Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 India - Do You Know This?

Hi All,

As last week Microsoft Released Dynamics NAV 2016 with Indian Localization.

I was having NAV 2016 Cumulative Update 04 Installed, so I just restored the database and tried to access the Indian Database released with product.

To my surprise it said that The database has already been converted by a newer version.




Next I updated my exe to Latest Cumulative Updated (CU 06) Released By Microsoft and again tried to open it but again same error.

Now that was wired, and I started investigating the Exe released with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 IN release. To My surprise the exe build is 45778 which is no where available in Partner source.

I assume that is Build No. of Next Cumulative Update CU 07 which will be releasing this month.

Finding 01 - Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 IN have CU 07 Platform Fixes Applied.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember NAV 2013 R2, there was a bug identified for data deleting and Microsoft Removed Product DVD till Cumulative Update 05 and suggested to Use Cumulative Update 06.

All the Localized Versions were released but if I remember it correctly For Indian release (and I think for all other country localization where CU are not released) only Exe was upgraded no merging of Application Hotfix was done.

So based on that experience I assumed that with NAV 2016 Microsoft would have shipped NAV 2016 IN with Base Release (CU 0) but exe upgraded to Cumulative Update 07.

Check the Object Designer , the Dynamics NAV 2016 for IN is actually have Application Hotfix Merged with Version Tag 45778.

Finding 02 - Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 IN have CU 07 Application Fixes Applied.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There were so many discussion for Swach Bharat Tax for Indian Localization for NAV 2013 R2 and NAV 2009. Microsoft had released a fix for SBC for NAV 2013 and 2013 R2 already.

But with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 IN, SBC is implemented as a part product. I think so as I don't know the configuration but I see SBC in Service Tax Setup and in some Reports.

Finding 03 - Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 IN have SBC Implemented.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am reading comments on social media, where consultants have configured Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 IN Release and testing. Most of the comments I read, I find people are loving the new release and started implementing time on the product.

Aren't we proud Indian Localization is the first localized Version who received Cumulative Update 07 before its released globally.

So Thanks To Microsoft Dynamics Team for - 
 - Releasing Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 with Indian Localization.
 - Applying the Latest Cumulative Update on the Release.

At the End I would like to leave you with some questions -
  - Is Indian Localization is part of Cumulative update that are released monthly?

Stay Connected & Keep Reading.

Thanks

MSDYN365BC - Data Upgrade To Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on premises.

Hi Readers, We have already talked about the number of steps for upgrading to Business Central on Premises from different NAV versions. After that article, I received multiple requests for an article which list down steps for Data Migration. In this article, we will discuss steps of data migration to MSDYN365BC (on-Prem) from NAV 2017. For this article, I am considering a Cronus Demo Database without any customization. For an actual upgrade project, we will have to complete object merge using compare and Merge process. After the Merge Process, the next step is data migration. Let's discuss those steps. Direct Upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (on-Prem) is from following versions - 1. NAV 2015. 2. NAV 2016. 3. NAV 2017. 4. NAV 2018.
