Suppressing "Credit Limit" Warning in Sales Order Processing

A few days aback, I was asked how to keep the "This transaction exceeds the customer's credit limit" message box from popping up when entering a Sales Order. At first I thought it was a strange request, since the warning serves its purpose, but then the user explained that they had their own credit management system which takes into consideration a lot more information that GP does not manage beyond the aging buckets and the limit itself. In addition, they already had a customization in place to check the customer's credit limit against their credit system and automatically set the order on hold if limit was exceeded. In summary, the message was an inconvenience since it appeared each time a line item was entered.
















To resolve this issue, I created a small VBA script that would automatically respond to the modal dialog without the user even noticing a blink on the screen, as follows:

1) Add the Sales Transaction Entry window to Visual Basic.

2) Open the Visual Basic Editor and locate the SalesTransactionEntry (Window) object. Double-click on it to bring up the editor.

3) Copy/paste the following script to the editor


Private Sub Window_BeforeModalDialog(ByVal DlgType As DialogType, PromptString As String, Control1String As String, Control2String As String, Control3String As String, Answer As DialogCtrl)

  If PromptString = "This transaction exceeds the customer's credit limit. Do you want to continue?" Then

    'Click the first button, the Continue button
    Answer = dcButton1
  End If
End Sub


Until next post!

I thought this would have to be turned on to a specific User Class ID in Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports but it seems to be available to all. Is there a way to limit this change to one User Class?

@Olvey,
Not sure what you mean by "pending PO is active". However, have a look at Business Alerts. This should help you with what you are trying to achieve.

DBMS: 12 Microsoft Dynamics GP: 0 error when updating to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2

Image
Hello all! It's been quite a while since I've actually written anything of remote interest to anyone who follows my blog, but at the same time, you will be pleased to know that I've been quite busy in the consulting front, with upgrades, server migrations, complex multi-instance postings involving 10's of thousands of transactions, wrapping up some Field Service Automation projects, and the list goes on and on. This time around I want to bring to the forefront, an issue I encountered updating  from Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 SP2 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 plus the latest service pack. Background My client requested a server migration to a new environment where they wanted to deploy Dynamics GP 2013 R2 web client (plus the latest service pack) and upgrade their relational database management system to Microsoft SQL Server 2014. This is something I'm absolutely comfortable with (for the most part) given also that my client was sitting at Microsoft Dynamics...

Do I have to use those "Z-" currency IDs in GP?

Image
I know this seems like a trivia question, but recently I have come across a number of clients who have been using Microsoft Dynamics GP for a number of years and have been told by their former partners that they *must* use the predefined currency IDs created after adding the sample company, with no real explanation to support these claims. Case in point, my new client in Saudi Arabia, has been struggling for years to understand why they were told to prefix all currency IDs with the "Z-". So they went ahead and setup "Z-SR" for the Saudi Real. If you are familiar with Microsoft Dynamics GP and the sample company, Fabrikam, you may have noticed by now that after adding the sample company (which is not a requirement by any means), you will get a number of predefined currencies such as Z-US$ (US Dollars), Z-UK (British Pounds), Z-C$ (Canadian Dollars), Z-AUD (Australian Dollars), and so forth, accompanied by a number of exchange rate tables. If you are not familiar wi...

Microsoft Dynamics GP Scrolling Windows and Line Sequence Numbers

Image
I thought I would write about something meaningless that no one really thinks about. However, I realized that this is a compelling topic since it makes for some interesting discussion around the ability to insert line items withinin most transaction scrolling windows. Let’s take some time to understand where Line Sequence Numbers come from. A Line Sequence Number is auto generated by Dynamics GP and uses a seed value of 16,384 as a basis for the first line. Each subsequent line in the scrolling window is incremented by this number, so line number 2 would have a Line Sequence Number value of 32,768, line number 3 would have Line Sequence Number Value of 49,152, and so on. Since most GP transaction entry scrolling windows allow inserting rows in between line items, the newly inserted Line Sequence Number value is calculated as an average between the previous and the next line item sequences, i.e., if you were to insert an item in between row 1 and row 2 in the scrolling window -- keep in...
