How to find a list of Item and Vendor Creation Dates in Navision 2018

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Lovisa LH 29

Hello helpful colleagues

I need to find a list of new suppliers and new items for 2021 in Navision 2018, ie the item card and its creation date.

I have seen several blog posts for earlier versions noting similar requests, and I think its possible to find this info either through Change Log Entries, or to set this up by adding a field to the table in the Development environment. Am I on the right track?

I hope that someone can give up to date advice on the best way to find this information, or how to set it up in NAV 2018. I do have a Developer Licence but am a complete beginner.

Thanking you in advance!

Louise

    Louise,

    Adding to other replies...

    If you have implemented Change Log, you have that table to pull the Vendor and Item first Date Modified.

    You can also write all this in Jet Reports as another way of pulling the data.

    You can add a column to the Vendor and Item List of Date Modified, which then you can filter and copy to Excel.

    Last idea is to ask your Partner to create such a report in BC but I think the other methods are easier and quicker.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hello Zhu,

    Thank you for this advice.

    I will take a look and see if I am able to do it this way by myself.

    Thank you!

    Hi, Personally, I think it would be better to add new fields to manage it. In BC Microsoft has added these fields to all tables.

    You can imitate it, When you insert data, update the CreatedAt and CreatedBy, and when you modify the data, update the ModifiedAt and ModifiedBy.
    These can be done with the trigger below.

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Create a new field with 50000 id let’s say field name “date created” with Date data type and oninsert trigger and Onmodify trigger add below code of the table.

    “Date created “ := Today

    Please check this.

    Hi Nitin,

    That's just the thing, it seems that this info is not recorded.

    Take a look at these answers -

    community.dynamics.com/.../97493

    stackoverflow.com/.../is-there-a-way-to-pull-vendor-creation-date-in-dynamics-nav-2016

    I think it might be possible t find the item cards and the'r creation dates in Change Log, but I don't exactly know where

    or

    it's necessary to add a field to the table, which I would also need guidance on how to do

    Hi Nitin,

    I still don't understand; I need to know date the item card was created, not date last modified.

    Do you mean that in Change Log Entries Log Insertion means that a user has created an Item Card? Where do I see the item number?

    Hi,

    Since you have already a last date modified field so you can develop a list type report and filter with this field by putting the March month filter it will give the results of all the items.

    Thanks
