AVF Launches Customer Care Plus and User Group Meetings
In May, AVF introduced Customer Care Plus--a program designed to package savings and provide additional services to AVF's Navision users. One benefit of AVF Customer Care Plus membership is admission to bi-monthly User Group Meetings. Non-CCP members can attend these meeting for an annual administrative fee. We hosted our first User Group Meeting in July where attendees viewed features of Navision 4.0 and received training on Payment Tolerances, Change Log, Document Archiving, Campaign Pricing, and Using Standard Customer/Vendor Codes. AVF also demonstrated new PDF Rendering software and the new AVF on-line Help Desk.
The User Group Meetings provide an opportunity for Navision users to discuss issues, collaborate and learn from each other. Beyond the content that was presented in the July meeting, we developed new ideas that resulted in two User Group sessions (one focused on For-Profit issues and one focused on Not-for-Profit issues) and an on-line User Group Discussion Forum. The separate User Group sessions have an overlapping lunch, allowing all attendees to meet and share ideas. The separate sessions are focused on the specific issues of For-Profit businesses or Not-for-Profit needs, allowing attendees to gather information that is relevant to them. The on-line User Group Discussion Forum is the ideal place to post questions, thoughts and ideas that can fuel topics for future User Group meetings.
In sponsoring User Group meetings for our clients, AVF hopes to provide an open environment of ideas where Navision users can learn from each other to enhance their careers, build new skills, and gain a fresh perspective on their daily activities. We encourage all AVF clients to take advantage of the CCP program and the User Group meetings that we are hosting.

Undo Quantity Received on a Posted Receipt
This is a new feature in Microsoft Navision 3.60 and 3.70 which gives you the ability to undo a posted receipt.
For example, if you have created a purchase order with the wrong number of items and posted it as received (but not invoiced), you can undo the posting.
In previous versions of Navision it was necessary to create Purchase Credit Memos to correct the Item Ledger Entries and Value Ledger Entries. You also needed a very specific description so as not to lose the audit trail. In Navision 3.60 and 3.70, Undo Receipt cleans up everything so it looks as if nothing transpired.
To Undo Quantity Postings:
1. Click Purchases & Payables, Posted Receipts and browse to the relevant document.
1. Select the line or lines you want to correct and click Functions, Undo Receipt.
The program will now insert a corrective line in the posted document. The Qty. to Receive will be set to the original Quantity and the Quantity Received field on the purchase order is set to zero.
3. Go back to the purchase order and click Functions, Reopen to reopen it.
4. Correct the entry in the Quantity field and post the order.
