Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Airlift 2012: Wrap Up

Well, I have to say that the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Airlift 2012 was a personal success in many ways:

  • First and foremost, I was able to reconnect with a number of friends in the channel, for whom I have tremendous personal and professional respect. As usual, I thank all of you for your kind words of encouragement and continuous support for the work I have been doing over the years in the Microsoft Dynamics GP community.

  • While strange, this was the first time in almost 4 years on the conference circuit I was presenting without my good friend and mentor, David Musgrave. To him and to all the Microsoft, GPUG, and GPPC staff, a big THANK YOU! for believing and trusting me with such enormous responsibility. I hope I made you all proud.

  • I had a unique opportunity to view, firsthand, all the exciting technologies and enhancements to the Microsoft Dynamics GP product. In GP 2013 and the Web Client we certainly have a winner - the immediate future, certainly seems very promising: long live Microsoft Dynamics GP and long live Microsoft Dexterity!

Now to the stuff that you've been waiting for...

Over the past week, I have created a number of post following the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Airlift 2012 event. Here is a compilation of those posts:

Finally, please find all presentation materials for the sessions I presented at the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Airlift 2012, on the Learning Resources page of this blog (soon to be uploaded). I will make sure that all the code I introduced is GP 2013 and Visual Studio 2012 compatible (I presented with Visual Studio 2010 at the Airlift).


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...
