Week ending 22/7/16

No client visits last week so spent the whole week in the office which mad a change.
Developments completed last week included 2 new customer fields populated by a legacy data feed. One query raised which will be confirmed this week so we can deliver for user acceptance testing.

Pdf and emailing better solution [v4 sp3] completed for 1 of 4 documents. Query raised for other 3 documents and awaiting client response. Will get this completed and delivered this week.
Changes made to cheque remittance report [2009 Classic] - this was started from scratch to get the cheque numbering to work (demo report did not miss cheque numbers where the remittance details exceeded 1 page). Final testing this week and then deliver to client.
So a week for starting developments but not completing. A lot of developments last week took a lot longer than thought to complete. One of those weeks.
Developed a Invoice Post, Email and Print page action off sales orders and delivered to client. [Nav2013r2].
Started auto last modified date change from unit cost changes. This will be complete this week.
Configuration work completed last week included starting permission set assignment to user ids for a client (all users UK and US super users) [Nav 2013r2].
So plans for this week are:
No client visits again this week. It is holiday season!
Complete and deliver the following developments when clients have confirmed answers to queries:
cheque remittance report, 2 new customer fields and pdf and emailing.
Complete final testing with client re Spindle and cc email changes as requested.
Complete US sales tax report for client. [Nav2013r2].
Start / complete any approved POs this week. [Nav2013r2].
Potential project telephone interview Tuesday afternoon.
So that's all for now folks.

Week ending 15/7/16

Completed last week:
On site support for management accounts (last hand over) and a meeting to confirm next stages. As a result, a number of quotes submitted for approval last Friday so waiting to here. [Nav 2013r2]
Fixed issue with account schedule not showing Preview data - down to column layout having no configuration data. [Nav v5 DE].
Started Spindle changes for 4 document reports for including cc email address. Slight issue with Spindle (not Nav) configuration but resolved. Just need to test when client free this week. [Nav 2013r2].
Fixed sales invoice email issue re email body text. [Nav 2013r2].
Attended client site to install new label printer (not network). Could not get to work (label printer printed labels not down the label but landscape) but with a few tweaks of another networked label printer re its font managed to get this working on network for multiple users off released production orders. [Nav 2009 Classic app, v4 database]. Following site visit 2 new production planing reports requested which we will work on this week and next.
Provided support re month end queries [Dynamics Nav 2013r2].
Started the better solution for pdf and emailing documents off v4 sp3 Nav. Not as easy as Nav 2013 as no pdf creator built in. Performance issues corrupting data so needed to find a better solution that could easily be migrated (in whole or part) to Nav 2016.
Completed a number of other quotes for a mix of current clients. Some rejected (actual volume of data for a report very small so no need for development) and some waiting to here whether approved or not. One quote was to track changes to unit cost so that any change made would trip last modified date. Found a really need solution. [Nav 2009 RTC].
Developments to be completed this week:
Adding 2 new bespoke fields to customer table and changing dataport feed into Dynamics Nav to take new data to new fields. [Nav 2009 Classic].
Finish and deliver pdf and emailing documents development. Book on site visit to test on site.
Make changes to cheque remittance report as requested. [Nav 2009 RTC].

All quiet on Dynamics Nav 2016 implementation - we are the developers not the project managers and are waiting feedback from end user testing but assume as a retail business they are busy selling!
So in short very busy especially for this time of year!

Weeks ending 8/7/16

Work completed in the last few weeks included:
On site training on look and feel and specifically on accounts schedules and column layouts. [Nav 2013r2].
Amended remittance advice report (pre post) for additional columns and totals. Nav 2009 RTC but used Classic sections instead and deleted layout as sections more flexible in Nav 2009.
Configured document approval process for US database. Configured resources and sales quotes for US database. Amended and extended PDF emailing on US database for a number of documents. [Nav 2013r2].
Completed BACS extract report as per bank BACS specification. [Nav 2013r2].
Spent a lot of time end of last week and this week trying to resolve a Bullzip pdf issues on Nav v4 SP3. Weird issue re pdf file content and file name inconsistency and then even stranger issue on our local v4 database where the BullZip code hangs the Nav application with a busy message re current open form. So user cannot close the form list. Investigating further this week.
Plans for this week include 2 on sites (label printer configuration and amendment to Nav report as a result of new label printer) and on site training / management accounts visit. Other plans for this week include catch up on Nav 2016 client testing, complete approved development changes re cc email on Spindle Nav addon - basically a configuration change to Spindle and changes to a number of Nav reports [Nav 2013r2] and complete cheque remittance report changes as per client spec [Nav 2009].
That's all for this week folks.
