Install Sana Commerce on NAV Environment

To import the Sana Commerce objects into the Microsoft Dynamics NAV administration the following steps are required:

1. Backup the standard Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects
2. Import the new Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects
3. Update the changed Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects

In order to import objects in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013/ 2015 you can use only Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment.

Step 1: Open the 'Changed Objects Overview' chapter of the Sana online help and locate the list of the standard Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects changed by Sana Commerce.

Step 2: Open the 'Object Designer' in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment and select the objects which are listed in the aforementioned chapter. Export the selected objects to a 'fob' or 'txt' file.

Step 3: Place the resulting 'fob' or 'txt' file to a reliable backup location and keep it for the whole period of using Sana Commerce.

The objects for Microsoft Dynamics NAV with Pebblestone Fashion add-on are stored in a separate folder in the 'Pfs Fashion add-on' package. If you use Microsoft Dynamics NAV with Pebblestone Fashion add-on, you should already have the 'Sana Commerce Fashion add-on' package (named 'Pfs Fashion add-on') with the separate files for Microsoft Dynamics NAV which you should use instead of the files from the Standard version.

Step 2: Open Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment, click 'Tools' and select 'Object Designer'.

Step 3: Click on 'File' and select 'Import'. Locate the 'SC_objects.fob' file in the 'Navision' folder of the Sana Commerce release package and click 'OK'. You will see a message that all objects have been examined. Click 'Yes' to import all objects. 

You will see the results of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects import procedure when it is completed.

The 'Webshop' department and all Sana Commerce functionality will be shown only when the objects are imported, if the SC ID range is added to the Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Demo/Dev) license used in the administration and the Sana Commerce functionality is enabled.

• If the standard Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects in your database have already been customized, you should manually merge these objects with the objects from the Sana Commerce package. The resulted objects will contain both your customization and Sana Commerce changes:

Step 1: Export the changed Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects to a 'txt' file using 'Object Designer' in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment.

Step 2: Merge the text file with the 'SC_Standard_objects.txt' file using a merge tool. Check the 'Microsoft Dynamics NAV Changes' chapter for an overview of the changes to the standard Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects.

Step 3: Import the resulting text file in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment.

Step 4: Click 'All' in 'Object Designer'.

Step 5: Apply filter to the 'Compiled' column (click 'View > Field Filter' or press 'F7') and enter 'No' in the filter field:

Step 6: Select all uncompiled objects and click 'Tools > Compile' (or press 'F11') to compile them.

• If the standard objects in your Microsoft Dynamics NAV database are without any customization you can use the 'Import Worksheet' window:

Step 1: Open 'Object Designer' in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment.

Step 2: Go to 'File' and select 'Import'. Locate the file 'SC_Standard_objects.fob' and click 'OK'. You will see a message that conflicts between the standard and imported objects were found.

Step 3: Click 'OK' to open the 'Import Worksheet' window.

In the 'Import Worksheet' window you will see a list of the changed objects. Make sure to select 'Replace' action for the changed objects in your administration to guarantee that the Sana Commerce changes are correctly imported.
