Is this the first time you’re going to use the time sheets, or have you previously been able to create time sheets?
If you have never been able to create time sheets, then are you sure that you have been setting up the resources who are supposed to use time sheets? You need to need to both click yes to “Use Time Sheets” assign the “Time Sheet User ID” and the “Time Sheet Approver User ID”.
If you have been doing it before, then you need to check that the time sheets where not created previously.
Where I found this information? I think I had the same error as you the first time I tried, and then I just used the help text, which explains what to do.
If you have downloaded the French database, then you will have it both in French and in English. If you click on the logo in the upper left corner, then you will see the Select Server and Select Company, but also the Select Language function. Here you’re able to change the application and database language to US-English. If that was what you were looking for.
You should have ENU and en-US, but also a FRA and fr-FR. If you already have it here, then you should also check if the NAV server has these two extra folders. The NAV server is installed on your server in:
Without these folders you will not be able to change the language to French. The above will change the system language of NAV.
If you’re able to change all the system menus (like the “Select Language”) but the page names and fields are still in English, then it might be that you’re not even using the French database. This you can check in the system menu under Help->About Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Here it will say exactly what version and language the database is, e.g. my message says “Version GB Dynamics NAV 7.0”.
Installing NAV can be done in two ways. Either using the SETUP.EXE options, which installs everything what is needed, e.g. a full demo or just the clients. Or it can be installed by installing each component separately (using MSI files). If this option was used, then it’s also required to install the localizations located in the INSTALLER folder on the product dvd. My guess is that your installation was not done using the SETUP.EXE.
