Configure the customer licence in Dynamics NAV

This article describes how you from Voice can assign object numbers to custom objects for Microsoft Dynamics NAV

​Overview

This article describes how you from Voice can assign, remove, or re-assign object numbers for custom objects for Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

Assignment, removal or re-assignment of custom area objects are done from Manage Custom Area Objects in Voice.

When objects have been assigned, removed or re-assigned, the system will immediately update the customer’s license to reflect the changes and you can download the updated license so that your customer immediately can make use of the changes.

Note: You cannot remove or re-assign object numbers for objects that are included in design granules like Table Designer, Form & Page Designer, etc. These objects are automatically assigned objects numbers beginning with 50000.
