GPUG Summit 2012 Seattle - Wrap Up!

With another Summit behind us, it's just fitting that I close this one out with some remarks about the event, and as it is customary, with all links I could find from people talking about it.

This is indeed my second GPUG Summit as a presenter and I have to say, this event is growing very fast in popularity, with over 550 users, partners, and ISVs from the Microsoft Dynamics GP world. It's also good to note that over 2,000 participants attended on behalf of all the user groups (AXUG, NAVUG, CRMUG, and of course, GPUG). What also shocked me was the total number of sessions: over 150! Sessions were as diverse as anyone could imagine: from Social Media, to Excel, to Reporting Services, to Business Intelligence, to myriad of sessions on tips (50 tips, 100 tips, 150 product tips, etc., etc.) , Microsoft Dynamics GP functionality, and the upcoming Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013. No, it doesn't end there either. Attendees got an up close and personal view of the web client, Business Analyzer on Windows 8 and quite a mouthful of GP 2013 features.

No, not quite of Convergence proportions, but certainly a very familiar feeling to the entire event. You see, there's no corridor or isle you can walk without running into someone you know, someone asking you "how's your event going?", or heck, someone inviting you out for a drink or dinner! In addition, this is the only conference where there is no short of presenters willing to pick up a session for another one on a moment's notice. End-users also get to interact with presenters and subject matter experts on a one-on-one basis, more so than they would at Convergence.

The venue? No slouch here either. The Washington State Convention Center and The Conference Center proved just as worthy as any other venue I have been to. The difference? The proximity of the session rooms made the experience even more enjoyable for attendees.

GPUG Summit 2013 will be held in the beautiful city of Tampa, Florida and you can bet that Kim Peterson and Andy Hafer are probably a step away from wrapping up the details on this. Those two work just as hard as anyone else in this industry to make things happen for the user community.

With that said, here is the Summit from various perspectives:

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

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'CONTACT' error when clicking on Items List in Navigation Pane

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
