Monday, June 01, 2015

“PowerShell ISE” for NAV 2015

“ISE” = “ Integration Scripting Environment”, usabile anche per NAV 2015.

L’ambiente (che si presente in testo e grafica) permette l’utilizzo della tecnologia “ Microsoft intellisense” per la compilazione assistita di comandi e paremetri ( cmdlets); è un’estensione del powershell standard.

Attivazione del modulo “PowerShell ISE”

I comandi per NAV devono essere caricati manualmente importando il file di management presente nella cartella dove risiede il Windows Client (ex RTC Client)

Importazione del Modulo

· Import-Module “C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Dynamics NAV80RoleTailored ClientMicrosoft.Dynamics.Nav.Model.Tools.psd1”

· Ovviamente è possibile importare tutti gli script esistenti per NAV 2015 ed utilizzarli in ambiente ISE

Permessi amministratore\utente

14 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) · Aprire come amministratore il Window PowerShell ISE se serve utilizzare in modo amministrativo

· Altrimenti per altri script basta l’utente windows connesso (es script NAV NON amministrativi)

NAV Comandi (cmdlets)

La finestra è divisa in 2 sezioni (testo ed executiondebug)

Lista dei comandi esistenti – Finestra con lista di tutti i comandi utilizzabili

I comandi sono molteplici (vedere blog MSDN NAV per averne elenco e spiegazione, oppure vederli dalla lista presentata nella finestra Comandi

Ex:

Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 15 Get-Command *NAV*

Get-Help< cmd name>

Get-Help Get-NAVServerInstance

Debug – Possibilità di debug degli script in esecuzione, possibilità di creare script complessi e facilmente testabili (es: test assegnazione variabili, test ricorsione etc.)

Esistono moltissimi comandi (cmdlets)

· Es: comandi utili per la gestione per Utenti, Permessi, Server NAV etc.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows PowerShell Cmdlets

Scrum vs. Traditional Project Management Vision

“Traditional project management emphasizes on conducting detailed upfront planning for the project with emphasis on fixing the scope, cost and schedule – and managing those parameters. Whereas, Scrum encourages data-based, iterative decision making in which the primary focus is on delivering products that satisfy customer requirements.

To deliver the greatest amount of value in the shortest amount of time, Scrum promotes prioritization and Time-boxing over fixing the scope, cost and schedule of a project. An important feature of Scrum is self-organization, which allows the individuals who are actually doing the work to estimate and take ownership of tasks.

Following table summarizes many of the differences between Scrum and traditional

Microsoft Convergence 2015, one of the most important events last month in 2015, where Microsoft Dynamics representatives pushed across the envelope with some of the u pcoming features for the next Dynamics NAV release, code named ‘ Corfu’, by this autumn. He proudly announced the increasing popularity saying “ Year 2007 saw NAV’s

20 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) install base of approx. 60,000, which has gone up to 110,000 and Microsoft’s push to a ‘ mobile-first, cloud-first’ world is likely to increase the appeal of Dynamics NAV.

Dynamics NAV Corfu Update Marko Perisic, Director of Program Management for Dynamics NAV , this NAV ‘Corfu’ release is likely to be cost effective and easy to upgrade if compared to previous NAV upgrades.

He also added that they look at these upgrades like an oil change in your vehicle – while previous 2009 NAV updates were like overhaul, and it was expensive as well. Is the scenario going to remain the same and the answer from him was a very big NO. It’ll be significantly cheaper – he said.

Two of the CORFU enhancements to get the front seat in Perisic’s presentation were enhanced workflow functionality and increased capability to handle paper records via optical character recognition ( OCR) and document scans and images.

Enhanced Workflow Functionality He said they gradually understand the power of data, and have increased their investments in it, which is already there in their existing systems. Workflow is the initial stage in that investment. The advanced workflow understands the data and can proactively provide suggestions; that decrease your workload.

Increased Capability to “handle paper records via Optical Character Recognition (OCR)” and document scans and images

The world is becoming paperless, however; we cannot run away from the fact that there is lot of paper all around. Especially when you are doing business, there’s got to be a lot of paper around. Our efforts are to bring this utility that empowers you to manage that paper – conveniently scan that paper and bring it within the workflow of your ERP solution – added Perisic.

MSF for Agile Software Development 2013

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms400752.aspx

Scrum is a framework for running projects that is based on agile principles and values. It defines a set of activities that can help your team deliver more value to your customers faster. These activities provide your customers with the opportunity to review, guide and influence your team’s work as it progresses. This approach does not attempt to define everything at the start of a project. Instead, your team works in short iterations (also called sprints) and refines the plan as the team makes progress. For information about the agile principles and values on which Scrum is based, see Agile Principles and Values, by Jeff Sutherland .

A simple post about NAV 2015 Tracking Technology, based on MSDN NAV Online Help.

1) TRACKING SESSIONS

NAV 2015 Active Sessions Table

“Active Session”Table

“ Specifies sessions that are currently active and are connected to a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance. An active session can be in use or idle.

This table can contain sessions that are not active, before those are removed from the table. For example, if a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance stops responding, then the table can contain sessions that are not active. When the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance restarts, it deletes from the table the sessions that are not active. If the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance never restarts, then other the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instances delete the sessions that are not active.”

2) TRACKING USERS ACTIVITY & CHANGE LOG

Standard NAV By Design functionalities

Actually NAV has 2 separate tables to track user activities (only NAV activities handled by NAV Server)

> User Time Registers Table > login\logout with user activities timing

“Specifies how much time an individual user works on the accounts.

The User Time Register table is useful for accounting firms that want to register the amount of time spent working on each company. You may also want to see who has worked on the companies in which period.

To use the User Time Register table, two conditions must be fulfilled: the user must be set up with a personal User ID in the security system and there must be a check mark in the Register Time field.

26 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) The program registers time in whole minutes, rounding up or down.”

User Time Registers Table Detail

> Change Log Table > data modifications (insert, delete, modify, previous record before modify)

By Default these tables are not configured & tracking isn’t active, user can activate these functions On-Demand

“The change log in Microsoft Dynamics NAV logs changes that are made to data in the tables that you track. In the change log, entries are chronologically ordered and show changes that are made to the fields on the specified tables.

The change log collects all changes that are made to the table.”

..another very useful post by NAV Team Blog (Jasminka & c.), good for multi server environments.

“Windows PowerShell is very well suited for monitoring services because tasks can be repeated and they can run remotely. In this post we will look at how to check the Application Log via Windows PowerShell, locally as well as remotely, to look for errors or for certain words in the log. The customer story this time is that users report a problem and you need to find the cause. The first place to look (at least in some cases): the Application Log.” ….

Sunday, June 28, 2015 Visualstudio Online: “Kanban basics”

40 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) To maximize a team’s ability to consistently deliver high quality software, Kanban emphasize two main practices. The first, visualize the flow of work, requires you to map your team’s workflow stages and configure your Kanban board to match. The second, constrain the amount of work in progress, requires you to set work-in-progress ( WIP) limits. You’re then ready to track progress on your Kanban board and monitor key metrics to reduce lead or cycle time.

Your Kanban board turns your backlog into an interactive signboard, providing a visual flow of work. As work progresses from idea to completion, you update the items on the board. Each column represents a work stage, and each card represents a user story (blue cards) or a bug (red cards) at that stage of work.

Sample KANBAN Board

User stories and bugs correspond to types of work items . You use work items to share information, assign work to team members, update status, track dependencies, and more.

You open your Kanban board using one of these URLs that connects you to your team project:

Visual Studio Online: http://AccountName/DefaultCollection/TeamProjectName/_backlogs/board/

On-premises Team Foundation Server (TFS):

Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 41 http://ServerName:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/TeamProjectName/_backlogs/board/

If you don’t have a team project yet, create one in Visual Studio Online or set one up in an on-premises TFS . If you don’t have access to the team project, get invited to the team .

Kanban core practices What is Kanban? http://kanbanblog.com/explained/

Having worked through the above four steps, you’re well on your way to implementing most of Kanban’s “ six core practices”.

1. Visualize your workflow. Teams track their work using a Kanban board that maps to how they work. Teams discuss how to best focus their resources to deliver the most important work. 2. Limit work in progress. Teams set and adhere to WIP limits they set for each stage of work. They use WIP limits to maintain focus on completing what they started and to identify bottlenecks occurring in their processes. 3. Manage flow. Teams monitor the overall work in progress and lead time, which gives them an idea of the speed of their delivery. 4. Make policies explicit. Teams spell out the standards and processes they agree to follow and make them readily accessible. For example, by making the team’s Definition of Done for each work stage explicit, they can avoid wasted time and effort. 5. Create opportunities for feedback. Teams meet periodically to reflect on what’s working and what needs improvement. 6. Improve collaboratively, evolve experimentally. Teams determine how to improve the continuous flow of delivery over time based of key metrics. They involve the entire team to gather insights and ideas. And, when persistent bottlenecks arise, they determine the changes that will alleviate them. Over time, Kanban can provide your team insight as to how well their current processes work end-to-end and how to improve them. Incremental adoption of Kanban practices tends to yield greater success and builds on the sixth practice, to evolve experimentally. These practices arose from principles of Lean Manufacturing and Systems Thinking.

Plan and track work,Keep the team focused

A good set of tools will help know which is the status of a given task, how does it contribute to the overarching story or what work has been done until today. Make sure your team checks the tools included on your Visual Studio Online account.

Keep (and honor) your backlog. It wi l help you define the work that needs to be done. Track task completion on the Kanban board, a visualization that helps the team know what’s in progress, who’s doing what, what needs to be done next and what’s been done. Break down the work in sprints. Let the information flow in the team rooms.

Monday, July 06, 2015 Monitoring Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 Server Using “Performance Counters”

Nice page about NAV 2015 performance counters !

“ Performance counters” provide information about how well Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server is operating. By using monitoring tools such as Windows Performance Monitor and System Center Operations Manager, you can use the Microsoft Dynamics NAV performance counters to collect data on Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instances, and then use the data to identify conditions that are affecting performance and make adjustments.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV also provides a Data Collector Set template that you can use to easily create Data CollectorSets that contain all the Microsoft Dynamics NAV performance counters.

Source MDSN https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn414713(v=nav.80).aspx

How to: Set up Performance Counters in Windows Performance Monitor

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn271687(v=nav.80).aspx

Working with “Data Collector” Sets

“A Data Collector Set organizes data collection points, such as performance counters and event trace data, into a single collection. Data Collector Sets enable you to schedule data collection, so that you can analyze the results and view reports later. Data that is collected for performance counters by a Data Collector Set is stored in log files, which you can open and view in Windows Performance Monitor. You can create your own Data Collection Set or you can use the Data Collection Set template that is included with Microsoft Dynamics NAV”

52 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Powershell Script to create a “Self-Signed Certificate” that works ...

Wednesday, July 15, 2015 Powershell Script to create a “Self-Signed Certificate” that works on Dynamics NAV Ipad APP

PURPOSE

Automatedscripts (with Powershell) to create aself-signed certificate usable for Dynamics NAV App on Ipad (if you haven’t a Real Commercial Verified Certificate)

This “ Powershellautomation Script” is based on manual procedure existing in this post “How to get Microsoft Dynamics NAV for tablets to connect using a self-signed certificate” by NAV Team Blog and also based on some scripts by Duilio Tacconi of Microsoft Support Emea. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/nav/archive/2014/10/09/how-to-get-microsoft- dynamics-nav-for-tablets-to-connect-using-a-self-signed-certificate.aspx

STEP1:REQUIREMENTSFOR USE PRE-USE CERTIFICATE “SELF-SIGNED” – Best Practice Microsoft suggest to use a valid certificate (ex: Purchased from Verisign) – Suggested (but not mandatory) is to install at least the cumulative NAV Update 8 2015 (CU8), it needs to use better management of self-signed certificate (unofficial, not from Vendor).

STEP2:ELIMINATIONOF CERTIIFICATES NOT ALREADY WORKING AND IMPORTED ON IPAD

• First, if you have already created certificates for use with App and these don’t work, remove them all using the console:

Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 53 STEP3:PROCEDURE FORCREATING A NEW SELF-SIGNED CERTIFICATE – This procedure must be used after the installation of Navision Server. CREATION(BUILD) OF NEW CERTIFICATE – This procedure creates / uses a new self-signed certificate – Unzip the file with everything you need ( KIT PRE-EXISTING available to Deploy NAV on AZURE), put in the default example “C:\Certificates\Initialize\Initialize\”

Initialize Standard.ZIP File

This file has been modified to the case: “ Self-Signed Certificate tested on iPad App” (was commented on what is not needed in our test case environment and changed the parameters) Open the file with PowershellISE as administrator ( Run as administrator) and check the settings and make changes if necessary.

SCRIPT:InstallCert.ps1 ,SCRIPT : “ Certificate.Ps1”

Download Powershell Scripts Form here: POWERSHELL FILES CERTIFICATE or from my GITHUB Branch “Self-Signed-Certificate”

“POWERSHELL ISE” SAMPLES SCREENS

STEP4: Running thefile “InstallCert.ps1”

• From line to line with F8 (debug) in powershell ISE so if there are errors you can understand and correct, or run the entire script with F5 if you are unsure. STEP 5:INPUT PARAMETERSTwo parameters are requested:

• The first (Default Login)

-The second: (NAV Server: press enter taking one proposed)

The scriptstops and restarts the services, once finished, takethe certificate and send it on iPad (example à send to email) STEP6:INSTALLATIONCERTIFICATE ON IPAD -Click on the file in the mail and followthe installation procedure on Ipad. STEP7:LAUNCHDYNAMICS NAV APP -Finished open “Dynamics NAV App” and enter the address

“To Run” Dynamics NAV Ipad App

• Download Ipad App : Dynamics NAV from App Store

Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 55

  • Install Certificate on Ipad (Double Click on .CER File)

    Thursday, July 16, 2015 NAV Services & Sessions: Counting, Killing, Timeout

    Understanding and Configuring Session Timeout

    “When you start the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client or the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client, a connection is established with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance, and a corresponding session is added on Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server. Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server includes several timeout settings that determine when a session closes because of inactivity, a lost connection, or the client closes.

    SELECT * FROM sys . all_objects WHERE type_desc like ‘VIEW’ or type_desc like ‘USER_TABLE’ ORDER BY modify_date DESC

    You have a pattern that you have used successfully? You have ideas on new patterns? You’ve found some existing design patterns which are used in the product but nobody (except a few) knows how it works, but you find it worth it to explain it for the NAV C/AL

    66 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) developers out there?

    Send your pattern idea to Bogdana Botez as a private message on the community webpage. Once your first pattern is ready, we will review it as a team, and when signed off, you get author permissions on the Wiki site and from then on, you can continue publishing and editing existing patterns. However, only publish on the Wiki materials that we had signed-off (we don’t have moderation capabilities yet, so we count on each author to only make meaningful/agreed changes).

    You and your company also get credit by being mentioned on the pattern and also on our patterns authors page.

    Once you have the idea, writing it down shouldn’t take long. You will be helped by adopting the template that we’ve used.

    Remember the rules

    When handling design patterns, content quality is critical. We are trying our best to only publish content that is correct, relevant and has been reviewed by multiple developers. Therefore, we review and sign-off all patterns before publishing them (except for the videos made prior to 2015). All text content found on this Wiki and on the NAV Team Blog has been through one, usually multiple iterations of review. If you find something to correct, please comment on the pattern or contact Bogdana Botez , and we will review and update it.

    We are working on creating a set of rules, which would help keeping the content clean and the project on the correct track. Find the rules here . https://community.dynamics.com/nav/w/designpatterns/106.get-involved

    Great. Testing Best Practices

    Friday, August 07, 2015 KSD Consultancy

    There is always trade-off between Quality & Quantity of deliverables.

    Sometimes small Partners don’t want to invest on resources and time for their deliverables to make big profits.

    Sometimes customers are not interested in paying more for their customizations requested, their after they keep investing on recursive fixes for their solutions.

    Sometime requirement is not well aligned with Business Logic and the process keeps refining over the time.

    Which leads to arguments on Product capability and Partner Quality of work.

    Whatsoever may be the reason but before any piece of code is moved to the Production environment should be well tested and accepted by the clients/customers.

    Microsoft recommends the following best practices for designing your application tests:

    • Test code should be kept separate from the code that is being tested. That way, you can release the tested code to a production environment without releasing the test

    Thursday, September 10, 2015

    SCENARIO

    If you have some old NAV releases and you want to copy data fast from db\company to another db\company (and you don’t want to use Dataport\XMLPort to map each fields ore use Rapid Start Services), you can use SQL “INSERT INTO” statements to transfer data.

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 79 TIMESTAMP FIELD ISSUE

    You can’t use a “FULL SQL INSERT INTO * from table to table” statement because we have TIMESTAMP field ISSUE (look at Dynamics Community…more posts about this….) that can’t be copied to Destination Table

    MANUALLY SCRIPTING OBJECTS

    If you can do manually exporting all (or single table) with SQL Script Object generator but I think that my solution can be useful and FAST.

    HOW SYSTEM WORKS

    System extract and pass fields like dynamics parameters to INSERT INTO Statement (es: company, db, fields); system build final INSERT INTO STATEMENT that will be execute and store script that will be execute on custom Table.

    ASSUMPTIONS

    • NB1: TIMESTAMP field in NOT passed, is written automatically by Stored Procedure execution • NB2: “ NO data validation and NAV logic is executing”, only SQL datatype fields mapping is checked • NB3: if you have more fields on Target Database than in Source Database (with “ NOT NULL” restrictions on fields), will be necessary to MAP adjuntives fields on final SQL INSERT STATAMENTS passing 0 or ‘’ (BLANK) values for new fields. OPERATIONAL STEPS

    1) Create Stored Procedure “ CopyTable”

    2) Create e new table “ Tables Migration Config”

    3) Execute Stored Procedure “CopyTable” that write in field “ Exec Script” > After copy and past on Excel on direct SQLQuery window to execute text existing on Exec Script field

    Great post by Greg Larsen. NAV 2015 Order Planning vs Production forecast

    Tuesday, September 29, 2015 NAV 2015 Order Planning vs Production forecast

    Is Dynamics NAV order planning function consider production forecast figures when plan ? …

    “No, By Design.”

    …good question posted on Dynamics Community Forum “In order planning you can plan based on actual demands that are Production demand, Sales demand, Service demand, Job demand & Assembly demand. As the name of the page says “Order planning” is does not include production forecast.

    Whereas you have an option to include production plan if you want to include it in material planning.

    One more difference between order planning and planning w/s is that order planning suggests planning for one level (low level code) only, of more then one low levels are involved then you will need to re run the order planning and plan for next low level code. Whereas planning w/s considers all low levels associated to create an item.”

    “To support your department-specific tasks, you can use a variety of general business functionality, such as Workflow and Office Integration, which is available across two or more departments”

    About Workflow:

    Set up and use workflows that connect tasks performed by different users or by the

    94 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) system, such as automatic posting. Requesting and granting approval to create or post documents are typical workflow steps. Workflow

    SourceBusiness Functionality https://msdn.microsoft.com/en- us/library/hh879076(v=nav.90).aspx

    Workflow “How-To” (Microsoft Definition)

    In the Workflow window, you create a workflow by listing the involved steps on the lines. Each step consists of a workflow event, moderated by event conditions, and a workflow response, moderated by response options. You define workflow steps by filling fields on workflow lines from fixed lists of event and response values representing scenarios that are supported by the application code.

    The generic version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV includes a number of preconfigured workflows, listed in the Workflow Templates window, that you can copy to create workflows. The codes for workflow templates that are added by Microsoft are prefixed with “MS-“.

    If a business scenario requires a workflow event or response that is not supported, a Microsoft partner must implement them by customizing the application code.

    Note The Document Approvals feature that existed in the previous version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is removed. The standard approvals scenarios that were supported in the previous version are now supported as workflows for sales approvals and purchase approvals respectively. The upgrade tool will recreate document approval data in previous versions as workflow data in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016.

    96 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) … IS NOT A GUIDE !!! … only some tests about this GREAT feature !

    Some Workflow definitions directly from “ Microsoft”:

    WORKFLOW SCOPE\PURPOSE

    • “…. Workflow enable you to model real-life business processes • Workflow is defined as the movement of documents or task through a work process • Adopting workflow as a developer requires a move from functional code to “ When- Then” thinking …. ” MY SIMPLE AND LIMITED NAV 2016 WORKFLOW & NOTIFICATION SCHEMA MENTAL FLOW

    WORKFLOW “TOPICS”

    • Topics are: Workflow Templates & Designer, Workflow Model & Architecture, Approval & Notification Model, Workflow User Group Events, Responses, Workflows & Templates

    Event & Response

    • Event : a NAV event subscription or action , implemented in C/AL and registered in Workflow library • Response : implementation in C/AL of a response Workflow:

    • Workflow: a collection of one or more events/response pairs , designed and managed through the Workflow Designer • Workflow Template: A mechanism to deliver workflow processes to a NAV System Event:IS NOT a workflow (is an event of Workflow…)

    • Workflow offer a higher degree of configurability and are managed by workflow designer • Event is not multi steps operation Workflow Response Model

    • When Event • On Condition • Then Response (Multi-line events responses) WORKFLOW TEMPLATES

    • Workflow template is a “ Worflow ready to use” with some different steps

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 97 • You can Copy from an existing workflow to build a new one • You can define also new workflow elements (subscribers & responses objects)

    Example of Simple Workflow

    • MS-POAPW à Purchase Order Approval Workflow • This Workflow is composed by some Steps ( Event, Condition, Response ) SIMPLE WORKFLOW – ITALY screen

    For Each single workflow,you can define:

    Events

    • Master or indented event (with level) Condition

    • Set of simple\complex condition • Define an “Entry point” Responses

    • You can define a single or multi- lines response events for each one-event Worflow line. Sample of Response Definition W1 Screen

    98 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Workflow Responses List

    • You can see all existing response events from this list ITA Screen

    Target Page & Custom Link

    • Is possible to define different options for Workflow Responses; for example is possibile to choose a page or hyperlink instead of standard execution. Edit Response W1 Screen

    COPY FROM EXISTING TEMPLATE

    • You can create a new workflow copying from an existing and “ready to go” workflow

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 99 NEW WORKFLOW FROM MODEL

    EXAMPLE OF NEW WORKFLOW: POST_PO (Post Purchase Order)

    “When there is a need to use .NET classes within C/AL, one of the main challenges is to handle the exceptions the methods of these .NET classes may throw. Eventually, if not handled, they will basically bubble up as runtime errors, halting the current operation a user is doing without having a chance to properly display errors in a user-friendly format”

    Tuesday, October 27, 2015 Publish, Raise and Subscribe

    Something about NAV Events (Integration & Business Events)…. Some Definitions of: “Publishers & Subscribers”

    “A publisher” exposes hook-points in code or processes that other partners or sub- systems can leverage. ISVs and Microsoft are the typical providers of published events, but not necessarily the only providers. Ev ents are raised through explicit function calls, or raised implicitlyby the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Runtime.

    “A subscriber” subscribes to and handles events.When an event is raised, the subscription code is automatically called by the runtime. This enables partners to hook into core Microsoft Dynamics NAV functionality without having to do‘classic’ code modification. Any Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution provider, including Microsoft, can use event subscriptions.

    Example new codeunit “80000 My Publisher”

    “Publisher” Event

    > Codeunit 80000 Function [Integration Event] OnItemCodeRenamed(parItem:Code20)

    “Subscribe” Event

    > Codeunit 80000 Functions ErrorItemRenaming(“No.”)

    • EventPublishedObject “Codeunit My Publishers”

    Monday, November 16, 2015 NAV 2016 Word Layout “HOW-TO”

    Word Layout (WRL) è un tool di NAV per la stampa dei documentiin formato Word, è stato inserito a partire dalla versione 2015 di NAV.

    Si parte da un report di tipo RDLC già esistente oppure da un nuovo report; nel caso di nuovo report i campi devono essere dichiarati sotto il DataItem.

    NB: “Il report deve essere compilato”

    – L’attivazione avviene richiamando una lista denominata “ Selezione Layout Report” che contiene l’elenco di tutti i report dell’applicativo (mapping report type)

    Il campo “ Layout selezionato” viene impostato inizialmente in “ RDLC” e va modificato a seconda delle esigenze richieste.

    Esistono altre due opzioni oltre a quella di default (RDLC): “Layout personalizzato” e Word.

    – La prima opzione permette di creare o modificare il modello direttamente da NAV

    – La seconda (Word) importa il modello senza la possibilità di effettuare modifiche all’interno.

    Una volta effettuato la scelta è possibile passare alla visualizzazione del layout.

    (Cambiamo il tipo da DRLC a Layout personalizzato)

    Una volta impostato il corretto tipo di layout si procedere alla personalizzazione del modello premendo l’apposito bottone “ Layout Personalizzati” posto nella barra multifunzione nella parte superiore della pagina.

    126 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) In questa sessione è possibile importare un layout di Word preesistente(*.docx) scaricando ad esempio un modello da Internet, oppure crearne uno nuovo. Es: Creiamo un “nuovo Layout”

    Selezioniamo un nuovo documento con il tipo layout = Word.

    Una volta creato possiamo passare alla fase di costruzione del nuovo layout.

    – Esempio Nuovo documento word vuoto

    In particolare, nell’etichetta “ Sviluppo” c’è un apposito bottone che permette di evidenziare i campi del DataItem.

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 127 In questo caso selezioniamo l’opzione con il nome del DataItem principale.

    I campi dei DataItem solo gli stessi elencati nel programma sorgente e conservano la stessa struttura.

    Proviamo ora a caricare un layout preparato in precedenza:

    128 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Inseriamo un campo di tipo “Immagine” con il logo dell’azienda prendendo il dato dal campo “ Picture” della tabella “ Company Information”.

    Premendo il tasto destro del mouse viene proposto un menù con alcune opzioni.

    Nel nostro caso si potrà scegliere tra Immagine, Testo Normale e Formato RTF

    “ Testo Normale” viene usata per tutti i campi e le variabili di tipo testo o formattate.

    “ Formato RTF” viene utilizzato per campi o variabili di tipo “ Decimal” in modo da poter utilizzare la formattazione standard NAV per quanto riguarda i campi delle tabelle mentre, nel caso di variabili, usando delle apposite funzioni…

    Selezionare l’opzione “ Immagine” e poi “ Inserisci controllo contenuto”.

    Dopo aver inserito i campi della testata passiamo alla gestione delle righe.

    In questo caso occorre dire al sistema che deve gestire un ciclo.

    Posizioniamo il puntatore e selezioniamo tutta la riga dove inseriremo i dati e utilizziamo l’opzione “Ripetuto”. In questo modo viene indicato al sistema che la riga selezionata verrà ripetuta per tutto il contenuto del DataItem.

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 129 Word Layout dà la possibilità di creare cicli nidificati.

    Per fare questo occorre creare il primo nodo ….

    E poi quelli contenuti all’interno.

    In questo modo per ogni riga stampata per il DataItem padre verranno stampate una o più righe del sottoinsieme. Naturalmente il tutto dovrà essere fatto rispettando la struttura originale del Report sorgente.

    130 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Inseriamo ora gli altri campi:

    E terminiamo la progettazione del layout.

    In qualsiasi momento è possibile effettuar una stampa di prova selezionando il bottone “Esegui Report”:

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 131 Gestione del piè di pagina finale (FOOTER)

    Word Report Layout non ha una gestione del piè di pagina con funzioni specifiche. La soluzione utilizzata per ovviare a questa mancanza potrebbe essere quella di utilizz are una casella di testo posta in fondo alla pagina con all’interno la struttura e i dati che verranno inseriti solo sull’ultima pagina (vedi esempio).

    Costanti in lingua:

    Non esiste una vera e propria gestione delle costanti in lingua ma è possibile utilizzare delle costanti a programma configurate con le apposite traduzioni oppure utilizzando direttamente le Caption dei campi delle tabelle (es: FIELDCAPTION (nome campo)).

    CASE HISTORY: Inserire nel layout alcune parti condizionati da una scelta iniziale.

    – L’esempio utilizzato è una conferma d’ordine dove, al momento dell’esecuzione può essere scelta la possibilità di stampare o meno il castelletto dell’IVA.

    132 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Con NAV 2009 Classic o versioni precedenti si poteva usare l’opzione “ CurrReport.showoutput” impostata a False o True a seconda, mentre per i report RDLC si può usare una variabile e condizionare la sessione “Visibility”.

    Per quanto riguarda i dati è abbastanza semplice perché basta fare in modo che il programma trovi il DataItem vuoto ma il problema solo le costanti di testata e le varie cornici che vengono stampate comunque.

    Io ho risolto inserendo due DataItem (VATTestata e VATPiede) prima e dopo VATAmountLine utilizzando variabili e costanti del codice sorgente.

    image066 image067

    Per evitare che vengano stampati i dati di testata e piede ho inserito il codice “IF NOT InfoIVA THEN CurrReport.SKIP;” nel DataItem VATTestata e VATPiede.

    Nella parte di progettazione layout ho inserito un ciclo per la testate e uno per il piede ma siccome la variabile “Number” del DataItem di tipo integer è impostata a 1, anche in caso si volesse stampare il castelletto dell’Iva la testata ed il piede vengono ripetuti una volta sola.

    Source: Videos NAV 2016 About NAV 2016 Limited Users

    Wednesday, December 02, 2015 “Limited Users” get restricted access to the ERP Solution to complete only the following tasks:

    • “ Read” access to any data contained in the ERP solution and • “ Write” access to a maximum of 3 table objects with the following exceptions: Limited users are not authorized to write directly or indirectly to the following tables: General Ledger Entry (table number 17), Permission Set (table number 2000000004), Permission (table number 2000000005) or Access Control (table number 2000000053); and • Tables described in Appendix:” Limited User Included Tables” do not count towards the 3 table objects. Writing the transactions of a Limited User to a temporary table then having a Full User (or a system process) post those transactions to table 17 is an example of indirect write access to table 17, which is not permitted. Transations created by a Limited User are not considered indirect write access if (i) they are needed by a Full User as in an input to perform their job function and (ii) transactions are processed individually (not in a batch) “The Limited User” Included Tables should allow you to perform the following tasks:

    Sales

    • Create a Customer with relevant contact details, based on a template or from scratch. • Create an Opportunity for an existing Campaign, and relate it to Sales Quotes or Orders. Quotes:

    • Create a Sales Quote for an existing or a new Customer. • Send a Sales Quote by email, send it for approval, or convert it to a Sales Order. Orders:

    • Create a Sales Order for an existing or a new Customer. • Send a Sales Order for approval. Purchase

    • Create a Vendor with relevant contact details, based on a template or from scratch. • Create a Purchase Order for an existing or a new Vendor. • Send a Purchase Order for approval. Other Tasks

    • Use the charts on two role centers: Order Processor (for Sales scenarios) and Purchasing Agent (for Purchase scenarios). However, if your specific deployment requires more than 3 tables not part of the Included range in order to fulfill these tasks, a Full User will be required.

    Any access beyond these limitations requires Full User access.

    When assig ning security rights to users, the system administrator will designate them as Full Users or Limited Users.

    Software License Terms for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 and Microsoft Dynamics C5 2016 https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn892088(v=nav.90).aspx

    TYPES OF USER LICENSES. Except as otherwise specified, the types of user licenses for the software are as follows:

    1. Access Licenses (CALs and SALs). In addition to the server software license, you must acquire and assign an Access License to each user that accesses the ERP solution directly or indirectly. You need an Access License for each user that directly or indirectly accesses the ERP solution through a third party application. Access Licenses are specific to an ERP solution and may not be used with or shared among different ERP solutions. Types of CALs. There are two types of CALs: Full CALs and Limited CALs. A “Full CAL” is a license that entitles a user to perform the tasks of a Full User. 2. A “Limited CAL” is a license that entitles a user to perform only the tasks of a Limited User. You may license up to 4 Limited CALs per Full CAL. 1. A “Standard SAL” is a base SAL license that entitles a user to perform Full User tasks across the ERP Solution using all of the functionality included in the Starter Pack, as described in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015/2016 Licensing Guide located at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=509810 . 2. An “Extended Use Additive SAL” is a license, additive to the Standard SAL, which entitles a user to perform Full User tasks using the functionality included in the Extended Pack, as described in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015/2016 Licensing Guide. 3. A “Limited SAL” is a license that entitles a user to perform only the tasks of a Limited User. 1. “Concurrent CALs” are licenses that allow any user to access the ERP solution. The number of concurrent CALs licensed refers to the maximum number of users that may access the ERP solution simultaneously. You may select the Full CAL or Limited CAL as concurrent CAL types. Concurrent CALs can only be licensed under the Perpetual License Model. 2. “User SALs” are licenses that are specific to each user and may not be shared with other users. You may select the Standard SAL, the Extended Use Additive SAL, or the Limited SAL as user SAL types. If you select the Extended Use Additive SAL, You must license Extended Use Additive SALs for all Standard SALs. The Limited

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 139 SAL grants access to the same set of functionalities that are available to users performing Full User tasks, subject to the restrictions listed in the Limited User definition. Microsoft grants you, at no charge, two SALs of the same type used by your Full Users: one specifically for an External Accountant User, and one specifically for a System Administrator User. You may permanently reassign your user SAL from one user to another. You may temporarily reassign your user SAL to a temporary user while the permanent user is absent. The External Accountant User and the System Administrator User cannot be used for any other purposes. User SALs can only be licensed under the Subscription License Model. 3. “External Users” You do not need Access Licenses for external users. External users must be designated in the user table for the software, and cannot use any clients provided by the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Application Programming Interface (API), such as the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 Windows client, or the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 Web client. External User licenses must not be used for business process outsourcing purposes. For additional information about the types of user licenses and the license restrictions regarding user licenses, see the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015/2016 Licensing Guide located at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=509810 Why do Dynamics NAV users need visual scheduling?

    Thursday, December 10, 2015 “NAV Universal APP” on different devices

    “When we talk about Universal APP then we mean that it works on different devices but behaviors are different depending on what device, what OS and etc.”

    If we run universal app on windows computerwith keyboard attached, then it will show web client interface where is print preview available and from preview direct printing too.

    If we run universal app on computer without keyboard (tablet mode), then preview is not available and direct print to, then only saves as pdf and print using available viewer and printer; the same is if used other OS or devices and NOT Windows.”

    Differences and Limitations When Developing Pages for the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Universal App Developing for the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Tablet client and Microsoft Dynamics NAV Phone client is not much different from developing for the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client, or Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client. There are, however, some natural limitations on tablets and phones, such as not having a physical keyboard and mouse, as well as a smaller screen. In addition to this, there are some differences and limitations in developing pages for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Tablet client and Microsoft Dynamics NAV Phone client. The differences and limitations listed are additional to the differences and limitations that exist on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client and Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client.

    Differences and Limitations Overview The following table describes some of the most common differences and limitations that you might experience when developing for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Tablet client and Microsoft Dynamics NAV Phone client.

    ConceptOn TabletOn PhoneExampleRecommendationActivity buttons Only the Home activity button is shown. Only the Home activity button is shown. Home, Departments, and Posted Documents on the Sales Order Processor Role Center. Design pages to expose the workflows needed by the user. For example, configure the profile to show the important list pages under the Home activity button. Alternatively, consider designing a new Role Center if the activities for the activity button greatly vary from activities in other

    142 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) activity buttons. Selecting multiple records in lists Not available. Not available. Ctrl+A or Ctrl+Click on rows in a list using Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client. Avoid scenarios requiring selecting multiple rows on a list. Also, try to minimize actions on lists. Ribbon actions Only Promoted actions are shown. Only Promoted actions are shown. On the Small Business Role Center. Use the development environment to promote actions. Alternatively, configure the profile and add actions to the Home ribbon tab. FactBoxes Not shown on List pages or Worksheet pages. Not shown on List pages or Worksheet pages. Customer list on the Small Business Role Center. Make sure the same information is visible on the corresponding card page of the given record. Advanced filters No column-specific filtering is available. No column-specific filtering is available. On the Customer list page. Send data to Excel and do the complex filtering there. Page search Not available. Not available. On Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client or Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client. Design pages to expose the workflows needed by the user. For example via list places, tiles or actions. Cue and action tiles The number of tiles that are shown is based on the size of the screen, no possibility to scroll. The number of tiles on the phone is in theory unlimited because you can scroll. On most Role Center pages. Design Role Center pages to avoid having important tiles at the area end. Assume you have no control over how many tiles are displayed and consider that only the first few tiles will be made visible on the tablet. Fields in fast tabs Fields in fast tabs on list pages are not shown. Only the repeater control is shown in the content area of the page. Not available. Design List pages to avoid having important columns on the far right of the column list. Assume you have no control over how many columns are displayed and consider that only the first few columns will be made visible. Links and Notes Not available. Not available. On Sales Orders. Similar to Factboxes, make sure the same information in the field group is visible on the corresponding card page of the given record. Select from full list Not available on lookups. Users are not able to run actions on a lookup page, and they cannot access the full set of records. Not available on lookups. Users are not able to run actions on a lookup page, and they cannot access the full set of records. On the Item Card when selecting the Base Units of Measure. Make sure the appropriate columns are visible on the lookup. The user is still able to filter, scroll, and search through the lookup. Search across list columns Partly supported. Search will not include FlowFields. Partly supported. Search will not include FlowFields. On the Customer list page. Report Viewer and CurrReport.PREVIEW There is no Preview functionality available on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Tablet client. CurrReport.PREVIEW cannot be reliably used to identify whether a report was run as a draft or as a final printed document. There is no Preview functionality available on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Phone client. CurrReport.PREVIEW cannot be reliably used to identify whether a report was run as a draft or as a final printed document. See example in report 280. Lookups Available. Available, with the difference that advanced and simple lookups behave similarly on the phone. The lookup will not bring up the card, show factboxes, or any field groups. See examples on the Customer Card page. Matrix controls Not available. Not available. See example in G/L Budget. File download Available. Cannot download multiple files at the same time. Available. Cannot download multiple files at the same time. Trial Balance report in the Print to Excel check box. Worksheet pages Available. Not available; an error message is displayed. Sales Price Worksheet or Cash Flow Worksheet. Run this type of page from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client, Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client, or Microsoft Dynamics NAV Tablet client. Lists Available. Available, with the difference that these are displayed in a brick layout with a number of differences and limitations. For an overview, see How to: Display Data as Bricks on Phone. Customers or Sales Orders pages. Indentation in repeater controls Available. Not available. The repeater control will be rendered as a regular flat brick layout. Chart of Accounts and Contacts List pages. Scope of actions

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 143 Available. Available, but there are some behavioral differences regarding the Scope Property. Also, see Defining Action Scope for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Pages. Use of camera and location Available in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Universal App on devices with a camera and GPS capabilities.

    …you are welcome ! Description of the Number of Databases You Are Allowed to Run with ...

    Tuesday, January 05, 2016 Scenario:NAV with test & production environments … using customer license in more databases. …many questions about this topic in Microsoft Dynamics Community. look at this post: https://community.dynamics.com/nav/f/34/t/186285

    “Correct Answer” by Microsoft

    “ Each Microsoft Dynamics NAV production database requires a separate Microsoft Dynamics NAV license file.”

    With one Microsoft Dynamics NAV license, you are allowed to run one Microsoft Dynamics NAV database. If you have multiple Microsoft Dynamics NAV production databases, you must purchase a Microsoft Dynamics NAV license for each database.

    You are allowed to use a Microsoft Dynamics NAV license on copies of your Microsoft Dynamics NAV production database as long as the copies of the database are used for:

    • Backup

    • Storage of historical data

    • Testing

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 149 • Internal use only development

    The databases must not be used in production.

    Directly from public Microsoft CustomerSource section: Description of the Number of Databases You Are Allowed to Run with a Microsoft Dynamics NAV License – Microsoft Dynamics CustomerSource Some SQL date calculation scripts for NAV Linked Tables

    Saturday, January 09, 2016 Some SQL date calculation scripts for NAV Linked Tables

    Dato che alcuni utilizzano le viste SQL come tabelle collegate in NAV, riporto alcuni script SQL relativi all’utilizzo delle date; inserendo un campo virtuale in una vista SQL e richiamando una “function” esistente o personalizzata nel campo (es: la uf_DaysDifference sotto indicata) è possibile creare delle viste SQL molto utili da utilizzare in NAV.

    esempio di alcune viste da me utilizzate in cruscotti di avanzamento – Avanzamento Ordini Vendita\Acquisto\Commesse\Timesheets – Avanzamento Fasi di Produzione – Avanzamento Shop Floor etc..

    SQL Date Scripts

    Calcolare l’ultimo giorno di un mese

    DECLARE @oggi DATETIME SET @oggi = GETDATE()

    SELECT CONVERT(varchar, DATEADD ( dd , -1 , CONVERT (VARCHAR(6), DATEADD( mm , 1 , @oggi ) , 112 ) + ’01’ ) ,103)

    Se @oggi = 09/01/2016 La select ritorna = 31/01/2016

    Details: — Aggiungo 1 mese alla data odierna:

    150 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) SELECT DATEADD( mm , 1 , getdate())

    — Visualizzo la data senza il giorno: SELECT CONVERT (VARCHAR(6), DATEADD( mm , 1 , getdate()) , 112 )

    — Imposto il primo giorno del mese: SELECT CONVERT (VARCHAR(6), DATEADD( mm , 1 , getdate()) , 112 ) + ’01’

    — Tolgo 1 giorno dalla data ottenuta: SELECT DATEADD ( dd , -1 , CONVERT (VARCHAR(6), DATEADD( mm , 1 , getdate()) , 112 ) + ’01’ )

    — Formatto il risultato in italiano (gg/mm/aaaa): SELECT CONVERT(varchar, DATEADD ( dd , -1 , CONVERT (VARCHAR(6), DATEADD( mm , 1 , getdate()) , 112 ) + ’01’ ) ,103)

    Calcolare il numero giorni di un mese declare @data datetime set @data = getdate() select day(dateadd(month,1,@data)-(day(@data)-1)-1) as NumGiorniMese

    — Trovo la data da elaborare aumentata di un mese: select dateadd(month,1,@data) — Imposto la nuova data con giorno = 1: select dateadd(month,1,@data)-(day(@data)-1) — Tolgo un giorno alla data: select dateadd(month,1,@data)-(day(@data)-1)-1 — Leggo il numero di giorni: select day(dateadd(month,1,@data)-(day(@data)-1)-1)

    Calcolare differenza giorni

    /* Differenza in giorni */ CREATE FUNCTION uf_DaysDifference (@dataIniziale DATETIME, @dataFinale DATETIME) RETURNS INT AS BEGIN RETURN ( SELECT CASE WHEN DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, @dataIniziale, @dataFinale), @dataIniziale) > @dataFinale THEN DATEDIFF(DAY, @dataIniziale, @dataFinale) – 1 ELSE DATEDIFF(DAY, @dataIniziale, @dataFinale) END ) END GO

    /* Ad esempio: */

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 151 select dbo.uf_DaysDifference(‘20160109′,’20160114’) as NumGiorni select dbo.uf_DaysDifference(‘20060109’,getdate()) as NumGiorni select dbo.uf_DaysDifference(‘20060109’,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) as NumGiorni

    IsZero Funzione che converte 0 in altro numero, utile in viste o stored procedures.

    NAV 2015 TRACKING SESSIONS, USERS ACTIVITY, CHANGE LOG

    A simple post about NAV 2015 Tracking Technology, based on MSDN NAV Online Help.

    1) TRACKING SESSIONS

    NAV 2015 Active Sessions Table

    “Active Session”Table

    “ Specifies sessions that are currently active and are connected to a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance. An active session can be in use or idle.

    This table can contain sessions that are not active, before those are removed from the table. For example, if a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance stops responding, then the table can contain sessions that are not active. When the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance restarts, it deletes from the table the sessions that are not active. If the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance never restarts, then other the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instances delete the sessions that are not active.”

    ..you are welcome ! RUNREQUESTPAGE, EXECUTE, PRINT, SAVEAS in NAV

    Monday, February 01, 2016 …nice reporting functions are available from NAV 2015: EX: RUNREQUESTPAGE, EXECUTE, PRINT, SAVEAS

    MY BEST FUCTION IS: “RUNREQUESTPAGE” -> “ This function lets you run a request page for a report, without actually running the report. When the user clicks OK, the function simply returns a text value, which is an XML document describing the user’s selection and filters of the request page.”; you can use this function also to schedule a report on Job Queue (OnDemand report schedule)

    ex: areports launcher page, scope of this page is run selected reports and generate PDF files after reports printing (or after preview mode report printing)

    158 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) The system use fiunction REPORT.RUNREQUESTPAGE to read and retrieve reports parameters

    RUNREQUESTPAGE

    XmlParameters:= REPORT.RUNREQUESTPAGE(intIDReport);

    … after you get the following XML document as a result:

    EXECUTE

    Now is time to run report with EXECUTE function. This function runs a report without showing a request page. It receives the parameters as an argument of type text, and you can feed the results of the RUNREQUESTPAGE to it. If the report you are executing is a processing-only report, then it will simply silently execute . If it’s a printable report, then it runs in the preview mode.

    SAVEAS

    SAVEAS function: “It does the same as SAVEASXML, SAVEASPDF, SAVEASEXCEL, and SAVEASWORD, only it does it without showing the request page”.

    SOME EXAMPLES:

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 159 REPORT.RUNREQUESTPAGE

    XmlParameters:= REPORT.RUNREQUESTPAGE(intIDReport);

    // Use the REPORT.SAVEAS function to save the report as a PDF file

    REPORT.SAVEAS (intIDReport,XmlParameters, REPORTFORMAT::Pdf,OStream);

    // Use the REPORT.EXECUTE function to preview the report

    REPORT.EXECUTE (intIDReport,XmlParameters);

    // Use the REPORT.Print function to print the report

    REPORT.PRINT (intIDReport,XmlParameters);

    DEMO FUNCTION: “ SaveReportPDF”

    SaveReportPDF (intIDReport : Integer;txtNomeFile : Text;blnPreview : Boolean;blnPrint : Boolean;blnSavePDF : Boolean;txtPath : Text)

    //DEMO .sn

    // Use the REPORT.RUNREQUESTPAGE function to run the request page to get report parameters

    CLEAR(XmlParameters);

    XmlParameters := REPORT.RUNREQUESTPAGE(intIDReport);

    CurrentUser := USERID;

    // Use the REPORT.SAVEAS function to save the report as a PDF file

    IF blnSavePDF THEN

    BEGIN

    Content.CREATE(txtPath + txtNomeFile+DELCHR(FORMAT(CURRENTDATETIME,0,'-- ..’),’=’,’-:/. ‘)+’.pdf’);

    Content.CREATEOUTSTREAM(OStream);

    REPORT.SAVEAS(intIDReport,XmlParameters,REPORTFORMAT::Pdf,OStream);

    Content.CLOSE;

    MESSAGE(‘PDF File written > OK’);

    END;

    5 Top Reasons to Move to Dynamics NAV 2016

    Source http://cybereaglemanagement.com.au/erp/5-Top-Reasons-to-Move-to-Dynamics- NAV-2016

    “With the launch of Dynamics NAV 2016, Microsoft has made it more compelling for NAV users to make the move to NAV 2016.”

    1. Native integration with CRM Online

    It is looking bright for the management of customer engagements as NAV 2016 will be natively integrated with CRM. This means less work on integration work using clunky or third-party tools and just getting that long-awaited seamless integration between these two systems. Manage leads and opportunities in CRM, process orders in NAV and access customer data from either.

    2. Work natively with Azure

    Now you can just configure NAV 2016 with Azure SQL. You get all the advantages of Azure including high availability, built-in redundancy, security, and value.

    3. Access from all your devices

    Apart from your desktop and tablet, you will also be able to access NAV 2016 from your smartphone with native apps and support for Windows, IOS, and Android. Browser enhancements also bring improvements to performance and user productivity. Access NAV 2016 from any device from anywhere you are connected.

    4. Business Workflows

    Using workflows you can automate routings for approvals of business documents such as Purchase Orders that are over a defined threshold or Sales orders that have gone beyond a customer’s credit limit. Using workflows you can now define notifications that

    164 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) are triggered by business events that keep you on top of your business. Processes can also be automated to trigger things as basic as doing a calculation or executing an action.

    5. e-Everything

    From electronic invoicing to OCR, you now get powerful tools for document management.

    ..another good site about “Last NAV releases 2015/2016” best features below:

    What’s New in MS Dynamics NAV 2015 & 2016 (Best Features)

    Source: http://skelia.com/whats-new-in-ms-dynamics-nav-2015-2016

    MS Dynamics NAV is an ERP system intended to help small and medium enterprises with manufacturing, finance, supply chain and customer relationship management, ecommerce and analytics. Its latest version NAV 2015 provides significant capabilities but Microsoft is planning to offer much more in NAV 2016.

    But in this article, I will primarily summarize enhancements in NAV 2015 and 2016 that introduce considerable advantages to performance and usability. Also, an emphasis will be placed on the main improvements that have been done and will be done.

    Performance

    It is widely known that, in old versions of Dynamics NAV, performance deteriorated while the database increased in size. Now, some performance bottlenecks are unblocked due to newly implemented three-tier architecture. So, let’s take a closer look at some of the most noticeable advantages of the 2015 and 2016 upgrades:

    · In NAV 2015, improved Server and Service Tiers help to decrease the amount of traffic among SQL Server, Dynamics NAV Server and client. This enables better network performance – business logic runs only on the NAV Server tier now.

    · Starting from NAV 2013 R2, WEB client has already provided better performance because most of the processes are executed by the Dynamics NAV WEB server.

    · New Dynamics NAV versions have improved SQL Server performance:

    1. Changed cache usage: Now, Dynamics NAV Server is responsible for caching the requested data for all users; in old versions, every connection required its own cache every time. 2. MARS (multiple active results sets) implemented: Functions Find(‘-’), Find(‘+’), Next

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 165 work faster. 3. Filtering on FlowFields mainly processed with a single SQL statement: Previously, filtering on FlowFields was called as an SQL statement for each filtered FlowField and for each record in the table in order to calculate the filtered FlowFields. 4. Added a new Object – NAV Query: It allows building queries in a single SQL command and getting read-only results which work faster than table-based data. Usability & Other Features

    The following global improvements were added:

    · NAV 2015 client is available on Tablets and NAV 2016 client will be also available on mobile devices.

    · Both Nav 2015 & 2016 provide excellent integration with native Business Intelligence and Office 365.

    · Excel capabilities and Power BI allow you to analyze and visualize data.

    · Word Templates help you create your own templates for any kind of document reports and import them to NAV.

    · In NAV 2016, it will be possible to integrate with Online Dynamics CRM to extend enterprise possibilities.

    · Starting from NAV 2015, you can easily schedule reports in the Report Inbox section of Role Center. For printed reports it is also possible to choose the output format of the Layout – Word, Excel or PDF.

    · In NAV 2015, the Mandatory Field property was added. Now, it is easier to manage the user interface without adding a new checking code to triggers and functions. Also, it becomes user-friendly interpretation of such fields.

    · In NAV 2015, Bank Data Conversion Service on Microsoft Azure enables automatic processes for electronic payments. There were prepared some template functions for the biggest banks to make Dynamics NAV flexible for export/import payments and receipts.

    · In NAV 2016, workflow enhancements are expected to improve customized automation around billing, HR and Payroll, financial and other critical functions.

    · And the last quite useful and important feature of NAV 2015 is the possibility to simplify the user interface in the UI Removal feature. You can delete unused fields and/or actions on the pages. And that makes pages easier to observe and navigate.

    Thursday, March 10, 2016

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 167 “HOW TO RESET” NAV “BAD” USER

    If you have some issues with NAV single user (ex; can’t login, permissions lost, errors on pages etc.), you can delete ALL user configuration and after recreate a new user.

    Follow procedure below.

    use DB

    GO

    1) FIRST: SELECT [User Security ID] from USERNAME

    retrieve User Security ID (User ID by uniqueidentifier)

    select [User Security ID] from [dbo].[User] where [User Name] = ‘DOMAINUSER1’

    –> example: User Security ID output: 49089BA8-91C5-4BD2-A322-7797760736B2 (User ID by uniqueidentifier)

    2) SECOND: DELETE users configuration using [User Security ID] extracted from user name

    delete [dbo].[Access Control] where [User Security ID] = N’49089BA8-91C5-4BD2-A322- 7797760736B2′

    delete [dbo].[Page Data Personalization] where [User SID] = N’49089BA8-91C5-4BD2- A322-7797760736B2′

    delete [dbo].[User Metadata] where [User SID] = N’49089BA8-91C5-4BD2-A322- 7797760736B2′

    delete [dbo].[User Property] where [User Security ID] = N’49089BA8-91C5-4BD2-A322- 7797760736B2′

    delete [dbo].[User Personalization] where [User SID] = N’49089BA8-91C5-4BD2-A322- 7797760736B2′

    delete [dbo].[User Default Style Sheet] where [User ID] = N’49089BA8-91C5-4BD2-A322-

    168 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 7797760736B2′

    GO

    NB: STOP NAV SERVICE BEFORE DELETING from SQL !!/

    STOP NAV SERVER Service (you can’t delete users from SQL with NAV server active- “USER” table is locked)

    3) LAST: delete user (and after recreate form NAV User Page) delete [dbo].[User] where [User Name] = ‘DOMAINUSER1’

    GO

    ** If you have NAV pending services, use KIll service script below:

    KILLING PENDING SERVICE PROCEDURE

    Kill Service Script sc queryex MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer$ITA result –> Service Name

    Process ID : PID 10484 taskkill /PID 10484 /F result –> process killed

    Sunday, May 01, 2016 PRODUCTION ORDERS IN NAV …a short guide about NAV Production Orders, based on MSDN Online NAV help.

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 179 PRODUCTION ORDER PURPOSE General Definiton : “Production Order – an order that initiates the manufacturing process”

    Wikipedia Defintion: “ A production order is an order issued within a company to produce a specific quantity of material within a certain timeframe. A production order may be issued pursuant to a sales order, and its issuance triggers a number of events. If components in the bill of materials are in stock, reservations are generated for those items; if they are not in stock, then requisition orders may be generated. Requisition orders may also be generated for production that occurs externally to the firm. Planned costs for the order are also generated and capacity requirements are generated for the work centers.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_order

    NAV PERSPECTIVE: “Produc tion orders are the central components of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV’s manufacturing functionality. Produ ction orders can be used to capture cost. However, there are other ways to capture costs, it depends upon business requirements.”

    NAV PRODUCTION ORDERS FEATURES Production orders contain the following information: -Products planned for manufacturing -Materials required for the planned production orders -Products that have just been manufactured -Materials that have already been selected -Products that have been manufactured in the past -Materials that were used in previous manufacturing

    Production orders are the starting point for: -Planning future manufacturing -Controlling current manufacturing -Tracking of finished manufacturing

    Production orders go through five different statuses: -Simulated -Planned -Firm Planned -Released -Finished NB: is not possible to change the status of a production order manually.

    PRODUCTION ORDERS TYPES Simulated Production Order – SPO The Simulated Production Order (SPO) is unique based on the following characteristics: -It is not real. -It does not influence order planning.

    “As its name implies, it is not real and the main purpose is for quoting and costing,” SPO does not influence the planning of orders. Planning (MPS and MRP, discussed in other chapters) neither considers nor is affected by simulated production orders. Also, a simulated production order cannot be used as a template because it disappears when its status changes.

    180 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Planned Production Order – PPO The Planned Production Order (PPO) has the following characteristics: -PPOs affect capacity requirements. -PPOs serve as good workload estimates. -PPOs need careful planning.

    PPOs are similar to released production orders and provide input to capacity requirements planning by showing the total capacity requirements by work center or machine center. A PPO represents the best estimate of the future work center or machine center load based on available information. Typically, they are generated from planning, but can also be created manually. Because they are erased during subsequent planning generations, manual creation is not practical. The PPO generation in planning results in a suggested “planned order release” that includes quantity, release date, and due date. The planning system logic is based on the replenishment system, reorder policies, and order modifiers that it encounters in the net requirements planning process.

    Firm Planned Production Order – FPPO The Firm Planned Production Order (FPPO) has the following characteristics: -FPPOs can be manually changed. -FPPOs are placeholders. -FPPOs are created from planning, manual creation, or sales orders. -FPPO creation results in a planned order release.

    Planning cannot change an FPPO, but the Production Planner can make changes manually to the production order. The Production Planner can automatically create an FPPO from a sales order.

    An FPPO acts as a placeholder in the planning schedule for some future job released to the floor. An FPPO can be generated from planning or created manually or from sales orders. They are not erased during subsequent planning. An FPPOs generation in planning results in a suggested planned order release that includes quantity, release date, and due date. The planning system logic is based on the replenishment system, reorder policies, and order modifiers that it encounters in the net requirements planning process. To view an FPPOs impact in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, look at the load for each work center or machine center on the firm planned production order’s routing.

    Released Production Order – RPO The Released Production Order (RPO) has the following characteristics: -RPOs do not indicate product removal. -RPOs are not always created immediately after a sales order. -RPOs can record material consumption from a product output.

    “When a production order has been released, it does not necessarily mean that materials have been picked or the job has physically moved to its first operation.” In an MTO (Make-to-Order) environment, it is not unusual to create a released production order immediately after the entry of the sales order. Actual material consumption and product output can be recorded manually with an RPO. In addition, automatic flushing of consumption and product output only occurs for RPOs.

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 181 Finished Production Order – FPO The Finished Production Order (FPO) has the following characteristics: FPOs are terminal. An FPO is an order that, for some reason, has been terminated. Usually, the order has already been manufactured. FPOs can track back to other orders. FPOs are used for statistical reporting and to maintain the ability to track back to other orders (for example, sales, production, and purchase). FPOs can never be changed. The ability to track back to a finished production order allows you to review the detailed history.

    NB:Finished Production Orders cannot be posted to or deleted. The status of a production order is changed to Finished to maintain historical information and to complete accounting and/or automatic flushing entries.

    Production order: Source Types Note that the Source Type for this order is Item. Three Source Types are available for a production order: -Item -Family -Sales Header

    Item – An item production order is wanted when one production order for each individual line of a sales order is appropriate. Family – A Family production order is needed when a group of items always needs to be manufactured together. Sales header – A sales header production order is appropriate when you want to produce all items of a sales order from one production order. This is useful in a large project environment where there is a relatively long manufacturing leadtime.

    Scheduling\Rescheduling a production order

    – Backward scheduling begins from the ending date and proceeds backward to the required starting date. – Forward scheduling begins at the starting date and proceeds forward to the finishing date.

    “The program automatically schedules the order to be completed one day before the due date.”

    Tuesday, May 03, 2016 “Gestione magazzino fiscale”, NAV Italian Localization

    In questo post sono fornite informazioni tecniche sui concetti e sui principi utilizzati nelle funzionalità di magazzino fiscale presente nella localizzazione italiana di NAV.

    Il costing di magazzino, detto anche gestione costing riguarda la registrazione e il reporting dei costi operativi business.

    Valutazione magazzino fiscale (tipologia di costi gestibili)

    “È necessario inviare un report annuale che mostra il valore monetario degli articoli di magazzino per l’anno fiscale. In base alle normative italiane per la valutazione fiscale di magazzino”, è possibile calcolare le seguenti tipologie di costi:

    · Costo medio annuale

    · Costo medio ponderato

    · Costo FIFO

    · Costo LIFO

    · Costo LIFO discreto

    PROCESSI NAV MAGAZZINO FISCALE – MAPPA MENTALE BASIC RS

    184 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) MENU’ VALUTAZIONE MAGAZZINO FISCALE

    SETUP MAGAZZINO

    Setup della modalità e del periodo di aggiornamento costi tramite registrazioni di aggiustamenti magazzino. In questo esempio aggiornamento automatico dei costi al posting dei documenti (SEMPRE) e gestione del costo medio giornaliero per articolovariantemagazzino (giornaliero in questo caso)

    CAMPO UBICAZIONE OBBLIGATORIA

    Specifica se gli articoli devono avere un codice ubicazione per essere registrati ( soluzione consigliata). Inserire un segno di spunta nel campo se si desidera che venga richiesta l’immissione di un codice di ubicazione durante la registrazione di transazioni relative agli articoli.

    SETUP COSTING ARTICOLO

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 185 PERIODI DI MAGAZZINO

    Specifica un periodo di tempo durante il quale è possibile registrare modifiche ai valori di magazzino. Un periodo di magazzino è definito dalla data in cui termina, ovvero la data di fine. Quando si chiude un periodo di magazzino, non è possibile registrare modifiche al valore di magazzino, previsto o fatturato, né registrare nuovi valori nel magazzino precedenti alla data di fine. Se nel periodo chiuso sono presenti movimenti articoli aperti, ovvero quantità positive non ancora consumate da, o collegate a, transazioni in uscita, è ancora possibile collegare quantità in uscita a questi movimenti, anche se il periodo è chiuso.

    COSTO PRIMA DELL’INIZIO (BEFORE NAV COSTING)

    Specifica le informazioni sui costi articolo presenti prima che l’utente abbia iniziato a utilizzare Microsoft Dynamics NAV nella propria organizzazione. Queste informazioni sono necessarie per la valutazione di magazzino nel primo anno dopo l’implementazione di Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

    È possibile utilizzare questa tabella per immettere le informazioni relative agli articoli di magazzino, ad esempio i costi dei componenti, dei cicli di produzione e quelli generali.

    NBA: Saranno usati dal report di valutazione magazzino (costi di startup magazzino in NAV). I Valori sono globali (NON distinti per singolo magazzino)

    186 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) PERIODI CONTEGGIO INVENTARIO FISICO

    Calcola la periodicità dell’inventario fisico

    CALCOLO VALORE MAGAZZINO WIP (da Produzione)

    Calcola il valore WIP della produzione utilizzando gli ordini di produzione filtrabili per tipologiaperiodo analisi.

    Calcola costi fine anno

    In provvisorio è lanciabile per piu periodi e per più volte, calcola il valore di magazzino; se lanciata in definitiva CHIUDE l’anno fiscale di magazzino.

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 187 RISULTATO à CARICAMENTO TABELLA “STORICO COSTI ARTICOLI”

    Ogni volta che si calcola il magazzino viene alimentata la tabella del costo storico

    Se lancio in definitivo del calcolo

    È sempre da lanciare a fine anno fiscale di magazzino es: lancio al “31/12/15” (per chiudere l’anno 2015);

    Se si lancia parziale segnala l’errore.

    CHIUSURA PERIODO MAGAZZINO

    Prima di chiudere occorre eseguire questa serie di attività:

    1) Lanciare aggiornamento costi NAV (“Adjust Cost Entries” report)

    2) Stampare il “report di test”

    Esempio di esito del report di test

    image022 image021

    188 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 3) Lanciare il “ Chiudi Periodo”

    PERIODI DI MAGAZZINO CHIUSI

    Flag indica la chiusura del periodo

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 189 MOVIMENTI PERIODI MAGAZZINO

    Movimenti relativi al periodo di magazzino

    RIAPERTURA PERIODO CHIUSO

    E’ possibile riaprire un periodo se necessario per sistemare costigiacenze errate.

    REGISTRI DI MAGAZZINO

    Storico movimenti di magazzino (scritture raggruppate per blocco data posting)

    Storia delle transazioni con operatoredata

    190 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) RISULTATO FINALE PROCEDURA à REPORT VALUTAZIONE “MAGAZZINO FISCALE”

    Si appoggia alle tabelle sopra se compilate per dare un “ costo certo” archiviato in dati storici.

    OPZIONI STAMPA (tutte le tipologie)

    STAMPA VALUTAZIONE MAG. AL “COSTO FISCALE CALCOLATO”

    “la data di competenza serve per recuperare il costo fiscale calcolato e registrato nellatabella Storico costo articolo, il filtro data è richiesto per calcolare la giacenza del periodo richiesto”. S e non viene indicato il filtro data il report restituisce un messaggio di errore tecnico al lancio dello stesso.

    NB: dato che non è ben documentata la gestione dei filtri di lancio del report (e lo scopo\modo di utilizzo degli stessi) è stata suggerita una modifica all’ help italiano di NAV che dovrebbe, a detta di Microsoft, essere modificato a breve.

    A little “ how-to” post about NAV NAS Configuration and Report Scheduling, below some info, links and some screens for simple configuration.

    NAV 2016 NAS

    – “ NAS services are a middle-tier server component that executes business logic without a user interface or user interaction. NAS services in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server support applications such as Microsoft Office Outlook Integration and the NAV Job Queue.

    – “NAS” stands for NAV Application Server, which was a component in earlier versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. NAS services replace the NAS component, and this requires you to modify any use of server-side COM.”

    …some screens about “NAS CONFIGURATION AND SETUP”

    NAS SERVER SETUP

    RETRY ATTEMPS PER DAY

    RUN NAS WITH ADMIN RIGHTS

    “Specifies whether NAS services run operations with administrator rights instead of the rights granted to the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server service account.”

    • If you select this setting, NAS services will have full permissions in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, similar to the permissions that are granted by the SUPER permission set. The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server service account is not required to be set up as a user in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. • If you clear this setting, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server service account must be added as a user in Microsoft Dynamics NAV and assigned the permissions that are required to perform the operations.

    194 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) STARTUP ARGUMENT

    “Specifies a string argument that will be used when NAS services start. The argument typically specifies an application type, sometimes with additional configuration information.” Example values: "OSYNCH" , " JOBQUEUE"

    STARTUP CODEUNIT

    Specifies the codeunit that contains the method that will be called by the NASStartupMethod setting.

    Example values:

    0 > When NASStartupCodeunit is set to 0, NAS Services do not start. This is the default value.

    1 > When NAS services start, they run the trigger specified by the NAS Startup Method in codeunit 1

    450 > When NAS services start, they run codeunit 450 (Job Queue – NAS Start Up), and call the method specified by NASStartupMethod.

    STARTUP METHOD

    Specifies the method that will be called in the NASStartupCodeunit.

    Example values:

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 195 "" > If no start method is specified (null string), the OnRun trigger is called.

    StartNAS > NAS services runs the StartNAS method in the NAS Startup Codeunit.

    NB: NAV Help is incorrect for options STARTUP CODEUNIT\STARTUP METHOD

    Microsoft: “The reason being change in NAV 2016, in the Codeunit 1 there no NAShandler function anymore, it has shifted to Codeunit 450. If you still define Codeunit 1, then there has to be code defined in Codeunit 1, or if you define any other codeunit then you provide it here as you know this already. This is BUG in the documentation about configuration parameters, will be fix soon.”

    May 11, 2016 bookshelves: nav-2016 , nav-2016-books , nav-2016-implementing Read from May 03 to 10, 2016

    Implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV – Third Edition “Explore the capabilities of Dynamics NAV 2016 and discover all you need to implement it”Third Published: April 2016, Actual Author: Alex Chow

    My Opinion: “Nice book, for beginners & medium expertise NAV users”

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 201 The book is suitable for those who want to start using NAV 2016, does not require a previous technical\functional knowledge, even those who are new to the NAV environment can learn a lot from this book; is a book for everyone.

    “What’s New” in NAV 2016 “core” of the book … nice chapter about NAV 2016 new features: Cue with colors indicator, Rapidstart, OCR Service, CRM Native integration, Workflow, Deferreals, Approvals, Posting Preview, Web, Tablet Clients, Universal App.

    Nice chapter about Powershell cmdlets and upgrade automation it is explained how to perform a release upgrade automatically, good!

    ..another good chapter about Project Management : difference about Waterfall & Agile Approach Waterfall & Agile Approach, use best of them ! , Microsoft Sure Steps > Waterfall & Agile on Microsoft Vision.

    Good chapter about “data migration” Many methods described: by powershell, rapidstart, excel templates, xmlports.. a nice section about “going live in middle of fiscal year” !!

    Upgrading Dynamics NAV Upgrade process checklist … from 3.60 to NAV 2016 “ALL” about NAV Upgrade, reference to Merge Tools (nice tool also for NAV 2016), Merge tools Section, nice section about utilization of Merge tools, actually a good merging\versioning system for NAV Uograde.

    NAV 2016 Debugging Section My favorite section, all aspects of debugging with NAV 2016 are illustrated, for me is the better part of the boook.

    Popular reporting options Good vision about NAV integrations (query, Charts, Web Services OData , Power Pivot and Power BI, Jet Report Express)

    Positive notes Many topics are covered, from the NAV history to NAV 2016 new features, some new features, however, are only listed. A lot of arguments about Financials Management, Sales & Marketing, Purchase,Warehouse, Manufacturing, Jobs, Resource Planning, Service.

    Negative notes\suggestions The section relating to NAV Administration could be more substantial, Workflow is just listed, the notification system is not treated, are also references to multitenant management and NAV on Azure DB.

    Conclusions In conclusion i would say that the overview of topics covered in the book is good for novice\medium expert user who wants to explore NAV’s world.

    Rating: 3.8/5 stars, nice book anyway.

    Thursday, May 12, 2016 OnDemand NAS Codeunits Scheduling

    With a little modification of standard NAV “ Scheduling Report Page”, is possible to schedule also codeunits !

    You don’t need IT department to schedule you applications handled by codeunits (ex: interfaces, intercompany entries, copy company functions etc.), user can schedule codeunits in his NAS session without use of Process Queue management console. Some standard codeunits have HideDialog functions defined, you can use these functions to bypass client input parameters (es: confirm messages etc.), you are in NOT GUIALLOWED mode with NAS.

    Examples of utilizations:

    • we use OnDemand schedule to launch OnDemand Web Services synchronizations and multicompanies data deployments, we won’t use reports to do this, and we need to handle transactions with great rollback by design (codeunits). Example

    OnDemand schedule of codeunit “ 99000853 Calc. Low-level code”, that require user input confirmation (Confirm)

    Modifications:

    Codeunit 99000853 Calc. Low-level code

    OnRun()

    // Set Hidedialogs TRUE for NAS execution (NAV Service and NAS for user sessions)

    IF NOT GUIALLOWED THEN

    SetHideDialogs(TRUE);

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 203 SetHideDialogs(NewHideDialogs : Boolean)

    HideDialogs := NewHideDialogs;

    //Standard HideDialogs Function

    Custom Page 50001 “Schedule a Codeunit” (new page from “Schedule a Report” Page 682)

    Triggers and functions

    OnOpenPage()

    IF NOT FINDFIRST THEN BEGIN

    INIT;

    ReportEditable := TRUE;

    OutPutEditable := TRUE;

    Status := Status::”On Hold”;

    VALIDATE(“Object Type to Run”,”Object Type to Run”::Codeunit);

    INSERT(TRUE);

    END ;

    Object ID to Run – OnLookup(VAR Text : Text) : Boolean // Show Codeunits List

    IF LookupObjectID(NewObjectID) THEN BEGIN

    Text := FORMAT(NewObjectID);

    EXIT(TRUE);

    END;

    EXIT(FALSE);

    ScheduleACodeunit(CodeunitId : Integer;RequestPageXml : Text) : Boolean

    ScheduleACodeunit.SetParameters(CodeunitId,RequestPageXml);

    EXIT(ScheduleACodeunit.RUNMODAL = ACTION::OK);

    SetParameters(ReportId : Integer;RequestPageXml : Text)

    INIT;

    Status := Status::”On Hold”;

    204 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) VALIDATE(“Object Type to Run”,”Object Type to Run”::Codeunit);

    VALIDATE(“Object ID to Run”,ReportId);

    INSERT(TRUE);

    Example OnDemand Schedule for codeunit 99000853 “Low Level Code Calculation”

    • Select codeunit from list

    After Selection

    • Validate Codeunit • Insert Scheduling Timing

    Check in Process Queue entries

    • You can find your OnDemand Schedule

    Check NAS Log

    • Completed !

    Monday, May 23, 2016 You can have directs shortcuts (or hyperlinks in your emails) to open directly pages & reports passing filters.Example (page):– Base Command dynamicsnav://server.local:port/Db/Compan y/runpage?page=9307 – Filter parameter $filter=%27Purchase%20Header%27.%27 No.%27%20IS%20%27OF16000933%27 – View Mode mode=View Sample Full Command dynamicsnav://server.local:port/Db/Company/runpage?page=9307&$filter=%27Purchase %20Header%27.%27No.%27%20IS%20%27OF16000933%27&mode=View Results > in this case system runs on NAV Client Page “9307 Order List” , the page is filtered on purchase Order No.’ OF16000933‘ ..you can build parametric strings to launch your pages\reports from command line (like existing features in NAV Approval Workflow).

    GESTIONE ASSEMBLAGGI IN NAV (SIMPLE “HOW-TO”)

    Wednesday, May 25, 2016 GESTIONE ASSEMBLAGGI IN NAV (SIMPLE “HOW-TO”)

    ASSEMBLY Vs MANUFACTURING

    “assembly, light manufacturing, and kitting”

    Nice post from NAV Team blog about these different features https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/nav/2012/11/20/assembly-management-versus- manufacturing-in-microsoft-dynamics-nav-2013/

    FAST & SIMPLE” HOW-TO” IN ITALIAN LANGUAGE

    GESTIONE ASSEMBLAGGI IN NAV

    In NAV è possibile utilizzare gli ordini di assemblaggio nelle variazioni dei seguenti tipi di business.

    TipoDescrizioneProduzione leggera Spostare o differire le operazioni leggere da reparti a warehouse o centri di distribuzione ( Light Manufacturing) KittingAssembly Prelevare e imballare articoli vendibili come kit oppure creare un assemblaggio di parti per comporre

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 207 ESEMPIO\SCENARIO DI UTILIZZO ES: utile per i KIT (es: vendita del cesto di frutta, vendita del pigiama, Tavolo montato dal cliente)

    ASSUNZIONI\LIMITAZIONI rispetto a gestione con Ordini di Produzione (es: Fase di ASSEMBLAGGIO)

    Ø Necessita di distinta base di assemblaggio

    Ø Non gestisce ordini di produzione

    Ø Non gestisce cicli di lavorazione

    Ø Non gestisce codici legami

    Ø Non gestisce conto lavorazione

    Ø Non gestisce trasferimenti

    Ø Minor controllo sui costiscostamenti

    ORDINE DI ASSEMBLAGGIO – SPECIFICA FUNZIONALE “Specifica quali e quanti articoli assemblare e quali componenti (articoli o risorse) rientrano nell’articolo di assemblaggio.”

    Come gli ordini di produzione, gli ordini di assemblaggio son o ordini interni non destinati a fornitori o clienti e vengono utilizzati per gestire la creazione di articoli vendibili impostati come articoli di assemblaggio. Gli ordini di assemblaggio differiscono da altri tipi di ordine perchéprevedono sia l’output, o rettifica positiva, che il consumo, o rettifica negativa, in fase di registrazione. A questo proposito, la testata ordine di assemblaggio si comporta analogamente a una riga ordine di vendita e le righe ordine di assemblaggio si comportano in modo analogo alle righe registrazioni consumi.

    SETUP ASSEMBLAGGIO Ø Codificare numeratori offerteordiniordinI registrati di assemblaggio

    Ø Dimensioni

    Ø Magazzino Default per ordini di assemblaggio

    208 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) ARTICOLO DI ASSEMBLAGGIO Ø Configurare l’articolo come di assemblaggio (Sistema rifornimento e Politica di Produzione)

    DIBA ASSEMBLAGGIO Ø Configurare la DIBA di Assemblaggio

    Ø È possibile inserire Articoli, Risorse, Note

    Ø È possibile calcolare un COSTO STANDARD di Assemblaggio

    ESPLOSIONE DB Ø È possibile esplodere i livelli inferiori per articoli componenti con DIBA

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 209 CALCOLO COSTO STANDARD ASSEMBLAGGIO Ø È possibile utilizzare il calcolo del costo standard di assemblaggio

    COSTO STANDARD CALCOLATO SU ARTICOLO

    DETTAGLIO COSTI ASSEMBLAGGIO (esplosione)

    210 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) REPORT DETTAGLIO DISTTIBUZIONE DEI COSTI

    ORDINE DI VENDITA – ASSEMBLAGGIO AD “ORDER” Ø In riga ordine inserire un “Articolo di Assemblaggio” es: ART_ASS (in questo caso di tipo ASSEMBLAGGIO SU ORDINE)

    Ø Dopo aver inserito la qtà (nel caso “Assemblaggio su Ordine”) > viene lanciato il calcolo della qtà assemblabile

    Ø Sistema chiede nel caso di NON disponibilità dei componenti se dichiarare comunque l’assemblaggio

    RIGHE ORDINE

    Ø Inserire la QTA’ Assemblaggio su ordine

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 211 Ø Cliccando sul campo “ qtà per assemblaggio su ordine” è possibile vedere i componenti della DIBA

    STAMPA CONFERMA ORDINE Ø È possibile stampare anche le righe relative all’assemblaggio

    212 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) STAMPA ISTRUZIONI DI PRELIEVO Ø Sono inseriti anche i componenti di assemblaggio

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 213 ORDINE DI ASSEMBLAGGIO Ø L’ordine è stato generato in automatico dall’ordine di vendita

    image107 image108

    PAGINA ORDINE DI ASSEMBLAGGIO

    STAMPA ORDINE DI ASSEMBLAGGIO

    214 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) ANALISI DISPONIBILITA’ ARTICOLO PER LIVELLO DB Ø Utile per capire la fattibilità degli assemblaggi

    REGISTRAZIONE ORDINI DI ASSEMBLAGGIO Ø Rilascio

    Ø Registra

    Ø Registra Batch (più ordini assieme)

    NB: è possibile registrare assemblaggi sono se NON LEGATI ad ordine (cioè assemblaggi per magazzino)

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 215 SE PROVO CON ASSEMBLAGGIO SU ORDINE:

    L’ASSEMBLAGGIO VIENE REGISTRATO ALL’EVASIONE DELL’ORDINE Ø Al momento dell’evasione dell’ordine (spedizione)

    Ø Durante la registrazione da ordine,

    Ø Da spedizione warehouse

    Ø Da spedizione raggruppata

    Ø L’ordine di assemblaggio è stato registrato (in questo caso con Spedizione Parziale 2/10 > residuo 8)

    image116 image117

    MOVIMENTI CONTABILI ARTICOLI A fronte di un assemblaggio da Odine I movimenti contabili articoli generati sono di 3 tipi

    Ø Output Assemblaggio > Carico prodotto finito

    Ø Consumo per Assemblaggio > Consumo componenti per produzione del finito

    216 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Ø Vendita > Spedizione da ordine – scarico prodotto finito

    ORDINI DI ASSEMBLASGGIO REGISTRATI Ø È possibile vederestampare gli ordini di assemblaggio registrati

    STATISTICHE ORDINE DI ASSEMBLAGGIO REGISTRATO

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 217 ASSEMBLAGGIO A “STOCK” Ø Nel caso di assemblaggio a stock (per magazzino), l’ordine viene creato slegato dall’ordine di vendita

    Ø Viene dichiarata sia la Qta del documenti che la Qtà da Assemblare

    ANNULLAMENTO ASSEMBLAGGIO (solo per Assemblaggi a Stock) Ø Per gli assemblaggi a Stock è possibile utilizzare la funzione “ Annulla Assemblaggio”

    Ø

    image067 image121

    MOVIMENTI CONTABILI ARTICOLI DI STORNO Ø 1) Vengono generati movimenti contrari per stornare assemblaggio e consumo

    Ø 2) L’ordine di assemblaggio torna in ordini di assemblaggio non registrato

    218 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) PROSPETTO DI PIANIFICAZIONE (MPS PER ARTICOLI DI ASSEMBLAGGIO) Ø Prospetto di pianificazione

    Ø Sistema estrae solo lo stock in quanto l’assemblaggio da ordine è già stato creato

    Es calcolo con articoli ART_ASS|ART_ASS_STOCK (da ordine e da Stock)

    RISULTATO DELLA PIANIFICAZIONE

    TRACCIABILITA’ ORDINE Ø Navigando nella tracciabilità sistema fa comuque vedere l’ordine (ordini) generanti il fabbisogno, nessun legame con gli ordino però è stato generato.

    CREAZIONE ORDINI DI ASSEMBLAGGIO DA PROSPETTO PIANIFICAZIONE Ø Funzione “Esegui Messaggi di Azione”

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 219 Ø L’ordine è stato creato dalla pianificazione e se vede in “ Lista Assemblaggi”

    GESTIONE IMPEGNI PER ASSEMBLAGGIO Ø È Possibile impegnare sia il prodotto finito che i componenti utilizzando le procedure standard di NAV

    Ø L’impegno può essere fatto manualmente dalle maschere di assegnazione impegno

    Ø Nel caso di Assemblaggio su Ordine l’impegno è automatico ( riserva per Ordine)

    ESEMPI DI IMPEGNO

    Ø Impegno su Prodotto finito

    220 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) IMPEGNO AUTOMATICO (O DA RIGA CORRENTE)

    SCELTA DA DISPONIBILE DA IMPEGNARE

    Ø Impegno su componenti

    Da funzione “Riga” > Impegno

    Il concetto è lo stesso visto per i prodotti finiti

    Monitoring Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 Server Using “Performance Counters”

    Nice page about NAV 2015 performance counters !

    “ Performance counters” provide information about how well Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server is operating. By using monitoring tools such as Windows Performance Monitor and System Center Operations Manager, you can use the Microsoft Dynamics NAV performance counters to collect data on Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instances, and then use the data to identify conditions that are affecting performance and make adjustments.

    234 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Microsoft Dynamics NAV also provides a Data Collector Set template that you can use to easily create Data CollectorSets that contain all the Microsoft Dynamics NAV performance counters.

    Saturday, June 18, 2016 HR (Human Resources) module in Dynamics NAV

    Some people have asked me about the HR NAV module, below some definitions and links.

    HR Module’s Topics Details The Human Resources feature lets you keep detailed records of your employees. You can register and maintain employee information, such as employment contracts, confidential information, qualifications, and employee contacts. You can also use Human Resources to register employee absences, which allows you to analyze registered absences as necessary. To start using Human Resources, you must set up employees and other basic information. You can also associate various codes to an employee, which allows you to filter information and view specific employees.

    Best Goals of Module – Candidate profiling (skills matrix) – Employees confidential information – Managing employees absences – Tracking of expensive equipments (assignements of benefits..etc.) – Possibile integration with NAV resources (ex: timesheets) – Possibile integration with external payroll system (NAV addons or Others..)

    1 PIANIFICAZIONE IN NAV 2016

    Il processo di pianificazione di NAV 2016 considera diversi elementi per gestire correttamente la pianificazione; saranno sotto elencati i campi più significativi presenti in scheda Articolo\Setup Manufacturing utilizzati da questo processo.

    1.1 ELEMENTI IN GIOCO PRINCIPALI IN PIANIFICAZIONE I principali elementi in gioco nel processo di pianificazione sono:

    • Giacenze di Magazzino (da flag “Includi giacenza” per riordino a MAKE-TO-STOCK) • Ordini di Vendita • Ordini di Vendita Programmati • Ordini di Acquisto • Ordini di Acquisto Programmati • Ordini di Trasferimento • Commesse in essere • Ordini di produzione in essere • Ordini di Assistenza • Gestione Scorta Minimaparametri di riordino articolo • SKU (Stock Keeping Units) con relativa parametrizzazione (come per articolo) • Richieste di Approvvigionamento (queste non vengono tenute conto nel calcolo MRP, sono cancellabili e ricreabili al lancio) 3 Setup CAMPI ARTICOLO PER PIANIFICAZIONE E COSTING

    Saranno ora documentati i singoli campi più significativi utilizzati dal processo di pianificazione; la definizione della funzionalità del singolo campo è quella presente nell’help Online di NAV; le informazioni sono state aggregate per presentarle in un solo blocco; utilizzando la funzionalità standard “Online Help” di NAV sul campo è possibile visualizzare le stesse analoghe informazioni.

    3.1 Scheda Articolo Scheda Articolo

    240 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 3.2 Valutazione Magazzino NAV “Specifica il metodo di valutazione magazzino utilizzata per calcolare il costo dell’articolo. Le opzioni includono Medio ponderato, Medio, FIFO, LIFO e LIFO discreto.

    Sono gestiti i metodi classici di valutazione regolati dal codice civile italiano

    Ø Medio Ponderato, Medio, FIFO, LIFO, LIFO Discreto

    3.3 Metodo di Costing in NAV “Specifica come viene registrato il flusso del costo dell’articolo e se un valore effettivo o a budget viene capitalizzato e utilizzato nel calcolo dei costi.

    Il metodo di costing che viene scelto determina la modalità in cui viene calcolato il costo unitario tramite presupposizioni sul flusso degli articoli nell’azienda. “

    Ø Le opzioni includono FIFO, LIFO, Specifico, Medio, Standard

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 241 3.4 Metodo di Costing in NAV Dettaglio “Il Metodo di costing sulla scheda articolo definisce come viene registrato il flusso del costo dell’articolo e se un valore effettivo o a budget viene capitalizzato e utilizzato nel calcolo dei costi.”

    Nella seguente tabella vengono fornite le procedure consigliate sulla modalità di impostazione del campo Metodo di costing.

    Opzione di setupProcedura consigliataCommentoFIFO Utilizzare quando il costo del prodotto è stabile. Utilizzare per articoli con una durata a scaffale limitata, poiché le merci più vecchie devono essere vendute prima della data di scadenza. Il costo unitario di un articolo è il valore effettivo di tutto il carico dell’articolo, selezionato secondo la regola FIFO. Nella valutazione di magazzino si presuppone che il primo articolo posizionato nel magazzino venga venduto per primo. Nota Quando i prezzi salgono, nei conti patrimoniali viene mostrato un valore maggiore. Ciò significa che la soggettività tributaria aumenta mentre il punteggio del credito e la capacità di prendere in prestito soldi migliora. LIFO Utilizzare quando i livelli di inventario vengono gestiti in modo coerente o aumentano nel tempo. Il costo unitario di un articolo è il valore effettivo di tutto il carico dell’articolo, selezionato secondo la regola LIFO. Nella valutazione di magazzino si presuppone che gli ultimi articoli posizionati nel magazzino vengano venduti per primo. Nota Quando i prezzi salgono, il valore nel conto economico diminuisce. Ciò significa che la soggettività tributaria diminuisce mentre la capacità di prendere in prestito soldi peggiora. Importante Operazione non consentita in molti paesi, perché può essere utilizzata per ridurre il profitto. Media Utilizzare quando il costo del prodotto non è stabile. Utilizzare quando gli inventari sono impilati o mischiati e non è possibile differenziarli, ad esempio con gli agenti chimici. Il costo unitario di un articolo è il costo esatto con la particolare unità è stata ricevuta. Specifico Utilizzare nella produzione o nel commercio di articoli facilmente identificabili a costi unitari abbastanza elevati. Utilizzare gli articoli che sono soggetti a regolazione. Utilizzare per articoli con numeri di serie. Il costo unitario di un articolo viene calcolato come il costo unitario medio in ogni momento dopo un acquisto. Per la valutazione magazzino si presuppone che tutte le giacenze siano vendute simultaneamente. Standard Utilizzare quando il controllo costi è fondamentale. Utilizzare nella produzione ripetitiva per stimare i costi di materiale diretto, di manodopera diretta e i costi generali di produzione. Utilizzare quando esiste una disciplina e del personale per gestire gli standard. Il costo unitario di un articolo è prestabilito in base a una stima. Quando il costo effettivo viene realizzato successivamente, il costo standard deve essere rettificato con il costo effettivo tramite i valori di scostamento

    3.5 Valutazione Magazzino Fiscale Rif. Codice Civile Le rimanenze di magazzino e la loro valutazione in bilancio

    Secondo la classificazione del Codice civile, le rimanenze di magazzino includono le materie prime, sussidiarie e di consumo, i prodotti in corso di lavorazione e semilavorati, i lavori in corso su ordinazione, i prodotti finiti e merci, gli acconti.

    Articoli 2424-2426

    242 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) L’articolo 2424 del Codice, inoltre, classifica le rimanenze nella macroclasse C) dell’attivo patrimoniale. Il Codice civile si occupa della valutazione delle suddette rimanenze all’articolo 2426, mentre l’Oic ha elaborato il principio contabile Oic13, che si occupa di illustrare la valutazione e rappresentazione della stessa voce contabile

    Punto di vista fiscale

    Da un punto di vista fiscale, le rimanenze devono essere raggruppate in categorie omogenee per natura e per valore e a ciascun gruppo deve essere attribuito il valore che si ottiene dall’applicazione del metodo adottato in bilancio e, cioè: del “LIFO a scatti annuale”, del “FIFO” o, in alternativa, del “costo medio ponderato”.

    Se in un esercizio il valore medio dei beni determinato con uno di questi tre metodi risulta superiore al valore medio di mercato, tutti i beni potranno essere iscritti in bilancio al valore normale. La svalutazione al valore normale e’ sempre facoltativa. La valutazione al valore normale resta efficace anche per gli esercizi successivi a meno che nel bilancio non venga ripristinato un valore superiore.

    Deroghe e cambiamenti – Art. 2423-bis

    Una volta scelto il criterio di valutazione che si vuole adottare, questo de ve essere mantenuto negli esercizi successivi e, dunque, si potranno cambiare i criteri di valutazione solo se giustificati da particolari motivi preventivamente comunicati all’agenzia delle Entrate ( articolo 2423-bis del Codice civile). Le deroghe devono essere obbligatoriamente descritte nella nota integrativa, da cui si deve poter leggere anche l’influenza del cambiamento sulla rappresentazione della situazione patrimoniale e finanziaria del risultato economico.

    3.6 Parametri di rifornimento Saranno spiegati i parametri di rifornimento per gli articoli

    Sezione TAB NAV > Rifornimento

    3.7 Sistema di rifornimento “Specifica il tipo di ordine di approvvigionamento che viene creato dal sistema di pianificazione quando è richiesto il rifornimento dell’articolo. Sono disponibili le seguenti opzioni:

    • Acquisto: fornire l’articolo con un ordine di acquisto. • Ordine prod. fornire l’articolo con un ordine di produzione.

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 243 • Assemblaggio: fornire l’articolo con un ordine di assemblaggio.

    3.8 Calcolo Lead Time “Specifica una formula di data per il calcolo del tempo necessario per il rifornimento dell’articolo. Questa formula verrà utilizzata per calcolare i campi delle date nelle righe degli ordini e delle proposte d’ordine.”

    I campi delle date nelle righe dell’ordine o della proposta d’ordine sono calcolati come segue:

    Ø In una riga dell’ordine di acquisto, Data ordine + Calcolo lead time = Data carico pianificato.

    Ø In un ordine di assemblaggio, Data inizio + Calcolo lead time = Data fine.

    Ø In una riga dell’ordine di produzione, Data inizio + Calcolo lead time = Data fine.

    NB:

    Se un articolo prodotto utilizza un ciclo, tale ciclo verrà utilizzato per calcolare la data di fine. Il calcolo del lead time viene utilizzato soltanto nel caso in cui non sia definito un ciclo per l’articolo.

    Priorità di utilizzo

    Se il campo Calcolo lead time viene compilato in diverse finestre, le priorità verranno definite nel modo seguente:

    1. Scheda del fornitore dell’articolo 2. Scheda unità di stockkeeping 3. Scheda magazzino 4. Scheda articolo ES:

    Se un acquisto viene ordinato il 20 dicembre (Data ordine: 20/12) e il lead time è due giorni (calcolo del lead time: 2D), la consegna degli articoli acquistati dovrebbe avvenire presso l’indirizzo di consegna il 22 dicembre (Data carico pianificato: 22/12).

    3.9 Politica di produzione “ Determina se vengono calcolati ordini aggiuntivi per tutti i componenti correlati. Questa impostazione include gli ordini di produzione, creati manualmente o derivanti da ordini di vendita, e le proposte d’ordine di produzione generate dai calcoli di pianificazione.”

    244 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Opzioni

    Ø Prod. Per Magazzino

    Ø Prod. Per Ordine

    DETTAGLIO

    Politica di produzioneDescrizioneProd. per Magazzino (Make to Stock) Considera il primo livello della distinta base (DB) e ogni ordine di produzione può contenere un solo articolo. Un articolo di questo genere viene prodotto per livelli di magazzino. Tipicamente si tratta di articoli standard con un lead time di produzione relativamente breve o articoli che vengono utilizzati come sotto assemblaggi necessari per altri articoli. Questa politica di produzione in genere viene utilizzata con i meto di di riordino Qtà riordino fissa o Qtà massima. Prod. su Ordine (Make to Order) La distinta base viene esplosa e viene creata una riga aggiuntiva nell’ordine di produzione o nella proposta d’ordine di produzione per ogni livello della struttura DB in cui la politica di produzione di tale articolo è stata definita come produzione su ordine. Se si emettono ordini di produzione multilivello, la politica di produzione per l’articolo padre e per gli articoli componenti a tutti i livelli deve essere produzione su ordine. Viene creato un impegno automatico tra il fabbisogno e la proposta d’ordine di rifornimento corrispondente. In questo modo vengono mantenute le informazioni personalizzate sugli ordini rilevanti, che verranno collegati a scopo di inventario e costing. Questa politica di produzione in genere viene utilizzata con il metodo di riordino Ordine o Lotto-per-Lotto. Nota Un metodo correlato nella scheda articolo che implica l’associazione ordine-a- ordine è il metodo di riordino Ordine.

    3.10 Motodo di consuntivazione “Specifica il metodo che è utilizzato per calcolare e gestire il consumo dell’articolo come componente dei processi di produzione.”

    Quando le operazioni di produzione sono integrate con i processi della warehouse, tramite collocazioni oppure stoccaggi e prelievi guidati, la collocazione da cui i componenti sono consumati è la collocazione definita in ogni riga del componente ordine di produzione. Tutti i componenti obbligatori devono essere disponibili in tale

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 245 collocazione. In caso contrario, la registrazione del consumo manuale o automatico viene interrotta per tale componente.

    Per ulteriori informazioni sul modo in cui i metodi di consuntivazione incidono sul flusso dei componenti nelle collocazioni di produzione, vedere il campo “ Cod. collocazione” nelle righe del componente dell’ordine di produzione.

    Opzioni

    Ø Manuale

    Ø Avanti

    Ø Indietro

    Ø Prelievo + avanti

    Ø Prelievo + indietro

    DETTAGLIO

    OpzioneDescrizioneManuale Richiede di inserire manualmente e registrare il consumo nella registrazione di consumo. Avanti Inserisce automaticamente il consumo in base alle righe nelle righe del componente dell’ordine di produzione. Per default, la registrazione del consumo di componenti si verifica quando si modifica lo stato di un ordine di produzione in Rilasciato. Tuttavia, se si utilizza il campo Cod. legame ciclo-DB nelle righe del componente dell’ordine di produzione, le registrazioni si verificano per operazione quando inizia l’operazione. Nota Per la consuntivazione in avanti, la registrazione specifica per l’operazione che è possibile ottenere con i codici di legame tra ciclo e DB si basa sulla quantità prevista definita nella riga del componente. Per informazioni sulla consuntivazione specifica per l’operazione basata sull’output effettivo, vedere la descrizione di Aut. fine in questo argomento. Se l’ubicazione o le risorse in cui il componente è consumato sono impostate con una struttura di collocazione di default, l’articolo viene consumato dalla collocazione produzione aperta. AttenzioneLa consuntivazione in avanti si verifica inoltre quando si fa clic su Aggiorna in un ordine di produzione rilasciato creato da zero. In questi ordini di produzione rilasciati creati direttamente non è possibile modificare le informazioni di collocazione perché le righe del componente ordine produzione vengono generate quando si aggiorna l’ordine, che esegue contemporaneamente la consuntivazione in avanti dei componenti. Di conseguenza, se si desidera modificare le informazioni di collocazione nelle righe del componente dell’ordine di produzione prima della consuntivazione in avanti, tale ordine dovrà essere creato con lo stato Pianificato o Confermato. indietroCalcola automaticamente e registra il consumo in base alle righe nelle righe del componente dell’ordine di produzione. Per default, il calcolo e la registrazione del consumo di componenti si verifica quando si modifica lo stato di un ordine di produzione rilasciato in Completato. Tuttavia, se si utilizza il campo Cod. legame ciclo-DB nelle righe del componente dell’ordine di produzione, il calcolo e la registrazione si verificano una volta completata ogni operazione. Nota La consuntivazione a ritroso e i codici di legame tra ciclo e distinta base possono combinarsi in modo che la quantità di cui è stata effettuata la consuntivazione per operazione sia proporzionale all’effettivo output di tale operazione. Per ulteriori

    246 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) informazioni, vedere Procedura: Eseguire la consuntivazione dei componenti in base all’output dell’operazione. Se l’ubicazione o le risorse in cui il componente è consumato sono impostate con una struttura di collocazione di default, l’articolo viene consumato dalla collocazione produzione aperta. Prelievo+Aut.Inizio Uguale al metodo di consuntivazione in avanti, con l’eccezione che funziona solo per le ubicazioni che utilizzano stoccaggi e prelievi guidati. Il consumo viene calcolato e registrato dalla collocazione definita nel campo Cod. coll. art. per produzione nell’ubicazione o nel centro di lavoro dopo che il componente è stato prelevato dalla warehouse. Nota Se un componente è impostato con il metodo Prelievo + Consuntivazione in avanti, non potrà disporre di un codice legame ciclo-DB per un’operazione impostata con il metodo di consuntivazione in avanti. Il componente viene quindi consuntivato automaticamente quando comincia l’operazione, che rende impossibile richiedere l’attività di prelievo. Prelievo+Aut.Fine Uguale al metodo di consuntivazione a ritroso, con l’eccezione che funziona solo per le ubicazioni che utilizzano stoccaggi e prelievi guidati. Il consumo viene calcolato e registrato dalla collocazione definita nel campo Cod. coll. art. per produzione nell’ubicazione o nel centro di lavoro dopo che il componente è stato prelevato dalla warehouse.

    3.11 % Scarto “ Specifica la percentuale dell’articolo che si prevede verrà scartata nel processo di produzione. Viene utilizzato per calcolare i prezzi unitari e i fabbisogni netti.”

    Se si tratta di un articolo padre, la percentuale di scarto rappresenta l’output scartato prima dello stoccaggio in magazzino. Se l’articolo è un componente, la percentuale di scarto rappresenta il consumo scartato al momento del prelievo da magazzino.

    Se si definisce una percentuale di scarto di un articolo componente, significa che saranno ritirati dal magazzino più componenti di quanti siano richiesti dall’ordine di produzione.

    Nota Lo scarto definito negli articoli componenti aumenta la quantità prelevata per il consumo. Non aumenta la quantità di output prevista dell’articolo padre.

    3.12 Dimensione Lotto (di Produzione) “Specifica quante unità dell’articolo vengono elaborate, per default, in un’unica operazione di produzione.”

    È possibile modificare la dimensione lotto nelle singole righe del ciclo o nelle singole righe del ciclo ordine di produzione (operazioni).

    La dimensione del lotto modifica il tempo di lavorazione immesso nelle righe del ciclo moltiplicando il valore nel campo Tempo lavorazione per la dimensione del lotto per riflettere, ad esempio, che ci vuole il doppio del tempo per elaborare due pezzi per operazione.

    Nota Si noti che, benché non sia un elemento temporale produttivo, anche il valore nel campo Tempo di setup nelle righe del ciclo di produzione viene moltiplicato per la

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 247 dimensione del lotto.

    Se il ciclo di produzione articolo include costi fissi, ad esempio il tempo di setup, il valore di questo campo verrà utilizzato per calco lare il costo standard e distribuire i costi fissi di produzione dell’articolo.

    3.13 Parametri generali pianificazione da Setup Manufacturing Esistono dei parametri generali di pianificazione da Setup Manufacturing.

    Sotto i principali:

    3.14 Quantità di smorzamento di default Per limitare la quantità di suggerimenti di pianificazione per le modifiche non significative degli ordini esistenti, utilizzare il campo Quantità di smorzamento di default, che è una percentuale della dimensione di lotto.

    NOTA: Questa impostazione si applica globalmente, ad eccezione degli articoli che hanno un valore diverso nel campo Quantità di smorzamento della scheda articolo.

    3.15 Periodo di stabilizzazione di default Specifica un periodo di tempo durante il quale non deve essere proposta alcuna azione di ripianificazione in avanti degli ordini di approvvigionamento esistenti.

    Il periodo di stabilizzazione limita il numero di inutili ripianificazione dell’approvvigionamento esistente a una data successiva se la nuova data è compresa nel periodo di stabilizzazione. La funzione del periodo di stabilizzazione viene avviata solo se l’approvvigionamento può essere riprogrammato a una data successiva e non se può essere riprogrammato in una data anteriore.

    Di conseguenza, se la nuova data di approvvigionamento suggerita è successiva al periodo di stabilizzazione, il suggerimento di riprogrammazione non è bloccato.

Vengono creati manualmente, come la creazione di kit per una campagna stagionale, automaticamente tramite il sistema di pianificazione per l’approvvigionamento della domanda o in base al rifornimento di magazzino. Nota Benché non sia il flusso dell’ordine di default, è possibile impostare le assemblaggio di un articolo con assemblaggio per magazzino direttamente a fronte di un ordine di vendita, ad esempio come combinare la quantità con le quantità per assemblaggio su ordine che sono già nella riga ordine di vendita. Assemblaggio su ordine Gli ordini di assemblaggio per l’articolo vengono creati in risposta a una riga di ordine di vendita e sono collegati in modo da consentire al gestore ordini di personalizzare i componenti e le risorse di assemblaggio per l’ordine di vendita. Nota Per default, l’ordine di assemblaggio collegato è stato creato per l’intera quantità della riga di vendita perché è presupposto che tutti gli articoli debbano essere assemblati. Tuttavia, è possibile modificare la quantità da assemblare, ad esempio quando si è a conoscenza che alcuni articoli sono già disponibili, diminuendo o aumentando il valore nel campo Qtà per assemblaggio su ordine sulla riga dell’ordine di vendita.

    3.17 Parametri di pianificazione Saranno spiegati i parametri di pianificazione per gli articoli.

    Sezione TAB Pianificazione

    3.18 Metodo di riordino “ Specifica il metodo di riordino. Quando le quantità devono essere rifornite, il metodo di riordino viene utilizzato per calcolare la dimensione lotto per periodo di pianificazione (intervallo di tempo).”

    Ø Qtà Riordino fissa

    Ø Qtà Massima

    Ø Ordine

    Ø Lotto per Lotto

    DETTAGLIO

    OpzioneDescrizioneQtà Riordino Fissa Utilizzare la quantità specificata nel campo Qtà di riordino come dimensione del lotto standard. È possibile che questa quantità venga modificata al fine di soddisfare ulteriori fabbisogni o il livello di magazzino specificato. Il campo di Qtà di riordino viene utilizzato per il calcolo del livello di overflow. Qtà Massima Utilizzare la quantità specificata nel campo Giacenza massima per determinare la dimensione del lotto massima. È possibile che questa quantità venga modificata al fine di soddisfare ulteriori fabbisogni o il livello di magazzino specificato. Il campo Giacenza massima viene utilizzato per il calcolo del livello di overflow. Ordine Genera un ordine per ogni fabbisogno e non utilizza il periodo di pianificazione. Viene creato un impegno automatico tra il fabbisogno e la proposta d’ordine di rifornimento corrispondente. In questo modo vengono mantenute le informazioni personalizzate sugli ordini rilevanti, che verranno collegati a scopo di inventario e costing. La creazione di un impegno manuale è un altro metodo per accantonare articoli in magazzino e definirli per l’utilizzo di un ordine specifico. Nota Il metodo correlate per gli articoli di produzione a più livelli è l’opzione Prod. su Ordine nel campo di Politica di produzione. Lotto-per-Lotto Viene generata una proposta d’ordine con una quantità in grado di soddisfare la somma dei fabbisogni che scadono nel periodo di pianificazione. Nota Utilizzando il punto di riordino con questa opzione è possibile creare proposte d’ordine di rifornimento aggiuntive (in surplus). VuotoNon calcola le proposte d’ordine per questo articolo. Occorrerà pianificare manualmente l’utilizzo di questo articolo.

    Le quantità finali della proposta d’ordine possono essere rettificate in base ai seguenti campi che determinano una modifica dell’ordine:

    • Quantità minima ordine • Quantità massima ordine • Molteplicità ordine Nota Si verifica quando si seleziona l’opzione relativa al metodo di riordino Qtà Massima. Tuttavia, se il campo Giacenza massima viene utilizzato come espressione restrittiva della capacità di magazzino massima, i campi che determinano la modifica non

    250 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) devono essere utilizzati. Se si passa a un’opzione relativa al metodo di riordino diversa, è possibile che vengano disattivati i campi di alcuni parametri di pianificazione che in precedenza erano attivi e contengono ancora gli ultimi valori utilizzati. I valori verranno ignorati dai calcoli di pianificazione.

    3.19 Pianificazione delle ubicazioni senza utilizzare USK Se si utilizza la pianificazione della domanda per un’ubicazione diversa dal campo Componenti nell’ubicazione e non si utilizzano unità di stockkeeping, verrà utilizzata l’opzione relativa al metodo di riordino Lotto-per-lotto con parametri di pianificazione vuoti. Gli articoli che utilizzano il metodo di riordino Ordine continuano a utilizzare tale metodo di riordino.

    3.20 Politica di tracciabilità 3 tipologie di tracciabilità possibile

    Ø Nessuna

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 251 3.22 Periodo di stabilizzazione Ø Input valore formula es: 7G

    Specifica un periodo di tempo durante il quale non deve essere proposta alcuna azione di ripianificazione in avanti degli ordini di approvvigionamento esistenti.

    Il periodo di stabilizzazione limita il numero di inutili ripianificazioni dell’approvvigionamento esistente a una data successiva se la nuova data è compresa nel periodo di stabilizzazione.

    La funzione del periodo di stabilizzazione viene avviata s olo se l’approvvigionamento può essere riprogrammato a una data successiva e non se può essere riprogrammato in una data anteriore. Di conseguenza, se la nuova data di approvvigionamento suggerita è successiva al periodo di stabilizzazione, il suggerimento di riprogrammazione non è bloccato.

    Informazioni aggiuntive

    Nota Se il periodo di accumulo lotti è inferiore periodo di stabilizzazione, quest’ultimo viene impostato in modo dinamico affinché corrisponda al periodo di accumulo lotti. Ciò non è indicato nel valore immesso nel campo Periodo di stabilizzazione.

    La quantità richiesta nel periodo di accumulo lotti viene utilizzata per determinare se la data di potenziale approvvigionamento rientra nel periodo di stabilizzazione.

    Nota Se questo campo è vuoto, il viene applicato il valore nel campo Periodo di stabilizzazione di default nella finestra Setup manufacturing.

    Il valore immesso nel campo Periodo di stabilizzazione deve essere una formula relativa alla data in cui un giorno (1D) corrisponde al periodo più breve consentito.

    3.23 Qtà di smorzamento (e di Default)

    Ø Valore

    Specifica una quantità di stabilizzazione per bloccare i suggerimenti di modifica non significativi per un approvvigionamento esistente se la quantità di cui l’approvvigionamento cambierebbe è inferiore a quella di stabilizzazione.

    Se la modifica di quantità suggerita è superiore alla quantità di stabilizzazione, il suggerimento non è bloccato.

    Se questo campo risulta vuoto, viene applicato il valore nel campo Quantità di smorzamento di default nella finestra Setup manufacturing.

    Questa impostazione si applica globalmente, ad eccezione degli articoli che hanno un

    252 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) valore diverso nel campo Quantità di smorzamento della scheda articolo.

    3.24 Articolo Critico Ø SI/NO

    Nel caso di componente specifica se l’articolo è da includere in “Disponibilità Calcolata” per proporre una data di consegna per l’articolo padre. Utilizzato nella procedura di promessa d’ordine ATP e CTP.

    Esempio se una lavorazione richiede un lungo tempo di lavorazione (per semilavorati), gestire semilavorati di base o materia prima critica per il padre.

    3.25 Lead Time Sicurezza Ø Definisce una formula di data per indicare un lead time di sicurezza

    Definisce una formula di data per indicare un lead time di sicurezza che può essere utilizzato come margine di tempo in caso di ritardi nel lead time di rifornimento di produzione, di assemblaggio o di acquisto.

    Ad esempio, se un fornitore consegna spesso in ritardo, definire un lead time di sicurezza per gli articoli di questo fornitore in modo che il sistema di pianificazione possa compensare i ritardi.

    Nel calcolo di righe ordine e righe di proposta d’ordine, il lead time di sicurezza viene aggiunto al lead time per gli ordini oggetto di programmazione in avanti e indietro.

    I seguenti campi delle date vengono influenzati nelle righe dell’ordine o della proposta d’ordine:

    LineeCalcolo Riga dell’ordine di produzione Data Fine + Lead time di sicurezza + Tempo gest. entrata in whse. = Data scadenza Riga ordine di assemblaggio Data Fine + Lead time di sicurezza + Tempo gest. entrata in whse. = Data scadenza Riga dell’ordine di acquisto Data carico pianificato + Lead time di sicurezza + Tempo gest. entrata in whse. = Data carico prevista Nota Il lead time di sicurezza viene ignorato tra gli articoli in un ordine di produzione a più livelli.

    Per gli ordini di trasferimento, il calcolo del lead time di sicurezza di un articolo non è incluso direttamente nel calcolo della data di carico dell’ordine di trasferimento. Il lead time di sicurezza può tuttavia influire sulla data di carico di un articolo trasferito, poiché può avere effetto su qualsiasi ordine di rifornimento in fase di acquisto o di produzione nell’ubicazione di provenienza prima dell’inizio del trasferimento.

    Se nessun valore è specificato nel campo Lead time di sicurezza, si applica qualsiasi valore definito nel campo Lead time di sicurezza di default.

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 253 3.26 Scorta Sicurezza Definisce la quantità di scorta che si desidera avere in magazzino per proteggersi da eventuali fluttuazioni a livello di domanda e fornitura che possono verificarsi durante il lead time di rifornimento per l’articolo.

    Il campo Scorta di sicurezza viene utilizzato nelle modalità descritte di seguito per i calcoli di pianificazione quando la disponibilità calcolata è inferiore alla scorta di sicurezza.

    • Viene creata una proposta d’ordine programmata all’indietro a partire della data di scadenza del fabbisogno che ha determinato il disavanzo nella disponibilità calcolata. • La quantità della proposta d’ordine riporta la disponibilità calcolata almeno al livello specificato nel campo Scorta di sicurezza. Nota La quantità della proposta d’ordine finale può essere rettificata per effetto di fabbisogni aggiuntivi che possono verificarsi all’interno dell’intervallo di tempo, per effetto del metodo di riordino e dei campi che determinano una modifica della quantità: Quantità minima ordine, Quantità massima ordine e Molteplicità ordine.

    NB: La quantità di scorte di sicurezza deve essere sempre inferiore al punto di riordino.

    Se il campo viene lasciato vuoto, la quantità della scorta di sicurezza per l’articolo verrà impostata su zero. Se si immette un valore negativo nel campo, verrà ignorato.

    Sebbene esista una scorta di sicurezza per compensare le fluttuazioni, il sistema di pianificazione potrebbe utilizzarla per soddisfare una domanda che non potrebbe essere altrimenti soddisfatta entro la data di scadenza. In tal caso, il sistema di pianificazione assicura che la scorta di sicurezza sia reintegrata suggerendo un ordine di approvvigionamento eccezionale. La riga di pianificazione relativa a tale ordine visualizza un avviso di eccezione indicante che la scorta di sicurezza è stata parzialmente o completamente consumata e deve essere ricostituita.

    3.27 Parametri Lotto-Per-Lotto Includi Giacenze

    Ø Includi giacenze (SI/NO)

    Include scorte nella disponibilità calcolata quando vengono calcolati ordini di rifornimento (nettificazione giacenza)

    Per default, questo campo è selezionato. Non è possibile modificare il contenuto del campo. Il magazzino è utilizzato normalmente per soddisfare i fabbisogni inevasi.

    Le seguenti condizioni modificano il comportamento del campo:

    254 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) • Se si specifica un metodo di riordino lotto-per-lotto del lotto-per- lotto, è possibile modificare il contenuto di questo campo. • Se si specifica un metodo di riordino ordine, il campo è vuoto. Non è possibile modificare il contenuto del campo. 3.28 Periodo accumulo lotti Ø Definisce un periodo di tempo in cui più domande sono accumulate in un ordine di approvvigionamento quando si utilizza il metodo di riordino Lotto-per-Lotto.

    Il campo Periodo di accumulo lotti contribuisce a definire il ciclo di riordino temporale della società nella pianificazione lotto-per- lotto insieme al campo Periodo di riprogrammazione.

    A partire dalla data della prima domanda, tutte le domande sono accumulate nel successivo periodo di accumulo lotto in un ordine di approvvigionamento, che viene inserito nella data della prima domanda. Le domanda esterna al periodo di accumulo lotto non è coperta dall’ordine di approvvigionamento.

    Il valore immesso nel campo Periodo di accumulo lotti deve essere una formula relativa alla data in cui un giorno (1D) corrisponde al periodo più breve.

    Nota In tutti i campi di formula di data viene automaticamente incluso un giorno per coprire la data odierna come giorno di inizio del periodo. Di conseguenza, se si immette, ad esempio, 1W, il periodo è effettivamente di otto giorni perché la data odierna è inclusa. Per specificare un periodo di sette giorni (una settimana) includendo la data di inizio del periodo, è necessario immettere 6D o 1W-1D.

    3.29 Periodo di riprogrammazione Ø Definisce un periodo in cui qualsiasi suggerimento per modificare la data di approvvigionamento consiste in un’azione Riprogramma e mai in un’azione Annulla combinata con un’azione Nuovo.

    Il campo Periodo di riprogrammazione contribuisce a definire il ciclo di riordino della società nella pianificazione lotto-per- lotto insieme al campo Periodo di accumulo lotti.

    Il periodo di riprogrammazione totale è un periodo di riprogrammazione precedente alla data di approvvigionamento esistente fino a un periodo di riprogrammazione successivo alla data di approvvigionamento esistente. Se una nuova data di approvvigionamento suggerita, in avanti o indietro nel tempo, è all’interno del periodo di riprogrammazione, il suggerimento viene riprogrammato. Se una nuova data suggerita all’esterno del periodo di riprogrammazione, il suggerimento può essere di annullare e creare un nuovo ordine di approvvigionamento.

    Il valore immesso nel campo Periodo di riprogrammazione deve essere una formula relativa alla data in cui un giorno (1D) corrisponde al periodo più breve consentito.

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 255 Nota In tutti i campi di formula di dati, viene automaticamente incluso un giorno per coprire la data odierna come giorno di inizio del periodo. Di conseguenza, se si immette, ad esempio, 1W, il periodo è effettivamente di otto giorni perché la data odierna è inclusa. Per specificare un periodo di sette giorni (una settimana) includendo la data di inizio del periodo, è necessario immettere 6D o 1W-1D.

    3.30 Parametri punti di riordino

    Parametri punto di riordino

    Punto di riordino

    Ø Specifica una quantità di scorta in modo da impostare un livello di magazzino al di sotto del quale è necessario fare rifornimento dell’articolo. È possibile equiparare la quantità del punto di riordino con la domanda prevista durante il lead time di rifornimento.

    Il campo Punto Riordino svolge il ruolo descritto di seguito nei calcoli di pianificazione quando la giacenza disponibile uguale o minore del punto di riordino.

    • Verrà creata una proposta d’ordine programmata in avanti a partire della data del fabbisogno che ha determinato il disavanzo nella disponibilità calcolata, a meno che un ordine di approvvigionamento sia già stato piazzato. • La quantità della proposta d’ordine riporterà la disponibilità calcolata almeno al livello specificato nel campo Punto riordino. • La quantità della proposta d’ordine finale può essere ulteriormente rettificata per effetto di fabbisogni aggiuntivi che possono verificarsi all’interno dell’intervallo di tempo, per effetto del metodo di riordino e dei campi che determinano una modifica della quantità: Quantità minima ordine, Quantità massima ordine e Molteplicità ordine. Nota Il punto di riordino deve essere sempre superiore alla quantità di scorte di sicurezza.

    Se il campo viene lasciato vuoto, la quantità del punto di riordino per l’articolo verrà impostata su zero. Si noti che il campo è disabilitato se si selezionano i criteri di riordino Ordine e Lotto-per-Lotto.

    256 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 3.31 Qtà di riordino Ø Specifica una quantità standard per la dimensione del lotto da utilizzare per tutte le proposte d’ordine. Tale quantità verrà utilizzata dal programma al minimo, sebbene è possibile che la quantità dell’ordine finale venga aumentata per soddisfare fabbisogni aggiuntivi o il livello di giacenza specificato.

    Questo campo è utilizzato solamente con il metodo di riordino Qtà riordino fissa. È disabilitato per tutte le altre opzioni di metodi di riordino.

    Per un risultato ottimale, impostare il campo in modo che il punto di riordino sia superiore alla scorta di sicurezza e inferiore alla quantità di riordino.

    Il campo di Qtà di riordino ricopre un ruolo nel calcolo del livello di overflow. Per ulteriori informazioni, vedere Dettagli di progettazione: Al di sotto del livello di overflow.

    3.32 Giacenza massima Ø Specifica una quantità da utilizzare come livello di magazzino massimo.

    Specifica una quantità da utilizzare come livello di magazzino massimo.

    La giacenza massima al netto della quantità della scorta di sicurezza viene utilizzata per calcolare le quantità delle proposte d’ordine.

    Nota A seconda della giacenza corrente, è possibile che vengano generate quantità di proposte d’ordine per effetto delle quali la disponibilità calcolata può superare la giacenza massima definita.

    Questo campo è utilizzato solamente con il metodo di riordino Qtà Massima. È disabilitato per tutte le altre opzioni di metodi di riordino.

    Nota Per un risultato ottimale, impostare il campo in modo che il punto di riordino sia minore della giacenza massima e maggiore della scorta di sicurezza.

    Il campo di Qtà di riordino ricopre un ruolo nel calcolo del livello di overflow. Per ulteriori informazioni, vedere Dettagli di progettazione: Al di sotto del livello di overflow.

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 257 3.33 Livello di overflow Ø Specifica una quantità in base alla quale la giacenza disponibile può superare il punto di riordino prima che il sistema suggerisca di ridurre gli ordini di approvvigionamento esistenti.

    Ø Il campo risulta utile se si desidera che il piano di approvvigionamento rimanga invariato dopo modifiche secondarie, quali l’annullamento di quantità della domanda non significative.

    Il livello del overflow è ignorato se è più basso della quantità di approvvigionamento suggerita.

    Il livello di overflow funziona solo per gli articoli che utilizzano i metodi di riordino Qtà massima o Qtà Riordino Fissa.

    Metodo di riordinoDescrizioneQtà MassimaLivello di overflow = Giacenza massima + ( Quantità minima ordine. + arrotondato alla molteplicità ordine più vicina) Qtà Riordino FissaLivello di overflow = Qtà di riordino + Punto riordino + ( Quantità minima dell’ordine + arrotondato alla molteplicità ordine più vicina)

    3.34 Intervallo di tempo Ø Specifica un periodo di tempo che definisce l’orizzonte di pianificazione ricorrente dell’articolo quando si utilizzano i metodi di riordino Qtà Riordino Fissa o Qtà Massima.

    L’intervallo di tempo definisce la frequenza di controllo se il magazzino previsto raggiunge o è inferiore al punto di riordino. Il sistema di pianificazione utilizza l’intervallo di tempo nei modi seguenti:

    • Per raggruppare i fabbisogni in scadenza nell’intervallo di tempo. • Per ripianificare potenzialmente un ordine di rifornimento in scadenza nell’intervallo di tempo per soddisfare un determinato fabbisogno. • Per determinare quando il punto di riordinare è stato superato. Se il campo viene lasciato vuoto, i fabbisogni che presentano la stessa data di scadenza verranno raggruppati.

    NotaIl campo non è disponibile se si selezionano i criteri di ordine o il metodo di riordino Lotto-per-lotto. Ogni domanda viene quindi gestita separatamente anche se altre domande condividono la stessa data.

    Il valore immesso nel campo Intervallo di tempo deve essere una formula relativa alla data in cui un giorno (1D) corrisponde al periodo più breve consentito.

    NotaIn tutti i campi di formula di dati, viene automaticamente incluso un giorno per coprire la data odierna come giorno di inizio del periodo. Di conseguenza, se si immette, ad esempio, 1W, il periodo è effettivamente di otto giorni perché la data odierna è

    258 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) inclusa. Per specificare un periodo di sette giorni (una settimana) includendo la data di inizio del periodo, è necessario immettere 6D o 1W-1D.

    3.35 Moltiplicatori ordini (per tipologie “<> Ordine”) 3.36 Qtà minina ordine Ø Definisce una quantità minima consentita per una proposta d’ordine.

    Utilizzare, ad esempio, se l’articolo è recapitato in un’unità di trasporto fissa, come un contenitore, che si desidera utilizzare completamente.

    Una volta rilevata l’esigenza di un rifornimento e rettificata la dimensione del lotto in modo da soddisfare il metodo di riordino specificato, la quantità verrà aumentata per soddisfare la quantità minima di ordine definita per l’articolo.

    Utilizzare questo campo con una politica di produzione di tipo produzione per magazzino.

    3.37 Qtà massima ordine Ø Specifica una quantità massima consentita per una proposta d’ordine.

    Utilizzare, ad esempio, se l’articolo è recapitato in un’unità di trasporto fissa, come un contenitore, che si desidera utilizzare completamente.

    Una volta rilevata l’esigenza di un rifornimento e rettificata la dimensione del lotto in modo da soddisfare il metodo di riordino specificato, la quantità viene ridotta se è necessario soddisfare la quantità massima di ordine definita per l’articolo.

    Qualora dovessero rimanere fabbisogni aggiuntivi, verranno calcolati nuovi ordini volti a soddisfarli.

    NOTA: questo campo viene in genere utilizzato con una politica di produzione di tipo “produzione per magazzino”.

    3.38 Molteplicità ordine Ø Definisce un parametro che è utilizzato dal sistema di pianificazione per modificare la quantità ordine degli ordini di approvvigionamento pianificati.

    Ø La molteplicità ordine è un numero intero che definisce la quantità in cui verrà

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 259 arrotondata la quantità ordine. La quantità ordine modificata è quindi divisibile per la molteplicità ordine.

    Esempio

    • Molteplicità ordine: 5 • Quantità ordine iniziale: 17 • Quantità ordine modificata: 20 La quantità ordine iniziale di 17 viene arrotondata al numero al più vicino divisibile per 5, ovvero 20.

    Il campo di Molteplicità ordine è utilizzato nel calcolo del livello di overflow.

    Friday, June 24, 2016 Configuring Client Timeout in NAV 2016 CU 8

    “Finally, by popular demand, we changed this in Dynamics NAV 2016 Cumulative Update 8: The “ ClientKeepAlive” setting has been moved from the user level to the service level, and is no longer defined in number of seconds but as a time interval, just like the Idle Client Timeout setting.

    To configure the timeout for the Dynamics NAV Web client, it is sufficient to configure the SessionTimeout setting in the web.config file to the relevant interval – in our example it’s 00:10:00.

    “We hope this clarifies the process for setting the timeout for the Dynamics NAV Windows client and Dynamics NAV Web client.”

    Sunday, July 24, 2016 Load Data into NAV using C/AL & Powershell

    Sample Scenario

    “Read distributed data from Sql Server and load a data warehouse using NAV C/AL with Powershell integration”

    If you need to retrieve (and aggregate) data from more than ONE company or from more than ONE database , in NAV you can use “SQL Server Views” objects mapped as “NAV

    276 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) linked objects”.

    … but if don’t want to use NAV Linked objects (SQL Tables or SQL View because is complex and time consuming to managing with many companies\many databases or because you don’t’ want to consume NAV tables for linked objects) and you don’t like “.net integrations” or utilization of external applications, you can use Powershell in NAV (and outside NAV certainly…)

    You can achieve this goal using a Hybrid Methods to load data into NAV from different sources

    • Read data from Powershell • Write Data\Processing in NAV with C/AL Coding You can use two functions by Waldo to do this:

    • Powershell Wrapper for NAV C/AL function • Invoke-NAVSQL function Scenario

    • Use good Waldo function to launch powershell fro NAV (after this you can schedule on NAV NAS load data process) – PowerShell Wrapper • Read Sql Views from Powershell using Waldo ‘ Invoke-NAVSQL’ function • Write into NAV table using C/AL logic & data validations mixing C/AL and Powershell commands. NB: Powershell consumes a concurrent user.

    Details about these good functions by Waldo

    “How-to” use powershell in NAV (NAV Powershell Wrapper)

    • look at Waldo Blog to achieve this functionality http://www.waldo.be/2014/12/17/running-powershell-from-nav/ • Download module here http://mibuso.com/downloads/running-powershell-in-nav • “It’s basically a wrapper to easily use “ System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.Runspace” and “ System.Management.Automation.PowerShell”. “How- to” load data into NAV with Powershell? (Invoke-NAVSQL)

    • You can use Waldo function “ Invoke-NAVSQL” (function is similar to existing function part of the SQLPS module) • “Invoke-NAVSQL”: Execute SQL queries on NAV databases with PowerShell • http://www.waldo.be/2016/06/08/invoke-navsql-execute-sql-queries-on-nav- databases-with-powershell/ • Download function here: https://github.com/waldo1001/Cloud.Ready.Software.PowerShell/blob/master/PSMo dules/Cloud.Ready.Software.NAV/SQL/Invoke-NAVSQL.ps1 Example

    Get all companies, and get the customers of the first company:

    $Mycompanies = Invoke-NAVSql -ServerInstance ‘dynamicsNAV90’ -SQLCommand ‘Select * From Company’

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 277 $Customers = $Mycompanies |

    select -First 1 |

    foreach{ Invoke-NAVSQL -ServerInstance ‘dynamicsNAV90’ -SQLCommand “select * from [$($_.Name)$(‘$Customer’)]” -ShowWriteHost }

    Wednesday, July 27, 2016 NAV 2013 SQL Query Codeunit tool

    i found this nice demo tool by Dynamic Manufacturing Solutions on Mibuso.

    Source http://mibuso.com/downloads/nav-2013-sql-query-codeunit nice tool, based on .NET integration (AD), usefull if you don’t like Powershell.

    Purpose of this tool “Simple codeunit allows you to execute an SQL query to populate any NAV (temporary) table using one call. Test page is included to demonstrate functionality with a simple query.”

    … Nice tool (with demo page & codeunit objects) tu run SQL Statements directly from NAV using .NET integration (ADODB); you can run SQL Select statements and any sql commands (if you have rights).

    Modifications

    I did some modifications to load a generic table using dynamics fields.. example field1. field2, fiels3 etc. and possibility lo load a saved SQL Statement from “.SQL” Script file or from BLOB field in “SQL Commands Table” etc. ..

    Example of utilization ..you can retrieve Intercompany “Contacts” running a simple “SELECT with UNION SQL statement”…

    278 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) .. also you can publish this page “as a web service” to retrive\expose data from multi- sources database using only a web service connection!

    SIMPLE QUERY SELECT SUM(Quantity) AS QuantityTot, [Item No_], [Location Code], [Lot No_], [Serial No_] FROM dbo.[CRONUS Italia S_p_A_$Item Ledger Entry] GROUP BY [Item No_], [Location Code],[Lot No_],[Serial No_] HAVING ([Location Code]<>” AND (SUM(Quantity)) >0)

    MORE COMPLEX QUERY WITH HAVING FILTERS SELECT SUM(Quantity) AS Field1, [Item No_] as Field2, [Location Code] as Field3, [Lot No_] as Field4, [Serial No_] as Fileld5 FROM dbo.[CRONUS Italia S_p_A_$Item Ledger Entry] GROUP BY [Item No_], [Location Code],[Lot No_],[Serial No_] HAVING ([Location Code]<>” AND (SUM(Quantity)) >0)

    SQL STATEMENT TO “CREATE A NEW TABLE” CREATE ACTIVITY 2 TABLE CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CRONUS Italia S_p_A_$Activity_2]( [timestamp] [timestamp] NOT NULL, [Code] nvarchar NOT NULL, [Description] nvarchar NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [CRONUS Italia S_p_A_$Activity$10] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [Code] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY]

    ANY SQL COMMAND EX BACKUP….. etc. etc.

    Great tool!

    If some of your customers asks you to gain access to SQL data directly from NAV (as other systems with integrated query editors..) can use this nice tool to run SQL queries (or others T-SQL statements…). This tools recalls some typical features of SQL Studio Management studio like Visual SQL Query Designer; currently is available in 2 releases (VB.NET and C #), i tested the C# solution that works well.

    Tool is under “ CPOL Licence”

    “Source Code can be modified to create derivative works”, … you can modify the solution’s source to create derivates. For example you can create a class for NAV .NET integration or create anaddin for RTC Client, the tool also can be used directly by calling him from Wshell in NAV (.EXE); you can however also pilot the numbers of records extracted etc. etc. .. nice tool anyway.

    you are welcome ! Word Layout reports data control by C/AL

    Thursday, August 11, 2016

    Some have asked me (both on Dynamics Community and Mibuso) how to use in NAV Word Layout reports property to hide the value 0 or other values in fields under conditions.

    Sample of question: “I have made a report in NAV 2016 using Word and XML. Everything is very well, but I have one problem. When “quantity” is added to the report, writes NAV “0” in all cells with no information. In the attached picture saying “with error” you can see That the “quantity” cell with no information is filled with “0”.”

    Question ref. http://forum.mibuso.com/discussion/67111/nav-2016-word-report-is- generating-extra-0 Answer “ No, only in C / SIDE in this case (simple common solution), the use in this way (no logic in Word, all in C (SIDE) .. but .. i think That you can create functions in Word (macro) ,in word template. you can modify XML an add also Javascript support… an so on..”

    Some functions can be used with C / AL With these sample functions you can simulate what is done by the visibility property of the RDLC report or by VBNET Functions included in the report (Public Functions on CODE section of reports).

    in this section you can find a nice post by NAV Team blog about “ cached web services calls”:

    Abstract In a service-oriented deployment, web services are used to extend NAV’s functionality and reach. Depending on how volatile this data is and the corresponding usage scheme, it is expected to be up-to-date within a pre-defined period of time (e.g. once a day).

    286 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Description When NAV is integrated with external services, then the user scenarios become dependent on the data and functions offered by such services. Eventually, there are different approaches through which the external data can be retrieved, stored and used.

    • Dynamic: either exposed by the external service itself or by a separate catalog that NAV can query. Advantage: data is always up-to-date • Disadvantage: it requires constant connection to the data source. • Static: hard-coded in the database for the user to benefit from. Advantage: data is promptly available when needed. • Disadvantage: if data changes at some point, it will require a maintenance effort, which exposes the business process to a risk of failure. • Cached: offered through an external service and gets pulled according to a pre- defined refresh rate or manually. Advantage: data is ‘up-to-date’ within the rules acceptable by the business process, without extra load on the network resources or the external service. • Disadvantage: if data changes while the auto-refresh did not happen yet, the user may not have access to the latest data; however, the user can manually force a refresh of the data, if asked to do so. When to Use It Offer data in lookups that were cached from an external service.

    Does anyone know how to create a new record of notification by programming ?

    What table should you create the record ?

    If i look on pages, the part is a system part of notications id.

    Great C/AL FunctionSolution by Piero Giacomelli here:

    Example:

    “i need on the table NC header to create a notification everytime the user generate a new non conformal product.

    here is my piece of code that works like a charm into a codeunit”

    Codeunit

    LenChar := STRLEN(_Note);

    _RecRef.GETTABLE(pNCHeader);

    NewID := _RecRef.ADDLINK(GETURL(CLIENTTYPE::Current, COMPANYNAME, OBJECTTYPE::Page, PAGE::”NC Header”, pNCHeader));

    RecordLink.GET(NewID);

    RecordLink.CALCFIELDS(Note);

    RecordLink.Note.CREATEOUTSTREAM(OStream);

    SystemUTF8Encoder := SystemUTF8Encoder.UTF8Encoding;

    SystemByteArray := SystemUTF8Encoder.GetBytes(_Note);

    x := SystemByteArray.Length DIV 128;

    IF x > 1 THEN

    y := SystemByteArray.Length – 128 * (x – 1)

    ELSE

    y := SystemByteArray.Length;

    c1 := y;

    OStream.WRITE(c1);

    IF x > 0 THEN BEGIN

    c2 := x;

    OStream.WRITE(c2);

    290 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) END;

    FOR i := 0 TO SystemByteArray.Length – 1 DO BEGIN c1 := SystemByteArray.GetValue(i);

    OStream.WRITE(c1);

    END;

    RecordLink.Type := RecordLink.Type::Note;

    RecordLink.Notify := _Notify;

    RecordLink.”To User ID” := USERID;

    RecordLink.Created := CURRENTDATETIME;

    RecordLink.Company:= COMPANYNAME;

    RecordLink.MODIFY;

    The parameters are

    Var Name DataType Subtype Length

    No pNCHeader Record NC Header

    No _Descritption Text 250

    No _Note Text 127

    No _Notify Boolean

    No _USERID Code 20

    The local variables are

    Name DataType Subtype Length

    LenChar Integer

    NewID Integer

    RecordLink Record Record Link

    OStream OutStream

    _RecRef RecordRef

    Wednesday, October 19, 2016 hi Readers,

    some people have asked me again If the preview of Dynamics 365 Financials is still available and if it is constantly updated … of course, sure … you can access (or register) using the old link about Project Madeira preview.

    … For countries that can access the preview (testing countries) you can sign up at this address: Dynamics 365 Financials Preview (formerly Project Madeira) https://madeira.microsoft.com try the preview button https://portal.office.com/signup?sku=6a4a1628-9b9a-424d-bed5- 4118f0ede3fd&ru=https%3A%2F%2Fportal.projectmadeira.com%2F%3FredirectedFrom Signup%3D1

    Dynamics 365 Financials Preview link (after registration\authentication) https://msp882270.projectmadeira.com/MS/WebClient/

    … For countries rather than can not do, however, it has an ability to register before a user uses to Office 365 USA and then use it to sign up to the preview of Dynamics 365 Financials,.. to achieve this goal use this workaround by Waldo (follow it step by step..)

    ..anf after this steps you can correctly sign-in to Dynamics 365 Financials Preview link https://msp882270.projectmadeira.com/MS/WebClient/

    Saturday, October 29, 2016 Microsoft Flow Preview Microsoft Definition: “Microsoft Flow is a “brand new” SaaS offering, available today in preview, for automating workflows across the growing number of applications and SaaS services that business users rely on.”

    Integrations: In the preview of Microsoft Flow Microsoft provide native and Cloud Based integration both for NAV 2017 throughout the entire Dynamics 365 platform.

    I consider it very interesting and useful because until not long ago, there was a solution called “Business Notification Manager” (available from NAV 4..NAV 2009, then abandoned as then also happened to Employ Portal, Commerce Gateway, etc.) which could be used to manage a small workflow regarding only the “ notification of events” without the need to write one line of code to handle it. “Business Notification Manager” : this feature Allows you to automatically send emails to your employees and business partners Informing them of business events.”

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 301 He was using the logic “IF Trigger Fired THE Action..” the same used both NAV Workflow that Microsoft Flow (in this case born in the Cloud world).

    Tuesday, November 01, 2016

    hi guys, this is another short post of my “ ALL About” posts series (the first of this year); in this case i want to write about “ C/AL Coding Rules and Guidelines”.

    304 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) below a short list of documents\pages about this topic,

    First “ ALL IN ONE” Document but “ ALWAYS” useful is: “ C/AL Coding Guidelines used at Microsoft Development Center Copenhagen” …” The Bible” for each C/AL Developer!

    Source: C/AL Coding Guidelines used at Microsoft Development Center you can download PDF document here: cal-coding-guidelines-at-microsoft-development- center-copenhagen

    “ALL IN ONE” Document Vs Wiki & Community Feedback Philosophy

    “ CAL-Coding-Guidelines-at-Microsoft-Development-Center-Copenhagen.pdf” is “all in one document”. In contrast, on this wiki, the coding guidelines are published individually. The reason is: give you the chance to comment and share your oppinion on each one.

    Question: Since we’re having the guidelines, how come there is still C/AL code in NAV which doesn’t respect them?

    Answer: all new C/AL code is bound to follow the guidelines (else it cannot be checked- in). However, the code that existed before the rules – it does not. We had done cleanup in a certain degree. Now we’re gradually improving the old code base as we visit various objects in order to add new functionality, however chances are that code we didn’t touch in a long time had remained in its old form.

    Friday, November 04, 2016 in this short post, i will talk about a new feature of NAV 2017: “Assisted Setup”.

    “ Assisted setup” is a nice feature (composed by a lot of wizards ready to use..) useful to guide your users through setup scenarios. With this feature is possible: – use a predefined set of data to setup main features (for selected areas) – have a great first setup configuration for your new company (enhanche first-time experience)

    List of some wizards ready to use: – Setup Company (Configurator for first one access) – Approval workflow – Item Approval – Power Bi embedded configutation (Azure directory) – Setup Reporting – Office 365 integration – Dynamis CRM connection – email logging etc. etc.

    My example: “Setup Reporting” “ Setup Reporting” is a nice feature (wizard) to configure OData with fields selections, all in only “one shot” configuration. Definition\Scope: “you can create data sets for building report in excel, Power Bi, Odata..” below some “step by step” pictures.

    Friday, November 04, 2016 In this post i will write about “ NAV 2017 Task Scheduler”, NAV 2017 Task Scheduler is an evolution of Job Queue Technology (ex Process Queue, Microsoft returned to old name for name for Job Queue..); Microsoft has reviewed\improved\extended the old Job Queue Technology and now Task Sheduler is a great new feature ready for “ Complex Scheduling” useful in various scenarios.

    MSDN Definition: “The task scheduler enables you to control when certain operations or processes (in other words tasks) are run . Basically, a task is a codeunit or report that is scheduled to run at a specific data and time. Tasks run in a background session between the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance and database . Behind the scenes, the task scheduler is used by the job queue to process job queue entries that are created and managed from the clients.”

    Source https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/task-scheduler

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 309 How “New Task Scheduler System” works

    Now we have a new option in NST: “Task Scheduler enabled” option; when a task is executed, the task is not visible in sessions list (is a background session).

    “ Task Scheduler enabled” option says to NST to start a background session for each task that needs to be executed at scheduled time. After the execution of task is completed, the background session is closed (no more phantom\pending sessions to kill by SQL jobs !)

    Another useful option on NST permit to define how many simultaneous tasks can be executed by NST at the same time (parallel execution on NST). Killing a session will not stop all other tasks that need to be executed (..a different pipeline for each task execution)

    “Task Scheduler Technology” Objects involved

    • Table 2000000175 Scheduled Task (Show list of scheduled task)

    • Table 2000000111 Session Event (Show list of active background sessions started for each running task) “Job queue” Codeunits

    310 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Below Some Details of New Task Scheduler Feature

    C/AL Code and Task Scheduler

    In C/AL code, you create and manage tasks by using the C/AL functions that are available for the TASKSCHEDULER data type.

    Task Scheduler Data Type

    The TaskScheduler data type is a complex data type for creating and managing tasks in the task scheduler, which runs codeunits at scheduled times.

    “ALL” Task Scheduler Functions

    FunctionDescriptionCREATETASK Adds a task to run a codeunit at a specified date and time. SETTASKASREADY Sets a task to the Ready state. A task cannot run until it is Ready. TASKEXISTS Checks whether a specific task exists. CANCELTASK Cancels a scheduled task.

    “How “ Task Scheduler Works

    To set up a task, you create a codeunit that contains the logic that you want to run at a scheduled time. Optionally, you can create a second codeunit that contains the logic to handle the task if an error occurs for any reason. This coduenit is referred to as a failure codeunit. Once you have the codeunits, you can add C/AL code to the application that calls the CREATETASK function to schedule a task to run the codeunits. The CREATETASK function can also specify the earliest date to run the task, and whether the task is in the ready state.

    Task Scheduling “Flow”

    Here is an overview of the process that a task goes through:

    1. After you add a task, the task is recorded in table 2000000175 Scheduled Task of the database. 2. If the task is in the ready state, when the scheduled time occurs, a new background session is started and the task codeunit is run. You can view the session in the table 2000000111 Session Event.

    If an error occurs, the following happens:

    • If a failure codeunit is not specified, then the retry flow is initiated. • If a failure codeunit has been specified, the error is passed in a call to the failure codeunit, and the failure codeunit is run. • If the failure codeunit does not handle the error or fails itself, then the retry flow is initiated. Error Conditions and Retry Process

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 311 A task can fail under the following conditions:

    • The company cannot be opened. • An SQL connection or transient error occurred with the database. • The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance restarted while the task was being run. When an error occurs, unless the task is interrupted by the failure codeunit, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance will rerun the task according to the following flow: • You can view these errors in the event log of the computer that is running the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance. • Two minutes after the first failure • Four minutes after the second failure • Fifteen minutes after the third failure and subsequent failures. About Task Sessions and Permissions

    The task runs in a background session, which means that there is no user interface. The behavior is similar to that of the STARTSESSION function, where any dialog boxes that would normally appear are suppressed. For more information about specific dialog boxes, see STARTSESSION Function (Sessions).

    The session runs by using the same user/credentials that are used when calling C/AL code. The user must have appropriate permissions to the codeunit and any other objects that are associated with the operation of the codeunit.

    Examples

    Create Task Function

    Adds a task to run a codeunit at a specific time.

    Syntax

    [Task =: ]CREATETASK(CodeunitId, FailureCodeunitId[, IsReady][, Company][, NotBefore][, RecordID])

    Example

    The following example schedules a task to run the Job Queue Dispatcher and uses codeunit Job Queue Error Handler as the failure codeunit. The code requires that you create the following C/AL variable.

    VariableDataTypeSubType JobQueueEntry Record Job Queue Entry

    C/AL Statement

    TASKSCHEDULER.CREATETASK(CODEUNIT::”Job Queue Dispatcher”, CODEUNIT::”Job Queue Error Handler”, TRUE, COMPANYNAME, CURRENTDATETIME + 1000 + RANDOM(3000), JobQueueEntry.RECORDID);

    Monday, December 12, 2016 Hi Guys, another post of “ALL About” Series, in this case, some people have asked me about NAV configuration and how to configure NAV Server for better performance (Boosting NAV..); also in Microsoft Forum there are several posts about this topic, i searched and collected a variety of useful information for a correct NAV Server configuration. Documents and Posts “Great White Paper” about typical questions around the number of users or tenants, hardware requirements, scaling, and upgrading -> “…How to have a great configuration and “How-to Boost NAV”!! “This white paper provides detailed insight into the concepts and principles that support performance testing in Microsoft Dynamics NAV”. By outlining some sample goals from the start, it explains how you can use load testing to optimize your application and hardware to meet the customer and user requirements – addressing typical questions around the number of users or tenants, hardware requirements, scaling, and upgrading” Microsoft Dynamics NAV Performance Testing – White Paper http://www.archerpoint.com/sites/default/files/docs/ms-dynamics-nav-peformance-testing- wp.pdf Below some useful information about NAV Server Configuration.NAV Server Configuration Best Practices (from Whitepaper) 1) Number of Microsoft Dynamics NAV Service Tiers

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 317 When a client connects to Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server, the load balancer will select a server and keep the connection open throughout the lifetime of the client. This means that setting up more servers behind a load balancer will increase the capacity of the cluster of Microsoft Dynamics NAV Service tiers. 2) Server Memory Each Microsoft Dynamics NAV Service tier needs 500Mb of memory to run. On top of that, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Service tier needs memory for each active session, even if they are idle. The more pages the user have opened, the more memory gets allocated, but a good starting point for doing sizing calculations is around 10Mb per active session. Idle sessions are not terminated if they are running the Windows client. Server CPU (cores and speed) Faster CPU will get things done faster, and more cores can run more things in parallel. Idle sessions on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Service tier don’t use any CPU power, except for generic housekeeping, which shouldn’t be counted. 3) Server CPU (cores and speed) Faster CPU will get things done faster, and more cores can run more things in parallel. Idle sessions on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Service tier don’t use any CPU power, except for generic housekeeping, which shouldn’t be counted. Active sessions will use CPU power depending on what they do, but it is hard to generalize how much. For example, CPU power is used whenever the user is performing a task that requires the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Service tier to run some business logic or perform some UI logic or setup server pages. If the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Service tier does a lot of IO (SQL calls or client callbacks), then the CPU will be waiting for response and thus be loaded less. 4) Data Cache Size This is a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server setting, which located in CustomSettings.config file. Sets the data cache size. This is an abstract value with contextual meaning on the type of the item being cached. The number you specify in DataCacheSize setting determines how much memory is used for caching data. The actual amount of memory (in MB) allocated is 2n, where n is the value of the DataCacheSize setting: Value Memor y 9 (default) 512Mb 10 1Gb 11 2Gb 12 4Gb 13 8Gb 14 16Gb 15 32Gb … When running a single tenant system the default value of 9 is probably good. When running a multi-tenant system, the data cache is shared between all tenants. Set to 0 to disable cache. 5) Metadata Provider Cache Size This is a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server setting, which located in CustomSettings.config file. Sets the Metadata Provider cache size (in number in objects cached). Set to 0 to disable cache. You can monitor the number of objects in the metadata cache by monitoring the following

    318 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) performance counter on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Service tier. There is really NO REASON not to set this to a high value (like 10000) if you are not pressed on memory on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server. 6) Max Concurrent Calls This is a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server setting, which is located in CustomSettings.config file. Maximum number of concurrent client calls that can be active on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server. To disable this setting set the value to “MaxValue”. The number specified here determines how many concurrent calls the Service Tier is able to handle. The more cores in your server, the higher this value can be.

    Thursday, December 29, 2016 Dynamics NAV in Remote App Mode

    Some people have asked me information on how to use the NAV Windows Client (ex RTC) in remote app mode. This environment can be useful for those still using the NAV Windows Client (in a few years I think that you will only use the Web Client or NAV in SaaS Mode). In various forums there are many posts about this topic, I bring my personal experience about this topic.

    About my Experience I use it for many years and I must say that it works well, the published NAV Windows Clients (ex RTC) in remote app is very light and the band occupied is very low. For example: it allows quickly to activate NAV in foreign branches without installing anything and without worrying too much about internet bandwidth etc. etc.

    322 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Points of Strenghts – Don’t install anything on the client, just deploy the application icon or to give access to a portal (gateway remote app like in the picture) – is also usable on PCs with XP window (…), I don’t buy new PC if I don’t need high performance – The occupied bandwidth is really little, similar to other remote application tools) (when the local NAV Client is slow, via remote app however can be fast… – Compared to the standard terminal server is much less invasive, user uses only what has been published, not everything a remote desktop. – I can also use it in VPN (if I do not want to publish on the internet) – I can use all NAV versions starting at 4.0 SP1.

    Points of Weakness – if you are using Word Layout, Word must be installed on the remote server or you cannot print (ex: errors with Post & Print function) – Sometimes the NAV session is not closed on the server (even if it is closed on the client) – Copy and Paste operations are more harder bur possible. – If you don’t want to use a VPN , you need to use applications published on the Internet Gateway (… is the same situation with Azure and endpoints) – Today is considered “old technology”, not web based and oriented.

    Have a nice new Year 2017 ! How To setup “Keep Alive Interval” setting NAV2...

    Thursday, January 05, 2017 Many posts in forums about this topic; some people report that Idle Client Timeout configured in NAV Administration is not working. Example of scenario: “Users logs in to the Navision by windows client installed on their PC but after setting idle client timeout session for 3 minutes then also it does not log off after 30 minutes also.” or Automatically Idle Client Timeout – NAV2016 – doesn’t work! http://forum.mibuso.com/discussion/66081/automatically-idle-client-timeout-nav2016- doesnt-work

    History of ClientKeepAlive setting Since the October 2015 cumulative updates, the Dynamics NAV Windows client timeout configuration was managed at the service level by setting the Idle Client Timeout setting.

    “The October 2015 cumulative updates added a new setting: “ ClientKeepAlive”. This setting is managed at the user level and located in the ClientUserSettings.config file.

    The value of this setting is given in seconds and defines the interval between ‘pulse’ signals sent by the client to prevent the client from going idle in some scenarios, or for some users.

    ClientKeepAlive: about this setting

    1. In the server configuration file, set Idle Client Timeout to 00:10:00 2. In the client configuration file, set ClientKeepAlive to any value larger than 600 This value is in seconds, so 600 equals 10 minutes. Microsoft, by popular demand, changed in Dynamics NAV 2016 Cumulative Update 8: The ClientKeepAlive setting has been moved from the user level to the service level: “Keep Alive Interval “, and is no longer defined in number of seconds but as a time interval, just like the Idle Client Timeout setting.”

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 325 Keep Alive Interval : about this setting

    So following our example above, to configure a timeout interval for the Dynamics NAV Windows client to 10 minutes, in Dynamics NAV 2016 Cumulative Update 8 and later, you must set the following:

    1. In the server configuration file, set Idle Client Timeout to 00:10:00 2. In the server configuration file, set Keep Alive Interval to a value larger than 00:10:00 PS: If you are running on a NAV 2016 build earlier then CU 8, your clientkeepalive settings will still be located Client side, in ClientUserSettings.config

    Web Client “To configure the timeout for the Dynamics NAV Web client, it is sufficient to configure the SessionTimeout setting in the web.config file to the relevant interval – in our example it’s 00:10:00.”

    PS: Check your NAV Release and build for correct configuration!

    Saturday, January 21, 2017 Force logins limitations for some users can boost\improve system (few active Sessions..) as standard users can login in NAV multiple times, ex of real Scenario: CEO can have multiple logins, operational people NO !!

    NAV 2013 and Later

    From NAV 2013 Microsoft created a table named: Active Sessions –Table ID 2000000110 This table contains information about all the active sessions, showing Connected Client Type\PC and Users)

    Take a look to my previous post about “ALL ABOUT” Kill (In)active Sessions when “no more licenses”, with the VB.NET app in this post, you can show Client Type\PC and Connected User from this app to decide “who is the user” than try to use more than one NAV session.

    Source https://robertostefanettinavblog.wordpress.com/2017/01/15/all-about-kill-inactive- sessions-when-no-more-licenses/

    Starting from User Setup Table

    You can add a boolean field “ Multilogin” to User Setup Table (table 91)” ; with this boolean field you can check if user can login more times in NAV instead of only one time.

    User Setup – Table ID 91 User Setup

    330 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Before you need to add the new field “ Multilogin” on Page “ User Setup” (…or comment C/AL check code… you can’t login in anyway if you haven’t configured your user in this table)

    ..We can’t use System Table User.. because is used by System on Login process .. if you try to use this table you can’t start Windows Client…

    To Restrict multiple logins we can use Login Codeunit

    Codeunit 40 – LogInManagement

    This codeunit is ht first fired on Login Time and I can add C/AL code here to trap user logins. Steps: Open Codeunit 40, goto function CompanyOpen()

    In CompanyOpen function add two new local variables: locUser and locActiveSessione

    Modify the CompanyOpen function in this way:

    C/AL Code “Before”

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 331 CompanyOpen()

    IF GUIALLOWED THEN LogInStart; C/AL Code “After”

    CompanyOpen()

    locUser.GET(UPPERCASE(USERID));

    IF NOT locUser.Multilogin THEN

    BEGIN

    locActiveSession.RESET;

    locActiveSession.SETRANGE(“User ID”,UPPERCASE(USERID));

    locActiveSession.SETRANGE(“Client Type”, locActiveSession.”Client Type”::”Windows Client”); //For RTC\Windows Clients

    IF locActiveSession.COUNT > 1 THEN

    ERROR(‘You are currently logged in NAV, you can’t have more sessions!’);

    END;

    IF GUIALLOWED THEN

    LogInStart;

    // Register all Microsoft Dynamics CRM connection strings

    IF CRMConnectionSetup.GET THEN

    CRMConnectionSetup.UpdateAllConnectionRegistrations;

    Results

    System abort login codeunit and display the Error Message “’You are currently logged in NAV, you can’t have more sessions!”; you can use\trap also others login types: ex: Web Client, Web Service, Background Sessions and so on.

    332 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Another Nice Feature

    You can decide also “how many sessions” each user can launch adding a “ No. Sessions” field in User Table.

    C/AL Code

    CompanyOpen() locUser.GET(UPPERCASE(USERID));

    IF NOT locUser.Multilogin THEN

    BEGIN locActiveSession.RESET; locActiveSession.SETRANGE(“User ID”,UPPERCASE(USERID)); locActiveSession.SETRANGE(“Client Type”, locActiveSession.”Client Type”::”Windows Client”); //For RTC\Windows Clients

    IF locActiveSession.COUNT > 1 THEN

    ERROR(‘You are currently logged in NAV, you can’t have more sessions!’);

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 333 END

    ELSE

    BEGIN

    locActiveSession.RESET;

    locActiveSession.SETRANGE(“User ID”,UPPERCASE(USERID));

    locActiveSession.SETRANGE(“Client Type”, locActiveSession.”Client Type”::”Windows Client”); //For RTC\Windows Clients

    IF locActiveSession.COUNT > locUser.”No. Sessions” THEN

    ERROR(‘You are currently logged in NAV, you can’t have more than ‘ + FORMAT(locActiveSession.COUNT-1) + ‘ sessions!’);

    END;

    Bingo ! “How-to” implement a Copy Loop in Word report l...

    Tuesday, January 24, 2017 “How-to” implement a Copy Loop in Word report layouts

    Some time ago, I found this post on Microsoft Dynamics Community about: “No. of Copies” doesn’t work in Word Layout reports, “No. of Copies” works only on RDLC reports.

    334 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) image005 image006

    Example:

    Report 1306 Standard Sales – Invoice, “N. Copies” on request page

    Post Topic

    “Hi experts,

    I had to produce a report via Word layout in NAV 2015 and it had the “No. of Copies” option on the request page. However, this option doesn’t have any effect on the word report and it only prints one copy. If required to print more copies, the user has to either save or preview the word report and then do it as if from a word document.

    Will the option “No. of Copies” only works for RDLC reports or is there a way I can get it working on the word layout as well?

    Your comments/help will be much appreciated.

    Thanks & Regards.”

    Post Source https://community.dynamics.com/nav/f/34/p/215054/602685#602685

    My Answer …after some tests:

    “Hi, you are right!… “No. of Copies” doesn’t work in Word Layout report! .. after this i

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 335 asked (some days ago) to NAV Team for a product improvementworkaround.”

    Product Suggestion

    “N. of copies” with Word Layout Reports.

    I know that the option “No. of Copies” works only for RDLC reports (by design i think, this option is not existing on Mini World layout sample Reports) or is there a way i can get it working on the word layout as well?

    If a user, either required printing more copies, this user has to “ save” or “ preview” the word report and then do it as if from a word document.

    May be useful for “ Post and Print” feature (“ to print more copies.”..)

    You can find my Product Suggestion here:

    https://connect.microsoft.com/dynamicssuggestions/Feedback/Details/3118831

    @Today, Solution is delivered by NAV Team Blog

    “Because many partners asked to have this feature, an official solution (by my friend Duilio Tacconi of Microsoft) is today available. I tested this solution in preview before the post was published n NAV Team Blog, is a nice workaround, useful for “ Post & Print” feature.

    Friday, February 03, 2017 ..most viewed post about SCM.,, “nice” to reblog.

    Roberto Stefanetti NAV Blog

    SCM (Source Control Management) with NAV do you need to use NAV with SCM (Source control Management) integration ?

    …you can use two applications to reach this goal.

    – Visual Studio Online (and team foundation server) (free for 5 users) https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-team-services-pricing-vs.aspx

    – GIT (free and open source) https://www.git-scm.com/about/free-and-open-source

    You can find a script on codeplex for using GIT and NAV (integration with TFS and GIT) …. and Others nice free scripts at links below (always on codeplex repository)

    1) NAV Powershell scripts and TFS Build Template https://navscripts.codeplex.com/

    2) TFS Build Template for GIT repository https://navscripts.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=TFS%20Build%20Template&referringTitle =Home

    Some parts of the scripts are based on work (Waldo) see http://www.waldo.be/tag/powershell/

    Some parts are based on PowerShell scripts from module “Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Ide” made by Microsoft people.

    View original post PRODUCTION ORDERS IN NAV

    Tuesday, February 07, 2017 Roberto Stefanetti NAV Blog

    PRODUCTION ORDERS IN NAV …a short guide about NAV Production Orders, based on MSDN Online NAV help.

    PRODUCTION ORDER PURPOSE General Definiton : “Production Order – an order that initiates the manufacturing process”

    Wikipedia Defintion: “ A production order is an order issued within a company to produce a specific quantity of material within a certain timeframe. A production order may be issued pursuant to a sales order, and its issuance triggers a number of events. If components in the bill of materials are in stock, reservations are generated for those items; if they are not in stock, then requisition orders may be generated. Requisition orders may also be generated for production that occurs externally to the firm. Planned costs for the order are also generated and capacity requirements are generated for the work centers.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_order

    NAV PERSPECTIVE: “Produc tion orders are the central components of the Microsoft Dynamics…

    Wednesday, February 08, 2017 “How to” print reports to PDF and send email

    Hi guys, another post about my “How to” posts series.

    340 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) In this case, I want to talk about thistopic: “How to” print reports to PDF and send mail; we can have some methods to achieve this goal, with NAV 2017, NAV 2016 and with old NAV releases.

    First Scenario: “How to” print reports to PDF

    Schedule a report to print to PDF Format

    1) “HOW TO” PRINT REPORTS TO PDF FORMAT

    WITH NAV 2016 and mailing & sending documentsprocess

    “In NAV 2016 managing mailing & sending documentsprocess has been improved. Compared to the NAV 2015 version, you can send documents to printer, via email and via EDI in a single operation; you can set a default “document sending template” for each customer. For this purpose new NAV objects have been introduced.”

    Look at my old post here: https://robertostefanettinavblog.com/2016/05/30/nav-2016- documents-sending-objects-features/

    WITH NAV 2017 and NST Reports Parameters

    With NAV 2017, we can use NST Reports Parameters to activate “SAVEAS” function to produce reports in PDF format, we can schedule a report with PDF Output using SAVEAS function in report scheduling.

    To achieve this gold you need only to:

    Activate SAVEAS function in NST report section

    Schedule a report in task scheduler

    Configure the Output Layout for report

    Example:

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 341 Look at my old post here NAV 2017 Task Scheduler https://robertostefanettinavblog.com/2016/11/04/nav-2017-task-scheduler/

    and look at section of post: “JOB QUEUE” IMPROVEMENTS

    NST Reporting Parameters (nice for activate “ SAVEAS” function for reporting scheduling)

    Sample of Report Scheduling

    image003 image006

    WITH OLD NAV RELEASES

    ..but for older releases of NAV we need to produce a PDF Output using SAVEAS function after report printing, we haven’t report parameter optionrequest page available in older releases.

    To achieve this gold you need only to:

    Activate SAVEAS function in report

    Schedule a report in task scheduler

    NAV 2013 SAMPLE REPORT TO CREATE PDF IN BATCH MODE (in this case using

    342 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) report 206 Sales Posted Invoice)

    Scenario

    Generate PDF report with SAVEAS feature

    Schedule this report on Job queue

    SAVEASPDF Function (Report) [Ok :=] REPORT.SAVEASPDF(Number, FileName[, Record]) OR

    [Ok :=] ReportVariable.SAVEASPDF(FileName)

    “When you call SAVEASPDF, the report is generated and saved to “ FileName.” A Saving to PDF window shows the status of the process. Note that the request page will not be shown.

    The FileName parameter specifies a location on the computer that is running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server. “

    Source MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd301166(v=nav.70).aspx

    Example

    Filename := ‘C:MyReportsreport206Demo.pdf’;

    ReturnValue := Report.SAVEASPDF(206, Filename, record);

    Sample of PDF generator batch

    Codeunit CreatePDFFromPostedInvoices()

    CreatePDFFromPostedInvoices()

    // READING ALL POSTED INVOICES TO PRINT PDF REPORTS

    SalesInvoiceHeader.RESET;

    SalesInvoiceHeader.SETRANGE(“PDF Generated”, FALSE);

    IF SalesInvoiceHeader.FINDSET THEN BEGIN

    REPEAT

    Filename:= SalesInvoiceHeader.”No.” + ‘.PDF’;

    Report.SAVEASPDF(206, Filename, SalesInvoiceHeader); //PDF CREATED BY SAVEAS FUNCTION

    UNTIL SalesInvoiceHeader.NEXT = 0;

    END;

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 343 2) “HOW TO” EMAILING PDF REPORTS

    Second Scenario: “How to” emailing PDF reports

    Ø Send generated PDF reports via email

    Sendmail with NAV SMTP Sendmail Codeunit (NAV .NET integration)

    To send email from NAV (OnDemand or Scheduled), you can use standard NAV SMTP Codeunit: Codeunit 400 SMTP Mail.

    This codeunit use one .NET object with some functions

    MailDotNet Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.SMTP.SmtpMessage.’Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.SMTP’

    Functions: CreateMessage, TrySend, Send

    Example SMTP SENDMAIL TEST

    Subject := ‘SUBJECT SAMPLE TEXT’ ;

    Body := ‘BODY SAMPLETEXT’;

    SMTP.CreateMessage(‘SENDER’, ‘[email protected]’, ‘[email protected]’, Subject, Body, TRUE);

    Body := Body + ‘ OTHER’;

    SMTP.AppendBody(Body);

    SMTP.Send;

    MESSAGE(‘Mail Sended’);

    Sendmail with external .NET Integration Solution

    Some time ago I published a project solution on MSDN TechNet.

    344 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) Solution: “ Send e-mail with attachment and templates – My Script on MSDN Gallery,a short C# script to send e-mail with attachment and template, DLL .NET usable on Windows Systems.

    About Sharepoint Integration SharePoint and Microsoft Dynamics NAV – best topics

    From MSDN Online:

    “If you set up a SharePoint site, you can add Microsoft Dynamics NAV as an app to the site so that the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client opens when the user chooses an icon. Then, you can add web parts that show Microsoft Dynamics NAV data, such as a list of sales invoices with overdue payments. Users can drill down into the data and the web parts will open the relevant page in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client when the user chooses an icon or a link.”

    Saturday, February 25, 2017 In NAV 2017 there are two new options for “ Credentials Type”: TaskScheduler and EchangeIdentity.

    “Credential Type” -> “AS IS” Documentation “Specifies the authentication mechanism for Microsoft Dynamics NAV users of this Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance.” The options are “Windows, Username, NavUserPassword, and AccessControlService”.

    But… What about others features ? “TaskScheduler”, “EchangeIdentity”, “None” ?

    I n reality now there are three not documented options in the online help and also in NAV admin console help: “TaskScheduler”, “EchangeIdentity”, “None” …the option “ None” was already existing in 2016, undocumented.

    Saturday, March 04, 2017 About “UI Elements Removal” feature

    I never talked about this subject because is “daily bread” for NAV users, however, since some of NAV customers (and some of my readers) are still in old versions of NAV and they want to understand how this technology works, i collected a bit of existing documentation about this topic; below you will find many links from MSDN.

    About “UI Elements Removal” feature

    “UI Elements Removal” feature was introduced with NAV 2015; Microsoft Position at the end of 2014 before NAV 2015 launching date: “ To simplify the users’ experience in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, we have introduced the UI Elements Removal feature. The feature can be used to remove user interface (UI) elements, such as fields and actions from pages in Microsoft Dynamics NAV so that the Role Center and pages become simpler to look at, easier to navigate on, and faster to get through.”

    Access By Permission on NAV 2015(v=nav.80).aspx

    How to: Try Out the UI Elements Removal Feature based on Demo Permission Set

    (v=nav.80).aspx

    How System Works with “LicenseFileAndUserPermissions” option active?

    When you configure user interfaces in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you should make sure that the UI Elements Removal field is set to its default, LicenseFileAndUserPermissions, so that you only see the relevant UI elements in the Customize window.

    What objects will be removed objects by LicenseFileAndUserPermissions option?

    All types of UI elements will be removed if they relate to objects that are not included in the license or the user does not have the required permission to the objects:

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 355 • Fields, Actions, Page parts

    “UI elements” removed “By Design”

    Directly Related

    UI elements that are directly related to an object through the TableRelation or the CalcFormula property can be removed automatically according to the license file and/or user permissions

    Not Directly Related

    For UI elements that are not directly related to an object, you can use the AccessByPermission property to remove the element according to the user’s permission to a related object

    “All types” of UI elements will be removed if they relate to an object to which the user does not have the required permissions:

    • Fields on pages, including FactBoxes • Actions on pages, including toolbars and navigation panes • Page parts, such as Lines FastTabs About “FOUNDATION” permissions set

    A prerequisite for all other permission sets. The FOUNDATION permission set grants access to system tables and application setup tables that are required for most application features to work.

    This permission set is “recommended” when using the UI Elements Removal feature to automatically remove UI elements according to user permissions.

    To use the LicenseFileAndUserPermissions option in the UI Elements Removal field, you must assign the special FOUNDATION permission set to the user along with the relevant application permission sets that define which application objects the user will access. Unlike the BASIC permission set, the FOUNDATION permission set only grants access to application setup and system tables and requires that other assigned permission sets define which specific application objects can be accessed. For more information, see Special Permission Sets.

    Note that all of the 167 default permission sets that are provided with Microsoft Dynamics NAV are ready to support the FOUNDATION permission set to remove UI elements according to user permissions. You must therefore edit the relevant permission sets as explained in the following procedures.

    Important ! 1

    “If you defined the property for a table field, then all instances of the field on pages are removed from the user’s view . To override the property on an individual page field, delete the permission value after the = sign in the Value field. Do not delete the whole string as that will be replicated on the property of the table field.”

    Important! 2

    356 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) “The majority of the permission sets that are provided with the CRONUS demonstration databasecannotbe combined with the FOUNDATION permission set to fully use the UI Elements Removal feature. You must first create or edit the relevant permission sets to avoid that the user is blocked from performing the involved tasks. For more information, see How to: Create or Modify Permission Sets.”

    360 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) How “not” to increase the batch name

    Monday, March 13, 2017 NAV standard, in the case of use of batch name containing numbers, after posting automatically increases the last number existing in batch name (example: Batch 1 > 2 ..AL110A > AL111A.. and so on..)

    This functionality is handled “Bydesign” in NAV, if you want to “ NOT increase” the number and keep the same number in the batch (example in the case of fixed batch used for example for output and consumption and related numbered machines, former assets) can modify the codeunit 23 “Item Jnl.-Post Batch”

    To achieve this, you need to change this line ItemJnlBatch.Name: = INCSTR ( “Journal Batch Name”) in function HandleNonRecurringLine

    Function HandleNonRecurringLine

    (VAR ItemJnlLine: Record “Item Journal Line”; OldEntryType: ‘Purchase, Sale, Adjmt Positive., Negative Adjmt., Transfer, Consumption, Output,, Assembly Consumption, Output Assembly’)

    Original Code ItemJnlLine3.COPY (ItemJnlLine); ItemJnlLine3.DELETEALL; ItemJnlLine3.RESET; ItemJnlLine3.SETRANGE ( “Journal Template Name”, “Journal Template Name”); ItemJnlLine3.SETRANGE ( “Journal Batch Name”, “Journal Batch Name”);

    IF NOT THEN ItemJnlLine3.FINDLAST IF INCSTR ( “Journal Batch Name”) <> ” THEN BEGIN ItemJnlBatch.DELETE; ItemJnlBatch.Name: = INCSTR ( “Journal Batch Name”); IF THEN ItemJnlBatch.INSERT; “Journal Batch Name”: = ItemJnlBatch.Name; END;

    You can change code in this way … for example in case of Outputs Consumptions entries to post from machine from MES.. IF NOT (ItemJnlLine2. “Entry Type” IN [ItemJnlLine2. “Entry Type” :: Consumption, ItemJnlLine2. “Entry Type” :: Output]) THEN .. //ItemJnlBatch.Name: = INCSTR ( “Journal Batch Name”); // OLD

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 361 ItemJnlBatch.Name: = “Journal Batch Name”; // NEW, maintain old batch name, don’t use INCRSTR statement ..

    Sunday, April 02, 2017 Sometimes can happen that some recursively scheduled jobs can go wrong or get stuck, you can re-enable them automatically and after consult the log to see errors; it is not a perfect solution but sometimes the error can be a simple error ex: “another user has modified..” etc. This function could be useful for NAV versions up to 2016, NAV 2017 has an improved management and a robust task scheduling system.

    Samples of Jobs in “Error” or “Frozen Completed State”

    Before Execution

    After Execution

    The Simple Solution

    The solution is based on a codeunit that takes care of reactivating the jobs in the state “error” or “completed”, it can be changed according to the needs.

    It can be scheduled:

    • Directly into the NAS (in the same or other NAS instances) • On Windows Task Scheduler with codeunit invoked by Powershell Fields Added on Table “Job Queue Entry”

    Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) 367 Codeunit 50000 “ChangeJobsStatus”

    CODE

    OnRun()

    ChangeJobStatus;

    ChangeJobStatus()

    Documentation()

    “Restart Job” IF in errorin processfinished state

    OnRun()

    IF ChangeJobStatus() = TRUE THEN

    MESSAGE(‘Jobs Status Changed!’)

    ELSE

    MESSAGE(‘Nothing Changed!’)

    LOCAL ChangeJobStatus() JobStatusChanged : Boolean

    //”Restart Job” IF in errorin processfinished state

    JobStatusChanged := FALSE;

    recJobQEntry.RESET;

    IF recJobQEntry.FINDSET THEN

    REPEAT

    CASE recJobQEntry.Status OF

    //*** STATE: IN PROCESS

    recJobQEntry.Status::”In Process”:

    BEGIN

    recJobQLogEntry.RESET;

    368 Roberto Stefanetti, My Dynamics NAV MVP Blog #1 (2015-2017) recJobQLogEntry.SETRANGE(“Object Type to Run”,recJobQEntry.”Object Type to Run”); //Check Run.Time recJobQLogEntry.SETRANGE(“Object ID to Run”,recJobQEntry.”Object ID to Run”);

    //Check Duration Process Max

    IF recJobQEntry.”Duration Process Max” > 0 THEN

    IF recJobQLogEntry.FINDLAST THEN

    IF CURRENTDATETIME – recJobQLogEntry.”Start Date/Time” > recJobQEntry.”Duration Process Max” THEN BEGIN //CHECK MAX DURATION TIME recJobQEntry.Status := recJobQEntry.Status::Ready; // –> SET STATUS TO READY recJobQEntry.MODIFY(FALSE);

    JobStatusChanged := TRUE;

    END

    END;

    //*** STATE: ERROR OR FINISHED recJobQEntry.Status::Error, recJobQEntry.Status::Finished: //IF “ERROR” OR “FINISHED”

    BEGIN recJobQEntry.Status := recJobQEntry.Status::Ready; // –> SET STATUS TO READY recJobQEntry.MODIFY(FALSE);

    JobStatusChanged := TRUE;

    END;

    END; //END CASE

    COMMIT;

    UNTIL recJobQEntry.NEXT = 0;

    EXIT(JobStatusChanged);
