How would we go about object numbers and customers' licenses? How do we add our object id range we develop in to be part of the customers' license? Thanks in advance!How To: Get help, find an Business Central Partner, work together sucessfully
Hi, if you already have Business Central or Dynamics Nav in use, have some issues, then a helping consultant is often hard to find, especially soon. Business Central is like every ERP system a very complex system, where a consultant needs to know all the details, all processes from sales to purchase to inventory to finance and much more. Many customers think thats easy, but it is'nt. A good communication, explaining what is needed or whats the problem in detail is needed for a good collaboration. Also quick answers are needed. Freelancers are mostly the better choice because many of them have better knowledge, more experience than employees from big companies, are much cheaper than big software companies, much more flexible and quicker in answering, solving issues. And they are more focused, more interested in "work is done", because a satisfied customer is a customer. But they need really good support from the customer to do the job. Big software companies can wait months for answers, for informations and it does not matter, because they have enough other custumers. Freelancers have to plan their time and work accurate. If you plan to implement an ERP system then Business Central is a great choice. The choice of the best partner is important, should be a friend, a buddy, someone a buddy knows or the IT partner who delivered the Windows and MS Office licenses. It takes time to find the best matching partner. So google for a matching Business Central Consultant. That can be a Freelancer or a small company. Talk to the people, tell them your issues and processes, ask for ad hoc solutions. Its not needed that the one selected knows your branche in detail, its much more important that he listens and understands, has ideas and solutions, is a quick-learner, can talk to people, to your employees, hears what they have to say and can deliver a solution, which is not only a nice tool for the CEO but for tha whole company. And sympathyor the vice versa as base for decisions is worst adviser. My company provides great support for companies which want clean processes assisted by the best possible matching software based on Business Central. From first analysis to adjustments and setups and data migration to trainings to golive and after golive support. You like my text, you are interested to get in touch? Simply send me a PM, visit my homepage or send a mail, informations on my profile. regards Franz Company Advisor, Software Consultant, Project Manager, Allrounder, Freelancer
Licenses required to retain access to historic data
Hi Team, Please validate if below statement is true. We need to know the minimum number of FO licenses required to retain access to historic data on F&O as the client is migrating from on-prem FO to the Business Central cloud. We believe it should be 1 according to resources available to us, but we have been told we may require all 20 FO Licenses to retain access. Please confirm which it is. Regards, Kumar
HELP with AL Development for Dynamics 365 Business Central
I need to show the table in the Brand Name field, but not all columns, but only two (Code and Description). The field "Brand Name" should be similar to the work of the field "Serial Nos.". Look, when the field expands, a table with two columns appears. I need the same, you know? That is, I mean that I need the Code column and the Description column in the same form as the Serias Nos. field (code and description) I need the same field, but I will name it the "brand name" and there I will have a Item table with a code and description. My code: tableextension 50115 "Brand Name" extends "Item" { DataCaptionFields = "No.", Description; fields { field(50105; "Brand Name"; Text[250]) { Caption = 'Brand Name'; Description = 'It is a code and description'; Editable = true; TableRelation = Item."No."; DataClassification = ToBeClassified; } } } pageextension 50115 ItemBrandPageExt extends "Item Card" { layout { addlast(Item) { field("Brand Name";Rec."Brand Name") { ApplicationArea = All; Caption = 'Brand Name'; ToolTip = 'It is code and description'; } } } } query 50115 ItemBrandQuery { Caption = 'ItemBrandQuery'; QueryType = Normal; QueryCategory = 'Item'; elements { dataitem(Item; Item) { column(No; "No.") { Caption = 'Code'; } column(Description; Description) {Caption = 'Description'; } } } trigger OnBeforeOpen() begin end; }

Hi A customer has asked us to help them, but they would rather not accept the reseller link. They say that they have previously received support from another supplier w/o accepting a reseller link, but instead filling out a web form. Has anyone come across this before and if so. Could you point me in the direction of this web form? It concerns support on a BC environment. There is no license sale involved. Thanks. Br/ Annike
Transferring Business Premium Licenses Between Partners
My understanding is that NCE imposes a strict limit of 300 Business SKU's per tenancy. If we are transferring from a different CSP partner to ours we normally purchase the licenses first and then ask the other partner to cancel. If we wish to transfer 290 Business Premium licenses then I presume that this process won't work?
