Last year I wrote about inventory planning in Microsoft Dynamics NAV (most of them is for NAV2013 or/and NAV2013R2) on my old blog. I think, I can make small reminder on these articles, because this is always current topic.

This is small ‘Table Of Content’ with links to the articles on my blog on the Microsoft Dynamics Community.

Inventory Planning – part 1 (Microsoft Dynamics NAV): The basic Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 planning concept as flowchart;
Inventory Planning – part 2 (Microsoft Dynamics NAV): The basic Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 planning concept as flowchart;
Inventory Planning – part 3 (Microsoft Dynamics NAV): Flowcharts for calculating of date for methods of stock demands and availability (Purchase Order Time Calculation, Production Order Time Calculation, Sales Order Time Calculation, Transfer Order Time Calculation);
Inventory Planning – part 4 (Microsoft Dynamics NAV): Flowchart of demand and supply situation of the item and calculation of the projected available balance;
Inventory Planning – part 5 (Microsoft Dynamics NAV): Net Actual Demand against the Forecast in Manufacturing Planning (flowcharts, descriptions and examples);
Inventory Planning – part 6 (Microsoft Dynamics NAV): The base planning setup (Inventory Setup, Manufacturing Setup) – initially global planning setup in NAV;
Inventory Planning – part 7 (Microsoft Dynamics NAV): The specific Item Card Planning Setup;
Inventory Planning – part 8 (Purchase Planning in Microsoft Dynamics NAV): Operational work in planning process for purchase.
Inventory Planning – part 9 (Manufacturing Planning in Microsoft Dynamics NAV): Operational work in planning process for manufacturing.
Inventory Planning – part 10 (Microsoft Dynamics NAV): Reordering Policy examples:

OK, I need to finish with remaining subtopics, and because of that I made this reminder here.

Waiting for NAV 2015

In last few months, I found a lot of information about new version of NAV – Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015. But, all of these information are the pieces of the mosaic.

In last period, I use a lot of my time for testing this new NAV version, and I can said we will get a lot of new things, especially on technically field. But, I still cannot write about all of these, because of NDA.

I will try to present a few small thing, but only these who already is known and presented on some conferences by Microsoft.

Expressive Tiles

Microsoft introduce us with new features on tiles. Now, we can use it, not only for documents. Now, we can use them for decimal, percent and so on. We can also put it different color, depends of result in tiles. We have here some additional benefits, but about this some other time.

Word Report Layout

Now in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, except RDLC layout, we can use Word layout also. This will be especially intended for sales documents. Now, it is pretty easier customizing these report layouts even by customers.

Tablet Client

Tablet client is one of the most expected features in new NAV. This is because, it can be used on Windows tablet devices, but also on iPad or Android. Generally, you will have the most of functionalities on this client, but adapted to tablets way of using.

More…

Yes, it has still more features. And you will see, this is a lot of news. But, you need to wait about a month. The most of them will be presented on Directions in San Diego and Directions EMEA in Poznan. See you there.

‘How Do I’ video series is excellent idea from Microsoft to make excellent video training about a lot of different topics in NAV. All of these videos Microsoft prepare in cooperation with Plataan and many NAV MVPs and MCTs. You can find all of them on MSDN page. When I got opportunity to be a part of this project, I accepted this with pleasure.

Currently, I have three published videos. You can find them here:

How Do I: Create Simplified Pages With Hidden Tabs in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2
