Introduction: Have you ever faced the issue of the Dashboard taking forever to load? If yes, then did you inspect the reason why? Anyways, the Dashboard loading times dependent upon the calculations used to generate the figures on each of the dashboard tile. Most of the times the calculations are so tedious that the results involve querying multiple tables with multiple filters. Let's see how we can optimize the Dashboard load times. Pre-requisites: Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Business Central. Development Environment or NAV. VS code with AL Language Extension for Business Central. Solution: 1. Figuring out which all tiles required real-time calculations VS non- real-time. Thus, by separating real-time from non- real-time, we can differentiate the execution patterns.

Introduction: While I was testing InterCompany Setup, I faced an issue probably a limitation of the CRONUS standard license which comes with standard NAV/ BC On-Premise installations.

Instead, it kept ruining things more. The Server Instance would stop without any errors and NAV Windows Client would infinitely work trying to connect to the workspace. Finally, I found that using Windows Powershell with NAV Manag...

One legal entity creates the Load and schedules it, while another manages with the freight requirements. The information is not shared between both the legal entities. Thus, we need to store the data separately. Pre-requisites: For Microsoft Dynamics NAV: - C/Side Development Environment - Multiple legal entity(Company) setup For Microsoft Dynamics Business Central: - Visual Studio Code - AL Language Extension - Multiple legal entity(Company) setup Solution Design: 1. Create two Tables say LoadCompany1 and LoadCompany2 with same fields 2. Set DataPerCompany property is to TRUE on both the tables. 3. In NAV/ BC, there are common tables but the data into the tables are different. Thus, the system has to manage different version for a single table based on an entity that you're currently working o...
