Exactly.

so it means i must have advanced management + job module?
is there any other way for automatic?

This means that you need to use the NAV Job Queue functionality (included in BE license) and NAS (1 instance also included in BE license).

you could use a form and the timer but you would be spending a client license session.
It depends on the situation

1. Create a process only report to import the file (or codeunit, whatever you like)
2. Setup NAS (Job queue) to run that report

Done.

the problem is .... i think our customer doesnt have job module

GRIZZLY

If your customer has NAS, then you could use it for automatic job processing. Find the simple example below:

Codeunit 1 Application Management, trigger ID 99

NASHandler(ATASID : Text[260])

IF GenSetupL."Run Scheduler" THEN BEGIN
   GenSetupL.TESTFIELD("Scheduler Interval (H)");
   CREATE(NTimer);
   NTimer.Interval := 1000 * 60 * 60 * GenSetupL."Scheduler Interval (H)";
   NTimer.Enabled := TRUE;
END;

NTimer::Timer(Milliseconds : Integer)
MESSAGE(RunScheduler, FORMAT(TODAY), TIME);
CalculateBonus.RUN;

where:
Run Sheduler - additional field in setup table,
NTimer is Navision Timer automation component,
Scheduler Interval - is additional field, where interval is defined,
CalculateBonus - is a link to the report you wish to run.

Hope, it helps!

One thing is what you think and the other what you know about your customer. By the way, you don't need the Job module for the NAV Job Queue functionality.

You don't need job module. You need the application server module, which comes standard with the purchase of BRL.

so... let's say i created codeunit 50001 to import data
what is the steps to use NAS to execute this CU 50001?
