Microsoft Dynamics Navision (NAV)

User choose from application areas for financial management, manufacturing, distribution, customer relationship management and e-business. You only pay for what you use. Every time a transaction is posted – anywhere within the system – all customer, vendor, account and item totals are given in real time. You can zero in on details by filtering information (for example, by date, account, or item number) and always rely on the absolute accuracy of the information.

MS Dynamics NAV integrate all your business information – customer, product, inventory, sales, so you can make better decisions. You know which accounts need your immediate attention and which can wait. And you can target your sales and marketing campaigns based on specific criteria, such as sales, contact profiles and previous interactions.

Information is transparent, whether you use Microsoft Navision to manage the back office, the warehouse, or the shop floor. If a customer calls to change his order in the last minute, for example, you can check the production status and adjust plans immediately from the sales order.

Data entered in one place is shared across your company-speeding operations, reducing errors, and putting accurate information at the fingertips of those who need it.

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as “CON”. This is something pretty cool…and incredible… At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn’t answer why this happened!

TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE “CON ” FOLDER

Microsoft Notepad bug :

For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file

2.) Type “Bush hid the facts” (without the quotes)

3.) Save it as whatever you want.

4.) Close it, and re-open it.

Is it just a really weird bug?

Funny Calculator bugs in all version of windows :

Microsoft sell windows since 1993, and the calculator application was included in all version of windows.

For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open windows calculator ( program -> accessories -> calculator )

2.) Let’s calculate the Sqrt of 4 ( press 4, press Sqrt then press the “=” button ) and you will get 2 in result

3.) Minus 2 ( press “-” , press 2 and press “=” )

Can someone please explain about this bug?

Navision reporting tools is suck and hard to use. Unlike Crystal Report or other reporting tools, Navision report was executed line by line, therefore we programmer having nightmare generate and design reports to meet some client requirement. ( for example the Total or SUM of the amount calculated MUST appear at bottom because of the line by line execution. )

We can’t create cross tab table, resize the field one by one, can’t highlight object for resize, miss alignment when adjust the position….

Navision Reporting probably need 1 hour to be complete where only 5 minute job using other reporting tools, is it a wasting of time ?

Looking forward to seeing some great improvement in the coming Navision version …
