NAV 2009 Belgium - SEPA, Isabel and RTC Reports!

In Belgium, we've had some good news regarding GDL. After the new crappy approach of Microsoft (sorry, but it is..), being that we (as Belgium, and a lot of other affected countries) are a "group 2" country, we finally have some good news. Apparently there are people at Microsoft that do care enough about Belgium (thanks, guys!) .. and have spent time in getting "some" should-be-in-NAV's in the product.. . Here is an update:

Isabel 6 & SEPA Credit Transfer

With this release, Microsoft Dynamics NAV Belgium supports the ISABEL 6 software and the use of SEPA credit transfers (SEPA vendor payments). At the time of this release the software has not run through the ISABEL certification process. This means that the software is not allowed for automatic communication with the ISABEL server. Manual up and download of the files in ISABEL6 environment is possible though.

An extensive whitepaper that is included in this release, describes in detail the changes and setup. We strongly recommend you to read this whitepaper and get familiar with the new software, before installing this at the client side. The changes in the Payment Journal are quite drastic and the number of objects that are shipped with this release is quite high. We therefore recommend reading the release notes and Whitepaper on PartnerSource. You can find it here:

Report Transformation

This is also sooooo good news. One of the biggest advantages of the new NAV 2009 technology is reports. But from the release in Belgium, except from som simple list-reports, there were no reports available in RDLC-layout. No invoice, Credit Memo, ... no documents! As you probably know, it can be a huge job to create it from scratch. When you've got a report to start from .. it's a huge difference.

So now there are a bunch of reports available, and not only for Belgium, but also Finland, Norway, Portugal and Sweden. Here you can download them. There are the reports that came available:

In March, a new batch of countries will be released ...
