language in Dynamics NAV?

847-590-3000 | [email protected] | @Solution_System

•C/AL is the programming language in Dynamics NAV. C/AL stands for Client/Server Application of Language and it resembles the Pascal language

What kind of permissions comes

with Dynamics NAV?


•Dynamics NAV comes with object level permissions. You can setup what objects (tables, reports, pages, etc.) each user has access to and specifically if the data can be inserted, modified or deleted.

•If you want to control permissions down to a field level (e.g. who is allowed to alter what field) then you need to get an add-on for this (which there are many to choose from) or develop something yourself (which is easier than you’d imagine). The same goes with if you want to control what user is allowed to post onto what G/L account, location code, item, bin, etc.

How are the users in the license counted?


•The Dynamics NAV licensed users are concurrent users, meaning that you can have as many named users as you want but the license only allows a certain number of them to be connected at the same time.

Can I undo a purchase receipt?


•Yes, NAV has an undo receipt function. You can only undo a receipt if it has not been invoiced yet, once it has been invoiced you cannot undo it. Neither can you undo a receipt that has n item charge posted against it.

Is it possible to create a sales quote without having a customer?


•Yes, Dynamics NAV allows you to create sales quotes without first creating a customer. You need a contact though, and once the quote is converted to an order NAV can create a customer record based on the contact.

Does Dynamics NAV handle multi-

currency?


•Yes, in fact Dynamics NAV is very strong in its multicurrency. It is originally Danish software born at a time where all the countries in Europe had their own currencies, so it should be pretty good at this.

How do I activate/deactivate

Item Tracking?


•This is one through the Item Tracking Code field on the item card. If an item has transactions you cannot change from an item tracking code with tracking to an item tracking code that has been setup with different tracking or no tracking. The workaround is to change NAV so that it allows you to change this field if all item ledger entries are closed.

Can an item be deleted?


•Yes, an item can be deleted as long as it is not used anywhere (like in a journal, sales or purchase document, on a production order, service contract, etc.). As with customers and vendors, transactions (item ledger entries and service ledger entries) can exist but they have to be in prior fiscal years and completely adjusted and closed. When deleting an item with transactions the transaction gets a blank item no. It is not recommended to delete items with transactions.

Do I need a routing for production orders?


•No, you can use production orders without routings.

How do I reverse posted consumption?


•You can reverse a consumption by posting a negative consumption (e.g. enter a negative number in the quantity field) through the production or consumption journal.
