video2Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Finance New Features COST ACCOUNTING; Clients First (52:27)  This is one of the only comprehensive videos I’ve seen to date that covers the new NAV2013 cost accounting features. It’s geared toward the finance super user. The video is presented by Andreas Gunther, Microsoft Escalation Engineer. There are two demos, the first from 6:20 to 16:47 showing where to find the new features and the second from 26:49 to 52:00 showing new functionality. In between the demos, there is some discussion of advanced setup considerations, posting and transferring data, allocations, reporting using account schedules, and budgeting.

There are a whole lot of very technical NAV2013 videos out there made for programmers and NAV developers.  Videos geared toward the NAV end-user are a bit more difficult to find. I’ve added a new page to the blog so I can add videos I’ve found that I think are helpful. I’ll review each video I find personally and post some comments on each to make it easier for you to decide if you want to spend your time viewing it yourself.

Video1Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Finance New Features CASH FLOW FORECASTING; Clients First (45:37)  This is one of the more comprehensive cash flow forecasting videos I’ve seen to date geared toward the finance super user for the new cash flow forecasting features. The video is presented by Dirk Reeps, Microsoft Support Engineer. He covers the different data sources used to construct the forecast, what parameters are required, shows a basic demo of the new functionality from 12:42 to 16:15, and some more specific examples from 22:06 to 36:50. From 7:32 to about 9:32, there is a nice discussion of how to include budgeting for cash flow forecasting, and starting at 38:20, there is a discussion of dimensions with cash flow forecast, and account schedules at 39:56.

video3Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Finance New Features DIMENSIONS; Clients First (40:13)  This is one of the only comprehensive videos I’ve seen to date  that covers the redesigned NAV2013 dimensions.  It’s geared toward finance super users as well as developers and discusses in detail why Microsoft made the design changes to dimensions in NAV2013 as well as how the new functionality works. Important new information include the use of SQL for transformation of dimensions from old to new databases instead of the upgrade toolkit, coding changes to the update analysis dimension as well as to the close income statement, and coverage of known issues and work arounds for dimension limitations. The video is presented by Alessandro Vannini, Microsoft Escalation Engineer. The overall pace is pretty slow, but hang in there, the information is worth it! The demo picks up at 22:10 and shows some nice examples of using Ctrl-Alt-F1 to view the dimension sets on the page while still maintaining the end-user view of individual dimensions.

There are a whole lot of very technical NAV2013 videos out there made for programmers and NAV developers.  Videos geared toward the NAV end-user are a bit more difficult to find. I’ve added a new page to the blog so I can add videos I’ve found that I think are helpful. I’ll view each video I find personally and post some comments on each to make it easier for you to decide if you want to spend your time viewing it yourself.

I’ve got a pretty big list to start with, and will put a post out there each time I get a new set of videos reviewed and on the page. If you’ve seen some great stuff out there, or if you’re working on something yourself and want me to review it and add to the page, send me a message!

Let’s get started with some short but effective videos from Microsoft MVP Alex Chow.

video4Closing the year in Dynamics NAV 2013 in 2 minutes; Alex Chow (1:51)  Super quick overview of the year-end close process and great for a quick refresher of the steps you need to follow for this once a year routine. Fast, to the point, accurate. Covers closing the year, closing the income statement, what to do with dimensions, posting the journal, and gives some nice examples on using the NAV2013 search feature to find these functions that we do infrequently.

video5Processing vendor 1099 in Dynamics NAV 2013 in 2 minutes; Alex Chow (1:52)  Super quick overview of setting up a vendor for proper 1099 processing.  Also covers how to post your invoices to gather 1099 information properly and how to print out the 1099s directly from NAV2013.  Hidden gem: quick tour of the same information in NAV Classic.
