Most of us know that you can use the CHANGECOMPANY function in NAV to change the target company for a query in NAV to allow us to perform C.R.U.D. operations against a table in another NAV Company. While that can be pretty handy for reading data, it has several difficiencies when we want to perform an INSERT, MODIFY or DELETE. The biggest difference is that any Triggers that get triggered actually get run against the Company where the code is being executed from and not against the target company. With the advent of the NAV Web Services we have a new alternative.

The Statement of Direction and roadmap for Microsoft Dynamics NAV gives you the overview of the roadmap and plans from 2011 and next 2-3 major releases.

As part of the Business Ready Customer Care initiative announced October 2007, Microsoft is providing ongoing roadmap visibility through comprehensive statements of direction that provide our customers with insight into the planned product innovations at least 12-18 months in advance of the next version release. Learning about future technology innovations in advance, will help you more efficiently manage your infrastructure and undertake product and IT planning with greater foresight.

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.

Permissions has always been one of those necessary evils, with many ways to setup and manage permissions in NAV.  In this blog, we are going to go over adding a new role. If your organization requires more than the predetermined security roles, you can create more specific roles to meet your needs.

In NAV classic client, with Navigation Pane Designer, you can change menus for other users, groups of users or for every user. Design your own menus and have the users see only menu items they have permissions for setup in the user-roles.

For one reason or another it may occasionally be necessary to "Delete/Rename" the NAV User Configuration File for a user that is experiencing a problem with NAV. The File Name, Path and what the Configuration file actually stores depends on the client (Classic or RTC) that the user is using.
