Add-on Upgrade to Extensions in Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Using allows you to put modifications in your live environment without Extensions modifying your core NAV system








Professional Dynamics NAV Extensions Development Services

With the release of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 and Dynamics 365 for Financials, the big attention in the Dynamics NAV development community turned to the development function, which is called Dynamics NAV Extensions. Using Extensions allows you to put modifications in your live environment without modifying your core NAV system.

Dynamics NAV Add-on upgrade to extensions has become much more relevant with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 version and Extensions 2.0. If you choose Simplanova services to upgrade your Add-on to Extensions, we will move Dynamics NAV code customization to events and redesign the code for the successful migration from Add-on to Extensions.

Instead of defining customizations in the original Dynamics NAV source code, Extensions are written alongside the solution source, where the integration with the source is handled with  NAV Events. When code customization with a help of Events is upgraded to Dynamics NAV Extensions it allows to upgrade the underlying solution and, as long as the events remain, the extension will behave in the same way from version to version..
