Mark Rhodes

Raise your hand if you use an add-on tool with your Microsoft Dynamics NAV

system.

I’m pretty sure most (maybe all?) hands are raised. Did you know that

Microsoft Dynamics NAV was never meant to provide all the functionality

needed by every business in every industry around the entire world? When you hear

it phrased like that, it makes perfect sense, but it’s easy to fall into the trap of being a bit

disappointed when you discover gaps in functions and features, or you try to make the system

do things it’s not meant to do. Fortunately (and if you’ve ever worked with another ERP

system you’ll be nodding) Microsoft Dynamics NAV is wonderfully configurable to a variety

of situations and business processes. But unfortunately (and if you’re evaluating an upgrade

you’ll be nodding) this can be a curse, too, as you may be facing a real challenge on how to

keep those customizations in place.

So, why not embrace the universe of add-on tools that are available to help you get from the

proverbial 80 percent solution to the full-business support? It would take an encyclopedia to

cover all the solutions out there for Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Side note: Everyone still knows

what an encyclopedia is, right? Or did I just show my age?), so in this edition of NAVUG™

Magazine, we’ve given you some insight with add-ons. We asked our Members to comment

on what they use and how, our Microsoft Dynamics NAV MVPs to share some of the free or

low-cost add-ons available, our Premium Member Partners to share their thoughts on best

practices and tips for installing an add-on product, and of course, our Premium Solution

Partners on what you should do when researching add-ons. And if you’ve heard the term

“CfMD”, we sat down with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV team to find out what it is and why

that’s an important acronym to know about.

I hope you enjoy the variety included in this magazine. If you’re so enthralled you end up

taking the magazine with you to some interesting vacation spot, snap a picture of yourself

enjoying an article and post it on Collaborate (http://community.navug.com).

See you at NAVUG Summit!

Meet Anne & JohnAnne is a finance professional for a manufacturing company. She considers herself a savvy accounting professional and an intermediate Dynamics NAV user. Having heard about NAVUG Summit from a friend, she thought it might be the perfect place to learn how others handle reporting in Dynamics NAV. She used the ‘Convince My Boss’ template to make her case for attending and submitted it to her manager, John. He not only agreed to Anne’s participation - he decided to join her. They’re preparing for an upgrade and will use the event to gain feedback and advice from others who’ve done so.

NAVUG Summit 2014You’ve Got To Experience It!

Next up were Partner Showcase sessions, giving the pair a great opportunity to learn from some of the top Dynamics NAV experts in the industry and see their Dynamics NAV add-on solutions in action. They attended showcases on accounts reconciliation and EDI integration, soaking in a lot of great knowledge and discovering new ways of thinking about managing financials with Dynamics NAV.

A couple more dynamite sessions, and its back to the Expo Hall for a well-deserved cocktail reception. The pair grabs a cold drink and a bite to eat, then sets out to chat with a number of exhibitors. With more than 250 booths in the Expo Hall, they plan to make the most of every Expo hour that’s offered during the event – it’s such a great way to learn about what’s available in the community!

Phew! One day down, and Anne and John have already captured a list of ideas they plan to implement when they get home….and there’s still 2 more days of sessions, networking, and Expo to go! As first time attendees, there are a few key things that have surprised Anne and John about the NAVUG Summit experience…

The buzz. Everywhere they went, there were folks talking Dynamics NAV – in the hallways, during breaks…even at the local watering

holes at night!

The interaction. The sessions they attended were quite intimate and attendees engaged in active conversations around the topic

at hand.

The learning. They’d underestimated just how much they could learn from other users and were amazed at how many other folks

experience challenges similar to theirs.

The impact. Anne and John met fellow Dynamics NAV users who not only provided great insight at the event, but who will be go-to

resources for them in the months and years ahead!

Every year, we ask NAVUG Summit attendees what they like best about the event and why they keep coming back. Many of the responses fall along the lines of “It’s just such a great experience!” Walk with us as we explore the typical experience of a NAVUG Summit attendee.

The Experience Begins

Anne and John began cashing in on their NAVUG Summit experience as soon as they registered (months before the event!). They explored the 125 sessions and each built their own personal schedule of the sessions they planned to attend. It helped them get acquainted with the speakers and even see who else is attending each

session (and their daily schedules will be emailed to them each morning during the event). They used the ‘NAVUG Summit 2014 St. Louis’ community on NAVUG Collaborate to share their objectives and some of the specific issues they are hoping to address in St. Louis. Doing so helped them meet other attendees with similar goals, and they even made dinner plans for St. Louis with some fellow attendees from the manufacturing industry.

Day 1 in St. Louis

The pair chatted over breakfast on Wednesday morning with some fellow Dynamics NAV users they’d met at pre-conference training courses the previous day. They compared notes on some of the add-on solutions they’d discovered at the Welcome Reception in the Expo Hall on Tuesday evening. Breakfast was buzzing that morning - old friends were catching up, new connections were being made, and everyone was excited for an invigorating opening session to kick-start the day.

After a great networking lunch, John opted for a little change of pace and decided to participate in a session from the Leadership track. What a great experience! While the focus of Summit is on using Dynamics NAV, he was pleased to also have the opportunity to pick up some new ideas to help him more effectively lead his team.

navugsummit.com™

With 5 blocks of breakout sessions on this one day alone, Anne and John set out to collectively attend 10 sessions, focusing on their unique roles and how their company uses Dynamics NAV. Anne choose sessions like “50 Tips in 50 Minutes for Finance” and “Shop Floor Reporting” while John opted for “Defining and Using KPIs and Measurables” and “Implementing Fixed Assets”.

Joseph Gallo Farms

Headquartered in Northern California, the Gallo family

has produced the finest quality farm products since 1946.

What began as a small family farm has now grown into an

internationally recognized brand. The Joseph Farms label

symbolizes all natural, world-class quality cheese.

Joseph Gallo Farms is a model of total integration, balancing

business and environmental concerns to maintain dairy,

farming, and cheese making operations. Microsoft Dynamics

NAV at Joseph Gallo Farms is the glue that keeps everything

together. It helps manage and track all facets of the company’s

business while continuing to scale with its growing business

needs.

As a result of Joseph Gallo Farms’ expansion plans and desire

to move into new markets, the company felt that becoming a

NAVUG Premium Member would provide the tools needed to

be successful. 

“We joined NAVUG as a Premium Member specifically

because of the forums (a.k.a. NAVUG Collaborate). This

resource is a ‘must have’ for both Users and techs working

with Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The community of Users is

active, knowledgeable, and not afraid to share, which means

the responses contain valuable perspectives and feedback,” says

Peter Lundrigan, IT manager at Joseph Gallo Farms. “Even if

you are just a Collaborate stalker, you are bound to pull out

that one piece of information or shortcut that will make you

more efficient or just a little more wise. The key is you are

communicating with like-minded people and you are sure to

find someone who has similar issues, questions, or concerns. As

this community continues to grow, this resource will only get

better.” NAVUG

A love for hobbies can manifest great

things, and Stonewall Kitchen

is no exception. In 1991, the

company’s two founders expanded

on their love of food, entertaining,

and gardening and started selling items at local

farmers’ markets in New England. Since the early

’90s, they have grown to offering more than 400

specialty food items and 2,000+ complementary

items, selling internationally across 42 different

countries. Stonewall Kitchen manufactures 80

percent of these goods and exemplifies the true

meaning of selling through a multi-sales channel.

With 11 company stores throughout New England

and Maryland, three million catalogs mailed a

year, more than 1.5 million unique visitors per year

on its ecommerce website, and 6,000 wholesale

accounts covering “ma-and-pop” shops to large

national chains such as Whole Foods and Macy’s,

Stonewall Kitchen has to have product tracking

ability like no other.

This is where tech gurus Andrea Hall (IT

director) and Jason Wilder (senior application

developer) come in. Both Andrea and Jason have

been with Stonewall Kitchen for 16 years and

started right before the company bought Microsoft

Dynamics NAV, then known as Navision. As part

of their roles, they oversee the IT department and

manage system applications, as well as project

manage system implementation and strategy

planning. With their entire IT department in-

house, Stonewall Kitchen stays in control while

focusing on maintaining security and improving

productivity, all with the help of Andrea’s and

Jason’s “favorite software ever”, Microsoft

Dynamics NAV.

Multi-Sales Channel

Prowess

“The main reason we picked Microsoft

Dynamics NAV was because of its flexibility,”

Andrea says. Stonewall Kitchen operates on a

multi-sales channel, one that requires certain

customizations to make the sales order process

fit different order types with different behaviors,

all while keeping their data integrated. Andrea

continues, “Microsoft Dynamics NAV lets us

be the business we want to be. It really helps us

manifest any business idea or strategy we can

think up!”

In addition to customizing Microsoft Dynamics

NAV to fit their sales process, Stonewall Kitchen

has implemented a couple important timesaving

add-ons that help make automation a reality.

Jason shares, “Our credit card add-on solution,

ChargeLogic, saves us so much time. We used to

manually enter credit card information. Now it’s

all automated and very secure within Microsoft

Dynamics NAV.” He continues, “It is changes

like these that make it possible to have the same

software for years and years.”

Stonewall Kitchen also implemented a custom

job scheduler many years ago, enabling them to

automatically post invoices any time of day and

run several alerts to call out any errors so nothing

is missed. Andrea says, “This automation in

Microsoft Dynamics NAV has saved us tons of

labor hours and reduces manual error.”

Microsoft Dynamics NAV

2013, Here We Come!

To say Andrea and Jason are excited about

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2 would be an

understatement. After naming off a number of

their favorite enhancements, it was surprising

to hear they weren’t yet working in the system.

After a warehouse management solution

implementation, Stonewall Kitchen will start the

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2 upgrade this

summer and will go live with the solution early

next year. Andrea says, “In some ways, we feel

behind, but there are many companies just not

there yet.” She continues, “We can hardly contain

our excitement, though! It’s impressive to see the

ongoing investment Microsoft makes in Microsoft

Dynamics NAV. Just a few years ago, we would

have had to put in our own custom code, but now

we can simply adopt the mainstream functionality

in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013.”

NAVUG: Not Just for Us

“Techies”

As relatively new NAVUG Members, yet long-

time Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users, both

Andrea and Jason are impressed with what’s

available. “Right away, I thought it was more

focused on the technical side of the solution, but

after checking out the forums and speaking with

NAVUG Members, I realize our non-technical

people can benefit as well,” Andrea shares.

She also had a great experience at Convergence

in March, attending a roundtable discussion hosted

by NAVUG. “It was a small group of 10 people, and

out of that group, I exchanged business cards with

seven and have already followed up with three of

them. From this meeting, I can tell NAVUG is a

concentrated group that is eager to learn from

each other.”

Making Waves in the Food

and Beverage Industry

Andrea and Jason are continuing this trend of

learning from each other by starting up a food

and beverage manufacturing Special Interest

Group (SIG) within NAVUG. This is the fifth

largest industry group within the community,

and with such a sizable group, Andrea and

Jason are excited to share valuable knowledge

across the sector and brainstorm best practices

with like-minded individuals. “We’re planning

to do a mix of open discussions and planned

presentations, touching on topics including

FDA requirements, food terrorism, lot control,

handling recalls, and more.” Andrea concludes,

“We’re in such a unique business with different

requirements, so it’s important to learn from

one another.” NAVUG

“Right away, I

solution, but

Researching Add-on Products

t t&TIPS & TRICKS

Sarah DeSantis

Data Masons Software

When evaluating solutions to complement your Microsoft

Dynamics NAV investment, a majority of the time your focus is on

finding a remedy to a particular pain point. Unfortunately, this also

means that you focus mainly on the solution – cost, integration,

reputation, etc. – but what you may be doing in the process is

diminishing the value of support as it relates to the ROI of your

investment. To protect your Microsoft Dynamics NAV investment,

look for solution providers that make your business their business.

This means having dedicated, fast-acting support services along

with meeting all of your other technology requirements. During

the evaluation process, I would always recommend asking what the

guaranteed response time is to support inquiries.

Tara Grant

Jet Reports

When your organization is evaluating whether a business

intelligence (BI) solution will provide adequate benefit for the budget,

time, and resources required to learn and use it, it’s important to ask

the following questions to BI vendors during your selection process:

» What technologies are used to extract, transform, and load

(ETL) data from Microsoft Dynamics NAV into the reporting

environment?

» Do the tools delivered with the solution require special skills

around Microsoft SQL and Business Intelligence Development

Studio (BIDS) for customizations after initial installation?

» How steep is the learning curve for the technologies?

» What are the typical vendor support requests generated by these

tools?

Cory Barwick

Wolters Kluwer

Google searches are very targeted in this area, and I find that using

Google with the correct search terms will quickly return valuable

information. Peers, colleagues, and former employer relationships

are the next steps that I would take for looking for add-on products.

User groups are great at providing a more contextual atmosphere, but

I find that often people are not aware of a User group unless they are

a purchaser of the UG product.

Per Mogensen

Mergetool.com

Is it available on the latest Microsoft Dynamics NAV version?

What are the plans for future releases compared with Microsoft’s

releases?

Jason Arebalo

DiCentral

Evaluating the right solution first starts with the business problem

you are trying to solve (i.e., trading partner mandate, eliminating

chargebacks, eliminating manual data processing, etc.). Here are

some key points to consider:

» Does this ISV own its own IP?

» How does the solution automate/validate data?

» How quickly will I achieve return on investment?

» Can the provider and the solution meet long-term strategic plans?

» Is the provider large enough to accommodate ongoing support

needs?

When evaluating solutions, these are certainly things we take into

consideration.

Nils Rasmussen

Solver

» Meet with your key managers and agree to which business

problems you are looking to solve with the Microsoft Dynamics

NAV add-on.

» Conduct a search on Google with the best possible search

phrase based on which functionality (e.g. “budgeting software

for NAV”) you are looking for.

» Once you find three to five vendors (if that many exist), contact

them with the business issues you are looking to resolve and ask

how they solve it (while confirming Microsoft Dynamics NAV

integration).

» Invite vendors to demo and further evaluation.

Ryan Pollyniak

Equisys (Zetadocs)

The key question is: “build or buy?”. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is

customizable, making almost any functionality possible given time

and money. Building a custom solution can add complexity to a

We reached out to NAVUG™ Partner Members to pick their brains on steps Users should take when researching add-on products to take the guesswork out of the process.

Q2/Q3 2014 | 19

future Microsoft Dynamics NAV upgrade.

Buying add-ons makes upgrading easier in

the future as long as the software vendor

updates their solutions to work with new

versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

Ask vendors what their commitment is

for supporting new versions. Having an

outdated add-on could force a change

The camaraderie between VARs

and ISVs makes finding an add-on for

Microsoft Dynamics NAV easy. Seek

advice from your Partners; explain what

type of added features you’re looking

for, and they will be able to point you

in the right direction. Once an ISV has

been found, explore several options. See

a demo and review product literature.

Also consider support and enhancement

costs along with installation and training

services as these expenses are sometimes

overlooked. Be sure to have all the answers

to your questions before a purchase

decision is made, and, if possible, try it

before you buy it.

When researching products, ask ven-

dors how their software supports best

practices in the areas of domain expertise

important to you and your company. Ask

how the add-on software can create im-

mediate as well as sustained bottom-line

benefits to your company. NAVUG

Congratulations to our Spring 2014 contest winner, Jonathan Delfraisse from MANCON! Jonathan found the logo on page 20 of

the Spring 2014 issue of NAVUG™ Magazine. Let’s play again. Hidden

somewhere between the covers of this magazine is our NAVUG logo.

Can you find it?

While our logo shows up

throughout the magazine in

conventional spots, it’s hidden in

only one place.

When you’ve found it, send an email to [email protected] with an explanation of where and on what page it’s at. We’ll

choose a winner at random and will highlight him/her in the next issue of the magazine.

Values Thrive as

Something contrary to every headline is happening on Florida’s Gulf Coast: In the town of

Bonita Springs, which sits between Naples and Fort Myers, things are being made. At its

headquarters, Shaw Development LLC not only engineers turnkey fuel, hydraulic, and diesel

emissions fl uid (DEF) solutions, but it also manufactures them there as well.

“We’re a small company that is growing,” says Laura Rhoad, the company’s director of human

resources. “We’ve had double-digit growth for the last fi ve years. At the moment, we’re adding to our

building, and we’re expecting to more than double in size in less than two years.”

Th at sort of growth hasn’t escaped notice. Shaw was named the 2012 Manufacturer of the Year by the

Manufacturers Association of Florida as well as Manufacturer of the Year in Lee County.

One of the factors fueling the growth is that the solutions Shaw Development manufactures take

emissions out of diesel exhaust, something that is mandated for heavy duty off -road vehicles this year.

But equally important to the company’s success, says Laura, is its spirit. Th at spirit was infused into the

company fi rst by the founder, Frank Shaw, and then by his son, Jim. “Jim Shaw is a very humble man, and

I think the tone he set has lived on,” Laura says.

A day in the life of Amanda Hansen isn’t what most people would call ordinary. Amanda

takes life “head-on” as a global finance controller at Ellsworth, a NAVUG™ Member since

2011 and one of the largest distributors of specialty chemicals in the world, as well as on

the roller derby track as “D’Amanda Beating”.

In 2011, Amanda went to her first roller derby bout (or game) and thought it was one

of the coolest things she had ever seen. “It’s the only athletic sport I had seen where there are women of

all shapes, sizes, ages, and occupations,” says Amanda. This inspired her, and after a year of getting up her

courage, she participated in a boot camp and joined the recreational league in Milwaukee, Wisconsin soon

after. After skating regularly for a few months, she was drafted to her current team, Crazy 8s, in October

2013. With a specialty in hitting, D’Amanda Beating is promising to be one of the team’s best blockers.

Her team recently finished out the first ever undefeated season in her league and achieved a four-peat

championship to boot! She also enjoys skating on an interleague team, the Brewcity Bruisers’ Battlestars,

the B team that takes on other leagues’ B teams and aims to one day make the all-star charter.

When Amanda tells people about her derby career, she gets mixed reactions. “Some people just find it

weird, yet some people think it’s pretty cool. I’m thankful because it’s given me a lot more than I could have

hoped for,” she says. In addition to being a great workout, Amanda has learned not to be afraid of what she

can do. “This was a big leap for me. I didn’t usually go out on my own, but now I know I can do what I want.

That confidence is priceless.”

It’s also enhanced her teamwork skills, helping her realize her strengths and weaknesses on the track as

well as in the office. Amanda says, “Communication is key. As a blocker, I have to keep the other jammer

behind me and couldn’t do this without communicating with my team. And as a global finance controller

and the Microsoft Dynamics NAV product owner at the office, my experience as a derby girl has really

opened me up to being a team player.” It makes sense why Amanda’s favorite part of NAVUG is NAVUG

Collaborate. With a like-minded ERP community online, she can get responses to her questions within a

day as well as network with invaluable connections outside of her own company.

Amanda got to combine her two favorite pastimes while in Atlanta for Convergence this past spring:

travel and roller derby. She had the opportunity to skate with the Atlanta derby girls, and the fact that she

can bring that skill with her on the road makes her enjoy the sport even more.

Amanda didn’t travel much growing up, but she remembers her mom being interested in other cultures

and always talking about where she hoped to go. This instilled a curiosity in Amanda that is still strong

to this day. She minored in international business in college and always knew she wanted to work with

a company that does business across the globe. Ellsworth is just that company with distribution and/or

manufacturing operations in Mexico, Canada, Europe, the United Kingdom, Central Europe, Scandinavia,

Mainland China, Hong Kong, Eastern Europe, Malaysia, Australia, Thailand, Latin America, and India.

“Seeing how business is done differently in other places is amazing to me. For years, we actually had to

purchase invoices from the Chinese government before we could bill customers there,” she says. Amanda

has travelled to Hong Kong, China, France, Scotland, and Sweden, and she is scheduled to visit England this

summer. “The most important thing I’ve learned from travelling for business is to really learn the culture

you’re visiting. If I immerse myself in their ways, I find I take away a much better experience all-around.”

Amanda’s own experience of stepping outside her comfort zone in both roller derby and travel is an

inspiration for experiencing the different (and sometimes weirder) things in life. NAVUG

Installing Add-on Products

t t&TIPS & TRICKS

Andrew Good

Liberty Grove Software, Inc.

When planning to use an add-on, you need to consider a few

things first: can you meet your requirements with an add-on instead

of a customization? Is the add-on Certified for Microsoft Dynamics

(CfMD) for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 or 2013? The CfMD

designation is an indication that the Partner is committed to the

product, its quality, and its future.

If the add-on is in a protected object range, get the rights to use and

edit the granule(s) in the event that the Partner stops supporting the

add-on and get this commitment in writing.

Mike Persichini

Advanced Business Systems, LLC

Add-ons for Microsoft Dynamics NAV should be carefully evaluated

prior to procurement for a variety of reasons. Considerations that

should be involved in all add-on evaluations should not be limited to

initial licensing cost. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a development-

centric application, and it is often the case that add-on solutions are

chosen for fractional functionality usage (e.g. one particular piece of

included functionality). Customization aversion (buying versus building)

leads to unnecessary add-on purchases that can sometimes cause much

higher TCO (total cost of ownership) when annual enhancement,

upgrade complexity, and add-on customization (very common) costs

are analyzed. It is important to select the correct add-on solution for the

correct reasons. Initial licensing cost is only one facet.

AJ Ansari

InterDyn BMI

Ask if the add-on is CfMD for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Does the

add-on have sufficient documentation? Know beforehand if the add-

on needs to be upgraded in lockstep with Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

Know if the add-on touches mission-critical code such as posting

routines, which could severely impact your ability to post shipments,

receipts, and invoices if the add-on experience is a failure.

Brent Fisher

Tribridge

Before purchasing, verify that the add-on product is up to date on

the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV and compatible with

the version you are on.

Tom Doran

ABC Computers

First and foremost, just because an add-on is offered does not mean

it’s right for you or that it’s a good solution. We have a process for

evaluating our ISV Partners to ensure three main items: reliability of

the firm, references in the market, and CfMD from Microsoft. From

there, it is important to know that as a Partner, we cannot be experts

at everything, even if the ISV might pass the first three screens.

Thus, you should consider how the ISV works with both end Users

and Partners to fill the gap when the Partner has no or very limited

experience with their product. At the end of the day, what Users

want is a solution to their problem for something close to the quoted

project timeline and budget. If we are careful in our analysis of the

client problem, thoughtful about the risks presented when working

with third parties, and open in our discussions with both the User

and ISV, we find that add-on products can and do add a lot of value to

the Microsoft Dynamics NAV ecosystem.

Greg Williams

Western Computer

As new versions of the ISV add-on are released, review the list

of features and determine if they are new functionality or simply

resolution of known issues. Next, evaluate how you would use this

new functionality or if it would solve current issues. NAVUG

We reached out to NAVUG™ Members to gain their perspectives on tips and tricks regarding the installation of

add-on products with the hope that they’ll be able to save you time, money, and/or stress.

...with NAVUG Members

We asked NAVUG™ Members to share what Microsoft Dynamics NAV add-ons they use to round out their system.

Angie Gibson SOL REPUBLIC

When we, SOL REPUBLIC, implemented Microsoft Dynamics

NAV in January 2012, we were very concerned about add-ons or

customizations. We wanted to know what Microsoft Dynamics

NAV could do natively first. We are a start-up and Microsoft

Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 is our first system, so we tried to force

our teams to fit the processes within Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

Since then we have implemented four add-ons and are looking

for a solution for Magento (eCommerce) integration. The first

add-on we implemented is still my favorite. It is Vertical Leap

(VL), which is a tool we use to import Excel files into journals.

Before implementing VL, it was difficult for me to do my month-

end accruals for revenue reserves across product and customer

dimensions. Now I just run Jet Reports (another add-on we

implemented), perform some estimations and calculations, and

import the journal into the general journal entry. Among other

things, we use it to import PayPal and customer credit card

payments into the payment journal, inventory consumption

entries from the warehouse into the item journal, and credit card

charges into the purchases journal. After adding VL in January

2013, we added Zetadocs for document distribution and capture,

but we are currently only using the capture for vendor invoices.

In June 2013 we added Jet Reports Essentials, which is our

finance team’s favorite add-on. We are currently in the process of

implementing Lanham EDI.

Victor Diercksen TalkingRain Beverage Company

Lanham Associates’: E-Ship/E-Receive – With multiple remote

inventory warehouses, the simplified receiving and shipping

function of E-Ship and E-Receive has drastically reduced the

complexity and cost of training and support of warehouse

employees at TalkingRain.

Lanham Associates’ Advanced Forecasting and Procurement

– Manually forecasting and managing the production schedule

and raw material requirements of 90 finished goods items across

11 stocking locations across the U.S. would be nearly impossible.

AFP has drastically reduced headcount while increasing inventory

availability and sales.

ADNM: The Asset Guardian – Tracking and monitoring the

maintenance requirements as well as ensuring the availability of

spare parts for even a small manufacturing site can be difficult.

The Asset Guardian provides the asset work order and preventative

maintenance functionality found in standalone systems that are five

times more expensive, yet functions within Microsoft Dynamics

NAV. This eliminates the need for any external integration and

simplifies training.

Torrential Data: Datahaven Imaging – The scanning, OCR, and

image retention functionality of Datahaven is comparable to systems

costing significantly more, yet it allows you to see and even post

documents in Microsoft Dynamics NAV based upon data pulled

from an electronic document. The A/P group has eliminated all

paper documents and maintained a consistent headcount despite a

threefold increase in business activity at TalkingRain. This system

paid for itself in 18 months.

Sana Commerce: Sana Website – The Sana website was built

from scratch to integrate with Microsoft Dynamics NAV and

can be implemented with minimal effort in one to two months.

Previous to Sana, web orders were printed and manually entered

into Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Now orders load real-time into

Microsoft Dynamics NAV, and customers can see all of their prior

order history as well as creating new orders from a template or

from a historical order. The added value and reduced labor allowed

this project to have a calculated 14-month ROI.

Jason Chance Seventh Generation

Lanham Associates’ EDI – This solution helps us manage our

EDI communications with vendors, customers, warehouse, and

our e-commerce website. We maintain all of this internally, which

saves us tons of money.

Lanham Associates’ Advanced Forecasting and Procurement –

We use this to do all of our purchasing and planning. It has helped

us reduce inventory and manage procurement with much more

precision, and it allows us to focus on the items in our inventory

that are most important and need attention.

Kim Congleton Group O

Group O uses IDYN’s Object Manager (www.idyn.nl/products/

objectmanageradvanced.aspx) to assist in managing our

development and deployment of Microsoft Dynamics NAV code.

The tool allows us to check in and out objects to projects, provide

standardized documentation, and to deploy packages of objects to

our test or production systems. It also allows us to do comparisons

of objects across databases. One of my favorite features of the tool

is the “where used” functionality. The tool allows you to easily see

where a field is used across all objects. It saves a ton of time when

you are coding to be able to easily find all the objects that contain

a field.

Marc Allman AMS Controls

The only add-on we use every day is Lanham Associates’

E-Ship. We’d be lost without the ability to interface our Microsoft

Dynamics NAV installation with UPS. While the add-on isn’t

without its issues, its functionally is a beast that works day in and

day out.

Aydan Golaszewski Medifast

Smoothie – This is a relatively cheap forecasting add-on that is

used in the supply chain area to work in conjunction with Microsoft

Dynamics NAV forecasting. Smoothie helps look into past data to

provide suggested forecasting numbers that can be plugged into

a Microsoft Dynamics NAV forecasting table to be considered by

the MRP run.

Sean E. Falese Pacific Union Company

We are utilizing the ChargeLogic Connect product to pull sales

orders and secure credit card information from our e-commerce

application directly into Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This helps

protect our customers and our company by keeping sensitive

cardholder data encrypted and secure. This benefit alone has

removed a large liability from our operation. Coupled with the

ability to generate sales orders directly into Microsoft Dynamics

NAV without an additional tool, we have increased our productivity

during our sales offerings while at the same time removing

complexity from our data flow.  Additionally, the support and

assistance from the ChargeLogic team have been great.  They are

quick to respond to requests from our Partner and have assisted us

in fully leveraging the Connect API.  Those three things – support,

simplicity, and security – make the ChargeLogic Connect product

extremely valuable to our organization. 

Our ISV solution from WineDirect is a suite of customizations

specific for the wine industry.  Most useful to us is the inclusion

and extension of the unit of measure to support familiar

units of measure (UOMs) such as bottle, case, and liter.  These

customizations to ledger tables, items, and other core Microsoft

Dynamics NAV components allow us to see our sales and inventory

in meaningful reports without much custom report writing.

Finally we heavily utilize Jet Reports in both the essentials and

enterprise variations.  Ninety-five percent of our reporting is

done through Jet and Excel.  Jet provides us easy to manipulate,

reproduce, and familiar interfaces for creating all our operational

reporting.  On the enterprise side, we are getting value from

customizing and configuring our OLAP cubes to generate insight

into financial performance, sales history, and trending, and finally

to generate easy-to-use and extend inventory reporting.  NAVUG

SMART Role Tree is an advanced tool for managing with security

roles in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This tool allows you to create roles

and copy permissions between roles and companies for Classic

Client. Because default security tools in Microsoft Dynamics NAV

often require a lot of work for simple configuration, we need a

specific tool. This tool makes those actions simple for inexperienced

consultants and clients alike.

I’ve experienced many benefits in the implementation and support of

Microsoft Dynamics NAV with this tool, including a significant reduction

in the time needed for security role set up and maintenance.

It’s very common for Customers to come to us to import data for

them. This typically requires us to do custom development for them,

but there are tools out there that can help them do it themselves. In

fact, there are a number of them. It should always be done in a test

database first, but with a little help and guidance to understand where

to import the data, Customers can do this task all on their own.

This toolset is a fully automated regression test system that enables

you to run thousands of test scenarios in your system at the click of

a button. It comes out of the box with about 8,000 tests and it does

require additional development to add custom tests, but the peace

of mind you get with it is invaluable. Keep in mind that it is not a

replacement for actual, real-world testing; it’s just a starting point to

make sure nothing obvious is overlooked as well as an indicator to find

out if a new change is going to affect an older customization.

A variety of add-on tools, including a print to PDF tool that

allows you to print directly to PDF from any Windows application.

This tool helps us create XMLports for Web Services, and I

would say that this tool saved us countless hours figuring out the

format for XML documents.

Q2/Q3 2014 | 29

Page 30: 2014 Q2/Q3 - NAVUG Magazine

NAVUG: What kinds of questions do you receive most from Users right now?Robert Miller (RM): Most of the questions I get

lately are around performance and hardware

requirements. The hardware requirements is a

tough question to answer because most Partners

and Customers want more specifics than I can

give, mainly because each Customer’s needs are

very specific to the way their business is run.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind

with hardware. RAM is your friend, and you

should avoid disk contention as much as possible.

The performance questions are generally easier

to deal with at first as most issues boil down to

missing or disabled SumIndexFields or missing

Microsoft Dynamics NAV keys. If these two items

don’t resolve the problem, then it becomes a much

more difficult question to answer.

NAVUG: Are there any “self-help” forums that you recommend to Users? RM: I point everyone to the Microsoft Dynamics

NAV team blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/

nav) as this is where many individuals from our

development, marketing, and support groups post

blogs about new features – both in the application

as well as platform – and support topics that have

arisen in hopes of avoiding them in the future.

NAVUG: This magazine issue’s theme is add-ons. What is your recommendation to Users

when they look to install an add-on to work with Microsoft Dynamics NAV? RM: The first step I would suggest is to make

sure that the add-on is Certified for Microsoft

Dynamics (CfMD). You can start your search at

www.microsoft.com/dynamics/en/za/partners-

certified.aspx as this site offers a list of all the

available add-ons and breaks down add-ons per

country, industry, and horizontals.

I would also suggest that if you are looking at

installing multiple add-ons, you check with your

Partner to see if their organization has experience

with them. This will minimize the installation

process as add-ons may require modifications to

common objects.

NAVUG: How about when they’re upgrading Microsoft Dynamics NAV and already have the add-ons installed?RM: When a User has made the decision to

upgrade, this is the best opportunity to review

what is currently being used in their solution and

compare it to what the latest version of Microsoft

Dynamics NAV has to offer. This will give the User

a unique opportunity to “clear out” modifications

and add-ons that are no longer being used or can

be replaced with base application functionality in

order to streamline their solution.

NAVUG: You have the opportunity to speak with many Users in your role. What do you like most about these interactions?

RM: I always enjoy getting a chance to meet our end Users, and I

find it very interesting to see how they are using Microsoft Dynamics

NAV on a daily basis.

Oftentimes they end up teaching me something because they use

a feature or process in a particular way that I never thought to try.

NAVUG: How are these interactions helpful in your role at Microsoft?RM: The time I spend with our end Users always helps me stay

focused on how we can make our products better and easier to use.

We do a lot of testing for new features and User interface changes,

but none of the feedback is quite as focused as from a User that has

been using the system for years.

The features or steps that they hold near and dear to their hearts

always amazes me.

NAVUG: Is there anything else you’d like to share?RM: I would just like to say thank you to all the Microsoft Dynamics

NAV Users. We have great Users, and it shows in their enthusiasm

every time I get to meet them in person. NAVUG

You’ve most likely heard about the Certified for Microsoft Dynamics (CfMD) program

from your Partner, seen it in event materials or add-on directories, or learned about

it when visiting with an ISV. You might be wondering what it really means and if it’s

a necessary thing as you look for add-on products for your Microsoft Dynamics

NAV implementation. That’s exactly why NAVUG™ reached out to Eva Dupont of

the Microsoft Dynamics NAV team: To gain certifiable information about the CfMD

program and your Microsoft Dynamics NAV implementation. Here’s her insight on a

number of CfMD-related topics:

Versus

CfMD

Not CfMD

From our perspective, a company should always

choose the solution that works better for their

needs. There are great Microsoft Dynamics NAV

solutions that are CfMD, and that means that the

solution is proven compatible with the relevant

version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Customers

know they will get software that works.

So in a certified versus non-certified scenario,

we would recommend the certified solution if it

supports the scenarios that the Customer wants.

But if the non-certified solution might work better

for this particular Customer, of course we would

support choosing that solution. We want Customers

to use what will suit their needs best.

Forever

CfMD

?

Historically, if a solution was CfMD on Microsoft

Dynamics NAV 2009, then it would be CfMD on

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 and Microsoft

Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 and would have to reapply

for CfMD for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013.

With the new, more rapid release cycle for

Microsoft Dynamics NAV, this might have to

change. We’re still working that out.

+

CfMD

RSP

Our team introduced the Registered Solution

Program (RSP) as a companion to CfMD. RSP

includes an additional set of requirements from

the Microsoft Dynamics NAV core team and third-

party validation of the add-on product. It helps to

ensure that the add-on is compatible with specific

versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

From our perspective,

a company should

always choose the

solution that works

better for their needs.

or

CfMD

Bust?

We find CfMD beneficial to ourselves

and to the quality of the add-on solutions,

and we want to encourage Partners to

upgrade to the newest version of Microsoft

Dynamics NAV, get the CfMD badge, and

then follow us across versions, because

then User upgrades become easier, more

tools are available, and ISVs can offer

better service to their Customers.  

While we want to encourage ISV

solutions to be CfMD, for some smaller

add-ons, CfMD can be less relevant. Do

we aim for getting all Microsoft Dynamics

NAV solutions, large and small, onto the

CfMD track? No, we do not.

and

CfMD

You

We love feedback in general, and we

want more of it. We also want to make

Partners successful by providing successful

solutions to Customers, and we believe

that the CfMD program can help that.

If you have questions or comments

about the CfMD program, please reach

out to [email protected]. NAVUG

VOLUNTEERWho interests you on social media right now?

Cynthia Whitecotton on LinkedIn

On my desk right now:

A couple of BOMs, some Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2005

purchase advice reports, SharePoint 2010 Plain & Simple,

a slew of RMA requests to log and ship, equipment field

returns to process, and a Men of Integrity Devotional

Bible…plus assorted knickknacks to keep things

interesting.

My 3 goals for the rest of 2014:

1) Develop a robust and efficient field return and RMA

work-flow.

2) Be a key contributor to the EMF Microsoft Dynamics

NAV 2013 R2 implementation.

3) Learn SharePoint Office 2013 and publish the policy,

process, and procedure documentation required to

enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of my work

group.

What I do when I’m not at work:

Long road-bike rides, play guitar, sing, home maintenance

projects, be with my wife and Little Joe (our toy poodle),

read my Bible and various books (I tend to read three

or four at a time – except during football season; then

I scale back to one or two), check Christian broadcast

media – including Microsoft Dynamics NAV User Joyce

Meyer Ministries – and participate with my local church in

making a difference in my community.

The best advice I ever received:

Accept the invitation Jesus offers to be born again and

experience a life blessed beyond my imagination! (John 3:3,

John 10:10, Ephesians 3:16-20)

my mobile phone. 3 clicks and less than a minute, and they were off with a plan.”
