NAVTip #5: Entering dates
Date fields in NAV support many shortcuts. Here are some of my favourites:
- You can use “T” to specify today’s date or “W” to specify work date in any of the date fields.
- To specify dates from current month, you only need to specify the day - NAV automatically fills in the current month and year. So if we are in January 2016, keying in 16 and hitting enter or tab will update date field with 16-Jan-2016.
- If you’re after a certain day of the current week, you can just use first 2 characters (to keep it simple) of the day. For example, keying in “FR” will update the date field with whatever date Friday falls in current week.
Try these shortcuts next time you’re entering dates in NAV.

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.
