Microsoft Dynamics Convergence Atlanta 2011: General Reception

Day 1: April 10, 2011

After spending time with attendees answering questions at our GPUG DayONE session, UBGP15 Ask the Experts: Microsoft Dynamics GP Development Tools, it was now time to go have some fun and comingle with the crowd attending this year's Convergence.

I had the chance to catch up with my fellow IntellPartners cohorst and exchange impressions from the event. In addition, it was just time to sit down, have a beer, and really enjoy the beautiful evening.

The venue couldn't be anymore original. Microsoft chose to host the opening reception at the Georgia Aquarium - the world largest aquarium - and World of Coca Cola museum, two of the most recognizable landmarks in the Atlanta Metro area.

 It was also time to catch up with the newest addition to the Microsoft Dynamics GP blogging community, fellow blogger Yulia Smotrova with MIG & Co. in New York City.

We decided to head over to the World of Coca Cola museum to get our sugar fix by drinking some 60 different Coca Cola flavors and products bottled and sold around the world, not without stopping for some pictures with the widely recognizable Coca Cola polar bear.

On our way up to the sampling area, David decided to showcase his dancing - as in break dancing - abilities. I have to say, I was pretty impressed (and embarrased at the same time as it made feel old once again!)

Unfortunately, I had to cut the night short as I had a drive to make back home and frankly, was already very tired - please disregard the "feeling old" remark.

The following day would begin with the Convergence Keynote speach featuring Microsoft's CEO Steve Balmer and Corporate VP, Kirill Tatarinov.

Until next post!

Hi Mariano,
I see that you had a lot of FUN @ the Convergence Reception :-) . Fortunately the weather seems to have been much better than last year were we had to back inside... All the best luck for your presentations this week.

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
