Then you may use a new xmlport or a processing only report for importing the data from e.g. csv/xml files. For automation of the import you can use Job queue. Also possible are nav soap or odata web services and rapid start services. best you import your sales data in buffer tables. for further data processing of your imported sales data you'll need some custom codeunits, where you filter, what you import and define which data will be inserted to which field in the target tables.
Even I was thinking of the same ,but as you said the complexities associated with the formats is the major challenge
following alexanders post it seems that you are looking for a method for mass sales data import. best would be to use an EDI addin. there are many nav partners, who provide this kind of addin.
e.g. yaveon proe-scm edi: www.yaveon.de/.../edi-trade.html
We have had couple of this kind of projects. Finally it ended up in the structure when distributors were sending their sales information in text files or via web services. The biggest challenge was, as usual, to synchronize the SKUs in you product matrix and distributor's product matrix as they are not always the same and you need to maintain and support the mapping between those.
Dynamics NAV provides a full sales/purchase module. Nav can also handle huge amount of data. You can work with different client apps: Windows client, Web client, tablet/phone client. It's possible to customize dynamics nav to meet your requirements. That's normally done by a nav partner. Nav can also be linked to external systems using published nav Web services.
this is going to be implemented ,since they deal with many distributors , procuring licenses for everyone would be difficult
please describe more details.
what are your special needs?
do you already use dynamics nav or do you plan to use it?
