What is the programming
language in Dynamics
NAV?
847-590-3000 | info@solsyst.com | @Solution_System
•C/AL is the programming language in Dynamics NAV.
C/AL stands for Client/Server Application of Language
and it resembles the Pascal language
What kind of permissions
comes with Dynamics
NAV?
847-590-3000 | info@solsyst.com | @Solution_System
•Dynamics NAV comes with object level permissions. You
can setup what objects (tables, reports, pages, etc.) each
user has access to and specifically if the data can be
inserted, modified or deleted.
•If you want to control permissions down to a field level
(e.g. who is allowed to alter what field) then you need to
get an add-on for this (which there are many to choose
from) or develop something yourself (which is easier than
you’d imagine). The same goes with if you want to control
what user is allowed to post onto what G/L account,
location code, item, bin, etc.
How are the users in the
license counted?
847-590-3000 | info@solsyst.com | @Solution_System
•The Dynamics NAV licensed users are concurrent users,
meaning that you can have as many named users as you
want but the license only allows a certain number of them
to be connected at the same time.
Can I undo a purchase
receipt?
847-590-3000 | info@solsyst.com | @Solution_System
•Yes, NAV has an undo receipt function. You can only undo
a receipt if it has not been invoiced yet, once it has been
invoiced you cannot undo it. Neither can you undo a
receipt that has n item charge posted against it.
Is it possible to create a
sales quote without having
a customer?
847-590-3000 | info@solsyst.com | @Solution_System
•Yes, Dynamics NAV allows you to create sales quotes
without first creating a customer. You need a contact
though, and once the quote is converted to an order NAV
can create a customer record based on the contact.
Does Dynamics NAV
handle multi-currency?
847-590-3000 | info@solsyst.com | @Solution_System
•Yes, in fact Dynamics NAV is very strong in its
multicurrency. It is originally Danish software born at a time
where all the countries in Europe had their own currencies,
so it should be pretty good at this.
How do I
activate/deactivate Item
Tracking?
847-590-3000 | info@solsyst.com | @Solution_System
•This is one through the Item Tracking Code field on the
item card. If an item has transactions you cannot change
from an item tracking code with tracking to an item
tracking code that has been setup with different tracking or
no tracking. The workaround is to change NAV so that it
allows you to change this field if all item ledger entries are
closed.
Can an item be deleted?
847-590-3000 | info@solsyst.com | @Solution_System
•Yes, an item can be deleted as long as it is not used
anywhere (like in a journal, sales or purchase document, on
a production order, service contract, etc.). As with
customers and vendors, transactions (item ledger entries
and service ledger entries) can exist but they have to be in
prior fiscal years and completely adjusted and closed.
When deleting an item with transactions the transaction
gets a blank item no. It is not recommended to delete
items with transactions.
Do I need a routing for
production orders?
847-590-3000 | info@solsyst.com | @Solution_System
•No, you can use production orders without routings.
How do I reverse posted
consumption?
847-590-3000 | info@solsyst.com | @Solution_System
•You can reverse a consumption by posting a negative
consumption (e.g. enter a negative number in the quantity
field) through the production or consumption journal.
