Sounds like your new server has a different collation from what your old one had. If that is the case, while GP seems to be working, this could be causing additional problems besides what you’re seeing in Utilities and it should most definitely be addressed.

As to how to fix it… This is not something I typically work with, so I would recommend talking to Dynamics GP support to make sure that this is done properly.

Here I check collation name of GP DB=SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CI_AS

But my new server master db collation name is different, i didn’t find the same collation of GP DB.

How can i run my GP utilities .

Thanks for your kind words. I have not worked with HR integration, however, you might want to talk to eOne – perhaps their SmartConnect product can help with your needs.

Happy Holidays!

I have not investigated this in depth, however, my gut feeling is that that you cannot get GP to print the remittance on blank paper at the same time as printing checks on check stock without some significant customization.

A less involved alternative may be to modify the remittance report to not repeat what is already on the check stub, but I would recommend asking that question on the GP Community Forum, where you can find people much better acquainted with Report Writer that I am. Another alternative would be to see if any of the 3rd party check printing software can help accomplish what you want.

I’ve been using “Stub on Bottom”, which if there are more than 12 lines on the remittance, you will then be promted to print the remittance once you have posted the cheques. However, this prints all the transactions again (including the 12 on the original).

Is there anyway to get Report Wrtier to print on blank paper as part of the “Print Cheques” process and also miss off the 12 transactions on the continued remittance?

1. The answer to this would depend on exactly what you are trying to add. If you’re talking about the 3rd address line, there is a how-to article available describing how to do this here: https://mbs.microsoft.com/customersource/documentation/howtodocuments/msd_gpaddress3fieldsalesdocuments.htm?printpage=false&sid=cqxvwyvzfcw4gt52td0f4ft1&stext=How to add the Address 3 field to documents and how to suppress blank address fields in Sales Order Processing in Microsoft Dynamics GP.
2. GP does not have a ‘historical packing slip’, so you would need a custom report to accomplish this. Our GP Reports Viewer product http://www.GPReportsViewer.com/gpreports.html can help with something like this.

1) How to I add an additional address line under “SHIP TO” on sales invoices?
2) Is there a way to print packing slips for historical Invoices? What alternatives I can use to print packing slips for historical invoices?

Thanks,

I am not aware of a way to do this in GP. If you have the view on the SalesTransaction Entry expanded, you can see the Quantity Available as you are entering each item…but that’s about as close as you can get.

-Victoria

Thank you for your kind words!

I have not heard of this issue. Are you doing this right from the Sales Transaction Entry window by clicking Print and choosing tab delimited file as the output? If so, then my next question would be…why? If that’s not what you’re doing, can you give me a bit more detail as to how you are exporting?

-Victoria

Can you please tell me if you are aware of the problem that GP has when exporting a sales order to a tab-delimited file – the shipping and billing addresses switch places? I’ve been told that this issue has existed since the origin of Great Plains and there is no fix. True?

If they are all in the same batch (or a few batches) you can delete the entire batch at once. Otherwise, you might be able to do this directly in the database, but this is not something that I would recommend without getting some advice from your GP Partner or GP Support.

That is correct, Report Writer does not allow multiple 1 to many relationships. You can possibly write some code to get around this, but I am not the best person to answer questions about Report Writer. For that I would recommend looking at David Musgrave’s blog. If you decide to create an SSRS report…you could just have users run it off the SSRS site, you do not necessarily need Sharepoint for that….or you could use something like our GP Reports Viewer product and actually run the report from just about any GP window. You could even automatically pass parameters to the report from fields on the GP window.

I am trying to create a modified Report in GP2010 using the standard GP Report Writer for Inventory Transfers. I just want to add the bin the item is coming from and the bin the item going to (along with sites). However, from what i can tell, the GP report writer will only allow one “1 to many” table relationships, however to add in the bins, i need two “1 to many” table relationships. Do you know anyway around this? I was thinking maybe i could build a report for Inventory Transfers in SSRS, but i am not sure how to integrate this with GP? Do i need to use sharepoint? I am using SQL 2008R2. Any advice/suggestions as to how i can deal with this seemingly simply report.?

Thanks

I can think of several things that could cause that:

• The inquiry window was open while transactions were being posted.
• One of the ranges at the top of the window is not set to ‘All’.
• The currency shown is not the functional currency.

There may be others, but those are the ones that easily come to mind. I typically use the Summary Inquiry window instead of the Detail Inquiry to look at this stuff…it is a lot easier to see the numbers (and possible issues) there. If you believe there is an issue with the numbers, you may need to run Check Links and/or Reconcile.

-Victoria

This is not really possible without a pretty large scale customization, and I don’t know if I would recommend it. I would suggest discussing the reasons you need this with your GP Partner to see if they can offer you some other workarounds.
