Process Documentation

Many times knowing what happens when Microsoft Navision posts an invoice or runs a job would help.

Here you can find documentation of Navision processes. Use Case Descriptions and Flow Diagrams (UML Activity Diagrams) are used.

Standard Use Case Descriptions have added links to setup options, locked tables and used global variables. Each Use Case has its description with Main Success Scenario, Extensions and Variations. There is also Flow Diagram for each Use Case. You can use Animation option to better understand what happens in the process.


 
E/R diagrams

NaviToolsER diagrams are available in three versions. The LITE version includes images of diagrams. The PRO and Visio versions include diagrams in their original form which enable you to add additional tables from your database and is very customizable.

Visio version includes all table relations available in Navision. You don't get all of them when you simply reverse engineer Navision database.

Process Documentation
I have plans to continue documenting Microsoft Navision. These plans include what-it-does and how-it-does-it documentation (Use Cases, high-level UML diagrams, Process/Workflow diagrams, Commented Source Code).

I would appreciate your opinion which processes should I document first?

Would documented source code help you at your work?

Upgrade Workshop
In the past, Microsoft asked me to prepare a Navision upgrade training. I don't like those trainings where you just follow simple example. I did something different. I asked participants to bring their own databases and follow the example on them! After 3 days, more than 50% of them upgraded  their customer's database!
