Hi, We have a library that we're trying to use as an Addin with Navision 2013 (NOT R2). Our library is compiled and targeted towards the .NET framework version 4.7.1. It also uses Log4Net to write to the event log and create log files. It seems like other libraries we used that were compiled in 4.7.1 worked. However, I want to confirm this is supported. Additionally, although the object seems to run......nothing wrote to the event log...and our log file was not created. This should have thrown an error within Navision....but there doesn't seem to be anything reported..... Is there some place where Navision actually logs error information generated by code unit assemblies? Also....does anyone know what EXE the codeunits actually run under (their context)? kind regards, Marty

Forum Post: Word Layout in Documents. Why not?
I used Word Layout for documents reports, instead RDLC layout in a project and I found it easy and fast. But on the other side, I don´t see a lot of people using word layout. So, what is the problem? Is there any important issue that I can´t see? Can anyone share their experiences and issues with Word Layouts? Thank you very much.

"DELETE http://{{ipandport}}/{{servicename}}/ODataV4/Company('{{companyname}}')/SalesOrder('Order','SO-2078422')" is working absolutely fine. I Gusti Made Ari Permadi Thanks a lot! Will the same format `SalesOrder('Order','SO-2078422')` work for items/zip codes/customers? Like: Items('Item','1234'), Customers('Customer','56787')? Thanks again!, Kishore.

Yes, it should be working as well. You only need to supply the primary key value . For items primary key is only Number so should be like this Items('1234')

Blog Post: Multiple approval for a single document(Items) in Dynamics NAV
Introduction: We are well versed with approvals in Sales and Purchase documents. To summarise a sales approval, a sales order is created, the sales amount is finalised and sent for approval. The status of the document changes to pending approval. Once its approved by the hierarchy the status changes to released and it moves to the further process etc but…. sometimes don’t we require approval from more than one department heads ? An Item document for example consist of Item General information, Invoicing, Planning, Replenishment etc. Its good to have the authorised person to enter the relevant details. I’ll be creating Multiple approval for each group tab in NAV. Pre-requisites: Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 Steps: In this workflow, certain fields are made mandatory based on the sequence No. e.g. If Item document is waiting for Sequence 2 to approve certain mandatory fields need to filled in before approving. Only when all mandatory fields are filled it goes to the next sequence approver. In the search bar type in workflow user group. click on New and create a user group as below. Add 4 users to the group 2. Create a workflow an set response as workflow user group as ITEM WFL created 3. Create two fields in the Item table (27) Level Approved and Status with Datatype as Option. Add Status field to the Item Card page and mark Editable as No. 4. In the codeunit 1535 Approvals Mgmt., I’ve added a function for Item workflow inside the function ApproveSelectedApprovalRequest 5. Set the Level approved based on the sequence No. 6. Use a switch case statement for each level approved. When Level approved is 1 i.e sequence is 2 the fields like Gen. Posting group are mandatory to be filled. Once all mandatory fields are filled, the status of document changes to Released. 7. Add the code to change the Status to Pending approval under the codeunit 1535 function SetStatusToPendingApproval 8. Enter the code in the Workflow Response under the function ReleaseDocument Demo: Create ab Item and Send for approval. Once Level approved 0 is approved, it goes to the Level approved 1 i.e sequence 2 When sequence 2 approver login NAV and tries to approve the Item, it throws an error if mandatory fields are not filled. Once all mandatory field are filled by all users, the Item document releases. Cheers! Happy weekend and a Blessed Christmas!

Forum Post: RE: Word Layout in Documents. Why not?
I've also used Word templates a lot for document reports (and an improved Excel buffer for all other new reports. We only used RDLC when modifying existing reports) in a previous job. It speeds up development a lot! There is a few limitations that one should be aware of: - If you or an user need to edit the template, you need to have a Word license. You also need to have word on the client to show preview (i think - workaround is to just print to PDF). - Word layout does not support show/hide expressions (it is not supported by the 3rd party word merger Microsoft are using for NAV/BC). So you cannot let the word template decide which information should be shown or not. This also means that all your pages should be identical template wise (you can control if a field has as value or not in your dataset from NAV/BC, but you cannot show/hide i.e. a field based on another fields value directly in the word template). If you want i.e. your document totals in a frame in the footer on the last page in your document, you cannot do that in standard NAV/BC i think - it will at least show the frame on every pages footer… And you even have to be a bit creative to get that result :-). - Word layout does not support transfer footers/headers - You cannot remove a image dynamically - you'll get a grey box (but you can replace it with a 1x1 white dot in your dataset :-) ) There are probably more minor limitations I forgot about... Some you can work around easily and some are a bit harder (I've been involved in creating a post-processing PDF editor in my former work to fix some of it. It just required everything to be printed as PDF for the PDF-post-processer before actually beeing printed...

Forum Post: How to modify all table fields (record to record)
Hello everyone I am writing a script that is supposed to copy Item data from one company to another. I have a problem with Items that already exist - I want to modify them but I don't want to write all fields in the table. I decided to create loops and use RecordRef and FieldRef. Unfortunately, this approach takes a long time (over 24 hours). sourceTable.OPEN(objectId, FALSE, fromCompany); sourceFieldFilter := sourceTable.FIELD(54); sourceFieldFilter.SETFILTER('FALSE'); IF sourceTable.FINDSET THEN BEGIN targetTable.OPEN(objectId, FALSE, toCompany); REPEAT targetTable.INIT; FOR intCounter := 1 TO sourceTable.FIELDCOUNT() DO BEGIN sourceField := sourceTable.FIELDINDEX(intCounter); targetField := targetTable.FIELD(sourceField.NUMBER); targetField.VALUE(sourceField.VALUE); IF FORMAT(sourceField.CLASS) <> 'FlowField' THEN BEGIN targetTable.MODIFY(FALSE); COMMIT; END; END; UNTIL sourceTable.NEXT = 0; END; targetTable.CLOSE(); sourceTable.CLOSE(); I am looking for another solution. I wrote something like that (but it doesn't work): fromItem.INIT; fromItem.CHANGECOMPANY(companyName); fromItem.SETFILTER(fromItem.Blocked, 'FALSE'); IF fromItem.FINDSET THEN BEGIN REPEAT IF toItem.GET(fromItem."No.") THEN BEGIN toItem := fromItem toItem.MODIFY; END; COMMIT; UNTIL fromItem.NEXT = 0; END; There are over 200 fields in my table and I don't want to write each field in the style: toItem.Fields1: = fromItem.Fields1; toItem.Fields2: = fromItem.Fields2; toItem.Fields3: = fromItem.Fields3; .... .... toItem.Fields200: = fromItem.Fields200; toItem.MODIFY it will work but I am looking for another solution. Do you have any suggestions?

Blog Post: Business Central/NAV integration with Azure Service Bus using Azure function.
Hello Team! Today I tell you how to send messages from Business Central (BC) to Azure Service Bus (ASB). Also you can repeat this actions with C\AL for Dynamics NAV using "Http Web Request Mgt." codeunit instead of HttpClient variable. More about ASB you could read here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/service-bus/ Lets start: 1. First of all you need to create Service Bus namespace. Open Azure portal, click on Create New resource, type "Service Bus" and press Create Input name of your Bus. Choose Pricing tier (Basic for this test), resource group and location. After several minutes you'll get your ASB: 2. Now we need SAS policy for our ASB and at least one message queue: Click on Shared access policy of your ASB and press Add. Type some name and select Manage. Press Create. Select Queues tab and press +Queue. Input name and press Create: Set SAS policy for your queue (you could skip it and use SAS policy for Service bus): As you could notice - this policies doesn't contain SAS token. Only connection strings. Obtaining of SAS token for ASB is a headache - you could read how to construct it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/azure/service-bus-messaging/service-bus-authentication-and-authorization We will use much more easier method to connect to service bus - Azure function! 3. Azure functions allows you to use Connection strings to authenticate ASB. And integration of Business Central with Azure functions is very simple. Create App service for your function: Now we need VS Code to create Azure Function. With next extensions : Azure Functions and C# Open VS Code, install extensions and click on Azure Functions menu: 4. Connect to your Azure account, select Subscription and Press Create Function icon. Select App service (previously created) and function type - Http Trigger, language - C#. you'll get some kind of HelloWorld project. We need to change it a little. All code you could find here: https://github.com/ABaludin/ASBFunction Add Service Bus package to your project: Open local.settings.json and add ServiceBusConnection parameter which is primary connection string from Service bus or queue SAS policy: And finally - function code. Get request from Business Central and send it to ASB: using System; using System.IO; using System.Threading.Tasks; using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc; using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs; using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Http; using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http; using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging; using Newtonsoft.Json; namespace ABaludin.Asb { public static class ASB { [FunctionName("ASB")] public static IActionResult Run( [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "post", Route = null)] HttpRequest req, ILogger log, [ServiceBus("nav2asb", Connection = "ServiceBusConnection", EntityType = Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.ServiceBus.EntityType.Queue)] out string busMessage) { string message = new StreamReader(req.Body).ReadToEnd(); busMessage = message; return message != null ? (ActionResult) new OkObjectResult("ok") : new BadRequestObjectResult("No message"); } } } Now publish your function to App service, open App service on Azure portal and copy your function's URL: 5. Sending messages from Business Central: Create page extension which sends employees data to ASB. Integration is very simple, especially with anonymous authentication: Repository with code: https://github.com/ABaludin/HappyBirthday pageextension 50145 "AWR_EmployeeList" extends "Employee List" { actions { addlast(Reporting) { action("AWR_SendCongratulation") { ApplicationArea = All; Image = SendMail; Promoted = true; PromotedCategory = Process; Caption = 'Send Congratulation'; trigger OnAction() var Client: HttpClient; Url: Text; Content: HttpContent; Response: HttpResponseMessage; ResponseText: Text; begin Url := 'https:// >.azurewebsites.net/api/ >'; Content.WriteFrom(StrSubstNo(Message_Txt, Rec."First Name", Rec."Last Name")); if not Client.Post(Url, Content, Response) then Error(Text001_Err); Response.Content().ReadAs(ResponseText); if not Response.IsSuccessStatusCode() then Error(Text002_Err, Response.HttpStatusCode(), ResponseText); end; } } } var Text001_Err: Label 'Service inaccessible'; Text002_Err: Label 'The web service returned an error message:\ Status code: %1\ Description: %2'; Message_Txt: Label 'Today is Happy Birthday of %1 %2! Do not forget to congratulate!'; } you could check message quantity in ASB monitoring on Azure portal: but to check message text and some other functions you need special tool to work with ASB. I like this one: https://github.com/paolosalvatori/ServiceBusExplorer/releases See screenshots, it's quite good: Hope, this was useful for you!
