The Dynamics GP Blogster

Just recently I have been seeing a number of questions around Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Smartlist exports to Microsoft Office Excel not being formatted correctly - let's rephrase, the correct word to use here is "nicely". The issues usually involve leading zeroes being dropped (in some cases) and currency amounts being exported with 5 decimals and no currency symbol. Exported Payables Transactions smart list To make a one swipe statement here, this behavior IS NOT a product bug - despite the inconvenience. With the introduction of the Web Client in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013, the development team needed the ability improve the performance of Smartlist exports over the browser. To gain this dramatic improvement in performance (which is also experienced when using the rich client), exported Excel smart lists were voided of formatting. There's an undocumented Dex.ini switch that provides limited formatting to Smartlists, thus maintaining export performance:...

Just recently I was approached by a partner wanting to leverage the info in the Receivables Summary table (RM00104) to build a smart list showing sales summary by quarter. The smart list needed to display the following information: Customer Number     Year              Q1              Q2             Q3                Q4 AARONFIT0001        2013            0.00      4224.67           0.00      10277.37 AARONFIT0001        2014     21468.68          ...

Hi all! I'm back! Well, it's been a grueling 2 months for sure (since Convergence New Orleans ) that have taken me to 2 countries ( Chile and Venezuela ), and 3 states (Louisiana, Nevada, Washington) and have allowed me to rack up over 23,000 new miles on my Delta SkyMiles account. The beauty of this all is that I have gotten to share my knowledge with more than 5,000 individuals in that stretch - customers and partners - with topics ranging from Web Client , to Dexterity , to the Support Debugging Tool . As such, you have seen my blogging activity take a tumble. However, I expect to have some time to get back to a number of interesting issues I have come across so topics will also be of a broad range -- just exactly what you are used to from this your humble servant. In the meantime, here are some snapshots from some of my voyages (in no particular order): Santiago, Chile's skyline from my room at the Marriott Hotel in the Metro Area Aerial view of a...
