Directions North America has started its first day with a boom of news for the Dynamics 365 Business Central on-prem and cloud. Let’s see what we have so far: Release date Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premise will be released October 1 st , 2018. As you read my post, it’s probably already available. New Features “It’s all in the little details” – said Jannik Bausager while presenting the new features for Business Central. And he couldn’t be more right. You can now multiselect lines, copy-paste them to excel and from excel, use shortcuts for search (f3) and our favorite function to copy the field from line above (f8). There’s also a handy search now available (alt+q) to not only search for pages but also for the actions in pages. Some of the other features in an image below: Roadmap Major version releases for both D365BS Cloud and On-prem versions will be every half a year: one in spring and one in autumn. “It will work like a clockwork” – as reassured on stage by Marko Perisic. What’s important on the feature roadmap? Web Client will be the only option from year 2020, that’s the goal, no windows client in the near future. Intelligent Cloud Remember intelligent cloud back from Inspire? Well there’s a lot more to it, as shown today in Keynote. In a couple of steps you can arrange it to automatically crawl data from your GP solution (NAV and C5 to come) and put it inside a read-only Business Central solution. It would allow a GP customer to preview his financial data in a cloud D365BC solution or his mobile D365BC phone app for free. That seems like a good move to help transition the GP customer base to Business Central, since this could make them accustomed to D365BC quickly. We’ll see if it’s really that easy in the near future. Is that it? Dynamics Learning Portal is now free for all partners, which you may have seen already earlier, it’s announced today officially. It’s Day 1, so there’s 3 more days, stay tuned! The post Release, Roadmap and New Features for Dynamics 365 Business Central (Day 1 Directions NA) appeared first on Simplanova .

Blog Post: “HOW-TO” DEVELOP A WORD LAYOUT REPORT IN VISUAL STUDIO CODE
“HOW-TO” DEVELOP A WORD LAYOUT REPORT IN VISUAL STUDIO CODE Nice question in Microsoft Dynamics BC Community about report development in Visual Studio Code: “How to modify an existing report in Business Central?” .Is there any way to development tools will be used by partners to modify standard Reports and build/modify custom Reports in Rdlc or in Word Layout? Word Layout reports (my opinion) are a great choice for “ Document Report s”, in my next new book “Implementing Dynamics NAV & Dynamics 365 Business Central” i will talk also about Reporting topics. Now, in this case, i would to talk about “How to modify an existing Word Layout report in Business Central” . Scenario example I have an old World Layout report in Dynamics NAV 2018 that I want to convert to Visual Studio Code: in this case is the “ Sales Invoice Report ” named “SIR_WL” (Sales Invoice Report – Word Layout) “HOW-TO” CREATE A NEW WORD LAYOUT REPORT IN MSDYN365BC CONVERTING A DYNAMICS NAV REPORT To create a new report based on an existing report (for example in Dynamics NAV 2018), you need to use Visual Studio Code (and Microsoft AL Language Extension) for creating the Dataset and the RDLC\Word layouts , then you can customize the layouts with standard tools like Report Builder (for RDLC Reports) or Microsoft Word (for Word Layout reports). Develop in Local Sandbox You can use a local development sandbox for develop new reports, from here, you can open C/SIDE and export the report as TXT object. You can create that locally (by installing Docker and pulling microsoft/bcsandbox:latest) or use an Azure VM template (available here: aka.ms/bcdeveloperpreviewext) Take a look here https://robertostefanettinavblog.com/2018/06/25/how-to-business-central-sandbox-environments/ STEPS TO CONVERT AN EXISTING REPORT TO MICROSOFT “.AL” FILE FOR VS CODE #1 – (Re)generate SYMBOLS (if you have errors on Visual Studio Code) Example: finsql.exe Command=generatesymbolreference, Database=”Demo Database NAV W1 (13-0)”, ServerName=mvpdockers\SQL2016EXP #2 – From your local Development Sandbox (Docker, Azure etc.), export the report as TXT File to New Syntax Example (on report 50000) finsql.exe Command=ExportToNewSyntax, File=report50000.txt, Database=”Demo Database NAV W1 (13-0)”, ServerName=mvpdockers\SQL2016EXP,Filter=Type=report;ID=50000 #3 – Convert the report from New Syntax to “.AL” file with “Txt2AL tool”. This will give you a .al file (dataset) and .rdlc file (Rdlc layout) or .docx (Word layout) Example (on report 50000) txt2al.exe –source=”C:\FILES\REPORT_SOURCES” — target=”C:\FILES\REPORT_CONVERTED” after you can find report50000.al file in the target folder, after import the AL files in VS Code and modify them as per your needs (develop on Vs Code). FOLDER #4 – Add a subfolder named “layouts” in the project. Build the report, using Ctrl+Shift+B , this will generate the RDLC and WORD layouts folders and file. Import the Word Layout report from NAV 2018 in this folder if you have one ready to use. SAMPLE: Report 50110 “Sales – Invoice WL” REPORT LAYOUTS ARE NOW in “LAYOUT FOLDER” #5 – EDIT THE REPORT’S LAYOUT IN MICROSOFT WORD #6 – PUBLISH ANS INSTALL “.APP” REPORT PUBLISH “.APP” report Publish-NAVApp –ServerInstance DynamicsNAV130IT –Path “C:\Users\vmadmin\Documents\AL\ReportSalesInvoiceWL\Roberto Stefanetti_ReportSalesInvoiceWL_1.0.0.1.app”-SkipVerification INSTALL “.APP” report Install-NAVApp –ServerInstance DynamicsNAV130IT –Name “ReportSalesInvoiceWL” CHECK in extension management if extension is not installed > install manually OR Upload the report in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central using Upload “.APP” in Extension Management manually #7 – CONFIGURE REPORT “50110” Sales Invoice WL in Custom Layout Report “SALES INVOICE REPORT-FATTURA” IN ACTION LINKS OLD POST LINKS https://robertostefanettinavblog.com/2018/01/05/creation-of-reports-using-al-extension-in-microsoft-dynamcis-nav-development-preview/ https://robertostefanettinavblog.com/2018/06/24/how-to-create-a-report-on-bc/ MY FREE EBOOK about development in VsCode & Microsoft AL Language Extension: you can download my Free Ebook from Lulu.com (nice section about report development ) http://www.lulu.com/shop/http://www.lulu.com/shop/roberto-stefanetti/nav-modern-technology-notes-from-cal-to-microsoft-al/ebook/product-23535099.html Source https://robertostefanettinavblog.com/2018/09/30/how-to-develop-a-word-layout-report-in-visual-studio-code/

Forum Post: Price Groups
Hi I wonder if there are any shortcut to connect a customer card to a new price group, instead of editing every card separately? I found one way to easily paste in a new price group on every item by extract data with every item in the NAV 2015, then sort out which items in excel that should be changed and just copy all rows in the "edit- Sales Price". So my question are there a similar way to change the price group to a customer card. Becasue the issue is that it´s only 60-70 of 500 customer that will have the new price group so the option of make percentage change on a existing price group won´t work. Best regards Richard

Hi Richard, try using Configuration Packages, that allows Customer export to Excel and import back with the new group assigned. Robertas

Forum Post: RE: General Posting Error when using Sales Journals
Hi Marla, 'Gen Posting Type' tells the system which tax (VAT) to calculate - sales or purchases. This is then followed by posting groups. That is (if you're in a country that uses VAT): VAT Bus. Posting Group and VAT Prod. Posting Group. If these fields are empty, then Gen. Posting Type must be blank as well. If Gen. Posting Type is other than blank, then VAT posting groups must be defined as well. Hope that helps. Robertas

Forum Post: RE: Invoicing Sales Line without changing quantity for the line which is fully invoiced and cancelled through credit memo.
Hi, posting the credit memo doesn't affect the original SO for the Qty. Received or Qty. Invoiced. Of course, raising the credit memo with item will put the stock back to the warehouse. So you either need to create a new SO, or amend the existing one to increase the Quantity (you can create a new line to match the PO, and the mark original line as 'cancelled/credited' on the line description).

Blog Post: Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premise released today
As announced at Directions NA, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premise is relesed today and it’s available on now Partnersource from this link . From Partnersource you can download the classic DVD package, but you have also the option to download it from Docker hub. With this latest release, Microsoft Dynamics NAV is renamed Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on premises to be united under the Dynamics 365 Business Central brand. Dynamics NAV customers upgrading to Business Central on premises will enjoy the unique flexibility to continue running on premises, move to the cloud, or adopt a hybrid approach. You can start working with Dynamics 365 Business Central just now and YES, you can continue to work with C/AL if you need that. Obviously, the suggestion is always what I’ve saying from months during all our trainings: start thinking to extensions and AL, start move your existing solutions and don’t wait too much for this jump. With Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premise you can continue to use your existing object ranges, you can use Files and Dotnet variables, you have again the Windows Client (it’s still the old NAV 2018 client “powered by” Business Central) and you will leverage the power of the Intelligente Edge (we’ll talk about that soon). Microsoft has announced also the release cycle planning: Minor updates: approximately once a month, only critical bug fixes and features Major updates: every 6 months, both for SaaS and on-premise (same releases). A new version of the AL language extension is also available on the Visual Studio Marketplace and you can use this new version in all the actually available D365BC releases. Also the mobile app is updated and starting from today it supports also the iPhone X I remember you the announced roadmap. There’s no more time to wait…

Forum Post: RE: Purchase Invoice not getting CLOSED if payment to vendor done excluding VAT
Thanks a lot Subhashis. May be I was not clear enough which might have got you confused. If I had to pay vendor along with VAT, then I could use "Price including VAT" while paying to vendor. And Vendor would have been liable to pay VAT in that case. But, in my case, purchaser is liable to pay VAT, not vendor. Purchaser will deduct the VAT amount and pay only the actual amount (excluding VAT) to vendor. Purchaser will later settle the VAT himself via VAT Settlement. Hope it clarifies. Thanks for getting back quickly. Regards Mahedi

Forum Post: Transfer Order issue
Dear Experts, Last Year I had posted around 50 of transfer orders but out of 50 transfer orders in 2 orders costing creating a problem. When i shipped the transfer order system posted some amount to Inventory interim account and after that when i post receive for that then system reverse the different amount from that account. Because of this inventory total is mismatching. Can anybody help on this? Thanks in advance.

Forum Post: RE: Report
Not so clear what you mean... You can declare a global variable and use that variable in report's request page and then in report's body.

Forum Post: RE: Purchase Invoice not getting CLOSED if payment to vendor done excluding VAT
Hi Mahedi, this is an interesting requirement for VAT. What country you're working in? Anyway, if you have created the payable of $1050, then you need to cover the whole $1050 to close the invoice. That is how standard NAV works. And unless there is a country specific localisation to treat VAT in this way, you have two options: 1. Move the 'VAT' portion of the invoice ($50) from original vendor to a 'tax man' account (it can be vendor or just GL), while applying the vendor side with this outstanding invoice. You can do it via the purchase journal. After posting it - you still have $50 on the balance sheet but in a different vendor/GL, and the invoice is closed. 2. For all purchase invoices you just use net value (VAT will calculate 0%) and ant each month-end (or at any chosen intervals), run VAT statement to get the Base (Net Amount) or purchases with this VAT code, and post 5% of that into VAT liability account via a journal. Hope that makes sense. Robertas

Forum Post: Compile report again and again?
Hi, My customer tells me that my former colleague has told him to compile a specific "processing only" report i NAV 2009. The story is that sometimes a function in a form doesn't work and there is no error messages. That problem would be fixed if the customer finds the report in the Object Designer and compile it. Can this really be true?
