About Erik P. Ernst

With my 28+ years in the Business Central/Navision industry, I am what others refer to as a "Dinosaur".  Since I started with Navision in 1990, I've done almost everything in this industry, from end user, sales, training, support, project management, development, solution architecture and much more.

And I'm still doing it, because I love it.

I started the Navision Online User Group in 1995, now Dynamics 365 User Group and I have been a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) since 2004.

Here I mostly blog about the Dynamics 365 community, my experiences with Microsoft and/or the projects I'm working on, especially international projects. Or what every comes to on my mind or bothers me enough to wanna share with you.

  • Expense Management in Dynamics NAV

    Erik P. Ernst
    Erik P. Ernst
    Handling employee expenses is a very time consuming task for many companies. When I worked as a global erp architect for GN Store Nord, and traveled a lot to our subsidiaries using Navision. Each month I spent approx. one full day of making travel expense reports based on my batch of receipts. Then it took one of the accounting employees about the same amount of time, one day pay employee (in our department at least). So in 2005 we started implementing a system to handle this. We did find…

  • The solution to the classic NAV report upgrade challenge?

    Erik P. Ernst
    Erik P. Ernst
    Anyone familiar with upgrading customized classic Navision customers to the “new” role-tailored Dynamics NAV experience, knows that it can be a rather challenging and time consuming affair.  When it comes to upgrading forms to pages, Microsoft provides a transition tool. But there were not much help getting the classic reports migrated to RDLC. The function to suggest layouts in NAV 2009 were basically not useable, unless it was a very simple report. Today there are maybe 100000’s of customers …

  • The state of the Dynamics communities 2015

    Erik P. Ernst
    Erik P. Ernst
    It’s a very long time since I last wrote one of these “Status of the Dynamics community” updates here in my blog. In fact last time was on July 1st. 2009 ! And in October 2015 the Dynamics User Group can celebrate it’s 20 years anniversary! Compared to 2009, not that much has really changed, except I feel that it’s now even more difficult to find your way around in the Dynamics communities. In 2009 Microsoft’s own Dynamics Communities was still in its beginning. There were a lot of activity in especially…

  • Navision installations – from DOS to Hyper-V

    Erik P. Ernst
    Erik P. Ernst
    I’m sure I’m not the only Navision freelancer, who besides loving to understand and master Dynamics NAV, also likes to try out new computer stuff, including installing all the new NAV versions? In the old days, back when this website started in 1995, this was so easy. Classic installations Back then in the early days of Navision Financials, the first Windows version (released with Windows 95), there was really no need for something special. You just installed the clients, and used local copies…
