LN has a listener, ION, which is aware of any BOD, Business Object Document, and will present it to you for your use or allow you to make your own and submit for processing. BOD for us is an XML document and in your case is could be different. If that is true with NAV then you need to create your Invoice BOD and submit it to NAV. NAV will then process the data as an invoice and all is well. You may attempt to just create trasnactions in all tables like an invoice but I would worry about all fo the tables that NAV uses compared to your system. For our company the posting of an invoice makes all the woderful trasactions across all of our various internal companies happen. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CAJidMYJ-CRqSwMPkvsKDNDJQivh5=1zqxops2br9bja1x7-...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
