Na deze opleiding zijn de afgestudeerden direct inzetbaar als ERP consultant. Nu Enterprise Resource Planning niet meer enkel in multinationals gebruikt wordt maar ook zijn plaats heeft gevonden in middelgrote bedrijven en...

Maybe it's my shortsightedness? I've been using the Data Migration tool of RIM for a long time and saw it getting better over the years. Then there's also the Setup Master Templates tool in RIM, which is great to prepare templates for master data. But for me, the biggest advantage of the Setup Master Templates was that, by predefining values such as Posting Groups, you could help (new) users creating customers, vendors, items and/or contacts. But for me, there was...

Almost every time when I deliver training on the Role Tailored Client and talk about the personalization features I get a question from a student: Is it possible to disable the "customize this page" feature for a page in the RTC? My answer always is: "No, not to my knowledge." Until now that is… I was thinking, maybe this could be an undocumented feature somehow? Let's try something. I already knew that you could start the Role Tailored Client from...

As you all will probably know in Dynamics NAV 2009 there are 2 types of charts that a user can add to a page. By the way, if you don't know this, it might be a good opportunity to follow a training here J So, there are Chart Parts and Chart Panes. What's the difference? The Chart Pane A Chart Pane is available on any List page. The user can click on the Customize button (right top of RTC) and...

When designing a RDLC report design in Visual Studio there is an interesting window that can help during development. Especially when you are using multiple, nested controls. It is called the Document Outline window and can be opened like this: The Document Outline window: The example above is the Document Outline window for report 206, The Sales Invoice. As you can see in the Document Outline the report exists out of a Body and Header. The Body contains a List...

Today an interesting feature of the Role Tailored Client came to my attention. Did you know that you can print a page in the RTC, without using report? Just open a page, for example the Chart of Accounts, then go to the Action menu, and look in the bottom for the Print command: Then, in the window that opens you can select a printer. It can be for example an XPS writer or PDF writer, to generate a XPS or...

It has been a while since I posted a new blog entry, nearly a year to be honest. But I have a valid excuse; at least I think I have. I wrote a book on Sure Step, which is an equivalent of a few thousand blog entries. So, this must be a valid excuse. Unfortunately, you can’t read those entries on this blog but they are bundled and available as a book in the PacktPub store: https://www.packtpub.com/microsoft-dynamics-sure-step-2010/book Anyway, my last...

It's not that I don't like the RTC or that I want to favor the Classic Client, but in one of my trainings, a participant showed me a feature in the Classic Client I wasn't aware it exists. It's a feature which is doing almost exactly the same as the Save View As… function in the RoleTailored Client of NAV 2009 SP1. If you place a filter on a form in the Classic Client, you can send the link to...

For the Microsoft Powershot event, a couple of weeks ago, I delivered a session about how to create a dashboard report in NAV 2009. It was a very crowded session and afterwards I got a lot of requests to receive the .fob with the dashboard report. So here it is, but first some explanations about the 'features' of the report. The report has 3 controls. On the first page there are two charts showing the top x customers and top...

I recently installed my brand-new laptop and discovered something about Microsoft Outlook that was annoying and how to solve the issue. What was the problem? Well, when I migrated my .pst file, my contacts were also migrated, of course, but when I create a new email and started typing the name of my contact on the To box, AutoCompletion was not working anymore. It seems that the AutoComplete file of Outlook is stored under [Your Profile]\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook , and it...

A question I got asked recently when I was delivering the Report Design for Dynamics NAV 2009 training was about the print settings for reports. When you print a report and you have specified print and layout settings in the RDLC layout, you can also specify print and layout setting in the request page and in the printer properties of the selected printer and in the print layout view of the report viewer. So then, which print settings will get...

A question I sometimes get asked when I deliver a Dynamics NAV 2009 development training is: Is it still possible to link a part to another part on a page, like you can do with two subforms on a form? The answer is: Yes you can. There's a property that you can use to connect different parts on a page: the ProviderID property. Example: Lets create a new List Page for Salespersons. And on this Page let's also show the...

Vanaf 2010 is het BTW percentage voor restaurants gedaald van 21 naar 12%. Stel dat u uw factuur (met 12% BTW) van uw personeelsfeest wil inboeken in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, dan gebruikt u toch gewoon de BTW-productboekingsgroep D2. Maar laat het nu zijn dat in de standaard NAV BTW-aangifte de BTW-productboekingsgroep D2 niet bestaat. Wilt u op een correcte manier restaurantfacturen met 12% BTW kunnen inboeken in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, dan moet in de eerste plaats de BTW-productboekingsgroep D2 aangemaakt...
