Well last week was a week for on site client visits with yesterday being another and hence the delay in the blog publication.
Last week's client visits started with on site creation of management accounts following the departure of the Financial Controller (thought I had left this behind but you never lose the skills) followed by 2 days Nav 2016 training in Birmingham for 10 end users (mix of UK and European) covering financial management and finally last Thursday my regular visit to Kings Cross in London to assist in pulling together the list of developments / bugs in Nav 2013r2 and other related applications. And then yesterday I was at a client site locally (always nice to be local) to aid in the new Financial Controller induction specifically on Dynamics Nav 2013r2. So basically a training day.
So it has been a busy few days.
Plans for this week include less on site client visits (only 1 more this week after yesterday), a few conference calls, a few Teamviewer sessions and some chargeable work. Been a busy week for first line support this week so dealing with those issues today.
And I have accepted a month before Xmas that I ought to start planning for it personally. So all family Xmas presents bought yesterday (on line of course) and work Xmas do booked for next week.
So it is all good!
That's all for this week's blog. Have a great week.

A full week of work last week but much effort spent on getting supporting training material ready for Nav 2016 training this week.
Developments completed included a SPREAD development for Nav 2013r2 (obviously not needed for Nav 2016/17 given deferral functionality) and fixed bug in VAT Day Book Entry report [Nav 2013r2]. Developed a fix for GB database for 4,4,5 reporting for client and demo'd. [Nav 2013r2].
Made some more changes to initial Nav 2016 configuration following client requests. Go live January 2017.
Another Nav 2016 implementation moving on at a pace as well. Developed Nav 2016 pages for client that they currently use for production planning. To demo as yet.
So this week is client site visit week. Today providing accounting support, tomorrow and Wednesday Nav 2016 training in Birmingham and Thursday on site support for Nav 2013r2.
Hence the short blog update.

As Christmas gets ever closer...but it is not even December yet!!
Another week passes by at FPC.
The week started off with accounting and HR work. Completed a VAT rec for a client's auditors (tracked sales value to output goods, not as easy as it should have been) and an interview for a new FC. Then more Dynamics Nav related work completed on one of a few Nav 2016 implementations we are assisting on. Nav 2016 configuration changed and tested for changes to chart of accounts, dimensions and VAT rates (initial configuration for a test / training company includes a number of countries different VAT rates). Configuration delivered to remote database as a test company for the client staff to test. Client due to deliver training programme for next week by the end of this week. We also set up users on remote database - for Nav 2016 don't forget to start user setup with 'Add me as administrator' otherwise you cannot log back in. Took us a while to recover from this but we did.
Plans for this week: only 1 on site attendance to continue with process mapping and moving onto Dynamics Nav related support. Need to complete some more accounting related work for a client re support required for recent departure of an FC (attending site next week for management accounts work), develop US sales tax report by month by client (actual tax and goods values so 2 reports) and plan Nav 2016 training once requirements confirmed by client.
That's all folks.

So what were we up to last week.
1 of the BACS developments completed last week completely changed from xml to fixed length by field text file. Never mind, onwards and upwards.
Added fixed text to labels for manufacturing.
Attended client site for Nav 2016 implementation. Fixed a visual basic maco issue re importing csv files Access database (so not Nav 2016) and created a brief project plan to confirm a go live date. Key milestone is final chart of accounts.
Providing recruitment expertise for a client so sifting CVs and completing initial interviews.
Completed first level configuration for a Nav 2016 DE implementation and tested and all working. Now client has changed chart of accounts so need to complete the changes and test again
Attended site to complete data feeds mapping between applications.
Plans for this week include more CV reviews and interviewing for 1 client, review of Nav 2016 DE implementation plan against what has been completed to date and check go live and complete more Nav 2016 DE configuration work.
Also looks like we will providing some expertise for another client's Nav 2016 GB implementation in the new year.
