Posted on by 100

I need to prepare a customer report in which I need date of creation of customer. Dynamics NAV currently doesn't have "creation date" field in NAV, is there a way I can add that field via development environment? Kindly advise

    You can add the field. But you will also need to add some code to use that field. So if you are not familiar with the process i recommend you reach out to your partner and have them assist you in this case.

    Hi, Yes, you can do it through the development environment.

    But as Inge said, this also requires adding some code.

    PS: You can refer to the standard feature in BC and add the following four fields.

    Data audit system fields are added to every table in Dynamics 365 Business Central

    SystemLastModifiedOn
    SystemLastModifiedBy
    SystemCreatedBy
    SystemCreatedOn

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    Thank you NorthW and Yun Zhu. I found an old blog and followed the steps but had an error, I guess it could due to the different nav version
