Developing for Dynamics GP Weekly Summary


After a long absence, my friend David Musgrave is slowly regaining his writing pulse. Please check out some of his cool articles this week, but first and foremost let him know what you think about them. I always encourage everyone to test and play with some of the code we provide in these articles. They are a good way to get acquainted with Microsoft Dynamics GP functionality. So let's get on with the articles:

1. Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 Service Packs, Hotfixes and Payroll Compliance/Year End Updates May Damage the Modified Reports and Forms. After a few of these errors circulating on the newsgroups, it has been confirmed by Microsoft development team. The payroll year end update will in fact damage your modified forms and reports. I have a theory on this one: since the YE update is also inclusive of service pack 3, it will be necessary to take all the precautions layed out when applying a service pack, that is, export ALL your customizations to a package file BEFORE applying any patches. Read more here.

2. Microsoft Dynamics™ GP 10.0 Bootcamp (Australia). Now, if you ever wanted to go to a Dynamics GP training class, won't it be a dream to do so in the land down under? Now, that's what I call a Dynamics GP training with style. Read more here.

3. eOne.Dynamics.GP.ExcelBuilder.Engine.dll Exception. If you have received this error after applying Microsoft Dynamics GP 10 Service Pack 2 and above and you are currently using SmartList Builder and Excel Builder, make sure you take a look at this article and the fix by reading more here.

4. Hybrid - Adding Named Printers control to Reports using VBA. Wondering how to get Named Printers to work with unsupported reports? David answers this one with a cool VBA customization. Best of all, you can download sample code! To play with this code, click here.

5. WorldMaps Tracking Added. As if my uber friend wasn't all that uber geek already, he adds a cool hits tracker on his blog with the cool WorldMaps beta product from Structure Too Big. I have to confess, I will be adding this one pretty soon to my blog! I find it fascinating to know where your readers are concentrated, which helps when developing content for the blog. For more info, click here.

6. Modifier - Reading and Writing Data with ADO Example. It does not matter how many of these we do, I always find Modifier with VBA fascinating and a very good alternative to Dexterity customizations when possible. Now, don't get me wrong. I love Dexterity, but I also love the portability offered by VBA customizations too. To read more, click here.

Until next post!

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

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

Moving on from my previous article on a similar subject - see Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'BASEUOFM' error when clicking on Items List in Navigation Pane , I recently came across this error,  Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'CONTACT' when clicking on the All Purchasing Transactions list under the Purchasing Navigation Pane option, after performing an upgrade from Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 R2. All Purchasing Transactions list error - Purchasing Navigation List The name of the global temp table - in this case, tempdb.dbo.##2093338- varies in almost all cases, but the end result of the error is the same. The issue has been identified running Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 RTM, SP1 or SP2. Upon further review, the issue is due to bad data in the Vendor ID (VENDORID) column in the Purchasing Receipt History table (POP30300). In summary, if you have a purchasing receipt with a blank vendor ID or a vendor ID that doe
