MS Network 5 Retrospection

atotovic Conference, General, Microsoft Dynamics NAV , , , , , , , ,

Last week, I was mainly in Neum (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Small town Neum on Adriatic see was a host of the MS Network 5, the biggest Microsoft Conference in Bosnia. I was on this conference for the second time, and I’m honored to be a part of this conference.

I have spent a 24 hours in my car on this trip, but I’m still happy about my participation on this conference. This is not Dynamics conference, but I was impressed how many people want to learn something about NAV. I had to stay an extra half-hour after the lecture to give an answers on all questions and I’m really happy about this. People want NAV and want to upgrade to the newest version.

Except my lecture, I attended on other sessions and learned a lot of news about other technology from my friends (outside NAV). I think I have to learn other technology every time I can. We have a small problems about internet in hotel, but this was a challenge how to prepare demo on Azure without internet :). But we solved all these problems, and everything was an awesome.

Big thank to Enis and other guys from Microsoft in Bosnia. I will gladly be a part of this conference the next year. We had adventures on trip (guys in my car know what I say) and big friendship on conference. In one word, awesome. See you.

Posting Groups #3 – Item Charges Purchase Posting

atotovic Microsoft Dynamics NAV , , , , , , ,

When we post purchase of items, we have item charges very often. We can post item charges on the same order with items or on different one. In my example, I will use independent document for already receipted items.

In this case, we have the similar rules about using posting groups as we post item purchase. Some posting groups are used from document header, and other from document line, as I already described in older post. But, in this case some of posting groups are inherited from the already posted receipt. You can see all combination on following chart:

When we post this document, we will get G/L Entries as result. You can find completely description of them in next table:

Posting Groups #2 – Item Sale Posting

Similar as purchasing, when we want to post item sale, we can do it in one step (posting shipment and invoice in the same time) or in two steps (posting shipment in the first step, and then posting invoice). You can also use some additional ways with Warehouse Management, but the G/L entries will be the same.
In my example, I have used second way with line and invoice discounts, for better example.
But, in any case as in purchase model, we have some rules about posting groups. Some posting groups are used from document header, and other from document line. In following chart, you can see how system uses posting groups on documents.

When we finish posting of shipment, we will get only two entries in G/L Ledger. These are only entries about inventory:

When we post invoice related with posted shipment, we will get more entries in G/L Entries. You can find completely description of them in next table:

Using of Posting Groups – Table of Content

Posting groups in Microsoft Dynamics NAV are very important part of configuration process. All G/L Entries depends of correctly configured posting groups. We can find a lot of them: General Business and Product Posting Groups, VAT Business and Product Posting Groups, Customer and Vendor Posting Groups, Inventory Posting Groups…

Sometime, it is very confusing how it works, especially for unexperienced people. Because of that, I will prepare small school of using of posting groups. In following posts, I will prepare a lot of examples to be clear what we get.
