While confuguring the visual studio codes hit few errors
we need to update the public URL from powershell or administor tool and restart the service
Import-Module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\110\Service\NavAdminTool.ps1' Set-NAVServerConfiguration -KeyName PublicWebBaseURL -ServerInstance Dynamicsnav110 -KeyValue http://localhost:8080/dynamicsnav110
After publish the app ,its working fine , inorder to debug the application (F5) from visual studio code we need to disable CAS policy,
open Server config file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\110\Service\Microsoft.Dynamics.NAV.Server.exe.config update netfx40_legacysecuritypolicy to false , restart the service and try again
<netfx40_legacysecuritypolicy enabled="false"/>

Scheduled reports are entered in the job queue and processed at the scheduled time, similar to other jobs. If we choose to save the report to a file, then the processed report will sent to the Report Inbox,
While Scheduling the report, the scheduler page hitting warning message There is no running job queue for scheduled reports.
This is the standard error , you have to create new job queue with Job queue Category filter blank . Start Job queue and try again
Job queues enables users to schedule and run specific reports and codeunits. You can set jobs to run one time, or recurring basis
Previous versions we have to install NAS to process job Queue , 2013 and higher versions default service will start process this job queue entries .
Make sure the running User ID has enough permission to run the report
In this post we will create a new Workflow Event . The event tied to the Dynamics NAV Sales post functionality, While posting the sales invoice based on the workflow conditions program will auto send email and update the pdf report on report inbox

Update the two lines to Nav 5.1 version object and export again.
In this article we are going to see how to create a Matrix Report ,
Matrix reports display grouped data and summary information. You can group data by multiple fields or expressions in row and column groups.A matrix report grows horizontally and vertically on the page

we have one new requirement to read outlook from Navision
Details
User will send one text file. The text file will be on specific format, then program should read new mails from outlook and download the file to a pacific place . Read the text file and creates item journals and posts it.
The main point program should download the attachment file, through outlook automation we can download the attachment .
Here is one example for downloading the mail
Create the automation variables check the image
Outlook mail Codeunit
IF ISCLEAR(outlookapplication) THEN
CREATE(outlookapplication,FALSE);
outlooknamespace:=outlookapplication.GetNamespace('MAPI');
outlooknamespace.Logon('Outlook','',TRUE,TRUE);
outlookMAPIFolder:=outlooknamespace.GetDefaultFolder(6); //6 means inbox
outlookitems:=outlookMAPIFolder.Items;
Findcriteria:='[ReceivedTime]>'+Text001+FORMAT(TODAY-1)
+Text001+' AND [Unread] =true ';
outlookitems:=outlookMAPIFolder.Items.Restrict(Findcriteria);
I:=1;
endofloop:=outlookitems.Count;
WHILE I<=endofloop DO
BEGIN
outlookemail:=outlookitems.Item(I);
outlookAttachments:=outlookemail.Attachments;
AttCount:=outlookAttachments.Count ;
IF AttCount>0 THEN
FOR K:=1 TO AttCount DO BEGIN
Path:='E:\Outlook Attachment path\'+outlookAttachments.Item(K).FileName;
outlookAttachments.Item(K).SaveAsFile(Path);
END;
I+=1;
END;
create one Outlook Attachment path folder and run the codeunit
now the codeuint will filter last two days unread mails from outlook and all the attachment files will save to E:\Outlook Attachment path\
you can download the object file from here
Tips
Find criteria we can use different conditions
eg: [ReceivedTime]>’18/08/13′ AND [Unread] =true AND [Subject] = ‘item’

A pivot table is a data processing tool used to query, organize and summarize data or information between spreadsheets, tables or databases. Dragging and dropping fields into a pivot table facilitates rotational, or pivotal, structural changes.
Using excel automation we can create the excel Pivot table report from Navision
This is one example to analyze the customer ledger entries records in table 21
Create one blank report with dataitem Cust. Ledger Entry and update the reports Processonly status to true
Add below variable’s in report (click the image to view the enlarge image)
Cust. Ledger Entry - OnPreDataItem()
CREATE(Excel);
Excel.Workbooks.Add();
Sheet:=Excel.ActiveSheet;
Sheet.Name := 'CUST_LEDGER';
Window.OPEN(Text00001);
Excel.Visible(TRUE);
I:=5;
Sheet.Range('A1').Value:= "Cust. Ledger Entry".TABLECAPTION;
Sheet.Range('C1').Value:= 'USER ID ';
Sheet.Range('D1').Value:=USERID;
Sheet.Range('C2').Value:= 'DATE ';
Sheet.Range('D2').Value:=TODAY;
UpdateExcelrange;
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[1]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry".FIELDCAPTION("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Entry No.");
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[2]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry".FIELDCAPTION("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Posting Date");
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[3]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry".FIELDCAPTION("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Customer No.");
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[4]).Value:=Cust.FIELDCAPTION(Cust.Name);
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[5]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry".FIELDCAPTION("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Document No.");
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[6]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry".FIELDCAPTION("Cust. Ledger Entry".Description);
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[7]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry".FIELDCAPTION("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Global Dimension 1 Code");
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[8]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry".FIELDCAPTION("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Global Dimension 2 Code");
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[9]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry".FIELDCAPTION("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Amount (LCY)");
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[10]).Value:='YEAR';
UpdateExcelrange is a function to update the Excelrange array variable
in excel YEAR column will update with month + year such as if 1st January 2013 then year value will be Jan 2013
Cust. Ledger Entry - OnAfterGetRecord()
CLEAR(Cust);
IF Cust.GET("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Customer No.") THEN ;
K:=ROUND(((I-5)/"Cust. Ledger Entry".COUNT) * 10000,1);
Window.UPDATE(1, K);
"Cust. Ledger Entry".CALCFIELDS("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Amount (LCY)");
UpdateExcelrange;
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[1]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry"."Entry No.";
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[2]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry"."Posting Date";
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[3]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry"."Customer No.";
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[4]).Value:=Cust.Name;
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[5]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry"."Document No.";
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[6]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry".Description;
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[7]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry"."Global Dimension 1 Code";
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[8]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry"."Global Dimension 2 Code";
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[9]).Value:="Cust. Ledger Entry"."Amount (LCY)";
Sheet.Range(ExcelRange[10]).Value:=FORMAT("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Posting Date",0,'')+' '+
FORMAT("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Posting Date",0,'');
the Pivot table is creating on the on post data item trigger
Updated one option field in request form , user can select customer or dimension, based on the choice the pivot table row values will change
Cust. Ledger Entry - OnPostDataItem()
xlPivotCache:=Excel.ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(1,'CUST_LEDGER!A6:J'+FORMAT(I));
xlPivotCache.CreatePivotTable('','PivotTable1');
Sheet :=Excel.ActiveSheet();
xlPivotTable := Sheet.PivotTables('PivotTable1');
Sheet.Name := 'Cust_Ledger_Pivot';
xlPivotField := xlPivotTable.PivotFields('YEAR');
xlPivotField.Orientation := 1;
xlPivotField.Position := 1;
IF "Pivot Base"="Pivot Base"::Customer THEN
xlPivotField := xlPivotTable.PivotFields(Cust.FIELDCAPTION(Cust.Name))
ELSE IF "Pivot Base"="Pivot Base"::Dimension THEN
xlPivotField := xlPivotTable.PivotFields("Cust. Ledger Entry".FIELDCAPTION("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Global Dimension 1 Code"));
xlPivotField.Orientation := 1;
xlPivotField.Position := 2;
xlPivotField := xlPivotTable.PivotFields("Cust. Ledger Entry".FIELDCAPTION("Cust. Ledger Entry"."Amount (LCY)"));
xlPivotTable.AddDataField( xlPivotField);
xlPivotField := xlPivotTable.DataPivotField;
xlPivotField := xlPivotTable.PivotFields('YEAR');
xlPivotField.Orientation := 2;
xlPivotField.Position := 1;
pivot table output
code for update excel range function
UpdateExcelrange() I+=1; ExcelRange[1]:='A'+FORMAT(I); ExcelRange[2]:='B'+FORMAT(I); ExcelRange[3]:='C'+FORMAT(I); ExcelRange[4]:='D'+FORMAT(I); ExcelRange[5]:='E'+FORMAT(I); ExcelRange[6]:='F'+FORMAT(I); ExcelRange[7]:='G'+FORMAT(I); ExcelRange[8]:='H'+FORMAT(I); ExcelRange[9]:='I'+FORMAT(I); ExcelRange[10]:='J'+FORMAT(I);
