Customising NAV to send Invoices to Lightyear

Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Microsoft Dynamics ERP is a customisable ERP system used by many of the largest suppliers.  

Microsoft Dynamics NAV can automatically send system generated PDF invoices to Lightyear Customers by following the below steps.  This is a one time action for the supplier and means they no longer have to manually distribute invoices to you.  WIN/WIN  (Note, the exact steps may vary depending on the version of NAV) .   If you are having trouble with a supplier who you know is using NAV, please send them the following guidance - LINK




How to: Set Up Document Sending Profiles

You can set each customer up with a preferred method of sending sales documents, so that you do not have to select a sending option every time you choose the Post and Send action.

In the Document Sending Profiles window, you set up different sending profiles that you can select from in the Document Sending Profile field on a customer card. You can select the Default check box to specify that the document sending profile is the default profile for all customers, except for customers where the Document Sending Profile field is filled with another sending profile.

When you choose the Post and Send action on a sales document, the Post and Send Confirmation dialogue box shows the sending profile used, either the one set up for the customer or the default for all customers. In the dialogue box, you can change the sending profile for the sales document. For more information, see How to: Invoice Sales.
