We at iNECTA have been servicing Dynamics NAV customer for over 10 years now.
Through out the years we have done alot of modifications to this great product. We understand that some of these mods might work for other dynamics fans out there.

We have seen before that there is definite value in being able to vie w the up to date aging of inventory. We took it a step further and made it real time. This product we call Real Time Inventory Aging, RTIA for short.
We have started up a site under our iNECTA.com site which will display all our addons.

Here you can see a fact sheet with screenshots of the product.

Please keep checking for future updates!

The client has 55 NAV users.  People are getting anxious.  Today we went through a list of items left to be finished.  Half of the list was finished by day end.  We are projecting to finish the rest tomorrow.  All departments have been trained, but retraining has been requested.  Everyone has been urged to go into the demo system and try out their day to day activities.

Warehouse seems to have the least confidence, since they are moving to scanning inbound and outbound product.  Whereas before, no scanning was performed on control points.  We will be focused on increasing the confidence level, of the warehouse.

Going to bed… long day.  More tomorrow.

Item tracking is a thorny field.  You are forced to select between traceability and performance.  If you aspire to get too much, it will bite you back.

 When it comes to reporting in almost any ERP, there is a world of choices.  Any report tool that can speak ODBC, can communicate with any database that speaks ODBC, which is most of databases today.

When I am asked about reporting in Dynamics NAV, I usually rattle off: SSRS, JetReports, Crystal Reports, FRx and Targit.  I also emphasize the fact that Dynamics NAV reduces the need for regular reports by making the data easier to access through forms and filters.

 A sales price or an invoice amount is easy to track and report on.  Once a sales transaction is done the total amount is the total sale.  That’s it.  But when we look at the cost of that sale in order to arrive to a profit the equation becomes a lot more fuzzy.

If we do not keep our eye on the profit, then there is not much need for a sophisticated ERP.  So let’s dive a little bit into one aspect of costing as it pertains to NAV.

The field of ERP is vast and very complicated.  I have been doing this for longer than I care to remember now and am still learning new things, both technical details and broad concepts.  As every person who is involved in technology knows, the ground we stand on changes every minute.
