Microsoft Dynamics is an ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning software that is created by one of the top companies in the world, Microsoft. Many small and medium companies are using Microsoft Dynamics NAV these days. Microsoft Dynamics NAV upgrade is now available.  Businesses that are using this software can now update it. This ERP software does help companies to remove the inefficiencies in their processes. Almost all the departments in the organization can benefit when they start to use the ERP software.  Once you update the software, you might struggle a few days as you try to understand the way the system works. Here is one of the issues that you might face and how you can handle it Introduction: Microsoft Dynamics NAV can be embedded in SharePoint online which will be available as an app in SharePoint. Thus, NAV data will be displayed on the SharePoint site. The user can then modify and save the data on the SharePoint site through the NAV web client. Also, web parts such as Sales Orders List, Customers List, etc. can be added to the SharePoint site. When the user selects a particular record in SharePoint online, it opens the relevant page in the Microsoft Dynamics web client and after the changes are saved and the page has been closed, the change is reflected in SharePoint online. Pre-requisites: 1. Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 2. SharePoint online account Purpose: The main purpose of embedding NAV 2016 in SharePoint online is to make all the NAV data available in SharePoint so that a SharePoint user can check and modify NAV data in SharePoint online itself. Procedure: Step 1: To Register Dynamics NAV as an App in SharePoint Go to the appregnew.aspx page in your SharePoint given as below: https://MyTenant.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appregnew.aspx where https://MyTenant.sharepoint.com is the URL of the SharePoint site. The following fields have to be entered to register a new app: Client Id: It will be generated automatically after clicking the generate button. Client Secret: It will be generated automatically after clicking the generate button. Title: Enter a unique title for the app. App Domain: Enter the host name of Microsoft Dynamics NAV web client URL for example cronus.com Redirect URL: Enter the URL of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV web client for example https://www.cronus.com/DynamicsNAV100 Click on the Create button to register the app. Step 2: Create an app catalog Go to the following link: https:// MyTenant.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/SiteCollections.aspx Go to apps and then navigate to app catalog Create a new app catalog site if there is no existing app catalog for the tenant Enter a title for the app catalog and the web site address name. Also enter the administrator name. Click OK and now the app catalog will be created and will be added to the Site Collections list. Step 3: To create app in SharePoint online. Go to Visual Studio and Create a new project – App for SharePoint Enter a unique name for the project. The app should be Provider-hosted After the project has been created, remove the webapp that is created by visual studio automatically. Now go to AppManifest.xml. Replace the highlighted part of Start page link in Visual Studio (shown in the below screenshot) with the web client URL for example: https://www.cronus.com/DynamicsNAV100/WebClient/ Right click on the project and Publish the app. After the app has been published, package the app. Step 4: Upload the app made in Visual Studio to SharePoint in Apps for SharePoint and add the app to Site collections Go to the app catalog created. Click on Apps for SharePoint. Now upload the app to SharePoint. It can be done directly by dragging the app from the folder in which it is created after publishing and packaging to the Apps for SharePoint section. The app will then be copied under apps for SharePoint. Go to Site Collections and navigate to Site Contents. Click on ‘Add an app’ Click on ‘Trust it’ and then the app will be added to SharePoint. Step 5: To add a Microsoft Dynamics NAV web part to SharePoint online Go to Visual Studio and open the project that was created initially. Right click on the project and add a new item ‘Client Web Part (Host Web)’ Enter the Web part URL under ‘Select or enter the URL of an existing web page for the client web part content’ The following code illustrates how to modify the Elements.xml file: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <Elements xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/”> <ClientWebPart Name=”ListPart” Title=”Microsoft Dynamics NAV List Part” Description=”List from Microsoft Dynamics NAV” DefaultWidth=”800″ DefaultHeight=”300″ > <Content Type=”html” Src=”https://www.cronus.com/DynamicsNAV100/WebClient/List.aspx?page=_ThePageId_&amp;pagesize=5&amp;shownavigation=0&amp;showribbon=0&amp;showuiparts=0&amp;isembedded=1/> <Properties> <Property Name=”ThePageId” Type=”int” DefaultValue=”9305″ WebCategory=”Microsoft Dynamics NAV” WebDisplayName=”Page number” RequiresDesignerPermission=”true”     />                        </Properties>                    </ClientWebPart>                    </Elements> The above ‘ThePageId’ property has been defined so that the web part page to be displayed can be modified after clicking ‘Edit’ on the SharePoint page. Change the version number in AppManifest.xml. Again publish and package the app. Now Remove the previous app uploaded in Apps for SharePoint. Drag the app again and replace it in Apps for SharePoint.g. Now Go to Site Collections and navigate to Site Contents. Click on ‘Add an app’. Go to the Site Collection where the app has been added. Click on ‘Edit’. Select Insert an ‘app part’. Select the created web part and add it. Thus, the web part will now be added to the SharePoint page. The above screenshot shows that Sales Orders List web part has been embedded in SharePoint online.On clicking a particular record, it opens the relevant page in the NAV web client. Modifications can be made above. Upon saving and closing this record, the SharePoint page is refreshed and the change is reflected in SharePoint online. Important Note:  The web part will not be embedded and displayed if the following property is present in web.config file which is present in the WebClient folder: <add name=”X-FRAME-OPTIONS” value=”SAMEORIGIN” /> Remove/Comment the above line of code in web.config file to embed NAV web parts in SharePoint online because SAMEORIGIN allows framing of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client in another … Continue reading Embedding Microsoft Dynamics NAV and its web parts in SharePoint online →

Since Microsoft Dynamics NAV upgrade is available now, it is crucial for you as a company to go for it and get the update. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an ERP software. ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. Companies can increase the efficiency of their staff as well as their productivity when they use this particular ERP software.  Especially, small and medium companies can get a good return on the investment if they invest in this particular software. Here are some of the departments in your organization that is going to benefit well when you use ERP software: Dynamic 365 Finance Manufacturing Units Customer Relationship Management Dynamic 365 Supply Chains Electronic Commerce Analytics and so forth Introduction: This article explains how to change the editable fields into un-editable fields based on certain condition. In this article, we make the page fields un-editable on change of status from Open to Released. For example, the fields like No., Description etc. will be freeze when the NAV page status changes to Released. Pre-requisites: Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017. Steps We create a Boolean field in the Global variable (Ctrl + G) in the NAV page and sets the property by clicking on (Shift + F4) of the boolean variable ‘IncludeInDataset’ to yes. This property is set to yes when the variable is used as the value of the Editable property, enabled property, visible property or StyleExpr property. Now we select the fields of the NAV which needs to be changed to un-editable and set the enabled properties of the field to the Boolean field name. Now in the C/AL code (F9), in the ‘OnAfterGetCurrRecord’ we place a condition that if the status is Released then the Boolean field ‘fieldeditable’ is set to false this will freeze the fields and only if the status is open the ‘fieldeditable’ will be set to true. By default the value of the boolean variable is true. Below is the screenshot of the NAV page with status open. Below in the screenshot , the approval status is ‘released’.

Use case:  Let’s say there are multiple service providers (SP) who are on CRM platform and send out the data to single repository Target which is also a CRM system. Based on certain validations and Business logic, the data that is sent from SP can be accepted or rejected. In this case the repository CRM system needs to communicate back to service provider about the status of their data submission. We are using Scribe Insight as the middleware or Integration tool. So how does the Scribe determines, the message that is sent from repository CRM is intended for which service providers CRM? This is done using Scribe Publisher. What is Scribe Publisher? Scribe Publisher is a component in Scribe console that produced XML messages based on real time triggering events. Example: If an account is created or updated in CRM then it will trigger publisher to generate XML message. This XML message is then forwarded to Scribe In Queue. This message is then processed by Integration process. Integration Approach: To integrate between a single CRM source to Multiple CRM instance as Target. Data needs to be pushed correctly to Target CRM instance based on a value of the data field in the source CRM. Create a CRM Publisher with same entities published multiple times. Each time it will be process based on the source field value and will output the message to Scribe In Queue with a different message label. Create Multiple DTS each with different Target CRM, where the data is intended to be pushed. Create Integration Process (IP) with this DTS and each IP will process the message based on the specific message label. In the above screen capture, publisher will generate XML message whenever a new account is created or existing account is updated. However based on the value of the field that holds the data for the Target Service Provider (In above example – “description” field in repository CRM holds target CRM of which this account belongs to), publisher will publish a message with different message label. (FromSP1_account.xml, FromSP2_account.xml etc) These messages come to Scribe in Queue. Integration Process can be then created that will consume these messages based on their message label. Above Integration was tested on Scribe Insight version 7.9.2.

In this blog article, I will explain about the new updates of Power BI related to New Quick Calcs, Word wrap on matrix row headers and X-axis & Y-axis font size control. New Quick Calcs: Percent of row total & percent of column total In this Power BI update, they are introducing two new Quick Calcs. These are as follows: Percent of row total Percent of column total Under the field pane -> right click on value field -> Quick Calc. Then, under Show value as, you will see Percent of column total and Percent of row total If you convert a matrix visual with one of these new Quick Calcs, the calculation will convert these totals into a percent of grand total. Example: In below figure Cost column shows the cost for sub category. After applying the Quick Calcs as Percent of column total the matrix is looks like follows: Word wrap on matrix row headers: In earlier update, the word wrap was added for table header only but now it’s added for matrix row header as well. You will see the Word wrap toggle under the Formatting pane -> Row header card -> Word wrap. Once you turn on word wrap, the row headers will word wrap to fill the space they have. X-axis and Y-axis font size control Earlier we were not able to control the font size of X-axis and Y-axis. But now we can control the X-axis and Y-axis font size. Now you can find the text size slider under the X- axis and Y- axis card in the formatting pane. After changing in font size of X- axis and Y-axis.
