Microsoft Business Solutions products and Microsoft Office are increasingly integrated. Using web services, it is possible to invoke Navision business processes while working in the Microsoft Office product. In the following example:
• You can create a letter template in Microsoft Word to remind a customer that he reached his credit limit in Navision
• You can retrieve from Microsoft Word (without opening Navision) the customer’s details to fill the letter template automatically (Address, Contact Names…)
• You can block the customer from Microsoft Word (without opening Navision), so no additional sales orders can be created in Navision without approval
The demo contains 3 steps:
• Configuring a Navision Application Server to access Navision
• Creating a web service in Visual Studio 2005
• Calling the web service from Microsoft Word (Customer Credit Limit.doc embedded)
