What is a point to post this "helpful" how-to?
Each NAV developer knows how to do it. It's task for beginners.

So you are saying that How To's for beginners should not be posted. Don't you forget you were once a beginner also.

Ok. In this case let's post "how-to" for... EVERYTHING...

Posting of exact "code" as "how-to" has a big danger. Most of "beginners" will think it's a "the only holy way" to do something and will stop to think and invent and to have own opinion.

I never implemented this but like the howto, thx.

I always say it's not possible and can think of some pitfalls if the customer starts using it. Am i correct?

You're quite extraordinary man! :) Seriously!
Most of "consultants" I know will tell "ofcoz it's possible!" before asking developer or anybody else with NAV knowledge. :D

PS: Of cause everything is possible in NAV, but...
1. Sometimes it's stupid
2. Sometimes it doesn't worth spent resources

One thing I might add to this add-on (if it hasn't been mentioned already) is that don't just download the objects and import it into your database. You will need a developer license in order to put this mod in.

ehhh (I almost don't dare to ask),
Just some beginners questions:
- Where are Job Ledger Entries created?
- What version is it made for?
Since 5.0 a Job has a Task and Planning Lines. I don't see anything with that.
(I must admit I did not try the code yet).

Hi,

I love this code. I'm just sorry that mibuso didn't exist when I started to "adapt" NAV.

But going back to the topic - your how-to is not complete. You forgot to mention these:
- you need to include table 5110
- you need to change OptionString and OptionCaption of field Type on forms 54,55,97,98,5165,5168,6641 and include Resource otherwise it will not show in these forms
- what about Requisition Lines and changes to Calculate Plan batch job?
- what about using Resource Costs?
- what about adding Purchase option also to Res. Journal Line?

These are all things that you have to consider before enabling purchase of resources.

Greetings,
Zoran
