What does the planning flexibility field actually do and where does it appear? The planning flexibility field is available on a purchase order, a production order, and a transfer order. It used to keep these orders from being considered when you are running the "Planning Worksheet" at a later date since NAV wants to change and group orders for the sake of efficiency........

What does the NAV Change Log functionality do? This is a tool that allows you to track changes that have been made in the database and to help you monitor activity that is taking place in a particular area. You don't want to use this tool; however, for monitoring every table in the database that would cause too much overhead in the system.

Item Charges are used to record the costs for example for distributing, handling or transport of items. Item charges can be used for e.g. insurance, freight cost or custom duties.
The item charges will be added to the direct unit cost of the item purchased or sold, thus will affect the cost of goods sold and profit calculation.

When I heard the news yesterday about Microsoft buying Skype I was thrilled. As a frequent user of Skype I can tell you it is a great tool and I can’t wait for Microsoft to integrate Skype with its products. But obviously that will take some time and as Skype is absolutely free, I would say: don’t wait, download Skype now and start using it.
