Troubleshooting the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client - Wrap Up

Series Wrap Up

It's been a couple of exciting weeks reviewing the position, procedures, and tools available for troubleshooting the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client and I hope that you walked away with an idea of where to turn and what it takes to resolve your issues.

Troubleshooting may not be glamorous or exciting and frankly a lot of folks down right don't like it, but I personally find it to be a challenge. I like when stuff breaks - figuratively speaking - knowing that you (and a handful of others) are the only one capable of fixing it. Also, it is awesome when you can showcase your Angus MacGyver (yes, his first name was Angus!) ingenuity by using resources and tools that have been in the public domain for a while, "common knowledge" if you will, and can now be applied in the context of GP.

I want to synthetize the series by providing a link to all the articles covered, below:

Part 1: Microsoft Dynamics GP Support Team's Posture
Part 2: Resolving Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client Implementation Issues
Part 3: Resolving Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client Functional Issues
Part 4: Tools for Troubleshooting Web Client issues: the Web Client Diagnostic tool
Part 5: Tools for Troubleshooting Web Client issues: Fiddler
Part 6: Tools for Troubleshooting Web Client issues: Other Tools
Part 7: Tools for Troubleshooting Web Client issues: Command Line Tools

Well, I am preparing for a new series of articles, but in the mean time stay tuned.

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...
