Developments for Dynamics Nav / Navision
Our development services cover all minor and major developments. All we need is confirmed requirements and we can advise as to the type of change i.e. whether it is a minor or major development.
Reports
Dynamics Nav is only provided with base line standard reports. This include Trial balance reports in the GL module (including comparison to last year, budget
and previous month), aged debt and aged creditor.
From Dynamics Nav version 5 onwards, export to excel is provided as functionality in the budgetting module. But it is not added to many of the standard reports.
These are just examples of what you may find is not available from the standard off the shelf Nav product. There are a lot of reports provided but these may not meet you needs.
So how can FPC help?
In 2 ways:
Super user training
We provide a 2 day super user course (for up to 3 super users) to train your staff to write reports in Nav. This course includes the provision of training material (on memory sticks, step by step
process instructions supported by screen dumps) and is interactive. User access to a test database will be required. On your site only. See the Prices Grid for the course costs.
Report development
We can develop the reports against a user spec. You provide the specification of what is required (this will depend on the report type), we confirm a quote and then complete the development
against the specification and quote.
For document type reports, the user specification will include the document layout. For tabular type reports, the user specification will include column headings required and any totalling
required.The user spec for both types of reports will include a note of any filtering required.
Our quotes are fixed price. You will NOT be charged any more than quoted. Equally any change to the original specification will be escalated to you.
All report developments completed will be supported by step by step instructions (including screen dumps) on how to use the new report.
Our only requirements to completed this type of development are:
- Completion of our change request forms. We will complete this based in information supplied by you.
- A copy of the live database (this will be used for completing the report development).
- Access to your live or test database (this will enable us to complete a back up of live and load in the completed report to test and live).
Typically a report will be a 1 day development. See the Prices Grid for the current prices.
Reports completed by FPC for clients have included:
- Daily sales snapshots
- Simple stock report
- Historic GRNI from general ledger data (not time dependent so you can run this for any period and any time)
- Receipts aged by debt settled.
- Export to excel option added to some standard reports.
This are just examples again! We have developed well over 300 reports in the last year. Email us for a full list!
Minor v. major
Minor
Examples of minor developments:
- A new field on a standard Nav table.
- Most requirements can be fulfilled from the available fields off standard Nav tables just by either making them visible on forms / pages or adding them to forms / pages.
- If not adding new fields is easy and quick.
- A small job but our rates / quotes reflect this. See Prices Grid for prices.
- All we need is remote access to your database and we can complete this work quickly!
- Minor changes to existing Nav reports. Examples include
- More filters.
- Extra column headings.
- Title changes
Major
Examples of major developments:
- New report.
- New table.
Though classified as a major development, 1 new report will usually be developed in 1 day.
Other developments
Developments are only required where either the Dynamics Nav configuration does not meet user needs or Nav is one of a number of systems to be used in the
client’s end to end process. So for example there may be a need to feed data from legacy business operating systems to Nav.
Again the process for completing the development will include a confirmation of a user requirements specification but it will also include confirmation of the process required as well. This will
allow us to use existing functionality in Nav as much as possible.
Developments completed for clients by FPC have included:
- Query log (for customers and vendors)
- Ledger comments (for customers and vendors)
- Royalty charges
- Licence management
- Drop shipment enhancement
- Price uploads and downloads
- Telesales enhancments

This are just examples again! For a full list of developments completed for clients, email us!
