Simple Tricks on Disable F4 Function

Recently, I need to disable a F4 (Delete) function in Warehouse Shipment Screen. One of the simple way, is to add a Shortcut in Form and assign F4 to it. This will overwrite Navision Standard F4 function.

Example, I have added an option under Shipment Menu Button with Caption . , F4 as Shortcut Key and Action as blank (without running anything).

So by doing this, when user press F4 in Navision Warehouse Shipment Screen, nothing will happen.

Navision Dimensions-Multiple Feature

In Navision, there is actually a faster way to set default dimensions for more than one records. Example, in Navision Chart of Accounts, lets say we need to set 2 dimensions (Agency and Department) for G/L Accounts 6110 to 6230.

Thus, instead of set default dimensions one by one, which is very time consuming. We can actually use function Dimensions-Multiple to do it all at one go. I will illustrate it below:

First, we will highlight all the G/L accounts from 6110 to 6230. Then click button Account --> Dimensions --> Dimensions-Multiple.


Then in Default Dimensions-Multiple screen, we will choose AGENCY and DEPARTMENT Dimension Code and tagged in Dimension Value Code and Value Posting. Click OK and we are done. Navision will actually set default dimensions for Agency and Department for G/L Accounts 6110 to 6230.


This great feature can be applicable not only in Chart of Accounts, it also can be used in places like Customer List, Vendor List, and Item List.

Happy New Year 2007 to all of you.......
