New Report: Item 12 Months Statistics

Hi all,

my first .fob is a report. A classic one: item statistics!

It shows sales and purchases amounts and quantities, grouping for months starting from a date to insert in the option tab: good for distribution / retail customers.

This simple report got two points of strenght:

  1. High speed in calculating amounts and quantities due to the powerful NAV SIFT feature
  2. Variant Level details

In the onaftergetecord trigger of both dataitems there are the few code lines that calculate the values shown in the section via the calcfields method. In these case, we have to use item2 variable to apply filters without changing the original item dataitem variable filters.

Maybe someone could add output or consumption details or some interesting option…

The .fob object is in the box.net frame on the right side of this blog.

If you have problems in downloading it, maybe you can try here: https://www.box.net/shared/f4qzig0473

Microsoft Dynamics NAV “Open Developing”

Hi there,

let me introduce myself: i am Domenico from the South of the beautiful Italy, for what is worth.

I’m working since year 2000 on Navision and then Microsoft Dynamics NAV (MS always got a way to make things more complicated). In these years, i started as a developer, then consultant, analyst and PM for Dynamics projects.

Yes, i definitely LOVE Nav… i.m.h.o. the best customizable ERP for small-medium enterprises.

Anyway, i have to admit, Nav sometimes lacks some advanced features on the manufacturing or jobs side. The only way to get them is to buy them from an existing Partner Add-on or develop “in house” custom features trough the simple but powerful C/SIDE language.

The C/SIDE ambient got the great advantage to store all the code and the objects in the database and easily import / export them from one DB to another. Furthermore, a partner with the right license and the right skill can access and modify all the standard Microsoft objects in the DB!

I always looked at this like a sort of “Open Source” feature! Maybe someone in Microsoft will put me in a black list after using the word open sour… ehm, what?!?

So, there comes this blog and the idea to post here some of the NAV objects developed by me in these years, hoping this can help the developer community.

All the objects are for the NAV 5.01 version, Classic interface and reporting. In my intention, there will be one post every week.

Hope to receive a lot of comments and discussions there!

Keep rockin’!
