How does Microsoft Dynamics GP determine which account to use when sending emails

Image
One of the advantages of working with Microsoft Outlook is its ability to configure multiple email accounts.  Recently, a partner was working with a customer that supports multiple companies, so a such, each employee has an email account per company supported. The partner was under the impression that Microsoft Dynamics GP "looked" at the mailbox for the email account opened at the time of sending an email, but came to the conclusion it wasn't the case as the customer could not get emails sent through a second email account. So how does Microsoft Dynamics GP determine which email account to use when sending emails via Microsoft Outlook? The mailbox information is determined based on the default email account configured in Microsoft Outlook. To check for the default email account in Microsoft Outlook, follow one of the following two procedures: Method 1: Control Panel 1. Open the Control Panel 2. Double-click on User Account and Family Safety 3. ...

How to do a "Save As" in SmartList Builder

Image
Ever wish you could do a "Save As" in SmartList Builder? Have you been working on a very complex SmartList and got to a point where things are working and now you need to make additional changes and you don't want to mess up the work you have done so far? Just recently, I came across a request for being able to save a SmartList Builder smartlist under a different name - hence the "Save As" title. However, as you know SmartList Builder does not offer the ability to perform such operation out of the box. So here are some steps for you to do a "Save As" with Smartlist Builder: 1. Open SLB's Export Lists window and click on the list you would like to duplicate. MSDGP | Tools | SmartList Builder | Export Export Lists window Enter or identify a path and file name for the list to be exported. Click the Export button when finished. 2. Edit the exported XML file with a text editor, for example Notepad. Search and replace all occurrences of the ...

Image
It's not uncommon to find system administrators and consultants alike struggling to deploy Microsoft Dynamics GP SRS reports in an environment, while trying to keep these reports secured. I find that the main issue revolves around understanding the different moving parts: domain accounts, GP user logins, the SQL Server database roles created for reporting, the reports web site security, the reports folder security and the list goes on. So here is a list of resources that I believe will help with this: The best place to start is the SQL Server Reporting Services Guide, which has all of the information for installing, deploying and setting up security for SRS reports to use with Dynamics GP. This guide is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center. Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Guide: SQL Server Reporting Services In order for users to access SRS reports (default) for Dynamics GP, they need to have the following permissions: 1. Access to the Reporting Services w...
