Hi Cgbarnes,
Thank you for the explanation of what you are encountering. It sounds as though the salespeople are able to enter the Sales Orders in CRM, but that those orders are not being created in Financials as expected.
The very first thing to check is whether the Sales Orders are being Submitted in CRM. When you are viewing the Order in CRM, it is necessary to click on the Submit Order button so that the order will be submitted to the Financials product. The submitted orders should be visible in Financials if you search for and open the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Sales Orders page. Here you can mark one or more orders and click the "Create in Dynamics NAV" button so that the order will be created within Financials.
Could these steps be what you are missing? Please let me know how this goes for you.
