FAQ’s ;

Q : What happens during an LMT ?

A : The EMEA Operations Centre (EOC) will configure the new license and lock the old one.

The system will automatically “map” functionality between the old MBL license and new BRL license to ensure “like for like” functionality is achieved.

The calculation of the Enhancement Plan fee will be done by EOC and any credits for unused enhancement will be applied against the enhancement section of the new license.

Q : Will the system list price change during the transition ?

A : No, the system list price will not change.

Q : What will happen to enhancement during the transition ?

A : The period of time a customer has left on their existing MBL enhancement plan will be “valued” when the old license is locked and will be used to offset the cost of enhancement on the new BRL license.

If the customer is not valid under enhancement then they are not eligible for a transition and should re-enroll before a transition can be considered.

Q : What if a customer has a “legacy” enhancement rate of 12% or 13%, will they keep this rate after the transition ?

A : No, a transition from MBL to BRL creates a new BRL license, therefore the current enhancement rates apply. i.e. 16% for 1 year, 14% for 3 years.

Q : If there are more than 10 users transitioning, will the customer get an 80% discount on the first 10 users being transitioned and 50% discount on all users above 10 ?

A : No, if a customer is transitioning more than 10 users they will received the 50% LMT discount on all users, including the first 10. i.e. 50% discount for every user.

Q : What happens if a customer has more than 20 users ? What fee will they pay ?

A : The minimum LMT fee (£4,930) covers up to 20 users. If a customer wishes to transition more than 20 users then this minimum LMT fee no longer applies. Instead they pay a per user price for all users. In the case of the UK this is £245 (See example 2 below).

Examples ;

1. Suppose an MBL customer with active enhancement wishes to migrate their 20 users to BRL. The LMT discount is calculated as follows ;

20 users = £4,930 (Minimum LMT fee)

£4,930 ÷ 50% = £2,465 LMT Fee (This is the LMT figure which will be paid by the customer).

2. Suppose an MBL customer with active enhancement wishes to migrate all of their 30 MBL users to BRL. The LMT discount is calculated as follows ;

30 users x £245 (per user LMT fee) = £7,350

£7,350 ÷ 50% = £3,675 LMT Fee (This is the LMT figure which will be paid by the customer).

G/L Register – Navision Tip

Each time you post a G/L Entry a Register is created.

You can view Registers as follows:

NAV 2009 (RTC)

·         Departments

·         Financial Management

·         General Ledger

·         History

·         G/L Registers

Version 4, 5 and NAV 2009 (Classic)

·         Financial Management

·         General Ledger

·         History

·         Registers

Version 3

·         General Ledger

·         Registers

Against each register you can see the Creation Date, User ID, Source Code, Journal Batch Name, From and To Entry No, From and To VAT Entry No.   Filters can be applied under each of these fields, for example you may wish to look at all the General Journals from a particular date range.  

You can also navigate on the G/L Register to look at the General, Customer, Vendor, Bank Account, Fixed Asset, Maintenance Ledgers and Vat Entries.  When you have navigated you can see the date of the posted transaction – this can be different to the posting date.  The Creation Date is the system date; the actual date the transaction was posted.  The Posting date is the date the user has used to post based on the allowed from and to date in user setup or GL Setup. 

Please refer to the blog posted on 6^th February 2009 – Posting Dates which goes through the user setup and GL Setup Posting Date ranges.

There is a report called G/L Register where you can reprint these off again:

Report Filters for Microsoft Dynamics NAV

When setting filters on the request form of a report you may not be sure exactly which records will be included in the report. You can check by clicking the up arrow in the bottom left hand corner.

This shows the records which match all of the criteria you have specified and is an indication of the records that will be shown on the report. It’s also helpful to check that the filters you have set are correct.
