Disabling Multiple Ledgers functionality in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010...after the fact

Let's face it! Like many things in life, configuration decisions are revisited even after going live (rightfully so!) with your system. What was viewed and considered a requirement a few months aback and worked during User Acceptance Testing turns out to be something the business no longer needs today, due to changes in direction, or changes in business conditions.

Just recently, I came across a request for disabling the new reporting ledgers functionality in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010. While this implementation was not live, this issue was clearly affecting the consulting teams ability to move forward.

The following script should disable the reporting ledgers function:

UPDATE GL40000 SET Allow_Reporting_Ledgers = 0, UseLedgersForAcctBalance = 0;
DELETE FROM GL40001;

Once the script is executed, go back to the General Ledger Setup window. You will notice that a BASE ledger is created by default, but also notice that the Allow flag is unchecked.


General Ledger Setup
Click the Ok button to continue.

Now, if you open the GL Transaction Entry screen, you will notice that the Ledger ID field is no longer present.

Hope you found this post useful.

Until next post!

Mariano,

Wanted to turn off Ledgers in the test environment today, and searched KB/PS, but didnt find anything. As usual you were there to save the day!

Thanks

Mariano, I used your script to disable the reporting ledger and now the when using the Finanial-Summary and History Summary inquiries no results are returned. If I access the summary and history windows from the Account Maintenance window the summary and history summary do return results. Any ideas what would cause this? Thank you, Scott

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

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
