Olof Simren - Microsoft Dynamics NAV & 365 Business Central Blog

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 was released last week. I have installed it and poked around in the new functionality a bit and there are some awesome improvements and new features. 🙂 Through this blog post I share some of my thoughts on some of the new functionality. The look and feel when first launching the […]

This blog post is about the return merchandise (or material) authorization process in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, this is another topic that is more or less always discussed during Dynamics NAV implementations.

Do you know that you can create sales quotes without having a customer created in Microsoft Dynamics NAV? It’s been like that as long as I can remember but surprisingly many users and also consultants don’t know this and I have seen lots to workarounds with generic ‘quote customers’, etc. This is a quick blog […]

When doing this the production orders are reserved against the sales order lines and they also inherits the dimensions from the sales order lines. The quantity on the production orders equals the base quantity on the sales order […]

This is an old but still relevant topic; on sales documents (quotes, orders, invoices, return orders, etc.) in Microsoft Dynamics NAV you have the option to specify a separate bill-to customer. The bill-to customer is obviously who gets the invoice and where the accounts receivables end up, while the sell-to customer is who you are […]
