Contract: Message - NAV Contract No. must have a value in Contract Header

Issue

The system is prompting for a Nav. Contract No. when you make a new contract in Business Central.

Resolution

Working in Business Central 'Live' or 'Prod.' (e.g. 200)

The Production companies e.g. Solutions may be configured to require data in this field as contracts are migrated from Navision to Business Central.

Expected data is the old Nav. contract number that this new Business Central contract is replacing so it can be easily referenced if required.
The field will ultimately get phased out in time when all contracts originate from within the new system & so no link back is relevant.

Steps

Enter the complete Navision contract number & not a part of it or name reference.

In the case no Navision contract number is applicable & the new contract in Business Central is unique then enter "N/A".

Working in a Business Central Test company (e.g. T200) ONLY

Whilst working in a Test company & this field has been left as mandatory for testing purposes, enter  "Test - n/a".

Remember all  the test companies in Business Central can be easily identified with a red badge in the top right hand corner prefixed with a 'T' e.g. T200, T600 etc.
