Welcome MVP Jivtesh Singh!

I'll start this post by saying... it was just about darn time!

My good friend Jivtesh Singh has been working tirelessly for the Microsoft Dynamics GP community worldwide and I don't think he often gets too much credit for it. I came in touch with Jivtesh probably around April of 2,009 when he approached me on the subject of becoming an MVP. Back then I remember telling him there was no quick way or magic formula to become an MVP, but rather to begin working with and for the Microsoft Dynamics GP community of users and partners to provide sound solutions to their problems. And so he set off to do.

In August of 2,010 and after a lot of back and forth between Jivtesh, David, and I, GPWindow was born - see Jivtesh Singh dissects the Microsoft Dynamics GP Community for more information. GPWindow has become the de facto destination for everything Microsoft Dynamics GP: articles, blogs, development tips, customizations, sample code, and the likes of thousands of other little Microsoft Dynamics GP secrets provided by experts and bloggers, all categorized like a big online library at your fingertips.

Later on, Jivtesh released the first online search tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP windows and forms. Simply put, you begin to type some window name (complete or partial) and GP window will narrow down the navigation path to that window - once again, online, from your browser!

Jivtesh also has his own blog, About Dynamics, Development, and Life which he also keep up with. For all these accomplishments, Jivtesh deserves the MVP award. Keep up the good work!

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...
