Implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central On-Premise

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 – An Overview

There are quite a few new things in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018. Releases prior to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 mainly concentrated on application or architectural changes, while Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 incorporated changes in relation to both aspects at the same time, and Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 has made drastic improvements to what was originally built for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013.

In this chapter, we will get an overview of the new features included in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018. We will first go through the features that end users will appreciate in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018. After this, we will take a look at the features that developers and administrators will appreciate (the IT changes).

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, as mentioned in the previous chapter, is the evolution of Microsoft Dynamics...

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 – what's new

We will now talk about the features introduced in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018; some are completely new, while others are functional optimizations already present in previous releases.

There are many interesting features in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. I have decided to report some that I consider to be important and that need to be borne in mind with regard to projects. Anyone wanting to use Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central must be aware of these features in order to use them in projects. These features are outlined in the following diagram:

The product is really vast, so it is not possible to illustrate everything. The important thing is to provide the pills to remember what is, and what was, introduced over time, as illustrated in the project's timeline in the first chapter...

Application changes in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018

There are many things that have changed in the new release of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. A number of things have disappeared, some have changed, some have remained identical to Dynamics NAV 2016, seen in the previous edition of this book, and a bunch of new functionalities and improvements have been added.

The first thing that users will see is the new look and feel of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Microsoft has implemented a metro-style design across all of their product lines. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is no different. The basic metro design is essentially focused on the content of the application, and not its graphics.

This new look and feel of the Windows client is not all that different from its predecessors; it is different, however, to the Windows client of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business...

IT changes

Several IT-related changes have been introduced with the release of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018, including the following:

  • Easier installation and deployment
  • Easier administration
  • New clients
  • New services

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server administration tool

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 includes an updated server administration tool for administering Dynamics NAV Server.

It is a snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). When installing the server option, the server administration tool is a default feature.

Once the server option is installed, you will find it on your Windows Start menu with all the other Microsoft Dynamics NAV components installed on the same machine.

From the server administration...

Best features from previous releases of Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 has introduced many architectural changes, but also a number of updated application functionalities. As already mentioned, since they are interesting, I decided to report on them in this edition of the book as well.

Best and updated application features

Some of the features in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 that are new or improved from previous versions will now be illustrated. Users who will use Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 should be aware that they exist.

RapidStart services improved

...

Summary

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 introduces a number of changes compared with the previous versions of the application. These changes are applicable to all the application areas; there have been changes to the client in the way it accesses the application, to the functionality, to the way development is executed, and there have also been IT-related changes.

In this chapter, we went through most of the relevant changes concerning an implementation introduced in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 and some interesting features from the previous releases.

In the next chapter, we will examine a number of general considerations relating to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, such as the data model used in the application, the way posting routines are developed, and the SIFT technology.

If you or your company is planning on using or upgrading Microsoft Dynamics Nav most versions towardsDynamics 365 you should definitely add this to your bookshelf.It is written in such a way you can skim through and gather a lot of in-sight in just a few minutes.This is not a coders book it is an implementation book the clue is in the title.I found I got my moneys worth in a few hours.

Big and nice ebook, many topics covered about NAV 2018 and Business Central.Useful for implementation and upgrade from previous versions, it is not a book based on development, some chapter is a bit boring but the book overall is still interesting.

Umfangreiches Handbuch das bei der Einführung von Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central unterstützt und danach als Nachschlagewerk seine Dienste leistet. Die Entwicklung des MS-ERP-Systems schreitet jedoch schnell voran. Doch wer einsteigt wird die Hilfe auf Papier schätzen lernen.

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
