PO in VB

vyanku

Can we create and post PO through VB for NAV 4.0?

NEVER do any posting, creation of records etc from an outside appl. as this wil not do any of the business logic within the NAV appl. [-X =;

Indeed, you shouldn't do that.

You should make sure you execute business logic. That means you should be using a NAS Server (C/FRONT doesn't execute BL!!) to connect with a 3th party application. If you use NAS to do the posting, and give the instruction throug a VB application, it should be OK.

In 5.1, you'll have web services that you can expose ... . This will be a very interesting way to use business logic in your VB applications ... but that's something for in the future .

Ok
But can we only create PO using C\front?

In web service we have to create application in asp.net, is it write?

Can we use web service in 4.0, OR 5.0?

Waldo

You can already use webservices, but now, you'll have to create them yourself (together with NAS).

IN 5.1, you will be able to create webservices from within C/SIDE in a very simple way.


Creating PO in VB is not advisable either, because of the lack of validation code.
You could create a record in a temp table, and the NAS could pick that record and create the PO for you.

You need to either write the record into a staging table and have a routine inside NAV process those records into a 'real' PO, or develop a communication mechanism inside of NAV that is able to receive records in a certain way, like an XML document.
