Week ending 13/11/15

Slight change of approach here re the blog. A bit on work completed this week across a number of versions of Dynamics Nav and a list of 'Did you know' items.
Developments completed included:
New dataport for vendor ledger entries which included details of VAT as well as closed by. [Nav 2009 Classic].
Changes to defaults re reservations for specific items so that 'Always' option by default. Restrict item selections for production BOM design. [Nav 2009 Classic including v4 database].
Adding single page action mouse clicks to show posted documents on vendor ledger and general ledger as well as other single click page actions. [Nav 2013].
2 on site client visits - one last week for a question and answer session on Nav 2009 Classic including best method for VAT accounting and how to post unusual VAT entries. One yesterday to discuss the use of the new CASH FLOW module in Nav 2013 and whether it will fit the needs of the requirement for a rolling cash flow. Also ran through accounts schedule work completed for the client recently and still need to find or fix the trend issue In the GB database for column layouts.
Attended a potential client site to discuss services we could offer and provided some brief insight as to how best to use Dynamics Nav. [Nav 2013]. We may potentially be used for providing on site training in the new year. We will have to wait and see.
We now have the GB version of Dynamics Nav 2016 installed on a PC on our network with web services enabled. So if you want to have a look via TeamViewer (for the application view) or the web (for the web view) email us at neil@fpconsult.co.uk
What has really taken off in the last few months is the take up of our fixed price first line Dynamics Nav support. We support all versions from v2 to the latest 2016. We offer competitive rates when compared to what you are currently being charged as part of your annual maintenance and we offer a rolling month by month contract - no fixed term. The last few clients sho have taken this up are being charged £100 per month but this charge depends on the number of users and whether initial queries are managed by the client or us. Usually goes hand in hand with a transfer of Nav Partner which we also arrange via one of our own tame partners.
The 'Did you know' items:
1. Nav 2016 comes with proper workflow which is essentially an extension of the document approval but for other areas. Long list so just type in WorkFlow to the search bar.
2. You do not need to put up with multiple mouse clicks to get to a specific screen.
3.  From Nav 2013 onwards it is VERY easy to add a menu to your role centre action ribbon.

That's all for this week.
