You are involved only in Business Central business and now you have Enterprise Resource Planning competency. But this competency is not in the cloud and if you want to get Cloud Business Application competency you can choose one of the options as a two different paths in achieving competencies:

Customer Engagements options
Unified Operations option

The first one is for CRM partners and the second one is in ERP. But when you read details, this is for Finance, Supply Chain Management, Retail and Talent (F&O) and all required exams are from F&O. If you want to continue only in Business Central and want cloud competency as Business Central is cloud product, you probably don’t know how you can fit with these requirements.

OK before I continue, I need to mention that this is my private text and it doesn’t represent Microsoft official statement, and this is not an announcement. Everything I’m writing here is based on Cecilia Flombaum presentation on the Microsoft Inspire a few days ago. If you want to see whole presentation, session is still available here (first part of presentation is mostly about Partner Contribution Indicator, but you can find BC details from cca 13:30).

She mentioned that we can expect a Business Central differentiation as well as Power Platform differentiation if you are focused only on one of these solutions. That will allow Business Central partner to achieve their silver and/or gold statuses in Cloud Business Application competency.

Currently we don’t know what will be required to achieve competency and statuses and if it will be connected with recently announced BC exam (probably yes).

But Business Central implementers will have one more opportunity – to achieve Small and Midsize Cloud Solutions competency through a Business Central differentiation opportunity. Probably there will be some differences i.e. slightly different threshold.

OK, this is everything we know for now. As sook as we have more information, you can find it on the Microsoft Partner Network.

Correction and Cancelation of Posted Documents in NAV 2015

Correction and Cancelation of posted documents? First thought is that it is not possible or it is stupid, because it is not by accountant standards. But, this is not so…

This feature is one with which we have simplification of user interface and faster work, but currently only in Small Business role center. This feature is possibility to correct or cancel already posted sales and purchase invoices, but only if we have item in the lines.

When we open posted document and want to correct it, we need to press “Correct” command from ribbon. This will provide us to correct existed posted document. But, this is not allowed and it is not by NAV standards. As a matter of fact, system create credit memo with the same data as on posted invoice and automatically post it. In the same time, system create identically invoice to correct data. System however create and post new document.

When we want to cancel posted document, we need to press “Cancel” command from ribbon. This will create credit memo with identically data and post it document automatically.

If we want to create credit memo for manually posting, but with identically data as on posted invoice, we need to press “Create Corrective Credit Memo” command. System will only create credit memo as posted invoice, but will not post it. You need to do it manually.
