But first i would like to take this opportunity to welcome back our team from the Dynamics NAV boot camp held in Nairobi Kenya (28th Nov- 01 Dec 2017). Thank you to our partners and teams for the wonderful work done.
According to Dynamics community, the following are the new features in Dynamics NAV 2018
Ceridian payroll
You can now import payroll transaction files from Ceridian HR/Payroll in US and Ceridian Powerpay in CA by installing the Ceridian Payroll extension.
Aggregated payroll data, including date, payroll account, description, and amount, will be imported to your G/L accounts according to mappings that you perform once per payroll account.
The extension also contains a sample payroll file that you can use to try out the functionality, for example, in a demo company.
Quickbooks File Import
You can now import payroll transaction files in the Quickbooks IIF format by installing the Quickbooks Payroll File Import extension. Aggregated payroll data, including date, payroll account, description, and amount, will be imported to your G/L accounts according to mappings that you perform once per payroll account. The extension also contains a sample payroll file that you can use to try out the functionality, for example, in a demo company.
Integration API
To empower developers and service providers to easily integrate with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, we are adding a REST API based on web services with easy-to-use authentication.
The entities in the API can be used on their own or in combination with extensions when there is a need to add user interface elements or business logic Dynamics NAV.
The first iteration of the API publishes common record types, including company information, customer, vendor, employee, item (product), sales order, sales invoice, account, and journal.
Synchronize Vendors with Lexmark ICS
You can now take advantage of vendor synchronization when using Lexmark ICS. This will improve the vendor recognition rate in the Lexmark ICS and allow manual selection of vendors when performing visual training of new invoice layouts.
Vendor information including number, name, address, VAT registration, phone, and bank account data is transferred to Lexmark ICS when synchronizing.

Full CRM Synchronization can be run in background
Dynamics CRM Connection Setup guide
The Dynamics CRM Connection Setup guide now includes coupling of salespersons to CRM users as this is a prerequisite for any synchronization of data between Dynamics CRM and Financials.
The guide now allows you to run full synchronization when the CRM connection has been set up. The synchronization runs in the background so that the user can continue working.
Dynamics CRM Connection Setup window
From the CRM Connection Setup window, you can open the Integration Synchronization Jobs window to check the progress of current synchronizations and to see detailed information about the number of records in Financials and the number of records in the connected Dynamics CRM solution.
Record coupling between Financials and Dynamics CRM
When coupling records between Financials and Dynamics CRM, the list of CRM records is filtered using integration table filters. This allows you to see and couple only records that are eligible for synchronization.
If you disable the Dynamics CRM integration, all integration synchronization jobs are now disabled.
Analyzing Financial Statements in Microsoft Excel
In the Business Manager and Accountant Role Centers, you can choose which financial statements to view in Excel from a drop-down menu in the Reports section of the ribbon. When you choose a statement, it will be opened in Excel or Excel Online. An add-in connects the data to Financials.
In the ribbon, choose the relevant Excel report, and let it open so you can get the overview that you were looking for. In this version, we offer the following Excel reports:
- Balance Sheet
- Income Statement
- Cash Flow Statement
- Retained Earnings Statement
- Aged Accounts Payable
- Aged Accounts Receivable
Retrieve customer, vendor and contact name and address from VAT Registration Number [UK only]
You can validate the VAT registration number of new customers, vendors, and contacts against the EC VAT VIES web service and get the name and address details from the web service response.
Submission of EC Sales List with more than 9999 lines
You can now submit EC Sales List Report with more than 9999 lines. All you need to do is set threshold on number of lines in VAT Report Configuration for EC Sales List report in Maximum number of lines field to 9999 and we've got you covered. When you submit such large EC Sales List report we'll generate a number of messages and send them to Government Gateway. You can see results of submission in Log Entries.
