You can use C/Front to access MS Dynamics NAV on the database level (with support for Flow Fields etc.) MS Dynamics NAV or you can use our NAS Connector or finally you can use our MS Dynamics NAV WebServices which can be used to access any Page exposed as a WebService.
The following versions of NAV are supported for WebServices
System requirements
WebServices - you need access to run the WebServices Server in your license (fin.flf)
You might need additional Web Access or External access licenses from Microsoft - please check your license conditions for this.
Additional Installation
You need to use NTLM Authentication on the WebService Server as we only support this Authentication method at the moment.
Please open the C:\Program Files\MS Dynamics NAV\60\Service\CustomSettings.config file and set the Key "WebServicesUseNTLMAuthentication" to "true". The Key "WebServiceSSLEnabled" should be "false".
In MS Dynamics NAV you also need to expose the Pages that you want to be able to access from RapidiOnline. Start MS Dynamics NAV Role Tailored Client and navigate to Departments - Administration - IT Administration - General. Select "WebServices" under Lists. Select New and specify "Page" as Object Type, select the ID of the page you want to expose (for example 21 for Customer card or 42 for Sales Order), specify a service name (e.g. Customer or SalesOrder) and check the Published box. Press OK.
Please Note: You have to restart the "Microsoft Dynamics NAV Business Web Services" service each time you change published services.
After this you can go ahead and Read Design and start creating Transfers.
