NAVUG: Where Members Connect, Learn, and Share

Mark Rhodes

ur message of “connect, learn, and share” is on my mind more than ever. We’ve been focused on a number of improvements and upgrades to your community resources to help you do just that – connect with Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users, learn from each other and our impressive subject matter experts, and share your experiences to help others solve their challenges and avoid the same “gotchas”. There’s a good chance you’ve just completed or will be upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 this year. We’ve had many conversations with NAVUG Members over the past few months on upgrading, so we thought it appropriate for this issue to focus on that topic. Talk about an opportunity to connect, learn, and share! With any upgrade, the more you know going in, the better. Let us help you connect with those going through or having completed their upgrade, learn the opportunities and the gotchas, and share your experiences to make your upgrade more efficient. We’ll even try to answer the granddaddy of all questions: Should I upgrade or re-implement? While every situation is different, here are some of the common issues that our Members have found as they’re moving to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013: » Reports – The reporting structure has changed in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013. You’re going to want to take a good, hard look at your existing reports and evaluate whether you’re going to upgrade or rewrite them. Classic reports need to be rewritten, and even then, the “reports upgrade” may need some additional work, while it may be fine for some basic reports. Why not take this opportunity and do a much-needed review and overhaul? » Modifications – Depending on the modifications you’ve made and what areas in Microsoft Dynamics NAV they touch, they may or may not be an “easy move”. Make sure you have good documentation regarding your modifications so you can avoid surprises and re-testing later. » Your current Microsoft Dynamics NAV version – You can only really upgrade from Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013. If you want to go from Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013, you will need to go through Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009. You may want to re-implement as it could be more cost-effective. » Add-on compatibilty – Don’t forget to confirm that the add-on you have or want to implement is available for the version that you are upgrading to. » User training – If you’re still on classic, make sure you evaluate the degree of change in the User interface as you change to the Role-tailored client (RTC). Just remember: the search function will be your best friend! You’ll find a number of great insights and tips around upgrading in the pages that follow. We have even more opportunities to connect, learn, and share with fellow NAVUG Members via our live and pre-recorded webinars and other community resources. I strongly encourage you to leverage the User group community to help make your upgrade a smoother experience. We’re here to help. I hope you thoroughly enjoy this issue, and if you’re in Atlanta for Convergence, please say hi! To community,

Mark Rhodes, director of member value Spring 2014 | 5

What made you decide to become a NAVUG™ Board Member? It is a great opportunity for me to collaborate with others in sharing knowledge and experiences to improve the Microsoft Dynamics NAV User experience. What is your vision for NAVUG? For NAVUG to be the go-to resource for the Microsoft Dynamics NAV community. For Users and by Users, I see NAVUG constantly evolving to meet the needs of its network (Microsoft, businesses, Users).

Henning Lund COMPANY Partner Power International CONTACT INFO Hl@partnerpower.biz TITLE VP, senior executive advisor Microsoft Dynamics

What made you decide to become a NAVUG Board Member? I’ve worked with Microsoft Dynamics NAV for 25 years this year, and it has always been my passion. In a constantly changing market, we have to unite and work for the interests of the daily Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users and their organizations. When I visited NAVUG Forum (now Summit) in 2013, I felt the huge energy in the User community, and I would like to use my experience and global network to make it even stronger. I wish that Users would network and share more with other Users. The power of a community is not measured by the number of people in it, but by the amount and quality of the information they share. What is your vision for NAVUG? I want to make NAVUG a global sharing organization. It’s not that easy to manage a User group, and there can be many opinions to serve. I believe that NAVUG has the potential and the committed daily Users to make this a global success to the beneﬁt of the companies operating with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, the Users, the Partners, and Microsoft.

What made you decide to become a NAVUG Board Member? I wanted to help shape the focus and goal setting of NAVUG. Seventh Generation has gotten so much from being a NAVUG Member; my hope is to be able to give back a little bit. What is your vision for NAVUG? I would like to see an increase in the percentage of NAVUG Members who present webinars and sessions at conferences. What makes NAVUG such a terriﬁc organization is Users helping other Users. A wider variety of Users contributing will only help to strengthen our organization.

Data Masons has been a long-term, active supporter of NAVUG and is a strong advocate of the beneﬁts the organization brings to the Microsoft Dynamics NAV community. Recognizing the level of support we had been accustomed to providing, it was time to extend our level of commitment, and the NAVUG board provides us with an opportunity to do just that.

Given the momentum generated from Collaborate, I’m looking forward to seeing what’s to come next from NAVUG, and I appreciate the opportunity to execute on its initiatives.

Family Food Business Leverages Powerful Technology for Better Management

t TW Garner Food Company, quick and easy access to up-to-theminute data is important in a more immediate sense than it is for many companies. “Our Green Mountain Gringo line of fresh salsa and tortilla strips is the best you’ll find,” says Heyward Garner, one of three members of the fourth generation currently running the company. “It’s vegetables in a jar.” With product available in all 50 states, every U.S. military commissary worldwide, and at retail locations in many other countries, keeping track of more than six million jars of salsa annually, plus numerous other products, is a big job. Further complicating the task are the variety of storing and shipping methods and the different sales channels – retail, food service, industrial, and military. “It’s a massive amalgamation that’s fairly complex,” Heyward says. Heyward’s role blends brand extension, project management, and business development. “My job is to speak the language of all our departments and customers,” he says. He’s currently working on Cha!, which will be part of the Texas Pete® line of hot sauces, a world flavor that Heyward says is a response to consumer interest in sriracha. Like many employees, his roots in the company are a bit more humble. “I know how to stack boxes and load trucks,” he says. “But for my first official job, I gravitated toward IT.” That’s how, in 2009, he found himself shopping for an ERP system to replace the AS 400 he recalls as a glorified finance solution that had been shoehorned for TW Garner. “We needed more,” he says. “We needed analytics and reporting, warehouse management, a maintenance module. We didn’t have any of it.” The search started with eight vendors, four

of which were quickly eliminated. “As soon as we saw Microsoft Dynamics NAV, I was sold,” he says. “We were already a Microsoft shop, so it felt like a natural fit from the IT side. Plus we felt good about having a solution backed by Microsoft. We also thought it stood head and shoulders above the others in terms of the UI, the overall look and feel, the functionality, and the ease with which you can get data out for reporting.”

Better Data for Better Business Since going live in April 2012, Microsoft Dynamics NAV has more than lived up to Heyward’s expectations. First and foremost, Heyward says, are the reporting capabilities. “We’re in a highly competitive industry with relatively low margins, so being able to figure out on a very micro level where I’m making and losing money is huge,” he says. It’s the reporting, in fact, that helped defuse a potential family feud. The company used to make a line of jams and jellies that was losing money across the board. Discontinuing production was a delicate matter because the family had strong emotional ties to the line. “Our management team was able to look at real numbers. Numbers are unbiased,” Heyward says. “It wasn’t just one person’s opinion.” While that’s important in every business, it’s particularly so in those run by members of the same family. Although the warehouse management functionality was implemented recently, Heyward already cites it as one of the chief beneﬁts. “Our goal is to track everything we do from farm to fork,” he says. “With Microsoft Dynamics NAV, we’ve implemented a bin system and have bar codes on

forklifts and things like that rather than using paper and email to track everything. I can’t even begin to guess how much time we’re going to save.” Heyward says the third major benefit is AFS TradePro, formerly a separate entity but now a Microsoft Dynamics NAV plugin. “If you get a discount on our products using a grocery store’s loyalty card at the register, the grocery store – our customer – bills us for the amount of that discount,” Heyward explains. “We have so many promotional activities that it was very difficult to track promotions to sales. With no visibility, it was hard to determine what it costs us to do business with a specific store and coordinate promotions accordingly.”

NAVUG: Helping Get the Most Out of the Software Everything about Microsoft Dynamics NAV is enhanced by NAVUG membership. Employees attended NAVUG Forum (now known as NAVUG Summit) just before going live, and each year the company sends more. “People from each department go,” Heyward says. “Everyone comes back with a takeaway that they share out with the rest of the company.” Knowledge about Jet Reports gleaned at in-person gatherings and online events, for example, has resulted in a much deeper level of ﬁnancial analysis. Heyward doesn’t doubt that more valuable knowledge and insight are in the NAVUG pipeline. “The group introduces Users to new features that they’re maybe not aware of and is also a place for power Users to take a deep dive,” he says. “And everyone learns from meeting others and learning how they do things that we can emulate here to get the most out of our software.” NAVUG Spring 2014 | 13

NAVA2013 UPGRADE: USER’S EXPERIENCE

he list of new features and functionality for applications and technology in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 is endless, so it IS worth an upgrade, but as Steve Chinsky and Brad Prendergast shared in their recent presentation for NAVUG™ Members, there are numerous things

to consider… » Server and Microsoft Dynamics NAV Dimensions Improvements - Dimensions have been rebuilt, and 2013 servers are really robust and flexible. With a 64-bit and now a multi-tier architecture, Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 servers communicate directly with the SQL Server, and you also have the option to host in the cloud without losing speed and power. » Web Client - You can create pages on the Web client specific to different roles in your organization. With Steve’s team travelling all over the U.S., this was a key driving factor in making their upgrade decision. » Role-tailored Client (RTC) Improvements - Steve admits the cutand-paste features in 2009 were annoying, but now the screen in 2013 is clean and easier to navigate as well as personalize. » Posting Improvements - Steve was tired of getting the locked out messages of, “Sorry, someone else is in the system, please stand by.” In 2013, this has all been re-written so it doesn’t tie things up while people are posting transactions. Everyone can do their job when they want. You can also schedule the posts if you do have any issues so you don’t lose your work. » Office Integration - Steve’s organization is heavy into Microsoft Office, constantly using Outlook. So this was another key factor in making their decision. » Import/Export Entries via Excel - With Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013, you can make Microsoft Excel import/export entries with the standard set-up. This minimizes the amount of moving data around, reducing the amount of manual errors. » SharePoint Integration/Portal - This expansion to the entire Microsoft stack allows for more flexibility and continuity: You can run Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 in the cloud and integrate easier with third-party applications.

After considering these major points, here’s a look at exactly what Steve and Brad dealt with for their Microsoft Dynamics NAV upgrade… » Customizations - The great thing about Microsoft Dynamics NAV is that it can be transformed, but out of all the customization Steve had for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, they threw out a majority. The new features allowed them to expand on a top few, which goes to show this is a good time to analyze the customizations you have and how they react with other features 14 | NAVUG Magazine

and coding of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013.

» Reports - This was a little tough to swallow for Steve and Brad, but since the Visual Studio reports are gone, Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 reports need to be entirely rebuilt. In the end, it really made Steve and Brad analyze which reports they actually needed. Reports were painful: It’s not bad functionality in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you can do great things with it, but when upgrading, it’s time-consuming and difficult. Remember to take a look at what reports you actually need and pay close attention to the layout and positioning. » RTC Versus Web Client Access - The Web client made it easier to exploit the web for any one of Steve’s employees, so he built their own roles and their own pages. The combination of the two was a dream come true for him. It helps that the Web client looks just like Microsoft Dynamics NAV: same features, same movement, and same flow. It was beautiful to show because you don’t have to jump through multiple windows. » Historical Data - Steve’s organization deals with a lot of data and gets up to the 100GB level quickly. They had to ask themselves, “Should we a.) Bring over opening balances, GL history, and the basic stuff? or b.) Bring it ALL over.” Because all dimensions have been redone, it could save you tons of money and time if you just bring over the opening stuff and then have your Partner build a table of the old system so you can at least view that information if needed. Especially if you are on a version before 2009, you need to think about what’s important to transfer over. » Add-Ons - Steve had to make sure heavy integration worked for their e-Bank reconciliation with Wells Fargo to remain fully SOX compliant. Make sure you verify bringing add-ons forward and whether they are compatible with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 version.

So what does all this mean for you? Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 is the most impressive version out there, and it’s too bad it didn’t come out even earlier. The improvements have proved to greatly outweigh Steve and Brad’s concerns, and if you prepare, it makes the implementation and/or upgrade process much easier. Here are five key points to pay close attention to as you move forward in the evaluation process: » Add-ons - Are you up to date in maintenance? How many addons do you have, and how many do you want to keep? Are they certified, and do they work with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013? » Upgrade Versus Re-Implementation - Sometimes it’s more costeffective to re-implement depending on your situation. Brad mentioned that the upgrade toolkit for 2009-2013 works well, but if you have any versions before 2009, you have to get 2009, and then get the upgrade to 2013. Depending upon what you

Things have shifted; menus are better and easier to understand, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new way of working. Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organization started thinking about upgrade in late winter, and they took months to play/test the system through summer and early fall until it ďŹ nally went live. Now they love it and know how it works inside and out.

omething contrary to every headline is happening on Florida’s Gulf Coast: In the town of Bonita Springs, which sits between Naples and Fort Myers, things are being made. At its headquarters, Shaw Development LLC not only engineers turnkey fuel, hydraulic, and diesel emissions fluid (DEF) solutions, but it also manufactures them there as well. “We’re a small company that is growing,” says Laura Rhoad, the company’s director of human resources. “We’ve had double-digit growth for the last five years. At the moment, we’re adding to our building, and we’re expecting to more than double in size in less than two years.” That sort of growth hasn’t escaped notice. Shaw was named the 2012 Manufacturer of the Year by the Manufacturers Association of Florida as well as Manufacturer of the Year in Lee County. One of the factors fueling the growth is that the solutions Shaw Development manufactures take emissions out of diesel exhaust, something that is mandated for heavy duty off-road vehicles this year. But equally important to the company’s success, says Laura, is its spirit. That spirit was infused into the company first by the founder, Frank Shaw, and then by his son, Jim. “Jim Shaw is a very humble man, and I think the tone he set has lived on,” Laura says.

While Jim Shaw’s ﬁve daughters now own the business, one of the ways his commitment to being a good citizen both at and away from work can be seen through the company’s values: respect, honesty, trust, motivation, responsibility, and creativity. There is no shortage of evidence that those values are alive and well within the company. Even though there are approximately 75 hourly employees in the factory, there is no attendance policy because, as Laura explains, “people take responsibility so we don’t need one.” Among her peers, she reports that there are disagreements, but that they’re worked through respectfully and peacefully. And – sit down for this one – no oﬃce politics. “We live the values,” Laura says. “That’s what makes it such a great place to work.”

Sharing Good Fortune The citizenship doesn’t end at the property line. “We are grateful for our success, and we think it’s important to support the community that’s supported us,” Laura says. In addition to participating in local blood drives, Shaw employees participated in the American Cancer Society’s ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ and started an annual food drive for a local organization. “It was around the holidays, when everyone is worried about being able to go Christmas shopping and do something special for their families, so we decided it would be a good time to do something for people who are less fortunate,” Laura says. “We collected and donated more than 1,000 pounds of food to a local food bank.” The employees approached participation in the local Making Strides Walk with equal gusto. In fact, of the 122 companies in the same county that participated – many of which are considerably larger – Shaw came in seventh in terms of funds raised. “The walk tied in with our wellness initiative – Move It to Lose It – and it was also a nice way to acknowledge a few of our employees who are breast cancer survivors,” Laura says. “We had more than 100 people on our team for the 5K walk.” At Shaw, raising money for charity isn’t just for special occasions. Every Friday, employees pay $1 to wear jeans to work. That dollar is matched by the company, which is then matched personally by the president Kevin Hawkesworth, and ﬁnally by Jim Shaw. “So every dollar an employee donates to wear jeans yields $4 to charity,” Laura says.

A Good Place to Work Laura says that the commitment shown by employees to support worthwhile causes is a reﬂection of the pride employees take in working for a company that means business when it comes to valuing everyone’s contributions. “Our president is young, hip, and smart,” Laura says. “Once a month, we all get together in the cafeteria, and we go over the numbers. The numbers are what determine the bonus payments, so by communicating directly with employees, everyone sees the contribution they’re making. Transparency is so important.” Last but not least, the company’s commitment to helping employees develop professionally and to promoting from within whenever possible is key to Shaw’s reputation as a great place to work. After deploying Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Shaw joined the NAVUG so that the company’s IT team can learn about new ways to use the technology from other companies of a similar size. True to the company’s promotion philosophy, one member of the team worked his way through college on the factory ﬂoor; once he earned his degree, he was promoted to the IT team as soon as a position became available. “He can troubleshoot anything,” Laura says. “He’s our Microsoft Dynamics NAV genius.” NAVUG

TIPS & TRICKS

Five Tips & Tricks for Classic Users 1. Zoom to See All Field Values for a Record Why would you want to use Zoom? If you get an error when trying to post a document, you can use Zoom to troubleshoot the error by viewing all of the table data associated with this document.

2. Navigating Menus in V4 and V5 By default, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic Client tracks all of your active windows. So as you move between windows, Microsoft Dynamics NAV will highlight the corresponding menu item in the Navigation Pane. For example, you have the Customer card, a sales order, and posted sales invoices opened at the same time. As you click on each window, the Navigation Pane will highlight the new menu item, and sometimes, it will totally change the cascading view of menu items. Many Customers prefer to turn this feature oďŹ&#x20AC; because they do not want the Navigation Pane to change since it can save time when researching information.

3. Use Reconciliation Account to View Effect of Unposted Journal When entering manual Journal entries, Microsoft Dynamics NAV has a great feature that will help ensure that debits are debits and credits are credits. It is called Reconciliation account. To enable this account, check the box on the G/L Account Card.

22 | NAVUG Magazine

Before posting a particular entry, choose Posting > Test Report > Preview. Microsoft Dynamics NAV provides a great print preview that includes a section at the bottom labeled Reconciliation. In this section, you will ﬁnd the net change per account involved in the journal, what sign your ending balance will be, and what the actual balance is after posting.

4. Using Copy Document Function to Create the Same Documents Each Month This Copy Document function is a great tool for any new User of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This feature helps save time and can also help reduce errors. Whether you are on a purchase order, purchase invoice, sales order or a sales invoice, all you have to do is hit F3 to create a new document, go to the Functions button at the bottom of the form, and select Copy Document. Also, don’t forget that you can also use Copy Document for credit memos and return orders. When you create credit memos directly from the sales order, Microsoft Dynamics NAV will actually apply the two documents when you post the credit memo.

5. Finding Manual Entries in Control Account Control accounts are system-generated and should not allow direct posting. Sometimes Users will click “Allow Direct Posting” when they are posting adjustment journals. To find the inadvertent manual entries, open G/L Entries for the particular Control Account and add a filter for System Created Entries = No. This will show you all manual entries that you need to correct.

TOP COLLABORATE DISCUSSIONS

onversations are starting on NAVUG™ Collaborate, and we thought it would be fun to look back at some of the top discussions from last quarter. If you’d like more information on any of these topics, log on to NAVUG Collaborate (http://community.navug.com) to read the full conversation.

Accounts Receivable Aging Report 13 Replies As time has gone on, our Accounts Receivables Aging report (10040) has gotten to the point where it is nearly un-runable. It can take more than an hour and sometimes crashes. The only way we can get it to run reliably is to have it set to show details and sent to a PDF printer. We have had the latest hotﬁxes added, but it is still really bad. Has anyone had any success speeding this report up? Has anyone rewritten the report in SQL to speed it up? Kevin Fons |director of business systems | Saris Cycling Group

Block Item for Specific Customer 10 Replies Does anyone know of a way to block the shipment of an item for a specific customer (not all customers)? My guess is that a system modification/enhancement will be required to do this. Lewis Rosenberg | IT manager | Mars Fishcare

Item # as a Dimension 8 Replies When we went live with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, we were advised not to use low-level data elements as dimensions, such as customer and item. We implemented using higher-level dimensions such as customer channel and product category. These are helpful for some things, but more and more, we are seeing a need to have item # as a dimension. Does anyone else use item # or customer # as a dimension? How has it worked for you? Do you have any suggestions or recommendations? Jason Chance | senior programmer/analyst | Seventh Generation

Restored Test Database Only Works in 2009 R2 Classic Client 7 Replies I recently refreshed our test database for the ﬁrst time in a year, and now I can only access via Classic Client. RTC returns the following error: Metadata for object of type Table with id 2000000053 is in a failed state. This is caused by a previous exception: Compilation of assembly ‘C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\ MicrosoftDynamics NAV\60\Server\MicrosoftDynamicsNavServ 24 | NAVUG Magazine

er$MCNETT-TEST\assembly\Record2000000053.dll’ failed. This can be caused by diﬀerences between binaries in your installation or your database. Ensure that all installation components are consistent and up to date. Error details reference missing deﬁnitions for SalesSetupRead, SalesSetup, and tmpWindowsLoginGroup.

Mandatory / Required Fields in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 7 Replies Good morning. I am wondering what solutions people have employed to make select ﬁelds within Microsoft Dynamics NAV “mandatory” or “required” for completion on select records, such as a sales order, sales quote, item card, and other master records, etc. I believe Microsoft Dynamics NAV doesn’t support required ﬁelds native (at least in my version), but this seems like such a fundamental need of businesses, I am hoping to get some advice on this topic...Thanks! Joseph Smith | director of operations Creative Materials Corporation

Jobs and Accounts Receivable 6 Replies We are still in a very old version of Navision (2.0) and are in the beginning stages of re-implementing to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013. We are a moving company, and we work with the military and with a national moving agent. Both are bill-to customers for us. We register jobs with these customers, and they pay us based on agreements we have with them. We do not invoice them. We enter an invoice to record the revenue and the receivable, and then we wait for payment. They pay us referencing the job number that they assigned when we registered the job with them. They will NEVER reference our invoice number. Does anyone have any suggestions how we might manage this since job number isn’t in the customer ledger? We need to be able to not only know how much a customer owes us in total, but also we need to be able to know that we’ve received all the money we are owed by job. We have hundreds of jobs per month with one customer, and we regularly record revenue incorrectly and only know what the correct amount is when we receive payment so we have to be able to reconcile by job and correct our revenue. Thank you! Julie Burdette | Navision programmer | Lile International NAVUG

Marko Perisic

Marko Perisic, director of program management, Microsoft Dynamics NAV

NAVUG™: Tell me about your tenure with Microsoft. Marko Perisic (MP): I’ve been with Microsoft for eight years now. At the beginning of my career here, I was responsible for the metadata server and developer tools of Microsoft Dynamics AX. I then transitioned to Microsoft Dynamics NAV, which was a more interesting product for me because the SMB market is so fascinating: So fragmented, so many players, so many challenges, so many opportunities to act fast and to ultimately make a big difference. NAVUG: Tell me a bit about your current role at Microsoft. MP: My role is to head the program management (PM) organization for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Program managers are responsible for converting market needs into a product. They don’t write code, but they need to interact with development teams. They don’t do business planning, but they need to interact with product marketing and understand the business. NAVUG: What do you love most about the work you do and the role you play at Microsoft? MP: To me, it is the most exciting role to have in Microsoft. You play a different aspect of the role almost every day: One day you are in deep discussion with engineers on what to build; the next day, you are looking at market figures, all while interacting with Partners and Customers. We (program managers) are where the “sea water mixes with fresh water”, between business development and product development, and it is ultimately our responsibility that those two sides understand each other, and that what we build is the right product for our Partners and Customers. I’ve been in this role at various levels since I joined Microsoft, and it is a privilege that I am heading the PM organization for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The best part of my weekday is still the moment I wake up and head to work. NAVUG: Can you pinpoint an example of what makes your work worthwhile? MP: It’s whenever I see Partners and Customers excited about our product, whenever I hear them

28 | NAVUG Magazine

publically making “we love it” statements about an ERP software solution. The biggest compliment our organization ever got is when we learned that some Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users, when they leave their company for a new company, demand from their management to implement Microsoft Dynamics NAV because they love using it that much. Every single person in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV organization loves this product. That makes our day, any day. NAVUG: What is your team working on now? MP: We are currently working on Microsoft Dynamics NAV codename “CRETE”. We have a tradition of codenaming every new release after a Mediterranean island. We are building a lot of great new functionality into it. We cannot wait to reveal it. Soon. But not in this interview. NAVUG: We understand. - Can you share more information about the solution’s roadmap? MP: The software industry is moving at a ridiculous pace. There are new technologies, new requirements, new capabilities, and trends emerging on a weekly basis. To create a detailed roadmap for the next ﬁve years of what we are going to do exactly is the same as saying, “we will ignore market input from this point for the next ﬁve years”, or a better version, “here it is, but right now it is probably invalid, and it will change every month”. This is why we have transformed our organization into an agile R&D organization, running scrum at scale. We focus on completeness, quality, and eliminating any functional or technical debt in the process. This gives us the ability to quickly scope in and out investments as we discover new needs and trends in the fast-moving software world. This has already generated tremendous success in our 2013 and 2013R2 releases. We were able to react to changes in the market so rapidly, and to deliver the right value to customers. To not have a detailed roadmap is not the same as to say we don’t have a direction. Microsoft Dynamics NAV has always been about ERP functionality. In recent years we have transformed it into a modern ERP solution, where functionality is still critical, but the experience and the (cloudready) platform are just as important. Microsoft

Dynamics NAV is now future-proof, running “in” Oﬃce 365, and “on” Azure. We will continue to push on all three fronts: Richer functionality, omnipresent experience on all devices, and state-ofthe-art service that can run in the public cloud, private cloud, and on-premise. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is one of the few (if not the only) ERP products that has made that successful transition, all in the name of ensuring that our Customers get the most value out of their investment. Our agility is our biggest asset in ensuring we continue to do that. NAVUG: How does your team work with Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users? What types of interaction do you ﬁnd most valuable? MP: In addition to formal input, such as Support and Connect, we do many other interactions. We interact with our key Partners

and Customers through a program called ACE (Agile Customer Engagement). They participate closely in the development process, providing continuous input and validation. We also have something called TAP (Technology Adoption Program), where select Partners nominate a Customer to go live on the release we are building. This is essential. We do not ship until we have Customers going live with our product. We have conferences where we have roundtables with Partners and Customers. We do road shows where we visit Partners, and in some cases, Customers. We participate in NAVUG conferences, and I am happy to have a close relationship with NAVUG. Making Partners and Customers happy is at the core of our business, and thereby, working with Partners and Customers is at the core of how we do business. NAVUG

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 3.7 was starting to show its age, our sales team wanted to get into CRM, Microsoft would inevitably stop oﬃcially supporting our version, system performance worsened as the company grew and we added Users and grew the databases, and the list of feature complaints started to reach its tipping point. After gaining exposure to newer systems and seeing what we could accomplish in the mobile space with cell phones and tablets, the itch to take it to the next level grew even more. We also saw how third-party support was growing in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV community, so we were excited to see what solutions could improve our business processes beyond what Microsoft Dynamics NAV could do natively. We knew it was worth the time and investment.

We’re currently planning a reimplementation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Our current install will be four years old at the time of our go-live in fall 2014, but our company has grown 10 times its size from our original go-live, and our needs are very diﬀerent today than what we needed four years ago. A reimplementation will allow us to start from scratch with the company that we are now. As we plan out our upgrade, we have documented our current business processes in detail as well as noted the modiﬁcations that are used to support those processes. We’re really looking forward to better remote connectivity, improved posting performance, and mobile connectivity with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013. NAVUG

Wolters Kluwer, CCH

COMPANY: Wolters Kluwer, CCH INTERVIEW: David Kelly, national strategic alliance manager WEBSITE: www.salestax.com HEADQUARTERS: Riverwoods, Illinois PHONE: 877-570-2785 EMAIL: David.kelly@wolterskluwer.com NAVUG™ PARTNER MEMBER SINCE: 2011

NAVUG: Tell me a little bit about your company. David Kelly (DK): Wolters Kluwer, CCH is a leading global provider of tax, accounting, and audit information, software, and services. Our company has served tax, accounting, and business professionals since 1913 and is dedicated to providing the most relevant feature set on the market for sales and use tax solutions, backed by the most respected subject-matter authority on tax. NAVUG: Other than the invention of the computer, how have things changed since 1913? DK: We have greatly evolved as a company, moving forward with technology, mobile solutions, and becoming an industry leader in advanced software development. Where we were once primarily focused on creating tax and law publications in our early years, now we can help companies directly by providing the best tax and accounting software for research and compliance on the market. NAVUG: What type of solutions and services do you offer Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users? DK: Sales Tax Office for Microsoft Dynamics NAV has been groundbreaking for Users. In addition to automating sales tax calculations, Users can integrate that data with online shopping carts and more – all while being confident in accurate content and calculations. So, at a high level, we focus on providing our clients accurate content, calculations that automate processes to ensure

compliance, and consulting services that assist along the way. NAVUG: What does your client base look like? DK: Tax is a very complicated, ever-changing moving target that really affects us all, but we work closely with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, professional services, and rental companies. NAVUG: What sets Wolters Kluwer apart from other tax solutions for Microsoft Dynamics NAV? DK: We completed the CFMD (Certified for Microsoft Dynamics) process at the end of 2013, which we are very excited to announce, but we also have an estimated 30 full-time researchers at CCH keeping up with the sales and use tax changes in-house. This really sets us apart from the rest and makes us a one-stop shop that companies can count on. Our motto is, “When you have to be right”, and having those researchers solely dedicated to keeping us and our software as upto-date as possible makes us the software provider to work with. NAVUG: What do Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users love most about your solutions? DK: In addition to having all our development in-house, we also offer specialty services, such as when you know you’re not collecting tax correctly and want to divulge that information to become compliant or if you’re breaking into a new

vertical and need taxability research studies conducted for quality information. NAVUG: What does Wolters Kluwer have in store for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users in 2014? DK: Since we’ve completed the CFMD process, we will continue to develop for the latest and greatest Microsoft Dynamics NAV releases, making this a continual investment with enhancements to our core sales tax oﬀering. We also plan to be involved in NAVUG Summit as well as Directions. Both are great opportunities for Users to get involved.

TIPS & TRICKS

Three Tips & Tricks for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2 Users 1. Creating New Companies Within Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2, you have two options when creating a new company. The former method of going to the Development Environment File > Company > New is not available with R2. You have two options: » Option 1. In RTC, navigate to the listing of companies. Using the ribbon, you can create a new company or copy an existing company. » Option 2. You can create a new company by using the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2 Administration Shell. You have to be the administrator. Right click on the Administration Shell and select Run as administrator as shown.

Powershell will open. To add a new company, type in NewNavCompany at the prompt. You will be prompted for the New Company Name. Next, you will be asked for the ServerInstance. This is the portion that follows the port name, such as localhost:7046/ DynamicsNAV71

2. Help Server The days of updating Help Text on every client are in the past. With Microsoft Dynamics 2013 R2, Microsoft has added the Help Server component into the product. You can install it to your IIS server. The Help Text content is the same whether you are accessing from the Windows client or web client.

3. Renumbering Document Numbers in Journals If the No. Series field on the journal batch is filled in, the posting function in general journals requires that the document number on individual or grouped journal lines be in sequential order. To make sure that you do not receive posting errors because of the document number order, you can use the Renumber Document Numbers function before you post the journal. If related journal lines were grouped by document number before you used the function, they will remain grouped but may be assigned a different document number. This function also works on filtered views. Any renumbering of document numbers will respect related applications, such as a payment application that has been made from the document on the journal line to a vendor account. To find Renumber Document Numbers, enter General Journals in the Search box. When you are ready to post the journal, on the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Renumber Document Numbers.

Business Intelligence for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 by Rich Beliveau

recently came across two very interesting and lengthy definitions created by Microsoft for Microsoft Dynamics NAV and business intelligence (BI). According to Microsoft, Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a multilanguage, multi-currency business management solution that helps small and mid-sized businesses manage their financials, supply chain, and people to create experiences that delight their Customers. It is quick to implement and easy to use, with the power to support your growth ambitions. Microsoft also states that BI turns information into action through data gathering, analysis, monitoring, and forecasting to identify opportunities, minimize risk, and improve management insight. In my opinion, BI for Microsoft Dynamics NAV is making sure business decision makers have the right information, at the right time, and in the right format to make informed judgments about their business. It allows Users to make recommendations and take action today on tomorrow’s business issues. At NAVUG™ Academy, we believe that business intelligence should be in the forefront of your Microsoft Dynamics NAV learning plan. As such, we offer several Microsoft Dynamics NAV BI classes throughout the year.

Reporting in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 101 Using RTC (Role Tailored Client):

depth training session, students learn the fundamental principles of account schedule construction. Using hands-on exercises, students have the opportunity to apply what they learn during class. Students are able to create a basic trial balance and master the three basic account schedule building blocks: row setups, column layouts, and analysis views. They will also discover how to filter financial reports by dimensions, layer in budgeted information, and produce reports by exporting to Microsoft Excel® in the most efficient way possible. Coupled together, Creating Microsoft Dynamics NAV Datasets for SSRS Reports and Creating Views and Reports with SSRS will enable organizations to realize the full potential of their SQL Server Reporting Services deployments for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The first step in learning how to leverage Microsoft Dynamics NAV data outside of the solution is to understand how to build a dataset. Datasets are required to join data between two or more tables or companies. They are also required to encapsulate and summarize data from a production system to a reporting system or data warehouse. Once the datasets are created, students can start creating SSRS reports that include grouping, totaling, charts, and graphs. They can also create customized report subscriptions that enable reports to be automatically generated and delivered. More information on these Academy classes can be found at the NAVUG Academy Distance Learning site: www.navug.com/ academydl2014. NAVUG

This is a great introduction to reporting in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. In just a few short hours, students will be able to not only build and modify basic and complex reports, but also have the foundation they need to write reports in the RTC. This introductory class will show students how to create and modify simple and advanced reports through a hands-on virtual classroom environment, enabling them to get down and dirty with Microsoft Dynamics NAV’s RTC.

Account Schedule Basics for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 RTC: Account schedules are a powerful tool used to create custom ﬁnancial statements directly from your Microsoft Dynamics NAV general ledger. In this in40 | NAVUG Magazine
