Autoomatically post recurring journals

dleroux

The customer is not happy with recurring journals, She wants to set them up and never have to think about them again (have them post automatically) Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks much.

Of course, you can use Application server to post the journal as planned or in some pre-set times etc... Simple call the same "code" as under the F11 button in some timer with some rules... but you will need to do something with possible errors etc.

If you don't have the application server you could use the job scheduler instead to run the code. The job schedular will run most anything on the schedule you setup. It is made for the service module, but you can license it without the remaining service granuls.

I have it run non-printing reports to populate preset requisions every night, reset customer credit limits, printer sales reports, ect.

You still will have to have someone program the code to post the journal.

The only thing that the scheduler does not do is run unattended. You will have to have a computer logged into Navision, running the Job Scheduler. As soon as Navision is closed on that computer, the scheduler stops as well.

The only way to have an unattended process is to run it inside a NAS.

Good point, we run a client on the server, so it pretty much is always running unless the server gets shut down.

I always wanted to know if it would still be running if you lock the machine.

That's the first time I hear a user asking this. In general they want to keep the control and post it themselves.
This is also better because if you completely automize it, they forget to change it when necessary with all possible consequences. => Navision doesn't work correctly => you spend time to search why => or it is maintenance or the customer pays it because it is his error => customer isn't happy anyway.
