Microsoft Dynamics Convergence Atlanta 2011: GPUG DayONE

DayONE: April 10, 2011

Today marks the GPUG DayONE event at Microsoft Dynamics Convergence Atlanta 2011. I can tell you that the my anxiety levels are climbing, but at the same time I am very happy to be a part of this event.

I drove down to the Georgia World Congress Center and went straight to complete my registration, then walked over to the Omni Hotel to pickup David and return to the GWCC so he could complete his registration - No badges, no access!

The DayONE pre-conference event started out with Kim Peterson opening the General Session. Kim did an awesome job leading the opening and turning it over to Andy Hafer, president of GPUG.

Andy outlined the "Andy's 6-pack for success" for Convergence, which focuses on using the event for networking and building relationships in the community, all the while holding yourself and your organization accountable for achieving results.

After the Welcome General Session, we joined the UBGP21 Where do the Experts Turn for Answers? interactive session, conducted by Zubin Gidwani. Zubin did an excellent job at oulining all the great resources available in the Microsoft Dynamics GP Community as a whole, covering topics like networking, community bloggers, specialized search tools, and so forth. David and I got to chime in a bit and provide some tid bits to attendees.

However our session was back to back with Zubins and we had to leave before his was over. Our DayONE session, UBGP15 Ask the Experts: Microsoft Dynamics GP Development Tools, featured some interesting characters, below a picture of MVP Leslie Vail who is working the Hands-on labs.

After our traditional introduction, we opened up the mics for questions and began working our way through the many interesting questions we got. The questions flowed very naturally as attendees were enticed with Tim Tams - remember the stash David brought from Australia? Below is a picture of the professors.

Our session ran well into its allotted time with attendees walking away very satisfied (we hope!). If you attended our session, we highly encourage you to fill out the evaluations. This is the only way we can secure a chance to present again. Next, was the reception at Georgia Acuarium and World of Coca Cola museum. More on this in the next post.

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
