2009 Payroll Tax Update (Round 4) for Dynamics GP 8.0 Users

If you are using Great Plains 8.0 you can download the Payroll Tax Update (Round 4) file by clicking here. Keep in mind that this script was developed for version 10, but runs just fine on version 8.

I strongly encourage you to execute the script in a test environment to make sure the results are what you are aligned with your expectations. Once you've verified this, you can proceed to execute against your production environment.

NOTE: They were additional changes included in a separate installation file to update Missouri's tax code. This script does not include those changes. I am in the process of working on the new installation file and will post back with the updated tax rates for Missouri. In addition, and according to Microsoft, The msp file for I-9 and Cobra changes will be available on March 25.

Hi!
You mentioned in a newgroups posting of mine that you would be doing a post soon on using GP fields as a sort of calculator. Is this still in your plans?

Hi zgall1,

I am very committed to deliver some of the best content and samples you can possibly find on the Internet. As with everything, I have to jugg between family, work, keeping up with the blog, the Dynamics GP newsgroup, and the hundred of requests I get to address a certain topic.

I have started drafting this article and the code is in the workings. There are certain issues that I need to work out, and I will get to them eventually.

Thanks for following up and stay posted.

Best regards,

MG.-

Hello, we're getting ready to apply part 1 of the Round 4 tax updates. (We are on GP 9.0) Can you tell me how we're supposed to know when these updates are available? I thought that if your PC was connected to the internet, that it would prompt our payroll person when tax updates are available. Somehow, though, it didn't do that for rounds 2 or 3 this year, but it did for round 4. Is this a setting we may have accidentally changed? Also, can you tell me for sure that we're ok to do part 1 of the updates separate than part 2 (the part that makes code changes) so long as we don't have the Missouri issue? We need more time to test before we roll part 2, and I want to be 100% sure this is ok. Thanks for your helpful blog!

Hi Mariano,
I tried to run the script. I noticed that the DB I have does not have all the tables you're updating in the script.
Actually it only has the table UPR41301.
Is that correct?
Thanks!

Anonymous,

Unfortunately, there is no automated payroll tax update detection feature built into GP. I concur with you, it would be fantastic if this could work similar to the Windows Update process, but this is not the case...yet. The only way to stay in tune with these updates is by visiting CustomerSource and/or PartnerSource as often as possible, or to pay attention to the CSPAN.

Hope this helps,

Jose,

The payroll tax tables are a part of the DYNAMICS database, not the company database. You must execute the query against the former.

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...
