This is one area where the Payables module differs drastically from the Receivables module and you have to jump through some hoops to actually accomplish this. The issue is that when you go to void […]

Change GP fiscal period names using SQL Server

Every time I create a new fiscal year in Dynamics GP or show customers how to do it, I get a little frustrated that I have to manually rename all the periods. Some users may not care that instead of January GP displays Period 1, but I don’t think that is very user friendly. So, for more years […]

Just as the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are released, Microsoft announces that Dynamics GP 10.0 is already compatible with them. No service pack required. While my memory is not what it used to be, I do not recall any other new operating system that an existing version of GP was immediately compatible with. We have had […]

SQL view to show security roles and tasks in Dynamics GP 10

Dynamics GP 10.0 has brought about a drastic change in GP security. Not only is the security pessimistic now, so by default no permissions are granted, but setting up and administering security is quite different from what many of us are used to after working with previous versions of GP for many years. And, of course, reporting on […]

Why support only part of a solution on SQL Server 2008?

This is something that came up as I was reviewing posts in the FRx newsgroup and talking to customers about GP upgrades.  I wanted to rant about it a little and see what others thought.  Maybe I am over-reacting? Dynamics GP 10.0 is supported on SQL Server 2008.  However, FRx Reporter 6.7 is only compatible […]
