One of the things you will notice in Role Tailored client is missing the integrated object designer, so you can’t make Control + F2 and instantly know in which page ID you are viewing. One way to display page ID is to use showhelpid parameter. Start client with showhelpid parameter. “Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe –showhelpid”. Then in any page press F1. It will display a information dialog before displaying help. In message look at Object ID information.

With this post, I hope I can show the importance of exact reversing. Navision from a quite long has an option in S&R Setup and P&P Setup called "Exact Cost Reversing Mandatory". These options can explain many times incorrect valuation that I meet in some implementations. 1. Setup Let's create 2 items (A and B) both have a costing method of average. Each item will have a distinct Inventory Posting group. Objective is to have distinct Inventory Accounts. Item A will have G/L Account...
I will try to give a first glance to MS Dynamics Mobile for NAV .I’m not a huge fan of fresh technologies/products since they aren’t solid.

I would only add a remark to this article. You must ensure a thread lock in web services layer or in concurrent requests...

There is a day when every Navision consultant whished Navision supported Unicode. During an implementation I tough if it is so difficult by Microsoft to implement Unicode in Navision? The concept of dataports it’s a simple an easy way to integrate Navision with external applications. Now try to incorporate text files with a custom made Korean ERP, isn’t an easy task.
