Week ending 26/6/15

Another quiet week for Dynamics Nav but got a little busier towards the end of the week.
For first line support, we investigated and fixed an issue with VAT statements and the settlements calc and post [Nav 2009 app, v4 objects], confirmed issue with a payment journal and posting attempts [v4], investigated issue re sales price changes and set up change log to pick up any changes to item and unit of measure tables [v2009 app, v4 objects], VAT Registration number field to general tab on vendor card [v2009 Classic] and confirmed / fixed issue re exchange rate movements for posted transaction and dimension same code issue [v5 DE].
We had a number of enquiries in the week from current clients (including 2 potential new reports around purchasing deals) and confirmed our training service to a number of potential new clients. Received an enquiry from our client to review report from another service provider. Confirmed quote for this work and it was accepted. Report for review due end of July.
Also on site attendance at a client site booked for today last week. Attended and provided on site support (setting up a new user on sql and Nav, identifying and fixing issue with a work centre which would not allow production journal postings as no calendar entries) as well as received details for new developments. We will be working on the developments this week.
Provided a quote for a current client re the process / work required as a result of an asset sale for some of the existing business where our client will move off Dynamics Nav and the purchaser will move on. Quote accepted (all around creating a new business on the database, configuring and data migration) and work scheduled for post asset sale completion which is scheduled this week.
Confirmed to an existing client process for date migration for sub ledgers for Nav 2013 and lack of same compression for item ledger entries. Will confirm a quote for date compression on sales and purchase ledgers and developing bespoke date compression for item ledger when client ready.
July and August are always our quietest months for work so we have reduced our day rates for any services charged by the day for these 2 months where the work is completed in the 2 months. £100  off per day. More details at Offers.
That's it for this week.

Week ending 19/6/15

Another quiet week on Dynamics Nav last week though we did have some development work.
Quotes submitted, approved, developed and delivered for new field on the item table and new report with excel export for bespoke functionality created for client. [Nav 2009 RTC).
2 on site visits to clients last week. Both for on site support - one for help and assistance with client issues on Jet Reports (Nav 2015) and the other for instructions on accounts schedules, year ends and a view of how to use Dynamics Nav more for the business. [Nav 2013 R2].
In fact last week quite the week for queries re year end close on Dynamics Nav. Most from clients but one from a referral (potential) from a Sage partner whose client is now on Dynamics Nav. Waiting to hear more on the latter but year end queries from clients covered Nav 2009 and 2013.
Also had a teleconference call on dimensions and what is possible on Nav v5 after client upgraded their licence for analysis by dimensions (advanced dimensions granule). Hopefully this will lead to more work.
Just quoted for 2nd opinion work on a report from a Solution Centre (due beginning of August) re extending a client's use of Dynamics Nav. [Nav 2009 Classic].
Pretty quiet on first line support as well - confirmed solution to application issue on sales ledger.
Updated web page re training today to make less wordage and more impact. See if that creates any trade.
I was meant to be on holiday this week but had to cancel. So free for any work!!
That's all for this week.

Monday 15 June 2015

Week ending 12/6/15

Back to a very quiet week for our Dynamics Nav services. Spent most of the last week on web pages, on line advertising and other hopefully sales generation tasks. Still very active on forums as well. So hopefully we will be busy again soon.
No developments in the week.
No on site training in the week.
On the first line support, confirmed reason for accounts schedule preview showing analysis view entries rather than general ledger entries. Down to assigning analysis view to accounts schedule. [v5].
Also loaded in salesperson code changes to customer records for a client via dataports and excel file provided by them. [v4]. Also confirmed default sort order change to a page defined by page design rather than user settings. Awaiting feedback as to whether quote required for changes to a number of pages. [v2009 RTC].
But this week already a little busier as out at client sites providing on site support today and tomorrow.  Also on a conference call later in the week discussing dimension configuration. So fingers crossed.
On the web page / on line advertising side we have completed some minor amendments to the look and feel of the home page as well as updating the offers page for our latest promotion which is for July and August £100 off day rates for any of our services charged by the day. For the remainder of this month we are also offering 5 days for the price of 4. More details of what the offer is on the Offers page. Both of these offers apply to our day rate charged services such as configuration, data migration, on site support, on site training and developments. The main site also has a site search tool on 7 days trial.
That's all for this week folks.
