Notes on reporting in SOP:

  • Remember to filter out voided transactions.
  • When linking SOP tables, always link on the SOPNUMBE and SOPTYPE.  While it doesn’t happen too often in real life, the system will allow you to have the same SOP number for different SOP types.
  • On Invoices and Returns, QUANTITY is what was billed/credited, however, if you want to see the quantity in the ‘Base’ Unit of Measure (what the Inventory module keeps the quantities in), you will need to multiply the QUANTITY by the QTYBSUOM (Quantity in Base U of M).
  • Returns will show up as positive numbers – you’ll need to change the sign if you are adding all the transactions together.

    Hi Victoria,
    Firstly, thank you for all your work you have done, it makes my job that much easier!
    I need to obtain the entire sales order/invoice with just the SOPNUMBE from table SOP10100. What tables will i need to join on (what do i join on) and query to also get all the line items relating to the SO (all the info relating to the specified SO)?

    • Victoria Yudin Reply April 19, 2013 at 5:29 am

      Hi Don,

      Part of the difficulty with answering your question generically is that I do not know what information you are entering for your sales orders. The basic information is in SOP10100 and SOP10200 for unposted transactions and SOP30200 and SOP30300 for posted or completed ones. However, you may need to add many additional tables, depending on what data is being entered. As a start, you can take a look at my view for Dynamics GP SOP line items with serial numbers and comments. If you need more, let me know specifically what you’re looking for and I will try to help.

        Hi Victoria:

        I am trying to pull tracking numbers for posted invoices and am not having any luck finding the documents in SOP10107. Is there another table this number is stored in after posting?

        • Victoria Yudin Reply April 23, 2013 at 5:55 am

          Hi Chris,

          There is no other table for this, but that does not mean your users are not entering the tracking information somewhere else. I have seen many companies put the tracking numbers in the comments, for example. Have you confirmed where exactly your users are entering the tracking numbers?

          -Victoria

          • Chris Thornton Reply April 23, 2013 at 1:34 pm

            Hi Victoria:

            Thanks for the quick response. The tracking numbers are being stored in the Sales User-Defined Fields Entry form in the field called 1st Tracking No. I have an order that has not been posted yet that has tracking information in that field but the order does not show up in SOP10107. Do you know what tables the user defined forms tie to?

            Thanks.
            Chris

            • Victoria Yudin Reply April 23, 2013 at 1:38 pm

              Chris,

              If the field is actually called ’1st Tracking No.’, then I suspect your users are simply using a user-defined text field and not the actual fields set up for the tracking numbers at the top left corner of the Sales User-Defined Fields Entry window. The user-defined text fields can be found in SOP10106 for both unposted and posted transactions.

        Thanks Victoria.
        I’m utilizing the econnect outgoing service to obtain posted transactions (SOP30200 and SOP30300). i was concerned that the generated xml file that is moved into MSMQ from the GP outgoing table wouldn’t contain the order line items and other crucial data needed for my particular project. Your comment helped me determine that i was monitoring the wrong tables (SOP10100 and SOP10200). The goal is to obtain all the information pertaining to the (posted) order so that it can be re-formatted and sent to a client of ours. So far things are working well, if i need more information i’ll post another question. Thank you for your help!

    Hello Victoria, I am noob in this forum, it’s an excellent website to learn about the Microsoft Dynamics GP tips. My question it’s simple: ¿Why an order has posted in table sop30200, if it is not transferred to an invoice or another document class?

    Thanks so much

  3. Casey Kuhn Reply March 7, 2013 at 10:26 am

    Hi Victoria:

    Thank you for the great resources. I was wondering if you could share some thoughts on a question I have? The SUBTOTAL (and as a result DOCAMNT) fields of SOP10100 are calculated from SOP10200.XTNDPRCE, which is in turn calculated from QUANTITY * UNITPRCE. I have a client that is going to begin cancelling quantities on orders rather than adjusting the QUANTITY field in order to measure fulfillment percentage and with the hope that more product can be fulfilled during the order process.

    Because of this, there is a disparity between the actual amount that will go to invoice and the SUBTOTAL field displayed to GP users. For example, if an order has a single line with QUANTITY = 10, QTYCANCE = 5, UNITPRCE = 20.00, then XTNDPRCE and SUBTOTAL will show 200.00, rather than the 100.00 that is actual getting ordered. This is especially significant as they capture credit cards through a 3rd party plugin that uses DOCAMNT.

    Is there a way to change the way GP sums up orders, or some other workaround you recommend?

    Best,

    Casey Kuhn

    • Victoria Yudin Reply March 7, 2013 at 10:36 am

      Hi Casey,

      I am guessing this is a continuation of this discussion: https://community.dynamics.com/gp/f/32/p/28004/53898.aspx#53898 ?

      There may be others, but I can think of 2 options for what you’re describing:

      1. Customize the Sales Transaction Entry window to calculate the subtotal and document amounts differently, based on the logic that you want. I would not expect this to be a trivial customization since there is so much stuff going on in SOP and on that window in particular, expecially if you have 3rd party products involved. But this would give your customer exactly what they want.
      2. Change the process so that the quantity is actually updated, instead of using the cancelled quantity, but then provide some other way of capturing and reporting on the cancelled quantities – maybe using Extender or another customization? I would expect this to be easier to do than the 1st option, but it might also involve changing/customizing whatever reporting is already in place looking at the cancelled quantities.

      Hope that helps,
      -Victoria

      • Casey Kuhn Reply March 15, 2013 at 12:49 pm

        Hi Victoria,

        I just wanted to reply back in case this is useful for others. What I ended up doing was creating a custom add-in with VS Tools for GP that shows all the order header amounts in a separate window (accessible via the Additional menu or a short cut key). This automatically updates as the user pages through orders, etc., and gets the data from a sproc that is used throughout the order fulfillment process.

        Let me know if you’d like further details.

        Thanks again!

    Hello Victoria!

    Quick one: Would you happen to know how the field EXTDCOST from SOP30300 is derived? I would like to use it for gross margin / item calculations and as we have skus being sold from multiple vendors it would need to be coming from the vendor invoice as opposed to a standard cost.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    • Victoria Yudin Reply January 15, 2013 at 2:44 pm

      Hi Steve,

      Thanks for your kind words!

      There is no one formula for extended cost because it will depend on a lot of different setup elements in your GP, including inventory valuation method, tracking options, etc. Also, if you have a lot of situations where the item cost is adjusted after the sales invoice is posted, then what is in SOP30300 will not be correct, as it is not updated after posting.

    Hi Victoria, how can I change the SOPTYPE label in dynamics GP through SQL, I mean, I don´t want to use modifier. I know there is a function but I don´t find it. Thanks

  6. Taylor Scott Reply January 2, 2013 at 3:52 pm

    Hello Victoria! Looking forward to getting through some of your book on the plane today! I’m trying to determine how I can see which Dynamics GP user account entered a specific line item that ends up on either SOP30200 or SOP30300. I found a process improvement that needs to be made, but I can’t seem to see which user needs to make the change.

    Thanks for all your help!!

    • Victoria Yudin Reply January 3, 2013 at 6:20 am

      Hi Taylor,

      Thanks for buying my book!

      For your question – GP does not store the user at the line item level. So the best you can get (out-of-the-box) is the user who entered (USER2ENT) and user who posted (PTDUSRID) in SOP30200. Typically the same user will enter all the line items on a particular transaction, but I can see that not being the case is some environments. One other thing to consider – there may be one user who is entering Orders, while another is transferring from Orders to Invoices. I am not sure which of these users will be stored in SOP30200 – you would need to understand your particular workflow to see if this is the case and possibly do some testing to confirm what is stored in the database.

      All that said, my 2 cents would be to talk to ALL users that are entering SOP transactions about any process changes/improvements. So that they all have the same understanding of what should be done and how to do it. If the issue is that someone is entering something incorrectly and you need to find out who (and they will not admit to it), you may need to create some SQL triggers to trap who is doing what you do not want them to do.

      Hope that helps,
      -Victoria

    We are looking to enhance our use of GP and all of the Account Segments to drive better internal reporting. Additionally, we are doing a number of things in the business to streamline how we operate, including looking to eliminate a large number of warehouse and ship directly to customers from centralized warehouses.

    Please note, each “Branch” has its own 1st segment in the GL and all Customers in that branch are tied to the 1st segment by customer class

    What we would like to be able to do is to take an order for Product A from a Customer in Ft. Lauderdale (1st Segment 5259) and then have it shipped from the warehouse in Chicago (1st segment of 5144) – yes, it may be less expensive from a landed cost perspective to ship a low turn product rather than stock in a warehouse in Ft. Lauderdale.

    We would like the Revenue (Credit) to be booked to the Fort Lauderdale P&L based as follows:
    1) 1st Segment = 5259 (coming from Customer Card)
    2) 2nd Segment = 47500 (coming from the Item Card)
    3) 3rd Segment = 5100 (???? – we are flexible, but would prefer to come from Customer Card)

    The Debit to Receivables would be booked from the Customer Card as well

    Debit to COGS should be similar
    1) 1st Segment = 5259 (coming from Customer Card)
    2) 2nd Segment = 57500 (coming from the Item Card)
    3) 3rd Segment = 5100 (???? – we are flexible, but would prefer to come from Customer Card)

    Credit to the Inventory in Chicago when Shipped would be
    1) 1st Segment = 5144 (coming from Warehouse Location from which fulfilled)
    2) 2nd Segment = 13000 (coming from the Item Card for Inventory)
    3) 3rd Segment = 5100 (???? – we are flexible, but would prefer to come from Customer Card)

    Given that SOP is set up with Distributions coming from the Customer OR the Item, but not necessarily both, we are a little confused.

    We certainly do not want to have multiple Item numbers (the same for each location).
    Further, it would be very helpful to not have to transfer the Item to “phantom” Ft. Lauiderdale” warehouse first and then relieve (But perhaps that is doable).

    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    Thx.

      Tom,

      Reading through this briefly, I do not believe you will be able to do this out of the box in GP. You may want to look at either FlexiCoder from eOne or a customization to accomplish this.

          For what it is worth, this is not something most would consider ‘basic’. Of all the companies I have worked with over the years, maybe one or two needed something like this. All the others were fine with what GP could do out of the box. :-)

    This maybe a little tough but is there a way to conenct the dots between a receiving and a sale? I want to know what Inventory receiving and item was taken from and used on a sales document… Basically I need to track my FIFO… any ideas or help would be amazing!

    • Victoria Yudin Reply December 28, 2012 at 7:31 am

      Hi B,

      I have not done a report like this, but this may be possible using the IV10200 and IV10201 tables. IV10200 will have the receipts with the receipt number or inventory adjustment in the RCPTNMBR field. IV10201 will have the sales with the sales doc or inventory adjustment in the ORIGINDOCID field. I think that you should be able to link on IV10201.SRCRCTSEQNM = IV10200.RCTSEQNM and the item number.

      Hope that helps,

    Here’s an easy one for some kind soul – using eConnect, when creating an SOP document (type Invoice), one of the available fields is USRDEFND1 for the Sales Order Work detail. I’ve put a breakpoint in the code to verify that the field truly has data in it before going on its merry way to GP, but for the life of me can’t find which table that lives in. I’ve gone thru Victoria’s awesome list of tables, checking the likely suspects, including SOP10200, SOP10106, and SOP10202, but verified thru SQL that the field isn’t going to any of those. Anyone care to share some holiday cheer and point me in the right direction? Many thanks!

    • Victoria Yudin Reply December 27, 2012 at 4:54 pm

      CindyLu,

      If that field is what it sounds like (User Defined 1) then it should be going to the USERDEF1 field in SOP10106.

      -Victoria

      • CindyLu Reply December 27, 2012 at 4:59 pm

        Wow Victoria – say it again backwards – woW! Very gracious and kind of you to answer so quickly. Unfortunately though, there are a grand total of zero records in SOP10106. SOP10100 and SOP10200 look great for showing the record that was added, but it’s pretty lonely in SOP10106. I was thinking of running a SQL Profiler session to try and figure it out if you don’t have an alternate idea… Thanks again!

        • Victoria Yudin Reply December 28, 2012 at 7:16 am

          Hi CindyLu,

          I can’t really imagine anywhere else that data would go unless I am misinterpreting the field name. Is it possible that the data is just not making its way into GP? If you look at the imported transaction in the GP application, when you go to the User Defined window is there anything there?

          I think SQL Profiler would be the next logical step if you are not finding it. Please let me know what you find out.

    Hi Victoria,
    Thank you so much. I realized afterwards that I was able to do it by first creating a SmartList using SQL server and SmartList Builder for all the open orders having FRGTTXBL =1 (Taxable) and then creating a GP Macro using GP and Excel for all those orders to change the FRGTTXBL to 3 (Base on customer). Your reply helped me in convincing the top management that it cannot be done using utilities, routines or CheckLinks.
    Regards.

  11. Zafar Haider Khan Reply December 19, 2012 at 11:05 am

    Hi Victoria,
    How can we apply the new changes done in Sales order processing setup to all the existing open orders. For example, we have changed the tax option from “Taxable” to “Based on Customer”. Now we want all the existing open orders to have freight taxes change from “Taxable” to “Based on Customer”.
    Thanks

    • Victoria Yudin Reply December 19, 2012 at 11:17 am

      Zafar,

      There is no easy way to do this. First, changing setup does not change anything on existing unposted transactions. Second, even if you were to change the setting itself using something like a SQL update, the amounts would not get recalculated this way. The best way to make this change is to go through all the open orders one at a time in GP, make the change there, and have GP recalculate the tax. While it is a pain to do if you have a lot of open orders, it may actually be less time than having to write and test code to update everything in SQL. Unless you have thousands of open orders, of course. In that case, it may be worthwhile to spend the time/money to write and test a SQL update for this.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply December 18, 2012 at 1:49 pm

      Hi Steven,

      There is really no way to void in SQL, at least not easily. You’re talking about moving records from one set of tables to another. Doable? Yes. But would require some testing and good knowledge of GP tables and SQL. All in all might be faster and easier to void in the GP application.

      What you could easily do in SQL is delete the duplicates. However, you can delete the whole batch in GP as well, without going through SQL.

        Even if the batch is posted can it be deleted in GP? This batch has about 1200 invoices in it.

        • Victoria Yudin Reply December 18, 2012 at 2:04 pm

          Steven,

          We’re talking SOP batch? Once posted, that can be neither voided nor deleted in GP. Nor would I recommend doing that in the tables, as you would still have issues to fix in related tables. I would recommend talking to your GP Partner so they can help you fix this properly. There are a lot of variables that would make the fix different, so it would be best if someone that knows your environment well helped you with it.

Is there any way to calculate document amount from the sales line level, considering the invoice may have tax amount, freight, amount, trade discount, miscellaneous amount associated with it. Can you help us with any SQL query to do this job?

    • Victoria Yudin Reply December 10, 2012 at 9:44 am

      Hi Prakash,

      You would most likely need to do some kind of prorating / weighted average logic. That’s a bit past the level of code that I typically post on my blog, as it can get very complicated, very quickly. It will also greatly depend of a lot of other components of your code. This kind of coding is something that my company can provide as a consulting project if you are interested.

    Hi Vitoria, Thank you very much. Yes, you are right, it seems we need to focus more on users’ training. In fact, the users are changing the name accidently to certain characters which are either the most commonly used buttons such as Back space , Enter or Space bar or the buttons next to these bottons . So the customer name are showing as + (plus) , ” (single quote) or space.

    Hi Victoria, Thanks again. It seems we do not own the field level security module. Regarding Dexterity customization, is it related to VBA file or something else?

    • Victoria Yudin Reply November 22, 2012 at 11:27 am

      Hi Zafar,

      Dexterity is the proprietary application development environment that Dynamics GP is written in and many customizations are best using Dexterity, although there is a bit of a learning curve and it is typically better to have someone with training and experience create Dexterity customizations for you. If you are not too familiar with GP customizations, I would recommend talking to your GP Partner about this.

      For what it’s worth – my 2 cents on customizations is that they should be limited to something that either enhances the functionality of GP or saves a lot of time for users. This is because every customization you add to your environment causes it to be more difficult (and thus, usually, more costly) to maintain, support and upgrade. If users are changing the Customer Name when they should not be, that is more of a user training issue.

    I ran into an issue where the extd cost of a service item is showing in the SOP30300 table but it isn’t showing in the SOP30200 table. Is this normal? Our commissions are figured from the header so this causes an issue for our payroll dept.

      Error message when you try to open the Cash Receipts Entry window in Sales in Microsoft Dynamics GP: “Your previous transaction-level posting session has not finished processing”

      I can see the batch in the SY00500 table with the batch ID that matches the user – I am assuming this is so because this window does not actually have a batch – and that when I close out the window the transactions all post. I went into GP and verified that the transactions were listed in the sub ledger as well as in the general ledger so I am not sure why this is still in the SY00500 table and why the user can not go into the cash receipts entry form.

      I saw from several post to make sure everyone is out of GP – run the following SQL Scripts:

      SELECT * FROM DYNAMICS..ACTIVITY
      SELECT * FROM DYNAMICS..SY00800
      SELECT * FROM DYNAMICS..SY00801
      SELECT * FROM TEMPDB..DEX_LOCK
      SELECT * FROM TEMPDB..DEX_SESSION

      DELETE DYNAMICS..ACTIVITY
      DELETE DYNAMICS..SY00800
      DELETE DYNAMICS..SY00801
      DELETE TEMPDB..DEX_LOCK
      DELETE TEMPDB..DEX_SESSION

      and I did – but that batch that contains those transactions is still there. I saw another post where someone said to look for lock spids so I ran the following script and got the following results:

      sp_lock

      spid dbid ObjId IndId Type Resource Mode Status
      —— —— ———– —— —- ——————————– ——– ——
      51 4 0 0 DB S GRANT
      53 7 0 0 DB S GRANT

      59 4 0 0 DB S GRANT
      60 17 0 0 DB S GRANT
      61 17 0 0 DB S GRANT

      So now I don’t know what I need to do… should I delete the SY00500 with the user id as the batch number? Will that fix things? Or what should I do – we need to enter cash receipts.

      Thanks,

      John

      • Victoria Yudin Reply November 13, 2012 at 5:00 am

        John,

        If you are confident that the transactions have been posted properly to the receivables as well as the GL tables, then you can delete the record for this batch in SY00500. Most likely it has a transaction count of 0 anyway.

        As you suspect, the reason the batch ID is the user’s name is that there was no batch created. However, that’s not because the Cash Receipts Entry window will not allow a batch. It’s because the user never entered one. To avoid these kinds of issues in the future, my recommendation is to either always use batches or to close each window you are working on as soon as you are done, so the posting can complete right away.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply August 28, 2012 at 5:18 am

      Hi Sathya,

      I am not sure what you mean by ‘create a partial invoice’, but there is no way to give you a definitive list of tables updated without knowing a lot more detail about your GP setup. You can find information about transaction flows and tables in the GP SDK. Or you can turn on SQL Profiler and see what tables are updated.

      RM tables only get updated when SOP transactions get posted. PM tables do not get updated by SOP transactions unless you have something custom in place to do that.

        • Victoria Yudin Reply September 6, 2012 at 5:28 am

          Sathya,

          DEPSTATS is Deposit Status, although I think that field name is a little misleading. From what I can tell looking at our data and doing some quick testing, unposted transactions will have a 0 in this field and posted ones will have a 2. So this is acting more like Posting Status.

    Hi Victoria,
    What a wonderful resource you provided!
    I am new to dynamic GP and I got one question. I need to create a report for refund since customer partial/fully cancelled some products they have paid.
    Where should I look this information?
    Do I use SOP30300 where SOPTYPE equal ‘Return’?
    Or
    Do I use RM30101 where RMDTYPAL= ‘Credit Memo’, or I should use RMDTYPAL=’Return’
    Thanks in Advance

    • Victoria Yudin Reply August 13, 2012 at 4:52 am

      Hi Wilson,

      You’re looking to report on returns/refunds you have entered in GP? If so, the answer will depend on how you have entered those refunds and what kind of information you need to show on the report.

      For example, if you need to show detail about the item itself and the refund was entered through Sales Order Processing, you will want tables SOP30200 and SOP30300. If it was entered as a Credit Memo directly in Receivables, then you want to use tables RM20101 and RM30101.

    hi Victoria,

    what does it mean when invoices in SOP10100 has “**Sales Entry” value in BCHSOURC? Can i just simply remove the “**” in front? And how can i fix this problem?

    Thank you,

    Aaron

    • Victoria Yudin Reply July 17, 2012 at 3:33 am

      Hi Aaron,

      I have not seen this before, so I am not sure what would cause that. In the SOP30200 table (and in general in GP) when you have a single * in front of the BCHSOURC that indicates that the transaction was posted without a batch. I would not recommend deleting the *’s until you figure out what is causing them – you may easily break something else if those are expected to be there. Do all your invoices have this or only some? What is different about those invoices from ones that do not have the *’s? Do you have any customizations or 3rd party products that may be creating SOP invoices?

      -Victoria

      • Aaron Reply July 17, 2012 at 1:26 pm

        Yes, we are using 3rd party application to generate SOP invoices. and for some reasons, yesterday was the only day that all invoices has ** in front of the BCHSOURC. and today invoices are fine after we restarted that 3rd party tool.

    Hi Victoria, is there any way to update invoice date to follow actual ship date or order fulfillment date? i need this because invoice date is somehow always follow the date when we transfer document from Order to Fulfillment Order, regardless of when we shipped out the goods to customer. Thank you

    • Victoria Yudin Reply July 8, 2012 at 7:19 am

      Hi Lukman,

      I am not aware of any way to do this in GP out-of-the-box. Part of the reason this may not be so simple is that theoretically it is possible for the actual ship date to be different on every line item, so you would need additional logic to determine what to do in that case. If this is important to your workflow, you may want to talk to your GP Partner about a customization for this.

    thanks,

    Aaron N.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply July 1, 2012 at 10:40 am

      Hi Aaron,

      The prefixes for sales transaction numbers are actually part of the number, they are not stored separately. Generally, I would recommend making changes to these inside GP, rather than in the tables. If you are using Sales Order Processing, there are 2 places the next available numbers are set:

      1. On the Document Type ID Setup window – this allows you to have individual numbering schemes for each Document Type ID, so, for example, you can have invoices with multiple numbering schemes at the same time. To get to these, navigate to GP | Tools | Setup | Sales | Sales Order Processing, then click on the Sales Document Setup button and pick the appropriate document type. On the next window, select the ID you are looking to make a change for. If nothing is in the ‘…Next Number’ field at the top, then you are using the global numbering schemes for this (see the next option below).
      2. On the global Sales Order Processing Numbers Setup window. (This is used if nothing is specified for the Document Type ID.) To navigate to this, go to GP | Tools | Setup | Sales | Sales Order Processing, then click on the Numbers button.

      If you absolutely must do this in the tables, the global Sales Order Processing numbers are in SOP40300, the Document Type ID setup is in SOP40200.

      I do not believe you can definitively track this information in GP without first setting something up to track it. Nothing out of the box will do this. Maybe the Audit Trails module will, but I am not certain.

        • Victoria Yudin Reply June 23, 2012 at 5:43 am

          Hi Aaron,

          That all depends on what you put in place to track it. It also depends on your transaction volume and infrastructure/resources. If this is the only thing you want to track, you could probably do it with a SQL trigger and a custom table without seeing an impact on performance. I do not have code or documentation for something like that available, sorry. I would recommend talking to your GP Partner or SQL DBA for help on setting it up.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply June 6, 2012 at 3:04 pm

      Hi Aaron,

      Voiding is done at the transaction/header level, so for that you can check the VOIDSTTS field in SOP10100 and SOP30200. Cancelling is done at the line item/detail level (and can be partial!) – for that you can check the QTYCANCE in SOP10200 and SOP30300.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply April 16, 2012 at 7:29 am

      Hi Aaron,

      It may be possible, but will depend on the specifics of how you enter data into GP. Table IV30301 has a list of ‘related’ receipts and sales of inventory which you can link to table IV30300 for more detail. If the way you enter receipts and your inventory item set up allow it, you should be able to use these tables to determine what receipts of inventory went to which sales invoices. From there you can link back to the POP10500 table to determine the PO numbers for your inventory receipts.

    VICTORIA,
    Quick question. I used your table list above to get the serial numbers of my line items. but I am not sure how to print them on the Invoice (a Crystal Report). if I tried to add the field from SOP10201 in the details section, it repeates the same lineitem entry for each serial (duh). do you know of a quick trick to pull the several serial numbers for a single line item, (seperated by commas) and print them on that line item.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply March 16, 2012 at 5:24 am

      Hi Raouf,

      To have the line item not repeated for each serial number you would need to have the serial numbers in a separate section of the Crystal report – take a look at the sample SOP reports included with GP Reports Viewer for an example of this. The serial numbers are in the Details a section. The section will grow as needed based on however many serial numbers you have for each line and is a quick and easy way to add serial numbers to your report.

      I am not sure if it is possible to put multiple serial numbers on a single line separated by commas directly in Crystal. The way we have done this in the past is to create a SQL function to loop through the serial numbers and concatenate then into one string. Then that function is used in a stored procedure that the Crystal report is based on.

    Good morning Victoria,

    We are still fairly new to GP and are on GP2010. We do a lot of business with .coms and recently ran a Groupon for our products. When we do this, we ship from our warehouses to the consumer but we invoice the retailer. We have to enter the orders separately to generate packing slips for the warehouse but then we end up creating an invoice for every sales order. For Groupon, this means a thousand invoices to a customer we made up. We have to invoice obviously to update inventory but these invoices never go out to either the consumer or to Groupon who pay us automatically. Is there a way to group a whole bunch of sales orders to the same customer id on one invoice? We would like to be able to do all for a day or even a week at a time.

    Thank you very much!

    Scot

    • Victoria Yudin Reply March 2, 2012 at 9:42 am

      Hi Scot,

      From what you’re describing a couple of thoughts come to mind:

      • If the only objective is to print individual packing slips per ship to address, why not create all the ‘customers’ as ship to addresses under one customer (Groupon), put the appropriate ship to address on each sales order line and then make sure your packing slips print one report per ship to address on the line item level? This may actually be the default behavior in GP, you’d just need to double check this.

    We have been dealing with an odd situation at our company for years. It is impossible to duplicate using any set of criteria that I can come up with but still the issue occurrs several times a week. We have several people entering sales orders all day long. Every once in a while, the line items (SOP10200) from one order will end up associated with the order (SOP10100) that was entered by a different user. Have you ever seen this and if so, is there something I can do to stop this from happening?

    • Victoria Yudin Reply February 22, 2012 at 7:14 pm

      HI Lonnie,

      Sounds like you have tried to duplicate this and are not able to, so this may be a really tough one to troubleshoot. :-( I have not seen this happen with out-of-the-box GP under optimal conditions. However, I have seen similar strangeness happen once in a while in environments that were heavily customized and/or were experiencing connectivity issues on the network or resource issues on the server. I know this is a very general statement, but it is really impossible to get into specifics without a lot more details. If you said that this happens once a year with high transaction volume, I would maybe write if off as some crazy glitch. But if it is happening several times a week, then there is definitely something that is routinely causing this.

      Is the issue actually seen if you look at the tables in SQL? In other words, do the line items actually make their way onto the incorrect transaction? Or is it simply a display issue where the data the users are seeing on the screen is not the same as what is in the tables?

      Do you have any modifications, customizations or 3rd party products installed? Is the data being entered manually on the Sales Transaction Entry window? What version of GP, by the way?

I am new here at the company as their GP developer and I am currently reviewing the code for anywhere the SOP10100 and or the SOP10200 tables are modified or updated by the code. Before I got too deep I though I would check and see if this was a known issue that had a fix or process in place to stop it from happening.

I do not work with manufacturing tables much, so I am not familiar with them, however, I suspect that you may be able to get everything you need from one of the inventory tables – I would start with IV30300. You should be able to pretty quickly determine if that does not include manufacturing data, if so you may need to add that in separately. Hope this helps.

    Hi Victoria, thank you so much. As there are almost more than 300 such orders so the option of fixing the orders either deleting and reentering the order or the effected line item will be comparitively a time consuming task so we try with the option of changing the values in SOP10200, checklinks and reconcile. Just for my understanding, will it require some extra steps if the quantity is other than 1. Or the only requirement is to have the same quantity

    • Victoria Yudin Reply November 28, 2011 at 10:57 am

      Zafar,

      The qty comment was simply to make sure that you’re not actually changing what the UofM ‘base’ is. So that 1 Agent = 1 ea. If you had 1 Agent = 10 ea or something like that, there are a lot of other fields that would need to be looked at and possibly updated in the SOP10200 table.

    Good Morning Victoria,
    We have recently changed the U of M for some items from ‘Agent’ to ‘ea’. Now when we are trying to transfer the old open orders to invoice through an automated process we are getting error message as ‘U of M does not exist for the Unit of Measure Schedule being used’. When we checked SOP10200 we found that all the old orders which are causing the issue have UOFM as agent whereas the new orders have UOFM as ‘ea’. Can we change UOFM from ‘Agent’ to ‘ea’ for all the old open order directly in SOP10200 to resolve the issue without corrupting the database? Kindly advise.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply November 26, 2011 at 7:38 am

      Zafar,

      I have not tried this myself, but at this point, I don’t see that you really have any choice but to try changing this in the SOP10200 table. The only other alternative would be deleting/voiding the existing orders and re-entering them, so I would definitely try fixing them first. After making the changes in SOP10200 I would recommend running check links and reconcile (GP | Tools | Utilities | Sales | Reconcile – Remove Sales Documents) on the orders to make sure that everything is still ok with them. Btw, all of this is assuming that qty 1 ‘Agent’ = qty 1 ‘ea’.

Tables available in Invoice are SOP50200, SOP10100, RM00102, SOP10106, SOP10200, IV00101, SOP10202, SOP10201. Having trouble figuring which table is best to link it to. Any suggstions would be appreciated.

    Thanks

      Dedra,

      Are you asking about doing this in Report Writer? If so, the Customer Numbers are already built into it – you just need to select Print Customer Item on the Sales Documents Print Options window when printing invoices.

      If I misunderstood your question, can you please give more specifics on what you’re trying to do and where?

    hi Victoria,

    is there a sql script that i can view the “freight account distributions” where soptype = 2?
    i just need to know the table and field name. SOP10102 will show all distributions but only when transfer to invoice.
    Hope to here back from you asap.

    thanks,

    Aaron Nguyen

    • Victoria Yudin Reply October 26, 2011 at 5:48 am

      Hi Aaron,

      There is no table that stores this information, because GL distributions do not get created for Orders. An Order does give you the ability to change what accounts numbers will be used when the Invoice gets created for some things (like sales and cost of goods), however the freight account is not one of these and cannot actually be changed on an Order. At this stage, the only account GP knows about for freight is what is set up for the company posting accounts (GP | Tools | Setup | Posting | Posting Accounts | select Sales under Series), so there will be one account possible per company for this.

      -Victoria

      • Aaron Nguyen Reply October 26, 2011 at 1:25 pm

        Hello again Victoria,

        In that case, how can GP smart enough to pick which freight account based on “ship to tax schedule ID” or on one of the user defined field, sop10106.usrdef03? We have several company IDs setup in GP and orders imported to GP based on that two fields. We are using eConnect to post orders and right now, all companies are using the same default freight distribution account.

        Please let me know your thoughts and/or solutions.

        thanks,

        Aaron

        • Victoria Yudin Reply October 26, 2011 at 1:51 pm

          Aaron,

          I don’t believe that GP can do this out of the box. Are you saying that’s what is happening right now, or that’s what you would like to happen? If the former, then possibly you have a customization or 3rd party product doing this. If the latter, then you would most likely need a customization or 3rd party product to accomplish this.

          -Victoria

            Victoria,

            Yes, it’s the latter. How does GP know which freight account to use when order transfer to invoice (i have 3 different freight account set up in GP). Do you think there is a setup in GP that i can alter that?

            thanks,

            Aaron.

            • Victoria Yudin Reply October 27, 2011 at 8:18 am

              Aaron,

              I am not aware of any way that out-of-the-box GP can change the account used for the GL distribution of the Freight field at the bottom of the SOP transaction based on something else. You could possibly a line item instead of the Freight field for this, but whether that is viable depends on many other things. I would recommend discussing this in detail with your GP Partner so they can make sure they understand everything you’re doing and what you are trying to achieve and can help you come up with the best solution.

    Hi Victoria,
    I’ve frequented your site for some time now and find it so helpful! I now have a question of my own – I have hundreds of lines on hundreds of open Sales Orders that need qtys changed from “Qty to Backorder” over to “Qty to Cancel”. Would love to use IM to accomplish this, but as you know, IM only allows Insert and not Update on the Sales Transaction destination. Is there any easy way around this? I considered a before integration or before document script, but don’t know where to begin. Thanks in advance!

    • Victoria Yudin Reply October 2, 2011 at 12:48 pm

      Hi Brynn,

      I am not aware of an easy way to do this. Since you can’t do it with IM, I probably would not bother with before/after scripts and try to do this directly in SQL. It is possible you can accomplish this with updating the SOP10100 and SOP10200 tables and then running Reconcile on SOP transactions, however I have not done this myself, so I would recommend a lot of testing if you do decide to try something like this.

  51. privacypolicy Reply September 26, 2011 at 11:13 am

    When entering Orders, we enter the Quantity and the Extended Price on the line item. GP automatically calculates the Unit Price. This works fine until you transfer the Order to an Invoice. During the transfer, GP recalculates the Extended Price using the Quantity and Unit Price. We use two decimal places for the Unit Price. So I assume GP is only writing a two decimal value to the Work table rather than five. Any ideas to get around this other than starting with an Invoice? Thank you

    • Victoria Yudin Reply September 28, 2011 at 4:34 am

      This is something that you should have an in-depth discussion with your GP Partner about so that they can assess all the various ways you are buying and selling your items. Typically, rounding differences are going to cause issues in GP – partly what you’re describing, but also other possible issues that might not be so readily seen. So it is better to be able to enter the unit cost and have GP correctly calculate the extended cost, not the other way around. 2 ways that come to mind for possibly addressing this are:

      1. Change the number of decimal places for your items to more than 2.
      2. Change the unit of measure schedule to accommodate your pricing. For example, if you’re currently setting a quantity of 1000 each at 53.55 per 1000 (where each is unit of measure), you could instead sell a quantity of 1 thousand at 53.55 (where thousand the unit of measure and thousand = 1000 eaches).

It is in the work tables but when they try to enter anything it says that the invoice has been posted. When looking at the SOP tables there is no posting date. I can run check links but they are in a hurry and sales work needs to have no one working in the tables to run check links. Is there someplace I can look to use SQL to fix this quickly?

      Todd, this is probably not something you can find a generic quick fix for, because there are various solutions possible depending on the exact state of the data. Check links is a good idea, but may not fix this either. I would recommend that you work with your partner or GP Support to help you fix this if Check Links does not resolve it.

    Hi Victoria,
    Thanks again. We have no issues with invoices because we realized and fixed the freight errors before posting the invoices, however, we could not catch it before transferring the orders to invoices and as a result the freight and all other relevant data went wrong for the orders (sop type =2) in historical table. From accounting point of view we are fine, however , we want to keep the data correct for the orders as some of our customer order status reports depend on historical data for sales orders

    • Victoria Yudin Reply August 15, 2011 at 11:41 am

      Zafar,

      Sorry, I did not realize that this was historical. There is no way to do this and I would, again, not recommend changing it directly in SQL without a lot of testing, not only in the directly related SOP tables, but also in the GL, RM and any other modules or 3rd party products that may be integrating with SOP. To do this in the user interface, you could either return the original invoice and re-enter it, or enter a separate invoice for the freight.

    Is it safe to manually change the FRTAMNT and all other correponding data such as FRTTXAMT, DOCAMNT,……………… for some sales orders in SOP30200. We relaized the error in freights after transferring the orders to invoices and have already corrected the freight amount in invoices before posting.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply August 15, 2011 at 10:44 am

      Hi Zafar,

      I would not recommend making this kind of change directly in SQL without a HUGE amount of testing. Unless you have thousands of records that needed this, I would probably do this manually in the GP user interface, or maybe even with a macro. Just my 2 cents.

    Thanks a lot

    • Victoria Yudin Reply July 25, 2011 at 9:36 am

      FAC,

      The fix would depend on what specifically you need as far as reporting, etc, in the future. It may also depend on whether or not you charged the incorrect tax, as you would then need to potentially refund or charge additional tax to your customers. I would recommend discussing this in some detail with your accountants and/or your GP partner and getting advice specific to your situation. The reason for this is that you may face some penalties for incorrect tax reporting and it may be important to get this done right as opposed to quick. It may turn out that the only true fix is to enter returns and re-enter the transactions correctly or you may be able to enter GL tax corrections only. I would generally not recommend making these changes directly in SQL as that may make matters even worse, but again, in your specific situation this may be OK.

          Consider that on the Customer Yearly Summary Inquiry window you can enter a year (and optionally a range of periods) and calculate the totals. If you want to show totals for any given year in your SmartList, you will need to calculate that yourself, no GP table will store that. You can also show fiscal or calendar years (in case they are different in your GP company). I have created similar reports/SmartLists in the past – the tables I used were RM00101, RM00103 and RM00104.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply May 20, 2011 at 10:04 am

      Vic,

      I have seen this happen when the order is transferred to an invoice, but the invoice gets deleted or voided for some reason. If you are positive the invoice is nowhere to be found, you can just manually enter one. Keep an eye on inventory quantity issues that may be caused by this.

      Also, you can enter and post a payment (Cash Receipt) for a customer whether you have an invoice to apply it to or not – there is no rule (at least in GP) that requires the invoice to be entered first. So you can enter the payment today, deposit it to the bank, then enter the invoice tomorrow, then apply the payment to the invoice as a separate step.

          Hi Vic,

          I guess that means that you are entering and posting invoices in SOP, but voiding them in Receivables? And clicking through the message that warns that the invoice did not originate in Receivables? :-) If so, that is not typically recommended and what you’re running into is just one consequence of this. If you are doing this with full knowledge of the implications, then the only way I can think of to filter these out of reports is to link to the invoices in the RM tables (RM20101 and RM30101) and to check their status.

              Vic,

              There is no way to void a posted invoice in SOP. If you are not tracking inventory quantities/sales, etc., then it is typically ok to void SOP invoices in RM. (Except you run into reporting issues like you’re seeing and you need to work around them.) However, if you are actually tracking inventory, then the best way to ‘void’ an invoice is to create a return transaction that mirrors it and apply that return to the invoice. This correctly puts inventory back and adjusts the customer’s account. You do need to apply the return to the invoice as a separate step after posting the return. Here is a blog post by Christina Phillips about this: http://dynamicsgpland.blogspot.com/2009/11/dance-with-one-who-brung-ya-correcting.html.

      There are a few fields like this throughout GP. I do not think the world will fall apart if you start using them, but you might run into trouble if Microsoft decides to start using that field in a future release/service pack. What kind of trouble is hard to say and it may be years, if ever, before this is an issue. So you are probably ok to use it for now, but you need to check future updates and upgrades before installing them to make sure that they will not cause an issue with this.

    Hi Victoria

    We closed late and I ran the fix for that from Microsoft. Now I am being told some of my reports do not tie out to the GL. Do you have a view that can compare the data in RM00104 and the data in the SOP30 series tables by period by customer.

    Thanks
    Vic

    • Victoria Yudin Reply March 30, 2011 at 5:47 am

      Hi Vic,

      There are many reasons why the RM00104 table would not show the same totals as the GL (and SOP):

      1. RM00104 will include data from more than just SOP. When SOP transactions are posted they update RM (Receivables Management). However when RM transactions are posted they do not go back to SOP. So if you are trying to reconcile numbers in RM00104, I would recommend looking at RM tables. Maybe try my view for all posted RM transactions: http://victoriayudin.com/2009/04/24/sql-view-with-all-posted-receivables-transactions/.
      2. Something that many people do not know – the ‘sales total’ tracked and summarized for sales transactions is determined by the settings on the Receivables Setup Options window (GP | Tools | Setup | Sales | Receivables | Options). If all the checkboxes at the bottom of that screen are checked, then all of those amounts are being added into the SMRYSALS amount.
      3. The RM00104 table is using Document Dates from RM. The GL is using GL posting dates from RM. It is entirely possible that these two are in different periods.

      So…it is entirely plausible and not necessarily wrong that the RM00104 data would not match the GL. And I didn’t even mention any adjustments done outside of the RM module.

      If you are positive that the invoice is not in the SOP30200 and SOP30300 tables, the easiest thing to do may be to delete the invoice from the SOP10100 and SOP10200 tables and then run check links. This will clear out the invoice from all other related tables and the user can re-enter it from scratch.

        Thanks, worked like a charm! Once I deleted, ran check links then user was able to start from scratch, worked perfectly. Great site you have here, helpful in so many ways. Keep up the great work!

    Hi Victoria,
    I am trying to created a report of all the outstanding payments on SOP invoices?

    I have been looking at the sop30200([DEPRECVD]=0) and sop10103 to find the invoices which don’t have a payment.
    Is this the right way to get it? is there a simpler way to get this information based on the RM tables?

    Could you point me in the right direction?

    Thanks for your help.

    Victoria –

    I’m hoping you can help answer a question regarding SOP and MO linking.

    In GP 9.0, there is a link between the SOP Number to Manufacturing Order to Picklist using SOP10200 -> IS010001 -> PK010033. However, when a manufacturing order is closed and the Sales Order posted, the reference in IS010001 is removed, breaking the link between the SOP document and the Picklist.

    This is preventing us from referencing exactly what components were consumed when researching historical documents (there is no link between SOP30300 -> IS010001). Are you aware of any method of either preserving that link, or pulling the configured Picklist through another method?

    Victoria,

    Let me start by thanking you for providing an excellent resource for GP information.

    I’m running GP V9.0 and I found a disturbing problem today. We’ve written COGS reports based on invoice line items UNIT COST found in SOP30300. However, we found that the original order in the same table doesn’t always have the same unit cost as the invoice. Can you explain what could cause the difference?

    • Victoria Yudin Reply February 9, 2011 at 7:13 am

      Hi Fred,

      If I am understanding your question, you have costs on an invoice that are different from the price you paid on the receipt of inventory? If that is the case, here is one scenario where that might happen using FIFO inventory valuation:

      1. You receive qty 10 of Item A at $38 each.
      2. You enter a Sales Order for qty 50 of Item A.
      3. Since you only have 10 in stock and since you can get a better price for ordering 50 from the vendor, you place an order for qty 50 of Item A at $32 each.
      4. You receive qty 50 of Item A at $32 each (the 10 you received earlier is still in stock, so you have a total of 60).
      5. You fulfill the qty of 50 on the Sales Order, transfer it to an Invoice and post the Invoice.
      6. Since you are using FIFO, GP ‘fulfills’ this order with the 10 items you already had in stock, at a cost of $38 each and 40 items from the new receipt, at $32 each. Total cost of the items = $1660 (10×38 + 40×32). The per item cost becomes $1660/50 = $33.20. If you look at the GP invoice in SOP30300 you will see an item cost of $33.20.

      Not sure if this is exactly what you’re seeing, but hope that helps explain how such a discrepancy might happen.

    I’m hoping you can help me resolve an issue. I have a client who has a document in the SOP10100 table with a PSTGSTUS of 14 and an SOPSTATUS of 0. When they attempt to pull the document up in Sales Transaction Entry a message displays saying the document number already exists. It was at one time associated with a batch ID, but is now longer. I could use some guidance in resolving this.

    What would happen if I changed the PSTGSTUS? I ran Check LInks but it didn’t fix the issue.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    • Victoria Yudin Reply November 12, 2010 at 5:15 am

      Sean,

      When I see the message that the document number already exists, most of the time tat means the transaction is already posted and just didn’t get cleared out of the unposted tables. My fist step would be to check the SOP30200 and SOP30300 tables to see if it is there and if all the fields are correct. If so, you can delete the doc out of SOP10100 and SOP10200 and run check links.

    We recently had an order with a Check Deposit transfer to invoice and drop the check deposit from the invoice. The deposit is still listed in sop10103 for the order but there is no entry for the invoice in sop10103. The problem arises that we want to void the invoice and are unable to as ‘You cannot void a document that contains posted deposits.’” How should we go about voiding this order, and making sure the check does not end up being reflected in our GL.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply November 11, 2010 at 10:55 am

      Hi Josh,

      This is actually one of the reasons that some companies do not like to enter deposits on orders. At this point, you may need to post the invoice and enter a return for it. If the deposit hits the customer account and/or GL, you will need to void or reverse it. Let me know if you need more help on this, and if so, what GP version you’re on. I would need to test out this exact scenario to see what happens to the payment and how to best clear it out.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply November 6, 2010 at 9:35 am

      Hi Vic,

      Since there will be entries in more tables than that, you will need to run check links if you delete from the SOP10100 and SOP10200 tables to clear up all the related records in other tables. For 26 entries, it might actually be a lot faster to delete them one at a time manually…or move them into the same batch and delete the entire batch.

Besides SOP10100 and SOP30200 and RM00101 RM00301 and What ever table hold the manager for the territory(Not sure which one that is) is there any other place in the database that will need to be updated with the new territories/salesperson/manager

      Vic,

      Why not use the Professional Services Tools Library for this? The Territory Modifier is free (at least that’s how it’s listed in the GP 2010 PSTL brochure) and I think the $750 for the Salesperson Modifier is well worth not having to do this directly in the tables. Especially if this is going to be something that may need to be changed multiple times.

      If you are looking for payments applied to posted invoices, then most likely you’re looking for the AR Apply Detail: http://victoriayudin.com/2010/02/15/sql-view-with-ar-apply-detail/.

      If you are looking for payments applied to unposted invoices, then I do not have a view published for this, but they would be in the SOP10103 table.

      Hope that helps.

        • Victoria Yudin Reply October 26, 2010 at 8:57 am

          Vic,

          There are various tools and methods of bringing in historical sales into GP, but nothing that I would recommend without finding out the ‘whole story’ because there are so many possibilities.

          There may be many different things to consider, including:
          - type/format of data you have
          - volume
          - what GP modules you are using
          - how the historical data will be used – lookups/reporting
          - if reporting, what reporting will be needed
          - numbering (are items/customers numbered the same way in GP and the other system)

          Do you have someone at your GP Partner company that you can discuss this with? That would be my first step.

          -Victoria

  83. Kat Reply October 12, 2010 at 9:51 am

    Victoria,

    Could you help me with an SRS issue with SOP? First of all, when our end users enter anything incorrectly in SOP (date, amount, customer, etc.) they do a return. We have to provide sales reports to the actual clients and do not want them to see the ins and outs of the returns.

    So how would I do that in SRS? I am running my report off of a Stored Proc, but not sure if it would be done in the Proc or within the report itself. I feel like I should do something with the Apply table and then conditionally suppress it within the report, but cannot get a grip on what I should do!

    Thanks Victoria!!

    • Victoria Yudin Reply October 12, 2010 at 10:05 am

      Kat,

      My first question would be, what logic can you use to determine whether a return was applied as a ‘fix’ or for another reason? Are there legitimate returns that DO need to be shown on the sales report? How do the users differentiate between them?

      Second, is your report by line item? If so, this will most likely not be possible, or at least you will have to come up with workarounds for a lot of situations, as GP does not do a line by line apply process. So if you have 20 items on an invoice and a return with 1 item applied to it, there is no way to link (in GP) what Invoice line item the Return goes with.

      These are not necessarily answers to your question so much as a way to illustrate that you may need to sit down and write a more detailed spec for the report before even asking questions like whether to use a stored procedure or something else. That’s actually a no brainer, I would get all my data in SQL first, then use that in SRS, so stored proc is probably best. :-)

    • Victoria Yudin Reply September 1, 2010 at 5:23 pm

      I do not recommend changing this in SQL. I can go into a long rant on why, but let’s just leave it at saying that I would not even do this myself 99.5% of the time.

      If it’s only the General Ledger transaction dates that are an issue, you could enter a summary adjustment directly in the General Ledger to update the numbers.

      If you have reporting that is tied to the SOP dates, you would want to enter returns for all the invoices on 8/11 and re-invoice them on 9/1. You can use the Copy feature to save some time on this.

    Hello Victoria,
    We are using Dynamics GP Professional version 9.00.0281 and SQL Server Management Studio version 9.00.3042.00.
    Friday I was in the process of applying payments to the invoices when our power shut off with a bang. The UPS failed to protect our computers and server.
    I was in the Cash receipts entry window and I had checked off all the invoices but one in the batch when this happened.
    Now when I go into Transaction/ cash receipts entry window, I select the batch I was working on and click apply. In the apply sales document window I try to click the one last invoice and I receive the message, “document is fully applied”.
    I go to that invoice and click on documents I receive the message, “Document does not exist” and the cash receiving zoom shows everything is blank except the payment number and the dates fields show, “0/0/0000”. I am unable to process the payment. The payments on the other invoices I did check off before we lost power was able to post.

    Can you tell me what I should do to free up the invoice so I can apply the payment?

    Thank you in advance!!

      Hi Cindy,

      First things I would do is run check links (first) and reconcile (second) on the sales series. Have you done that already? If not, that’s what I would start with. If check links comes back with messages/errors, run it again until it comes back with no errors.

    Victoria,

    First off, I’d like to say thank you and I appreciate this and other sites that offer this type of useful information.

    I am new to your site and don’t possess the technical acumen that many of your readers have, so please excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject. With that said, I have a situation that occured today that I have been asked to correct.

    I’m not sure if you need this, but just in case, we are using GP 9.00.0281. An open sales order was being transferred to an invoice and the user received an error. She proceeded to cancel the error message. Unfortunately I can’t tell you what the error message was because she can’t tell me. What I can tell you is that the result is that the sales order is now complete but there is no associated invoice. I found the sales order in SOP30200, but I’m not exactly sure what to do to open it back up so we can transfer it to an invoice appropriately.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Happy month-end!

    Stephanie

    • Victoria Yudin Reply August 31, 2010 at 4:01 pm

      Hi Stephanie,

      Thanks for the kind words.

      First I would recommend double checking that the invoice is not sitting somewhere stuck. Probably the easiest way to do that would be to look in SmartList under Sales Transactions – look either for the same Master Number as the Order, or for a transaction with the Original Number = your Order Number. (If you prefer, you can look in the SOP10100 table in SQL instead.)

      If you are certain that the invoice is not there, then probably the easiest thing to do is to enter it manually. You can use the Copy feature to copy all the line items from the order to a new invoice. You don’t get any automatic links to the original order this way…and if that’s important you could possibly add them directly in the database, but in most cases, this is not too important for just one invoice.

      -Victoria

      • Stephanie Burkhard Reply September 1, 2010 at 10:16 am

        Hi Victoria,

        Thank you so much for the information. I checked the SmartList and found the sales order number. Then just as a double-check I also looked for it in the SOP10100 table but did not find it there. I think we’re just going to enter a direct invoice and call it a day and put notes in the comment field cross-referencing it to the original order. Luckily it’s only two line items.

        Thanks again for your assistance!

      Hi Vic,

      Unfortunately, it sounds like you’re not going to be able to use any of the existing summary tables and need to build your own summaries. I would probably use RM20101 and RM30101, or maybe start with this view: http://victoriayudin.com/2009/04/24/sql-view-with-all-posted-receivables-transactions/.

      Also, make sure you determine if you want document dates or GL posting dates – if these are not the same for all transactions (and I have rarely seen a system where they are), then you’re going to want to know that upfront before you write the report and then have to rewrite all the totals formulas.

          Is the idea to to just get the detail behind what’s in the GL? Or to verify that the GL is correct (ie, get the same total from 2 different sources)? If the former, then I would use the GL tables, so maybe this: http://victoriayudin.com/2009/08/11/sql-view-for-all-posted-gl-transactions-in-dynamics-gp/. If the latter, you should have everything you need in the Receivables view I pointed you to in my last response.

              You said ‘several’ – if it’s not too many, I would recommend changing the batch number via the user interface. That’s the preferable way of moving transactions into another batch, as it then updates the batch counts and totals correctly.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply June 29, 2010 at 6:05 am

      Aaron,

      I just quickly tested this and could not find a way to make it not work. If I had the SOP transaction open while making the change in SQL Server, switching to another transaction and going back to the one I changed showed the change. If I used a batch number that didn’t exist, it would make the Batch ID on the transaction blank when I brought it up in GP, but it would still changed from my previous Batch ID. The only thing I can think of is that if your SQL Server is using binary sort, you have to use BACHNUMB, not ‘BachNumb’, but that should have given you an error in SQL if this was the case.

      If this is still an issue, can you write back with exactly how you are updating this in SQL and what, if any, messages you get back when you make your update?

        • Victoria Yudin Reply July 1, 2010 at 4:39 am

          Aaron,

          Can you try creating the batch first? This is part of the reason changes are not recommended directly in SQL. If you were doing this directly in GP, it would not let you put a transaction into a batch that does not exist. For anything that you do directly in the database you have to triple check that you are not violating any of the business rules of the application. Otherwise you are risking your data integrity.

          Also, not sure if you’re just abbreviating your code? If not, I don’t see what you are setting the batch number to in your code. Here is code that I have tested and works for me:

          UPDATE SOP10100
          SET BACHNUMB = 'New Batch ID'
          WHERE SOPNUMBE = 'SOP Doc Number'
          AND SOPTYPE = 3 --this is for invoices, change as needed

          Specifying the SOPTYPE is a precaution, but in SOP you can have the same SOP number for different transaction types (for example a Quote # 12345 and an Order # 12345 and an Invoice #12345), so it’s important to be careful with this.

    Hello Victoria,

    First af all, I just want to say thank you for your web site. It is very very useful!

    I need your advice about SOP Posting Status.
    You mentioned that SOP Posting Status is as below:
    PSTGSTUS (Posting Status):
    0 – Not posted
    2 – Posted
    3 – Error

    I belive this is correct. However, I realized a strange code in SQL database function when I created a new view for a new SmartList.
    Here is an issue:
    Check the following function on SQL server management studio:
    >> Databases >> your GP database >> Programmability >> Functions >> Scalar-valued Functions >> dbo.DYN_FUNC_Posting_Status_SOP_Line_Items
    This scrpit shows that “when @iIntEnum = 0 then ‘Unposted’ when @iIntEnum = 1 then ‘Posted’ when @iIntEnum = 2 then ‘Posted With Error’ else ‘ ‘ “.
    This means,
    0 – Not posted
    1 – Posted
    2 – Posted with Error.
    * Value 1 and Value 2 show the difference with yours.

    Therefore, my smatlist shows that all posted transaction are “Post with Error” as posting status.
    I’d like to know how we can fix this descrepany. I’m afraid to change this script, because I have no idea how this change will effect to other functions in GP. If you have any idea, please advise.

      Hi Hayato,

      Thank you for your kind words!

      Before I get to your specific question, I would strongly advise against changing any existing GP functions, as that could easily break something in GP.

      Looking at the function you mention, I notice that it has Line_Items in the name. When I am talking about the posting status, I am talking about the SOP header level, which is not the same as the line item level. So this function may be for something completely different than what you are using it for. (I don’t actually know what it is used for, sorry, you would need to ask GP Support if you want the answer to that.)

      This is one of the dangers of using the functions you might find in SQL and one of the reasons that I have compiled the lists on my blog, so that it would be easy to build a case statement with the values inside any code being written. In many cases, you don’t even have to write the code yourself – you can copy it from what I have already written. For example, I have the case statement for Posting Status in my SQL view with all SOP line items.

        Hello Victoria,

        Thank you for your advice. It is very helpful! I understood about the Posting Status for Line Item and header. I thought both have the same value for the posting status.
        I will copy your code for the Posting Status to my code and try to get the correct the Posting Status.
        Thank you very much!!!

    Hello Victoria:

    I have a situation. I put a wrong SLPRSNID in a lot of SOP transactions, posted transactions, in the current year. I need to change that SLPRSNID value. I tried with PSTL but that tool change one value for other value in the whole history and I need to update current year only.

    I’m thinking to use a TSQL update on SOP30200 table but i’m not sure if that is correct or even possible.

    What would happen if I use a TSQL update on SOP30200 to change the SLPRSNID value in some transactions?

    Thanks very much for your help, greatly appreciate it.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply June 20, 2010 at 5:46 am

      Hi Emiranda,

      The answer to this depends on what you do with the salesperson ID as far as reporting and what other things you might have in GP tied to the salesperson ID. For example – if your SOP transactions had commissions tied to the salesperson, simply changing the ID in the SOP30200 table is not enough, you’d need to look at the commissions tables. If you are using any summary information for salespeople in GP, it will not automatically be updated by changing the ID in SOP30200, so that may need to be updated manually. Also, each line item can have a different salesperson in GP – if you are doing any kind of reporting on line items, or if you need to take that into consideration, you should also consider updating the SOP30300.

      So….I would recommend consulting with someone (maybe your GP Partner or GP Support) who will be able to go through all the different things that the salesperson ID is used for in your situation and be able to suggest the best course of action for you.

    Dear Victoria,

    I’m trying to see all orders that are in GP that were not invoiced or that are partially invoiced? Is there a small script that I can use for this?

    • Victoria Yudin Reply June 11, 2010 at 10:13 am

      Hi Archie,

      As soon as an SOP order is fully invoiced or transferred to another transaction type (like a back order, for example), it moved out of the SOP10100 and SOP10200 tables. So…any order that is in the SOP10100 and SOP10200 tables would fit your criteria.

      For a script you could use the code I have posted for a SQL view with all SOP line items and just use everything prior to the UNION ALL in the middle.

    hi,

    In the sales batch entry screen, what table is this data in? Is it sop10100? I am trying to update the batch on over 500 sales orders to one, all of these are open, unposted sales orders. So I was wondering what tables I would need to update this batch number field in other than the sop10100 table? I ran the update on 2 sales orders which in GP it shows them in the batch I updated, but when I go to the sales batch entry screen and enter the batch it just shows transaction 1 when there are 3. So I was thinking there is another table that needs to be updated as well. I appreciate any assistance. Thank you

    • Victoria Yudin Reply May 21, 2010 at 12:18 pm

      MC,

      The batch totals are stored in the SY00500 table – this is all batches in the company, not just SOP batches. If you wanted to you could update the batch totals in this table. However, even if the batch screen does not show the right totals on the window in GP, the transactions will post just fine (unless you have turned on the verification of totals in your posting setup).

    Victoria, thanks so much for your response.

    We are running parallel with an AS400 system, and we are working to detach from that system in about 3 months…
    - We do report on sales and do manual entries into GL.. as they did with the AS400 reports.

    You are very kind in responding so quickly and your website is very informative. We really appreciate your insight. So far, these are the affected tables I’ve identified..
    Just looking to change the Posting Date : GLPOSTDT
    RM20101
    SOP30200
    SOP10100
    IV30101 – Sales Summary History
    IV30102= Sales Summary Period History
    IV30200 – Transaction History (header)
    IV30300 – Transaction Amounts History (line detail)

    The invoice dates, and postED dates will remain. We did do some work-around changes on our reports to grab those invoices in our reports just to have a look. We changed our query from just GLPostingDate values to Invoice Date beginning of period to report on it.

    Trying it in test, if we are not successful, we would jut leave it for another month (with adjustments to the reports) and use the date utility to clean up practices by month 3..

    Comments…? again, thank you so much… Troy

    We have an issue , 1st month live with SOP for us. GP has an open door, where it does not warn you about posting SOP doc in a new unopend fiscal period. We did do just that… posted a few batches into the new fiscal period. We DO NOT have sales/sop setup currently to post to GL in posting setup. Do you know what tables the GL Posting Date for the doc/batches are kept in.. We are considering editing that date for the subset of affected documents and seting it back to the EOP date…?

    Thanks in advance.. Troy Kent

    • Victoria Yudin Reply April 24, 2010 at 4:13 am

      Troy,

      As a general rule I do not advocate changing transaction dates directly in the database because there could be many other tables affected and unless you know and update them all, you could be causing more problems that you are fixing. And I not just talking about GL – there are summary tables in SOP and RM, there are inventory transaction and summary tables, etc.

      The best fix for your situation would depend on a lot of other factors. For example, I would want to understand why you do not have SOP set up to post to GL – are you bringing in historical data for reporting purposes? If so, changing the dates in the tables would most likely have an impact on the reporting.

      Without knowing the specifics, generally I would recommend entering returns that mirror what the invoices did and re-entering the invoices correctly.

      Also, for the future, there is a free add-in that you can get from Microsoft (through your GP Partner) called Document Date Verify. This will prevent posting to GL dates that are not in existing or open fiscal periods in most of the core modules including SOP.

    For Invoice’s DueDate, generally do most companies display this to their customer on a printed invoice? By default, I don’t see GP displays the ‘DueDate’ so I’m wondering if it’s a common thing. Thanks!

      Nikki,

      Most companies we have worked with like to display a due date on customer invoices. But definitely not all. Some companies have all invoices ‘due upon receipt’, so there is no need for due dates. Others feel that having the terms on the invoice is enough.

      My 2 cents is that unless your invoice is due upon receipt, there should be a due date shown to take any guesswork out of it.

      Unfortunately, unless you can restore from a backup because this was the last thing you did, there is no way to easily get everything back to where it was. You will need to void or delete the invoice, that’s the easy part. But then you will have to re-enter or adjust the ‘wrong’ order, depending on what the status of it is right now.

    1) Amount owed > 0
    2) Status not void or canceled

    OR

    1) Invoice date within X days from current date

    We are joining SOP30200 and SOP30300 to get the order and line items. We are also joining with RM00101 to get customer information. Are we grabbing the correct information?

    Is there a status or amount field that lets me know that an invoice has outstanding payments?

    Thanks,

    • Victoria Yudin Reply March 4, 2010 at 5:39 pm

      John,

      It sounds like you are on the right track, however, since a lot of your criteria will only be in the RM20101 table, perhaps you want to start there? The code below will give you the list of all invoice numbers matching the criteria you listed above:

      select DOCNUMBR from RM20101
where VOIDSTTS = 0 --not voided
and CURTRXAM  0 -- amount owed  0
and DOCDATE >= '1/1/2000' --change to your criteria
and RMDTYPAL = 1 --invoices only

      Then you can link by the invoice number to the SOP30200 and SOP30300 tables to get the details.

      Line items going missing can mean a great many things, and a lot of them may depend on your GP setup and workflow. Could be someone is deleting them, could be they are being moved to other transactions (like backorders) or could be there is an issue with the connectivity to your server. If this is a recurring issue, I would recommend getting your GP Partner involved so they can provide more specific troubleshooting for your situation.

      The SOP30200 table should be enough if you only have one ship to address per invoice. If you have different ship to addresses per line item (which is possible in GP, but most companies do not do this), then you would need to look at the SOP30300 table.

      Sorry, there is no way to allocate freight in any way with standard GP functionality. You’re most likely looking at a customization to accomplish this. For your second question – you can transfer items from a partially filled order to a Back Order, but not to a new Order. However, Freight would not transfer over if it has already been transferred to an Invoice. Using Back Orders (if you are not already) may require changes to your SOP module setup, so I would look to test it all first before trying it in a production environment.

    First off congrats on your 6th MVP award!

    I’m fairly new to GP, although I’m and experienced SQL and .NET developer.

    I’m doing a QuickBooks to GP Migration, and some of our systems defaults were not set up correctly prior to use. Here is the current problem.

    I have pushed in Hundreds of SOP Transactions using Econnect. Our “Inventory” and “Cost of Sales” accounts were not setup prior to me pushing in these transactions……..and now they won’t post because at the line level……there isn’t a “Inventory” or “Cost of Goods Account at the line level.

    Normally, I would just delete the batch and reimport, but we are using a third party “sales tax” product that makes this problematic.

    Now to the question.

    Is there a relatively easy way to assign line item detail distribution accounts using SQL?

    Thanks

    • Victoria Yudin Reply January 8, 2010 at 6:26 pm

      You should be able to populate the accounts directly in SQL into the SOP10200 table. The inventory one is INVINDX and the COGS is CSLSINDX. You will need to populate these with account indexes (as opposed to actual account numbers) which you can get from the GL00100 table.

    Victoria,

    In short:
    Is it possible to see the GL Distribution per Line Item?

    Explained:

    SOP30200 = SOP Header
    SOP30300 = SOP Detail (the detail holds Line Items)
    SOP10102 = Holds the GL Distribution

    What I try to achieve is to get the GL Distribution for each line item. So far I have been able to join SOP30200 to SOP10102 on SOPTYPE and SOPNUMBE which gives me the GL Distribution of the SOP Header. What I really want to see is the distribution per Line Item.

    So when I have two line items on an Invoice being FEE1 and FEE2 get something like:

    FEE1
    700000-0000-00000-000 , 0 as DebitAmount , 1000 as CreditAmount
    700100-0000-00000-000 , 0 as DebitAmount , 200 as CreditAmount

    FEE2
    700000-0000-00000-000 , 0 as DebitAmount , 2000 as CreditAmount
    700100-0000-00000-000 , 0 as DebitAmount , 400 as CreditAmount

    Rather than
    INVOICE X
    700000-0000-00000-000 , 0 as DebitAmount , 3000 as CreditAmount
    700100-0000-00000-000 , 0 as DebitAmount , 600 as CreditAmount

    I hope this makes sence.

    Thanks John

    • Victoria Yudin Reply October 29, 2009 at 5:15 am

      John,

      GP does not store distributions on a line item level, so that would not be easy to do. You could see what accounts were supposed to be used on each line item in SOP30300, but most of these could have been overridden on the document level before the transaction was posted and the changes would not show here. Also, certain things (for example commissions, taxes, etc.) will only have distributions at the summary/document level. But if you wanted to attempt this, I would use the SOP30300 table and the accounts on each line item and see what you come up with. Can I ask why you are looking for for something like this?

      -Victoria

      • John Reply October 29, 2009 at 9:13 am

        Thanks for you quick response.

        I was already under the impression that GP didn’t maintain the GL Distribution on Line Item level but I had to ask the expert ;-)

        Well, the company I work for has multiple Sales Branches and Sales Divisions. These all have different codes, Branches are hold in the third segment of the GL distribution where Divisions are in the second segment. Sometimes a sale is split into 2 SalesPersons one from branch A and one from branch B. The way finance post these sales in the SOP might be wrong but unfortunate I got to deal with it.

        Finance creates multiple line items for each SalesPerson.
        So going back to my previous example:
        FEE1 is for SalesPerson1 Branch A
        FEE2 is for SalesPerson2 Branch B

        I try to get the Branch and Division from the GL Distribution rather then some free text fields finance use in SOP30300.
        So, in the above example things might be easy to do, but when there are multiple items (Fee, expenses, other expenses etc) or the split is 50-50, it becomes rather difficult.

  116. Solomon Reply October 27, 2009 at 7:53 pm

    Hi Victoria,

    We are using partial shipments and I am facing issues in freight amount distribution. Let us assume, I have an sales order with 5 quantities with freight amount of $250. I have only 2 quantities on hand in inventory right now. I am allocating the sales order to for the available on hand 2 quantities. Now the order will have quantity ordered as 5 and allocated/ quantity to invoice as 2 and freight amount as $250. I am transferring this order to fulfillment document. The fulfillment document will be created successfully for the allocated 2 quantities. Since I have transferred only 2 quantities, the fulfillment document will have quantity 2 and original order will have remaining 3 (total quantity 5, previously invoiced 2 and quantity remaining 3). Also both document will be in SOP10100 and SOP10200. When I verify the freight amount, it is $250 for the order and $250 for the fulfillment document If I invoice both documents then customer is paying two times of the freight amount.
    Is there any way to do the following in GP
    1. Split the freight amount based on the allocated quantity while transferring? (Or)
    2. Have the freight amount only on the transferred fulfillment document? And have 0 on the original document after it was partially transferred,.

    Kindly advice.

    Thank you inadvance.
    Solomon

    • Victoria Yudin Reply October 28, 2009 at 10:06 am

      Hi Solomon,

      GP behaves in the following way:
      When you transfer an order to an invoice/fulfillment order there is a checkbox to Include Totals and Deposits. When this is checked, the entire deposit, freight amount, and any amounts other than the line items will come over to the invoice/fulfillment order in full the very first time that option is checked. If you transfer from the same order to the invoice/fulfillment order a second time, even if you check that box to Include Totals and Deposits again, nothing will come over to the second invoice/fulfillment order.

      The freight amount is still showing on the order because that’s how it was entered, so this is informational only at this point. Since you may need to show a record of what was on the order originally, I would think that most users would not want the freight amount to be removed from the original transaction. Just like you want to still see the total ordered by the customer, even though you have partially shipped the order.

      There is no way without a customization that GP would be able to do any kind of prorating/splitting up of the freight amount. And I would imagine this would be a pretty complicated customization, so I would not entertain this unless it was absolutely critical.

      Hope this helps.

I would verify that there is no issue on the SQL server, either with available disk space or any other errors/locks. If you have Payment Document Management enabled, disable it to see if that makes a difference. If there are any customizations or 3rd party products, disable them to see if that makes any difference. As a next step you can turn on the DEXSQL.log to see if there are any clues in there.

      Hello Akram & Victoria,

      I am having the exact same problem described by Akram and I am unable to post cash receipts.

      After receiving this error when trying to post a cash receipt, the outstanding cutomer balance for the selected customer is increased by the amount of the attempted payment. So, if the customer balance was $5,000 and we attempted to enter a cash receipt for $2,000, the error message is displayed and the customer balance becomes $7,000.

      The customer balance is only corrected again after i reconcile current customer information from the reconcile receivables amounts window.

      Please advise on how you have resolved this problem as our systems are currently suspended due to this error and I need to resolve this as soon as possible.

      Thanks & Regards,

      Ramy

        Hi Ramy/Victoria,

        Here is the script given by Mr. Mariano Gomez, to run against that company where i was facing the same issue…

        This resolved my problem….

        Hope this helps you too……

        You can try running the following script on your company database:

        /*Count : 1 */

        declare @cStatement varchar(255)

        declare G_cursor CURSOR for select ‘grant select,update,insert,delete on [' + convert(varchar(64),name) + '] to DYNGRP’ from sysobjects
        where (type = ‘U’ or type = ‘V’) and uid = 1

        set nocount on
        OPEN G_cursor
        FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement
        WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS -1)
        begin
        EXEC (@cStatement)
        FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement
        end
        DEALLOCATE G_cursor

        declare G_cursor CURSOR for select ‘grant execute on [' + convert(varchar(64),name) + '] to DYNGRP’ from sysobjects
        where type = ‘P’

        set nocount on
        OPEN G_cursor
        FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement
        WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS -1)
        begin
        EXEC (@cStatement)
        FETCH NEXT FROM G_cursor INTO @cStatement
        end
        DEALLOCATE G_cursor
        /* End of Script */

        Take Care…

          Thanks for sharing this. This is the GRANT script which will ensure that all the objects in your database have proper permissions for the GP DYNGRP role in SQL Server. If it fixed your problem then there was a database permission issue in your situation.

    I am dealing with data being imported into Great Plains with SCRIBE. One area that is causing a problem is with Credit Card orders. The Credit Card orders are paid immediatly so the invoice is closed. But if later a Credit is put through to reverse the invoice there is no open invoice for it to go against. The reverse Credit is showing as a history item rather then as an open item. I hope this makes sense and that you can suggest a way to handle the credit on credit cards. Other credits (not against credit cards) work fine.

    thanks

      Hi Larry,

      I do not have any experience with Scribe, so I cannot offer any advice for that, but as far as ‘vanilla’ GP is concerned, these would be entered as Returns with the credit card refund amount as a payment. Exactly the same as the invoices, except the transaction type is different.

  119. Brent Keilin Reply September 28, 2009 at 6:16 pm

    Hi Victoria,

    I wasn’t sure where to post this…under SOP or POP. I have a SOP type ‘Order’ that was linked to 2 Purchase Orders. All but one item was linked on the Order. I’m guessing when the order was created, the items weren’t in stock (except for the 1) so the QTY to Back Order = 1 and QTY to Deliver = 0. The Order was transferred to a Fulfillment Order/Invoice and the original Order remains open. Thus, an invoice was posted for just the one item and is now history. So, I have an open Order that is linked to a PO and the PO items have all been received and posted…as far as I can tell. The two POs show up in POP10100 and POP10110. In POP10100, the POSTATUS = 4 for both and the STATGRP = 1 for both. The two Receipts for these POs both show up in the history tables POP30300 and POP30310. Thus, I believe the Sales Order QTY to Back Order should = 0 and QTY to Deliver should = 1. However, this is not the case. Each time I try to change the value in one of these fields, I get the message “You can’t change the Billed Quantity because the quantities for this line item are committed to a purchase order”. We obviously want the link to remain intact, but what should we do next to allocate the received PO items to this Order so we can transfer it to a Fulfillment Order and Invoice? I’m open to all suggestions.

    Thanks so much in advance for your help.

    Brent

    • Victoria Yudin Reply September 29, 2009 at 4:12 am

      Hi Brent,

      My next step would be to try reconciling the SOP transaction to see if that changes the quantities. I would also recommend posting your question on the Dynamics GP newsgroup, there are a lot of very knowledgeable people monitoring it and they might have more experience with this.

    I would like now to use all 7 buckets….

    I have collected all the articles related to adding new aging buckets in reports using report writer…

    Can you please guide what steps should i follow to change aging periods in both modules.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply August 31, 2009 at 10:34 am

      Hi Akram,

      Typically the only thing you need to do is change the setup for both the payables and receivables modules and then run reconcile on both those modules. Fairly straightforward, except that you need to get all the users out before running reconcile and it might take some time depending on the size of your data. It’s always a good idea to test changes like this in a test environment if you have one available.

    On SOP10200, how/when are the qty fields populated? I’m trying to use report writer to customize a report and placing qtyonhnd into the report, but I keep getting 0. I did a quick query on the table, and sure enough SOP10200 is showing 0, even though I have many thousands of units in stock.

    • Victoria Yudin Reply July 3, 2009 at 4:51 am

      Mike,

      The QTYONHND field in SOP10200 is used for Returns – when you enter a return quantity the system asks where that quantity should go, the choices are On Hand, Returned, In Use, In Service or Damaged. If you are looking for Inventory Quantities on hand, use the IV00102 (item quantity master) table.

And frankly, if you can, I am not the right person to help with that, as I try to avoid Report Writer for anything except the simplest or cosmetic changes. I can absolutely tell you that this is possible using Crystal Reports, although depending on the complexity of your logic you may want to create a SQL stored procedure to use in Crystal.

    I am using odbc to integrate a shipping system with GP database. We are reading the SOP10100 table to get the ship to address. And we are writing back the shipment tracking number to the SOP10107 table. All works fine. But we want to delete the record in the SOP10107 table if the shipment is voided. We have not been able to delete the record. I have 2 questions.
    Is Deleting the record a sound process, or is there a better approach?
    The delete sql statement worked when using a db tool, but not in the program. Is there anything that I might be overlooking? (commit statements?, time between insert and delete?) We are stumped.

      From an application/logic standpoint, I don’t see any problem with deleting the tracking number out of SOP10107 if the shipment is voided. However, since I don’t code this stuff myself, I am really not the best person to help with why it’s not working for you. Perhaps you can post this in one of the GP newsgroups to see if anyone there can help you?

    There is really no other natural link between SOP and UPR tables that I can think of. If there are no SLPRSNID values set up, then you would probably need to find out from someone in your company that does the invoicing how you can tell what employee a particular invoice ‘belongs’ to. Write back with what they tell you and we’ll see if we can come up with something.

      William,

      So on each line of an SOP invoice you have a Salesperson ID that has an Employee ID set up on the Salesperson Maintenance window? If so, you’d want to use the SOP30300 table for the line item detail and link on the Salesperson ID (SLPRSNID) to the RM00301 table to get the Employee ID (EMPLOYID). Once you have the Employee ID, you can link on that to the UPR tables that you need.

      Hope that helps.

    This is an order that hasn’t been fulfilled, and since it appears as posted when we open it through SmartList, we don’t know how to do the invoicing.

    any ideas?

      It sounds like something has gone wrong with this sales order, but it is very difficult for me to give advice on this situation without looking at your data. At the very least I would suggest running Check Links on the Sales series and Reconcile on Sales Documents to see if either of those helps. If the order is still not appearing correctly, you may need to re-enter it to be able to fulfill and invoice it. For support in these types of situations I would look to your GP partner or GP Support, where they can look at your data and be better able to help you.

    It does help! But I need more help.

    My impression is that SOP10103 holds payments made at the time of purchase. When a SOP Invoice is charged to a customer’s account where can I find the payment records (Payment Date, Payment Type, Check Number, Credit Card Type, Amount)?

    Christian

    • Victoria Yudin Reply March 30, 2009 at 4:24 pm

      Christian,

      SOP10103 holds payments entered directly on SOP transactions. This is only valuable to you for unposted SOP transactions (those in SOP10100), since they will not be in the RM tables yet.

      Once SOP transactions are posted, they go to RM20101. Once paid and moved to history (via a manual process in GP) they will move to RM30101. Payments will also be stored in RM20101 and eventually RM30101, so either RM20101 or RM30101 will hold payment date, payment type, check number, and credit card. The apply ‘links’ between invoices and payments showing the amount applied from a payment to an invoice and the apply dates will be in RM20201 and RM30201. The payment will be the ‘apply from’ transaction and the invoice will be the ‘apply to’ transaction.

        Ah, such a helpful tidbit to Christian, and a great site in general. I learned what’s in a bunch of the SOP/RM tables from a few days of spelunking GP tables with the aid of the scant documentation in Feb. of this year.

        Our RM30101 table is empty. Is this normal? Are we not periodically doing a manual process that we ought to be? RM20101 is where the bulk of our transactions live.

        • Victoria Yudin Reply May 28, 2009 at 4:20 am

          John,

          If your RM30101 table is empty, I believe there may be 2 reasons: either you’re not set up to track any history for receivables transactions or you have never run the manual process to move paid receivables transactions to history (Tools > Routines > Sales > Paid Transaction Removal). Before running this process the first time, make sure you’re set to keep track of history, it would be very difficult to get it back once deleted.

    I typed that (CM20300) from memory and… well so much for my memory.

    I meant to reference SOP10301 where I am getting Payment Type, Check Number, Card Name, & Amount.

    I am looking to report on all SOP Invoices (Posted & Unposted).

    However, I will also report on posted SOP Invoices by SOP10100.PSTGSTUS = 2. I will exclude all voids by SOP10100.VOIDSTTS = 0 for both.

    Christian

    • Victoria Yudin Reply March 30, 2009 at 3:22 pm

      Christian,

      SOP10100 only holds unposted transactions and as soon as something is voided in SOP it moves to the historical tables. So no need to check for posting status or voids in SOP10100. You might want to take the approach of first creating 2 separate queries or views. One for all posted invoices, which will only require RM tables, since every posted SOP transaction will have a corresponding record in RM. Then separately, use SOP10100 and SOP10103 for unposted transactions. Once you’ve got that put together, you could look to combine them (if needed). Hope this helps get you started.

      I would strongly advise against importing SOP transactions directly into tables. There are existing tools, such as Integration Manager and eConnect that greatly reduce the amount of work needed and possible issues encountered when importing directly into tables. That said, I believe the basic information for an order would need to be imported into the SOP10100 and SOP10200 tables.

    I’m trying to get a list of posted oustanding invoices from GP based on the aging period. Instead of joining various tables like (SOP30200 & RM20101, etc.) based on Due Date, is there a table with ready calculation just like the Collection Management Window?

    • Victoria Yudin Reply February 19, 2009 at 7:56 am

      Nikki,

      Thanks for the kind words!

      If you wanted to get a current total balance for each customer, you could use the RM00103 table, which has the balance and a total for each aging bucket. One caveat with using this table – you need to run the Aging routine in GP for the buckets to be calculated correctly. If you need to show each transaction, then you have to use the RM20101 table. Make sure you’re excluding voids. And there is no need to use the SOP tables….anything posted in SOP will be in the RM tables. Hope that helps.

    There is no other way that GP internally supports to link the SOP and POP modules. Is it possible that your company is doing something different? Maybe there is a customization or they are entering the PO number in a user defined field on the Sales Order? Can you check with the users that are actually performing this linking? That may help track down exactly what they’re doing.

    Do you mean your Purchase Orders that you’ve linked to your Sales Orders? If so, the SOP-POP Link table is SOP60100. You will need to link to the orders on the following:
    SOPNUMBE
    SOPTYPE

    how can I link the SOP number to the PO number associated with the sales order?

  146. Victoria Yudin Reply November 5, 2008 at 6:23 pm

    Don,

    Deposits are not line item specific. They are entered against the entire order or invoice. If there are multiple deposits on one SOP transaction (for example, a $500 cash deposit and a $1000 credit card deposit) then, and only then, will there be multiple entries in the SOP10103 table with the same SOPNUMBE and SOPTYPE combination and you’ll see that the SEQNUMBR has different values.

    So, the answer is no, you do not include SEQNUMBR in the join. However, if you have multiple deposits against an order, you will get multiple lines in your results with the same order number, so you need to make sure you’re taking that into account in whatever grouping or totaling you’re doing.

    LEFT OUTER
    JOIN SOP10103 (nolock)
    ON SOP10200.SOPTYPE = SOP10103.SOPTYPE
    AND SOP10200.SOPNUMBE = SOP10103.SOPNUMBE

    QUESTION: Shouldn’t I include a sequence number (SEQNUMBR) in the join?

    Don,

    The original order (SOP type 2) always stays in the system. Once it’s completed (all line items fully transferred or cancelled or voided), the order moves from the SOP10100 and SOP10200 (work) tables to the SOP30200 and SOP30300 (history) tables. All the other data for the order (comments, lots, serial numbers, user-defined fields, etc.), stay in the same tables. For example – SOP10201 holds the lot and serial numbers for both work and history transactions. For the Invoice, a new transaction is created in the SOP10100 and SOP10200 tables with an SOP type of 3 and showing that the original type (ORIGTYPE) was 2, meaning Order, and what the order number was (ORIGNUMB) so it can be traced back.

    I enjoy your SOP table layout, Victoria, and have been using it to try to track the flow of data as I process orders. Can you please tell me what tables are affected when I use the Sales TRX Entry window to transfer an order to be invoiced? Does SOPTYPE change from 2 to 3?

    Regards, Don Cooper
