Hints on Navigating on an Item Ledger Entry in Microsoft Dynamics NAV
I frequently use the Dynamics NAV Navigate tool and Microsoft Excel to verify Item Ledger Entry postings to the General Ledger. When Navigating on an Item Ledger Entry that involves both a purchase receipt and a purchase invoice, you must do two Navigations to see all of the General Ledger postings.
I start my scenario by creating a Purchase Order for a Bike Frame.

I then receive and invoice the Purchase Order in separate transactions that create a single Item Ledger entry of REC0014.

Now, if I Navigate on the Item Ledger Entry Document and show the General Ledger Entries, I only see the Receiving side of the postings.

To see all of the General Ledger Entries, I need to drill down to the Value entries for the Item Ledger Entry. I now see that there are two Document Numbers that I need to Navigate to.

Now, when I take all of the General Ledger Entries to Excel and create a Pivot Table, I can see that the Postings to the General Ledger are correct.
