So who noticed the lack of a blog last week? Just me then.
Last week was a week for client visits.1 day on site providing ad hoc support [Nav 2013r2], 1 day continuing with mapping high level end to end business process flows with a view to mapping this flows in detail and then matching to various applications and data flows [Nav 2013r2] and a day on site training for new member of staff [Nav 2016].
In addition completed the following developments: added correspondence address to posted sales invoice report and migrated bespoke code from Nav 2013 to Nav 2016 (yes still required).
Also mapped proposed process flow for different types of sales orders for a service management business and issued for comment and amendment. [Nav2013r2].
So this week chasing up news re approval of quotes sent over the last 2 weeks as well as 2 more on site visits (continuing process mapping, training on Nav 2016).
That's all for this week folks.

Week ending 9/9/16
A lot of pre sales this week so not much chargeable.
Attended site to demo Nav 2016 as well as run provide super user training including Jet install and demo.
Pre sales work included run through requirements for Nav 2016 new implementation and then quote for and an initial meeting in London as to whether we can help with a Nav 2015 stalled implementation. Suggested a different approach and a workshop to get a faster fix in place to negate the need for Excel.
Also received a few enquiries re Nav help including transfer of MS Partner. We are not a Nav partner (too small) but we work with 2 partners so we try and help where we can. Will need to see what this leads to.
Plans for this week include:
Another pre sales meeting today at client site to try and firm up on what they need from Nav 2016 and amend supplied quotes as required.
Attend client site to revise chart of accounts in configuration [Nav 2016] to agreed layout and amend all set up tables. Then start testing transactions.
Attend client site to complete notes from 2 weeks ago and follow up queries. At the moment focusing on high level data flows as these are complex, involve a number of different applications including Nav 2013r2 and look that they have led to fire fighting in the finance department. So this week will be confirming the gaps in my knowledge from the single visit and finish off my notes from 2 weeks ago.
Also pulling together quotes for an existing client re developments required and if approved we will get on with next week.

Week ending 26/8/16
I was on my holidays last week so not a great deal to report but I can list what is happening this week. New client site visit in London this week re Nav review [Nav 2013] - the first of a few on site meetings to complete some analysis on current Nav use etc and report back.
I was meeting up with a potential new client tomorrow in London but no details of the meeting place received so meeting must be off.
Conference call on Friday as a follow up to a quote for Nav 2016 implementation delivered March 2016 which I think the client now wants to start. Will find out Friday.
Next week I am at another new client site (2nd visit) in the South providing super user training including Jet Express tuition [Nav 2016] for 2 days. I will have a follow up Nav 2013 use review meeting next week as well though not yet confirmed these dates.
Also being chased by some existing clients for some on site visits. So all good for a small business.
Last week received 2 enquiries for on site training from London and Malta. Responded last week so will have to wait and see if anything happens.
So all go over the next few weeks. Also need to chase up 2 pieces of development work completed but not delivered as minor queries raised. [Nav v4, Nav 2009 Classic].
