NAV 2013 - Budget Import Question

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have copied our prior year budget information in NAV to update with our current year budget information.  This process has worked fine from what I can tell.  I have been testing the NAV 2013 budget export & import options.  I seem to be able to export fine to Excel.  All 12 months are coming over - that is, July to June (our fiscal period).    I have been able to update the values with no problem in Excel.  I have not changed any formatting, just keyed my new budget values into the spreadsheet.  However, when I import back into NAV from Excel with my updated budget values, and use the replace entries option, I expected to see the values I entered on the Excel spreadsheet transferred into NAV.  Rather, it appears that when NAV is importing the Excel data, it is taking the value existing in the GL budget for a particular GL account and adding the new value I have keyed in the spreadsheet.  Example - if budget showed $200 for July in advertising in previous year and this year budget is $225 for the month of July in advertising, I thought NAV would replace the $200 previously shown with the new value of $225.  Rather, NAV is now showing $425 for the month of July.  In addition, the month of June (ending month of our fiscal period) is not being updated at all.  The value I entered in the Excel file for some reason is not brought over during the import process.  Obviously "replace entries" is not doing what it should be or else I am missing something.  If anyone else has had this experience, I would really appreciate your advice on what I might be doing wrong.

    * it seems to be a bug in the import routine processing the "replace entries" flag. contact your nav partner or the ms support.

    * check if there was a customization on the import routine.
