extraction from the old Dynamics Nav business to another ERP system.
Responded to enquiry re report development for Nav 2013 for a client. Awaiting further report spec for reports required.
Confirmed to client change of licence required (module missing) for dimension 3 and 4 filtering on accounts schedules. Advanced Dimensions module required to v5 DE. Confirmed also available for on line training via TeamViewer.
On the support side, 2 queries this week re new regulations on settlement discount VAT treatment from 1st April (found a great blog that confirmed how to make the changes in Dynamics Nav so client happy and completed the changes) and query on why you could not select the currency code for a purchase invoice on the lines (explained to client this is held in the purchase invoice header so no need in lines and wrong place to choose it anyway).
On the forum side fixed a report for a US IT Manager re production. Just missing the dataitem link between 2 tables and so getting duplicate / repeated data.
Completed telephone interview for potential project. Wait for feedback next week. Sounds like a very interesting project with loads of work.
Away on holidays this next week - just as the weather is changing. Typical!

Can't you tell it's Easter part 3.
Another quiet week for Dynamics Nav which may be due to the latter part of Easter, Easter holidays or it's the election. Who knows.
Anyway an interesting week for enquiries: 2 days a week contract in Saudi starting asap a reasonable day rate but would at least another day travelling each week. Apparently no local Saudi resource available. Another enquiry re contract for major implementation for Dynamics Nav covering over 1000 users in Lincolnshire for 5 days a week on site. Waiting to hear if part of first stage telephone interviews this week. So the contract market hotting up. Just need our market to hot up!
Quote provided for changes to sales document layouts for Swiss customers of an existing client which is a UK business. Our client decided to not go forward with changes proposed.
Still heard nothing re quotes to clients including post go live user hand holding on site locally and awaiting formal email requesting quote following a phone conversation with another client re company creation and configuration and once only data extracts for another application.
One quote for POP training including set up of document approval on Nav 2013 approved and visit (to set up and train) scheduled for 2nd week in May.
Attended site for a new client for implementation walk through on Nav 2015. Focus primarily on Solution Centre add on. Creating high level process flows as a result ready for attendance this week for 'train the trainer' sessions on final end to end process.
Fixed Intrastat issue for a client on bespoke field re values. Caused by multiple lots on same shipment line and code (not ours) took total line value not value by lot (item ledger entry).
Checked client set up of new currency code on v2009 (database v4) was correct. One potential issue identified.
Spent most of last week answering forum queries. We have added short cuts to each answer across 3 Dynamics Nav forums to the blog web page.
That's all for this week folks!

Can't you tell it's Easter - part 2
Ok so I thought Good Friday week was quiet but last week even quieter. So not a lot happened on the Dynamics Nav side - just the following:
New Dynamics Nav client. Agreed call off order at discounted rate for 10 days.
Confirmed attendance for a new client for Dynamics Nav 2015 implementation walk through and potential attendance on super user training once agenda confirmed. Both required for add on from Solution Centre.
Now have remote access to new client's database so.....
Completed quick review of base configuration for same client and confirmed minor missing data.
Confirmed to German client Microsoft web link to compare Dynamics Nav versions and our web link for summary of differences. Client looking at potential upgrade or additional licence granule purchase. Depends on what is on new versions. Current version DE v5.
Confirmed reason for Intrastat missing journal entry as down to missing country / region code from shipment and therefore item ledger entry which is where intrastat journal lines come from.
Discussed various changes required by a client on GB v5 including new start for existing company, data extracts for another application and various other minor changes. Client will send email this week and we will respond to via a quote.
Set up new user for client on their Dynamics Nav (version 2009 application, version 4 database).
Bug reported on client's bespoke change to intrastat journals. Investigated and believe know what the issue is but need backup of latest database to develop, test and confirm. Waiting for backup.
Bar that waiting for responses to quotes to clients and responses to enquiries. Down to being Easter I think - I hope!
On the company front (Fraser Price Consulting Limited), changes made to share capital and directors last week. News of these changes will follow on our web site.

Can't you tell it's Easter!
Well it has been quiet this week but it is the first Easter week.
Dynamics Nav work completed this week includes:
Fixed further issues re permissions for non SUPER user for version 5 database - German version. Missed off bespoke client tables so added a new role just for these tables. Also needed to add on German specific modules.
Extract latest vendor data for a client who is moving from Dynamics Nav to another application. Used created dataports so simple process of text file creation across 30 different businesses.
Remote access to new client in the East Midlands will hopefully be set up this week so we can start to assist on implementation project.
Confirmed quote for POP configuration and training including document approval for Nav 2013 R2. Also fixed document approval bug in Nav 2013r2 (yes the latest patched version) for POP and SOP re approval value levels. Ignored value levels and forced all POs/SOs to go through approval process.
Chased up some quotes this week re on site training but no response. Will chase again next week.
Discussions re commission calculations on Dynamics Nav started with a client re what can and cannot be done out of the Nav application (v4). Expect these will continue this week and next and may (or may not) turn into chargeable work.
Confirmed quote to current client re logo changes (multiples using responsibility centres) to 7 report layouts (v5 GB). Waiting for approval and then we will complete the work.
So in short, lots of work prospects again but no one signing off on. Probably as it is Easter!
That's all for now folks.
