Microsoft Dynamics Convergence Atlanta 2011: Wrap up


Well, another year, another Microsoft Dynamics Convergence, my birthday is past, and David is now home. It's amazing to think just a few days aback David and I were hosting a GPUG session and presenting 2 topics over 3 days, and all the work that went in to making our sessions a success - thanks to all of you who attended!

As is customary, this post will provide a summary of (most) links where you can find information on Convergence just in case you were not able to attend the event or miss any of the previous posts. So let's get started:

The good thing is, most of the blogging community was present at Convergence and had an opportunity to capture some of their experiences too:

Belinda, The GP CSI (Belinda Allen)

DynamicAccounting.net (MVP Mark Polino)

The Dynamics Confessor (MVP Leslie Vail)

Dynamics GP Land (Christina Phillips & Steve Endow)

gp2themax (MVP Frank Hamelly)

The Virtual Convergence site is up and you can now relive and download the presentations you attended.  I know I did not attend a lot of the sessions that I would have liked to attend, so I will spend a few days going through these.



Finally, there are a few things at Convergence you just don't do, dancing being one of them - see Dwight Specht's post, Don't dance at Convergence for clear examples as to why this is a bad idea. However, I have to say that my cohorst David Musgrave has the moves. Thanks to MVP Leslie Vail and Sheila Jefferson-Ross we now get a window into David's abilities. This video should be going viral pretty soon.







See you all at Microsoft Dynamics Convergence Houston 2012!

Until next post!

DBMS: 12 Microsoft Dynamics GP: 0 error when updating to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2

Image
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...

Do I have to use those "Z-" currency IDs in GP?

Image
I know this seems like a trivia question, but recently I have come across a number of clients who have been using Microsoft Dynamics GP for a number of years and have been told by their former partners that they *must* use the predefined currency IDs created after adding the sample company, with no real explanation to support these claims. Case in point, my new client in Saudi Arabia, has been struggling for years to understand why they were told to prefix all currency IDs with the "Z-". So they went ahead and setup "Z-SR" for the Saudi Real. If you are familiar with Microsoft Dynamics GP and the sample company, Fabrikam, you may have noticed by now that after adding the sample company (which is not a requirement by any means), you will get a number of predefined currencies such as Z-US$ (US Dollars), Z-UK (British Pounds), Z-C$ (Canadian Dollars), Z-AUD (Australian Dollars), and so forth, accompanied by a number of exchange rate tables. If you are not familiar wi...

Microsoft Dynamics GP Scrolling Windows and Line Sequence Numbers

Image
I thought I would write about something meaningless that no one really thinks about. However, I realized that this is a compelling topic since it makes for some interesting discussion around the ability to insert line items withinin most transaction scrolling windows. Let’s take some time to understand where Line Sequence Numbers come from. A Line Sequence Number is auto generated by Dynamics GP and uses a seed value of 16,384 as a basis for the first line. Each subsequent line in the scrolling window is incremented by this number, so line number 2 would have a Line Sequence Number value of 32,768, line number 3 would have Line Sequence Number Value of 49,152, and so on. Since most GP transaction entry scrolling windows allow inserting rows in between line items, the newly inserted Line Sequence Number value is calculated as an average between the previous and the next line item sequences, i.e., if you were to insert an item in between row 1 and row 2 in the scrolling window -- keep in...
