MemberJanuary 26, 2024 at 8:55 am in reply to: Allocations (not reservations) Issues – Business Central::@tracytrippler – I know how you feel. Yes, the Link from SO demand to the PROD Order is removed after the Item is manufactured and Prod Order finished. I have had several customers pull their hair out because of this. May I suggest a solution that has help other customers of mine who Allocate inventory and have priorities they want to consider… Look at Cavallo Order Management APP. For decades, in the NAV and BC world, we have to live with Reservations and trying to manage Orders, Customer Priorities, and supply and demand. I have always wished their was a way to just Allocate or provide an Allocation rule to NAV/BC. I then was asked to look at Cavallo Order Management and it answered the missing functionality. Take a look: https://www.cavallo.com/our-solutions/bc/business-central/
I do have one underlying question though, when your Item is Make-to-Order and the Sales Order links to the Production Order, after creating the Prod Order, you might consider that Item have a reservation since it will stick with the Item Output and transfer to picking Bin for shipment. You might not want reservations, and I understand, so look at Cavallo.
Hope this helps.

MemberJanuary 10, 2024 at 11:30 am in reply to: Shipping software for BC21 on premise that has LTL api rate and tracking capable::@rmumawmastermeter-com – NAV or BC have a few Shipping APPs out there. However, you are looking for LTL connectivity or at least the ability to work with LTL. E-Ship, by Lanham Associates, has an LTL functionality. I have used this several times in the past and it work s as prescribed. Here is a link: https://www.lanhamassoc.com/e-ship-and-e-receive-extension.htm#ltl
Another LTL Shipping APP is Insight Works Ship LTL Parcel for Dynamics 365 Business Central. Here is a link: https://dmsiworks.com/features/2ship-ltl-parcel-for-dynamics-365-business-central
I have used both and they do work with LTL’s. You say you are using Dynamic Ship but is it the Ship LTL APP? I would contact Insight Works or your Partner to resolve this. I think you might need 2Ship APP.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Lewis,
Sadly, maybe one day, NAV and BC only had the ability to create an electronic file that conformed to IRS specifications. You would then upload the form to the IRS on their website.
Search for: Vendor 1099 Magnetic Media and you are off an running. Nothing to change just run and save file locally.
Thanks,
Steve

MemberJanuary 8, 2024 at 11:01 am in reply to: File Storage and Business Central::@kristafoster – Teams is not a tool for storage of documents, like DocXtender or SharePoint. DocXtender can use SharePoint and allow you to build a schema for storing documents. You might think about using the SharePoint Connector APP (SharePoint Connector – EFOQUS). I have used both. Each offers its own solution for what you need. I know DocXtender is free but the SharePoint Connector has a cost of around $2400/per year. It offers more functionality between BC and SharePoint. Consider looking at this to solve your requirements for short dollars.
Thanks,
Steve

MemberJune 22, 2023 at 11:58 am in reply to: Customized Business Central to streamline entering Payables Transactions::@Steve Simon – Is this an APP in AppSource and certified by Microsoft? or more an extension you designed for your customers? If the latter you can default GL Accounts using Recurring Purchase Lines, just an FYI.
I wanted to echo Kim’s reply that we are not using the Forum to self-promote personal extensions.
Thanks,
Steve

MemberJune 5, 2023 at 2:55 pm in reply to: Decimal places for Unit/Standard cost::Joseph,
Adding to Dave’s reply… Most user would run Inventory Valuation report to reconcile Inventory to GL, but you should not use that report as it is wrong. You should be running the Inventory to G/L Reconcile report. This will show you the starting Inventory Valuation (dollars) and then your reconciling transactions (Received Not Invoiced, Shipped Not Invoiced, and Manufacturing Output where Production Order is still open). This will also show the G/L Entries posted for each Item and reconcile to the sub-ledger report you just ran.
Try this.

MemberMarch 23, 2023 at 1:46 pm in reply to: Nav2018 upgrade to BC – Links to files coming across::@firefighter – I have not but a thought that you could puh the links to SharePoint and then connect the records. You might consider asking eFOCUS who works heavily in SharePoint and linking data.

@andrewstiles – The image you show does not look Standard for the Planning Worksheet or Requisition Worksheet. Do you have an APP or Extension to add the 2 questions you show (Include Planning Suggestions and Blanket Orders)?
