GPUG Summit 2012 Seattle - Day 3

Day 3 marks the end of GPUG Summit 2012 Seattle. However, this day would go out with a bang and still tons of sessions left.

Kim Peterson, Michelle Spitzer, David Eichner
Next up was the "Ask the Experts" town hall session, where I had a chance to be on stage with fellow Microsoft Dynamics GP MVPs and last Summit's GPUG All-Stars Bob McAdam, MVP John Lowther, and Zubin Gidwani.

Somehow, the GPUG organization saw fitting that me and my fellow colleagues on stage wear these propeller head caps. I must say, we did look the part. After some introductions, some fun on stage, and the cap fitting, the questions began to poor in from the attendees and we had a wonderful time taking on some challenging ones.

It was now time to wrap up the circus and poor Michelle Spitzer was left to pick up the pieces. Here she is wrapping up one of the GPUG banners.

Up next was my last session at the Summit, GEN05 Where Should You Turn for Answers: The Power of Social Media. This session would be delivered with my friend Jon Rivers (twitter: @jon_rivers) from Data Masons. Jon and I had a blast with this topic and were able to offer Jon's eBook for free to those attending our session.

It was time to head over to the Grand Hyatt to pick up my luggage and sail to the airport. I had a tight 55 minutes before my flight departure. Unfortunately, I could not stay for the rest of the day and missed the closing session. I will not bore you with the details of my return home, but my trip started with a pleasant ride with Lou Spevack, and would take me from SEA-TAC to MSP and from MSP to ATL. The trip from SEA-TAC to MSP was uneventful, with just a couple rough patches of air here and there. Upon landing in MSP at gate G21, I had to find my way to gate G2. I came across a 4-year old at my departure gate in MSP who wanted to step on my toes for fun. I must say, I was completely wiped out from this event and spent most of the time sleeping on my trip from SEA-TAC to MSP.

The flight to ATL was very pleasant.

As customary, please wait for my wrap up post and, if you attended, hope you had a great Summit. Safe travels home.

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
