Upgrade to NAV 2018

Hello Friends,

As Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 released,
I am getting questions how many steps do we need to upgrade (Data migration & Object Merge) to NAV 2018.

This article just lists down No. of steps required to upgrade From Current Version 3.7 onward.

Below is the list of No. of Steps required if you plan to Upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018.

From Version	To Version	No. of Steps
NAV 3.7	NAV 2018	3
NAV 4.3	NAV 2018	3
NAV 5.0 / 5.1	NAV 2018	2
NAV 6.0 / 6.1 / 6.2	NAV 2018	2
NAV 2013 / 2013 R2 / 2015 / 2016 / 2017	NAV 2018	1

Wondering why these steps, below are the details of the no. of steps -

From Version	To Version	Step
NAV 3.7 /4.3	NAV 6.0 / 6.1 / 6.2	1
NAV 5.0 / 5.1	NAV 6.0 / 6.1 / 6.2 (No Upgrade Step)	0
NAV 6.0 / 6.1 / 6.2	NAV 2013 / 2013 R2 / 2015 / 2016 / 2017	2
NAV 2013 / 2013 R2 / 2015 / 2016 / 2017	NAV 2018	3

** If you are coming from 3.7 / 4.3 there may be so many functionalities that are either discontinued or re-engineered. So be ready for changes in system processes.
