Microsoft Dynamics Convergence Atlanta 2011: Day -4

Day -4: April 6, 2011

Yes folks! It's that time of the year again! Convergence is only 4 days away and everyone is firing on all cylinders, getting last minute preparations done, making sure all speaches are fine-tuned, all presentations good to go... in sum, making sure all T-s are crossed and all I-s are dotted.

And your Dynamic Duo is no different... after spending half of my Spring break in Florida, I was rushed to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airport (FLL) in the morning to catch a flight back to Atlanta's Hartfield-Jackson International (ATL) to meet with David, who would be arriving from Perth, Australia (via Sydney and Los Angeles) at 3:00 PM EDT. My flight landed 3 hours before his, so I decided to take the train home and drop off my luggage then head back to the airport in my car to pick him up. I got to the airport 2 minutes before David texted me he'd just landed! Perfect timing. I waited for a bit in the baggage claim area as he cleared customs, and there he was.

 As you already know, his flight time from Perth to Atlanta is a mere 29 hours. It showed this time! David was exhausted and look like he could use a bed. Upon retrieving his bag, off we went to my house. The drive was uneventful and we were able to avoid the infamous Atlanta rush hour traffic.

Before getting to my house, I convinced David to stop at Starbucks for a coffee - mind you, he does not drink coffee either. He decided to give the barista a hard time by requesting a plain banana smoothie. That's right, no Banana Vivanno for David! The folks at my local Starbucks are very easy going and decided, after warning David that they have never ever been requested to make a plain banana smoothie, that they would give it a try. Well, the results speak for themselves.

Once we were finished, off we went to my house where we would find ourselves fighting a closet full of bed spreads and pillow cases to get a set that would fit my guestroom bed - folks, to be honest, I never visit that closet! The whole ordeal (fitting the bed) took some 30 minutes, ending with me reorganizing the entire closet of spreads. But then came one of the highlights of the evening: David's stash of smuggled goodies from Australia.

Smuggled goodies: Tim Tam double coat, Tim Tam dark, Tim Tam original, Chicos, Vegemite, Cheesybite, and Tantrix
As you can tell, I get the privilege of picking and choosing from the stash before anyone else! So 1 pack of Tim Tams coated, 1 pack of Tim Tams dark, 2 packs of Chicos, the Vegemite, the Cheesybite, and the Tantrix game are now all off the market for Convergence... mwahahahaha!

It was time for dinner! I went to our local supermarket and grabbed a few good steak cuts, asparagus, fingerling potatoes, and complemented with some corn. Grilling turned out to be very relaxing and food was ready in less than one hour. After cleaning up it was time to sleep. Tomorrow, our prep time begins, so it will be another fun day.

Until next post!

Why my transactions don't post through GL even when I have the flag selected?

Image
Are you tired of asking why is it that some transactions do post through GL and why some don't? Tired of changing the posting settings to no avail? This issue outta be one of the most confusing issues for users and consultants, new or seasoned alike. If you ever struggle with one issue in GP, please tell me it's this one, because even today, I cannot claim victory over this subject. So let's walk the walk together. What the theory says? According to Part 3, Chapter 13, page 87 of the Microsoft Dynamics GP's System Setup guide, " If you mark the Post Through General Ledger Files option, batches posted in other modules automatically will update the module in which the transactions originated and the appropriate posting accounts in General Ledger. Your transactions will post to General Ledger and not through General Ledger when posting transaction individually (without a batch). " Now lets break it down... It's important to really pay close attention to the t...

A .NET Framework error occurred during the execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "GetAssignedUsers"

Image
So, I found myself helping a client to troubleshoot a workflow issue. After configuring workflow a few weeks aback and running a few tests without any issues, we applied Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 January 2016 Hotfix. Now, when the client went to execute the workflow, he received the corresponding email indicating there was a purchase order to approve. He then proceeded to click the Approve hyperlink and the process continued as expected. After clicking the Approve button, the client receive the following error message: The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details The following shows the error as displayed on the client's screen. At this point, it is worth stating that the workflow ran to completion and the PO appeared completely approved and fine in Dynamics GP, so whatever was causing this error did not seem to interrupt the approval flow. As good troubleshooters, we went to the Event Viewer to check for addi...
