NAVtip #1: the calculator
On visits to customers I often get astonished and surprised faces while showing something in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Although some users have already worked for years in NAV, they may not know, or have forgotten, some of the small things that make life easier. So in this new "NAVtip" series we’ll share some of our favourite time-savers.
My first tip is called “The Calculator”. Did you know that you can calculate in any decimal field in NAV? For example in the Quantity field on a Sales or Purchase Order Line or in my example in the Minimum Order Quantity field on the item card. Let’s assume we have 6 pieces of the item in a carton and 4 cartons on a pallet and we need to order minimum of 2 pallets:

Simply tab out of the field and see the result:

Also more complicated calculations are possible, e.g. (2+3)*5 = 25 or 2+3*5 = 17

Try it out next time you need a calculator.

NAVtip #2: Standard Journals
Today's timesaving #NAVtip is “Standard Journals”. Finance teams use G/L journals on a daily basis and I see them entering the same journal lines over and over again. Luckily there are a couple of functions that help us automate the use of the journals and save some time.

NAVTip #7: Controlling the Unposted Document Warning
The unposted document warning was introduced as a new feature in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017. Whenever a user opens or enters a document, such as a Sales Invoice or Purchase Invoice, and then closes the window without posting the document, Microsoft Dynamics NAV warns that the document had not been posted, and asks if they would still like to close the document page.
