Forum Post: Import Sales Order using Xmlport without Document No.
Hi, i want to import a sales order with 1 sales line using a xmlport. it works, when i set the SalesHeader.No. and the SalesLine.DocumentNo in the xml import file. but i also want to import a sales order without setting the no./document no. in the xml import file. the import mechanism should set the no./document no. automatically using the according no. series. i have done that by setting some code in the "Sales Header"-No - Import::OnAfterAssignField() Trigger and it works fine. the import creates a new document no., the sales header part is imported. but not the sales line part. setting the document no. by code in the Line - Import::OnAfterInitRecord(), Line - Import::OnBeforeInsertRecord() or DocumentNo - Import::OnAfterAssignField() does not work. there is always an error message: Conflict between data and LineTable/LinkFields Setup in table Line. LinkTable: Sales Header; LinkFields: Document No.=FIELD(No.) (i also tried the LinkFields with Document Type=FIELD(Document Type);Document No.=FIELD(No.)) Every help will be appreciated. Thx.

Forum Post: RE: Import Sales Order using Xmlport without Document No.
Hi Jonathan, I would try to import the records into temporary tables, and write the contents (with the right primary key fields) in the OnPostXMLport() trigger to the database. This is fine as long as you have only one sales order in the XML file. Otherwise you could also assign the primary key you want in the OnPreXMLItem() triggers. with best regards Jens

Forum Post: RE: Dynamics 2013 r2 version - how to make a price list with quantity in stock with customer discount
Hi Kulbinder, you want a price and stock list with sales prices calculated for the customer. I'm afraid you would need to write such a one yourself. There is something to consider, though: - For every item you can have several prices/discounts, based on the quantity threshold. Do you want all these prices listed? So you need a section with a header (Item No., Description, quantity in stock, misc) and lines (prices calculated on the customer). The lines would be all "valid for this customer" sales prices (times possible discount quantities) that exist for the item. Or, to adhere to the "best price" calculation scheme NAV is using, the lowest price NAV would calculate for this customer and item, based on the quantity. So you need to go over the sales line discounts. For all that are valid, you need to do a price calculation, and show all that have a different price. - The resulting layout can be not very user friendly. Better is a table layout where the (same) threshold quantities are in columns. If the price doesn't differ, you write the same price into this column. This would reduce the quantities to check to the actually used threshold quantities. And you can list one line by item (good). You might need a temporary table to create the lines, depending on the required flexibility / code structure. with best regards Jens

Blog Post: NAV ClickOnce-Mass Windows Client Installation and Auto Update
How many workstations does your company have? How much time have you spent to install or update platform hotfixes for hundreds of NAV Windows Client? There is a Microsoft technique helps you save your effort and time, approximated 50% for new installation and 90% for auto update. I would like to introduce you ClickOnce: New way of streamlined and centralized deployment of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows Client . Cost effectiveness , imaging time consumed to install or update application for more than 100 workstations across many regions. Zero end-user configurations, auto detects and updates the client without the user having to do anything. Not requiring administrative permissions to install. Co-deploying any partner created additional add-in assemblies . Side-by-side installations make it easy to run ClickOnce against different servers from the same computer. Quickly access to systems of customers for support, using windows search by CustomerID. Microsoft has deeply dived into ClickOnce with series of videos. Each of them guides you each field of ClickOnce. I would like to arrange, combine some of them for common case and make it easier by using interface: Use interface of Manifest Generation and Editing Tool (v4.0.30319.1) to build NAV ClickOnce 8.0 (NAV 2015). Setup ClickOnce on Web Server , using same port with Web Client Service. Deploy 2 instances for Production and Test Systems (side-by-side installations). Enable directory browsing for public files. Force Windows Clients update automatically . (Please visit the site to view this video) I will upload related documents on Mibuso site this week. Save your effort and time with ClickOnce!

Blog Post: Guide to Successful MRP Implementation
Implementing MRP (material requirements planning) successfully in Microsoft Dynamics NAV is one of the more complex tasks. There are lots of moving parts and to make it work in an efficient way you not only need to know Dynamics NAV and the theories behind MRP but also the product structures and how the business wants to operate. This is my guide to how to make it work, it is based on my experience and how I normally approach MRP. It does not guide or dictate how you should setup NAV, just some guidance on how to get there (I guess it can be used by any type of MRP implementation, not only Dynamics NAV). I have seen MRP implementations fail because of the approach was just to ‘plug in the values’ and ‘run it’, I think structure it and put some thoughts behind it first will definitely make it easier and pave the way to success. My approach consists of the following steps: 1. Categorize Your Items 2. Describe a Strategy for Each Category 3. Simulate Scenarios 4. Apply Planning Parameters 5. Determine How to Run MRP 6. Continually Optimize It is important to know that it takes a fair amount of work to get to a good running MRP solution where there is a balance between supply and demand and where few resources can successfully plan a larger number of items and orders without shortages or too much inventory. There are some important prerequisites that you should be aware of; correct inventory levels, accurate production BOMs and routings with times , accurate lead times on purchased items, timely registration of inventory movements and a location structure that makes sense. In addition, not only the planners has to be determined to get it to work, also sales that are entering/maintaining sales orders and purchasers that are entering/maintaining purchase orders needs to be in on the plan. It is very important that shipment dates and receipt dates are entered accurately or realistically; I always say that the dates are equally important to the quantities. If you can’t get the above commitment it will be very hard to get to a well working MRP system. 1. Categorize Your Items Start with categorizing your items from a replenishment point of view. Determine what different types of parts that should be replenished similarly and make a list of the different categories. It could be categories such as; frequently used raw material items that should be in inventory at all time, seldom used raw material items, long lead time items, sub-assemblies, finished standard items, finished custom items, items that you are obligated to have in inventory for customers, consignment items, assemble-to-order items, etc. Make a table of the categories, something like below. This step you should be able to do without any knowledge of Dynamics NAV. This will help the NAV expert to get the overall picture on what different categories of items there are. When you have categorized your items you continue to the next step. 2. Describe a Strategy for Each Category Describe how you want to replenish each category. Look at each category and ask yourself if you want to carry the items in inventory and if so how much, what should determine the order quantities and when to reorder, do you need a forecast to drive the replenishment, what will be the impact of a stock out, etc.. Describe the above for each of the categories, extend the table from #1 to look something like below. This step you should also be able to do without any knowledge of Dynamics NAV. This will help configuring the Items/Stockkeeping Units in NAV (see it as the requirements for the configuration) and to verify the results during the next step when the scenarios are simulated. 3. Simulate Scenarios Simulate scenarios with a sample set of items for each category. For this you need to know the functionality in Dynamics NAV (or get help by someone who knows it). Focus on material planning and not capacity planning. You need the material planning to work first, and then you can focus on the capacity planning if needed. It does not make sense to plan the capacities (work/machine centers) if you don’t have good control of your inventory. The exception to this is if you have unlimited supply of your material, but then you are reading the wrong blog post. Stick to the standard functionality. Apart from doing minor adjustments (like the Accept Action Message in Planning Worksheet or extending the results with new fields, etc.) my suggestion is to stay away from customizing the MRP logic, it quite quickly becomes complicated and if you can’t fit in with the standard MRP rules in Dynamics NAV you should look into something else (like an add-on or third party software) to plan your material requirements. Although most of the times it is just a matter of not knowing the functionality enough. Simulating the scenarios can with advantage being done in a separate company where you can control orders and inventory levels to stage different scenarios. Make sure to also cover what to do when changes in demand occurs. This step can almost be seen as a user acceptance test where the functionality is confirmed by the users against the requirements for each category of items. Note your result and/or issues for each of the categories and how the planning parameters setup was done, something like below. 4. Apply Planning Parameters Apply the planning parameters to a broader set of items by using the categories defined in step #1 and the configurations simulated in step #3. Most of the times this requires extracting data to Excel, manipulating it and then importing it back into Dynamics NAV. If you for example have reorder points based on demand during the lead times then you need to extract the usage for each of the item and calculate the reorder points to apply. Things like applying a production forecast based on sales history should be done the same time. 5. Determine How to Run MRP Determine how the MRP run will be carried out in Dynamics NAV. This should include the frequency in which you need to refresh the plan, what items or locations that should be included in what run, etc. I think having MRP to be run once a day as a scheduled activity and have all items and all locations (except maybe locations like quarantine, customer returns, etc.) being part of the run is a preferred way of doing it. Dynamics NAV does come with a scheduler, called job queue, but in order to schedule the MRP run you need to create your own table to setup the parameters such as horizon etc. for the scheduler to be able to run MRP as required. Also make a plan on how to review and treat the MRP suggestions. Something like; 1. Look at the errors logged (if any) and fixed them for the next run. 2. Review and handle the exceptions. 3. Look at the suggested changes to existing orders. 4. Review suggestions for new supply that have order dates with in the next two weeks (as example). If it is a transition from another software to NAV, then using MRP to create all the initial production orders is most likely the easiest way to get a good balance between supply and demand during a go-live. If you migrate production orders from an old system and then start running MRP it might take a while between you get a good balance since NAV might not agree with the supply that is in place. If it is an existing NAV solution where MRP is going to be introduced then it might be of value to reduce the number of planned and firm planned orders prior to the MRP run and have them being recreated. The MRP calculation could take a while to run depending on how many items that needs to be planned etc. As an example I just finished a project where there where around 85.000 items with 450.000 production BOM lines and 550.000 routing lines that was planned on a daily basis, the MRP was scheduled to run during the night and took about 45 minutes to run. I expect this to increase a bit once the database grow and gets more transactions in it. It is good to know how long it takes since the MRP calculation in Dynamics NAV locks some tables and you might not be able to post things like output and consumption during the MRP run. In this case we scheduled it to run between 1 and 2 am, this only affected the production night shift which in this case was doing limited postings during that time anyway. 6. Continually Optimize Once it is all setup and running it is important to continuously work with the system to optimize the plan by reviewing suggestions and updating/maintaining orders and parameters. Most companies operates in a more or less dynamic environment where you continually need to tweak the setup based on external factors such as changes in purchase lead times, raw material costs, etc. Requirements typically also change; the bestselling items this year might not be the bestselling items next year. You might have new items being introduced by sales and engineering might work on improving products which changes to the components in the production BOMs, etc. This is an ongoing process and a good planner will be on top of changes and adjust accordingly. It is also important to realize that in reality things are not always executed exactly according to the plan. To allow for this you can build in some slack time into the plan by adding safety lead times and queue times to the products and operations. There are also damper parameters that can be set to reduce the number of suggestions that changes to demand otherwise can trigger (this to remove the noise that small irrelevant changes otherwise will create). If you are facing an MRP implementation hopefully you will find the above approach useful.

Blog Post: Using ERP to Avoid the pitfalls of success
Enterprise resource planning software helps businesses improve their chances for success. This advantage is provided in many different ways, from offering specific benefits for the work floor to increasing cross-departmental accounting capabilities and business intelligence analysis. Companies that successfully implement and use ERP are in a better position to grow and change, but they need to understand that success brings along unique considerations. As organizations expand, they have to deal with problems and concerns that didn’t previously exist. These issues range from tax and tariff compliance to managing larger supply chains and handling an employee base in different states and even different countries. Here’s a look at two of the most common issues that businesses can experience when growing – and how ERP can help: 1. Wages and deductions Businesses that expand often end up with facilities in multiple states and possibly more than one country. When it comes to paying employees, the laws can vary greatly between different locations. This is obviously true for different countries, but state-to-state changes are more often overlooked. There also are a growing number of instances where individual cities have different wage laws than the surrounding state. For example, the Washington State municipality of SeaTac – centered around the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport – recently instituted a $15 minimum wage according to The Seattle Times, above the pay floor of the rest of the state. Beyond considerations such as the minimum wage, there are also concerns relating to legally mandated break periods and differing requirements for family and medical leave. The state unemployment tax base also changes from state to state and can vary drastically from one to another. These concerns can be met by a variety of ERP modules, including tax and timekeeping components that help businesses keep track of a growing employee base. 2. New taxes Sales tax, export tariffs and plenty of other tax issues spring up when a company decides to expand. Sales tax in particular is a common concern because nearly all businesses using ERP are in the business of selling some kind of product or material. Maintaining compliance from the start is important because states have a variety of different laws when it comes to applying sales tax. Tax software specialists Avalara pointed out one of the most frequent mistakes when it comes to compliance: the sales tax nexus . The nexus is the highly variable method through which a business triggers a sales tax requirement with the city or state that it resides in. There are also concerns related to sourcing the obligation – although most municipalities require the payment of sales tax based on the buyer’s location. However, there are enough areas where the opposite is true that companies need to be careful and make tax compliance a priority going forward. ERP software can help businesses deal with increased of changing obligations through the use of a tax compliance module added onto the basic platform. Making an effective plan Companies that are planning to implement a new ERP system or upgrade their current one need to consider future needs. Although it’s a best practice to build an ERP system around the most important and immediately present concerns, issues of tax liability and other jurisdiction-based issues need to be addressed before they become a problem. Businesses that work with a top-flight ERP partner will have an easier time quantifying their growth- and development-related issues and finding the right components to add onto an ERP framework. A little planning ahead of time, both internally and with a partner, will help businesses avoid the pains that come with compliance and regulatory issues.
