Can I undo a sales shipment?

847-590-3000 | [email protected] | @Solution_System

• Yes, there is a function on the posted sales shipment that allows you to undo a shipment. It assumes that the shipment has not been invoiced and that no item charges have been applied.

Can I copy an item?


•This is a very common request, especially from companies that create a lot of new items. Unfortunately, there is no copy function for an item. What you could do is to setup templates that can be used when creating new items.

How does NAV post production related activities into the general ledger?


•The posting into the general ledger is done through posting groups that you tag the items and work centers with. There are then setups where you define the G/L accounts for the different combination of posting groups/locations. For more information see my blog post related to production posting into general ledger.

What is the bin ranking?


•The bin ranking is used by NAV during put-away and picking. During put-away it applies the put-away template and uses the bin ranking to determine the highest ranked bin where the items should be put-away. During picking it uses the bin ranking to determine what bins to pick from first if the item is in multiple pick bins. The bins that are easiest to pick from (on the floor or close to the packaging area) should typically have the highest ranking.

What are global tables?


•Global tables have data that is shared among all the companies in the database. Example of a global table in standard NAV is the user and permissions tables. You create a global table by setting the DataPerCompany property on the table to No. Global tables are normally something you would stay away from if possible since it creates some complications when moving companies between databases etc.

Can Dynamics NAV handle versions of

production BOMs and routings?


•Yes, Dynamics NAV can handle routings and production BOMs in different versions. This way you can keep a history of what the previous versions looked like. Only one version is the active version at a given date. Using versions of production BOMs and routings are optional.

How do I reverse posted output


•You can reverse an output by posting a negative output (e.g. enter a negative number in the quantity field) through the production or output journal. If you have posted more than one output and you want to reverse one you will have to enter the Applies-to Entry field in the journal to define what output transaction you want to reverse.

Can I have negative inventory?


•Yes, assuming the item is not lot or serial number tracked and the location is not setup with bins. In the later versions (from 2013 and forward) there is also a field on the item card, Prevent Negative Inventory, that can be set to determine if you want to allow negative inventory or not. Normally you don’t want to allow negative inventory.

Can a customer be deleted?


•Yes, a customer can be deleted if there are no transactions on it within the current fiscal year and no open transactions (transactions = customer ledger entries or service ledger entries). There should also not be any sales documents (orders, quotes, invoices, etc.), jobs or service items for the customer. If deleted, the transactions will get a blank customer number. Think twice before deleting a customer with transactions.

Can Dynamics NAV handle multiple

companies?


•Yes, you can create as many companies as you want in each database. Typically you create a company per legal entity and maybe some consolidation companies. And of course, test companies. Companies within a database share the same functionality but the data is separated.
