Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Conference 2011 - Day 1 Presentation

After a morning fill with excitement at the Opening Session, where Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 R2 was presented to all partners in attendance, you could only walk out of the session all pumped up. However, it was time for some lunch -- "no MSG and buddies", according to David.

This excitement carried David and I, right into our 2:45 PM CST presentation. Up was our Support Debugging Tool session. Everything went very well despite the computer problems (read David's post for the full scoop) we had in the previous days. We had a great time presenting the session and partners overall expressed the increased adoption of Support Debugging Tool by customers and even themselves.

We then took a ride after the Conference day was over back to the hotel. Interestingly enough, Leslie still believed she was enjoying a nice summer day in Dallas as she did not bring any layers with her, but being the gentlemen we are (ehem!), I gave her my gloves, David gave her his hat, and Beat provided the scarves (yes, he goes along with 2 of them!) for additional comfort.

Once at the hotel, we regrouped in the lobby to go for dinner at Grizzly's Grill, a restaurant located at the entrance of the West Acres mall. The group decided to walk, which perhaps, has been one of the worst decisions I have made since arriving in town. The temperature? A whopping -7F (without the wind chill factor, which surely made it feel close to -17F).  When we arrived at the mall (through the JC Penney's entrance, the closest to the Ramada's lobby) we all felt the numbness in our faces. I personally had my sinuses completely cleared up!

Night went well and dinner was very pleasant, with lots of conversations and topics circulating around the table.

Dinner was over and we were back at the hotel with rides offered by Terry Blazer and Sheila Ochoa. The temperature had dipped a few degrees more, but the winds had died down, however, I could not pass on the offer.

At the hotel, David and I had to do some code fine tuning on his machine to ensure that our Visual Studio Tools demo would work for our presentation next day -- up first at 8:30 AM CST. Poor David felt asleep while I was transferring the code and making the adjustments. After all, we have been running on little sleep since we got 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
