5.0 Jobs

For my company I use NAV off-course to do the invoicing and project management.

I just spent an hour figuring out how to invoice job ledger entries in 5.0

As I am not much of a manual reader I usualy make my way through the debugger and logical (NAV) thinking.

This is what I did.

1. I added a new Job Task (Used to be Phase)

2. I posted Job Journal Lines into Ledger Entries

3. Went to the Task and went to the Job Entries

4. Marked all entries and transfered them to the planning

5. Changed the Linetype to Contract

6. Created the Invoice

In 4.0 (and all previous versions until 1.0) I could start invoicing at step 3.

Are there more people out there using the 5.0 jobs in a production enviroment? Can this be done easier :?:

What are the benefits of this new system? :-s

PS. I upgraded my 4.0 database manualy since there is not yet an upgrade toolkit.

PPS: What suprised me was that after invoicing the Planning lines went to non-editable. This is very un-Navision like and I wonder how they want to migrate that to 5.1. 8-[
