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.

Well It Depends on What Time Zone You Are In.

I Recently Encountered A Problem Where A Web Service Returned A Different Date Value For The Today Variable When Ran As A Web Service.

The NAV Web Services provide a customizable API for external programs to use to get data from or write data to NAV using all of the available business logic and in an industry standard format. NAV Web Services can also be used to trigger functionality within NAV to be run.
