Hi Umar,
Welcome to Dynamics User Group!!!
Start reading the MS Navision Manuals,Practice more the sample database and understand the business processes.
It would be good for you to know the basics of accounting. as far as Microsoft is concerned, they have certifications.
in NAV, a negative amount is a credit to a G/L account and a positive amount is a debit to a G/L account. if you have any accounting questions, you can always ask me. [:)]
just so people know:
- assets and expenses are increased by a debit (or positive) amount.
- liabilities and equity are increased by a credit (or negative) amount.
- contra-asset accounts (for example, accumulated depreciation or allowance for bad debts) are increased by a credit (or negative) amount.
- and the reverse to do the decrease.
Also, compliments of Peter Muscat on slideshare.net, you might be able to find some training slides that could be helpful.
Here is where Microsoft’s certification info is found:

thanks amol…I read manuals and practice.do i need to have an indepth business study too as I am not much into business.
i understand the simple buy/sale/[profit/lose thing but havent studied business.will that be a problem?
Hey Umar,
It is always good to have business process knowledge to build the logic using technical skill which can make you different from technical consultant.
I would recommend to have business process knowledge
All the Best[:)]
