A practitioner’s musings on Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations
Hope for the best.
2022 was one the best year of my life.
4 lesson I learned in 2022. Extracted from 4 Agreement book
-Understand the power of words. Change your voice in side your. Change the words
-Nothing is personal. Never ever take anything personal.
-Dont assume. Face the reality. Ask untill clear.
-What ever is the situation. Do your best.
What ever you do, there is always way to learn something. Buddah once said ““When the student is ready, the teacher will appear”. So Google his here for my teacher.
So today I decided to learn Business Central. And here is my first blog post.
While making my notes, these punjabi folk song comes in my mind, Also note it down.
jangal bele phiran dhoondendi ( I am searching my beloved rivers and forest)
ranjhan mere sange ( My beloved is with me in my mind)
nee menda dil ranjhan rawal mange ( My heart seeking you)
ranjhan rawal mange ( beloved name folk name)
majhian aaiyan meda dhol na aaya ( My fellows come back but my beloved not)
heer kookay vich jhange ( Heer calling her beloved name in forest madly)
lets go back to point.
On demo instance of Business Central allows only two demo companies. I created many.
And after fourth Company. Business Central stop working.
Its quite different form F&O. I found following error message
‘Your program License doesn’t permit support maximum N non-demonstration companies’
So my first search how to remove companies with powerShell so here are my notes for my future self.
first step to import commendlet module that comes to Business Central. Location is some where in c:\program files folder \ Business central\ Service
After finding that path Following command works
Import-Module ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\180\Service\NavAdminTool.ps1’
So it imported what next
Now I need list of Companies in local instance. For getting companies “Get-NAVCompany” command.
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-NAVCompany
cmdlet Get-NAVCompany at command pipeline position 1 Supply values for the following parameters: ServerInstance: bc180
so I get following list. And interestingly there are a lot of … Name there. And I created them.
Now I have to delete the Companies step by Step. On local installation as demo. There is no need of Tenant So following statement works for me.
Remove-NAVCompany -ServerInstance BC180 -CompanyName ‘Test Bab Jii’
Remove-NAVCompany -ServerInstance BC180 -CompanyName ‘Test my company’
Remove-NAVCompany -ServerInstance BC180 -CompanyName ‘CRONUS Pakistan’
After deleting These companies. BC instance started to work fine.
Time changes. Thoughts changes. I am not technical much now. New things are less as technical side. I am facing more challenges in closing things to clients. UAT Sessions and Probably Conference room pilot sessions. Some times I have to fix issue and there is a lot of debugging. Now I am not doing code and development. I have to debug and fix the issues. Other side, I have to discuss with clients, what is possible and what is not possible and how much time require to develop certain feature. Some times I have to develop some process to finalize certain feature.
Now I am facing a lot of notes taking, because I started to forget, what I did two or three days ago. So I am start learning and implementation of Getting thing done, Second brain and Check list Manifesto. And possible something in between.
Now I am more interested in project management, trainings and hand over sessions.
But being a software developer, I am more interest, how it do instead what it do.
Any how if we did not change, we are under the change. So I am thinking to shift this blog to highly technical blog to simple musing revolving around software development. Management issues. Client handling tips.
simple tip, if you want to show number value with % sign you can use following expression in SSRS
=FormatNumber(((Sum(Fields!OTAmount.Value)/Sum(Fields!EmpSalarySubOT.Value))*100),2)+”%”

After watching this video, I decided to restart my blog. I feel its time to start again. But this time, to work different way. Blog plus youtube video. Previously I faced criticize when I started share functional videos. That end user learn himself, how we consultant earn. Later I found answer, if I am not doing that some one else do. Lets do so much noise that original voice hides.
You know in Ancient India (Indo-Pak) we had some ancient technique for medicine, We called it desi Tib. 200 years back western medical and Desi medical both are at same level. So why Western medical spreading whole world and become only one way and why desi medical or desi tariqa is no where. The answer is sharing. what happens here, if some one found some prescription for medicine, they hide it from world and solution left in families for generations. European shared it with the world. And only sharing help the westerns medicine to grow.
I found two website that become my inspiration to starts again. These websites focus on Microsoft Business Central. They share everything In product. These are great inspiration for me.

So first of all we have to go on windows and click to open Snagit 2021. This will open the capture window.
So Our capture windows open.
Now it has three options.
First option is Preview in Editor.
Whatever we capture. It will automatically open in the Editor. Lets try this.
Second option is to copy to Clipboard. This option is good, when you want to open or paste files directly to a third party app for example, MS word or MS Paint.
This option is capture Cursor. This option is good when you record to take a screenshot and the cursor will come.
Third option is 5 Second Delay. This option works usually when we want to capture. Menu. or things that come after 5 few minutes. For example from this site we want to capture menu, which did not possible either we click on capture button this will disappear. So we use 5 second delay.
If we click on the Image section, We found some more options like.
We will explore all these options in next up coming videos.
Effects There are a lot effects like Image has border effect. For example If I select effect bordar, when I capture, image opens Editor with Border.
Share Image directory can be shared to word lets try. We can share them in more detail in the next Video.
If we see the Video panel. It is almost identical to Image. But less options then Image. Here you can also see the Region or window.
Second option is directly shared to different options like file, ftp, youtube as well documents like word PowerPoint text.
Here are two more options like record microphone, enable webcam as well as record system Audio.
