It’s now become a little tradition of mine to sit in front of the computer when I get up on New Year’s Day, sipping coffee and checking my email…hoping that I once again can write a little blog post like this one. I just got that email I was waiting for, letting me know that […]

3 Comments
Introduction: This blog post is written by my friend and colleague Mickie Stamm. Mickie is a fabulous Dexterity, SQL and application developer and is one of the great minds behind GP Reports Viewer. By Mickie Stamm: In the last GP Reports Viewer newsletter I wrote about using rectangles as containers in SQL Server Reporting Services […]
Continue reading Voiding a partially applied Payables transaction in Dynamics GP
October 11, 2012 20 Comments
Periodically I get calls or see questions online about how to void a partially applied Payables transaction in Dynamics GP. This is one area where the Payables module differs drastically from the Receivables module and you have to jump through some hoops to actually accomplish this. The issue is that when you go to void […]
Continue reading Big announcement for Microsoft Dynamics GP’s Extender module
October 8, 2012 23 Comments
Last week, while searching for something on Microsoft’s PartnerSource, I came across an announcement that Microsoft is discontinuing sales of the Extender module and that both sales and support of Extender will revert back to eOne Solutions, the original developer of Extender, starting February 1, 2013. Please note that eOne has always sold a more […]
Continue reading SQL view for rolling 12 months of sales by item in Dynamics GP
August 27, 2012 15 Comments
Rolling twelve month reports are not always very easy to create, and I have been seeing more requests for them, so I thought I would show an example of one way to do this. The view below is a variation of my sales by item by month view, however instead of specifying all months in […]
Continue reading SQL view for Variable Allocation Accounts in Dynamics GP
August 23, 2012 10 Comments
Below is a view that will return a list of the distribution and breakdown accounts for all active variable allocation accounts in your Dynamics GP. Nothing fancy, but sometimes it is easier to have a report of these rather than have to look at them on the screen, specially since you have to click on […]
Continue reading SQL view for commissions details in Dynamics GP
July 19, 2012 14 Comments
Commissions are typically difficult to create generic reports for, as many companies have unique commission structures. We find that out-of-the-box functionality in GP does not really work for most companies and often the commissions are recorded in ways other than what was intended. That said, if you find that you are using the commissions functionality […]
Continue reading Dynamics GP SOP line items with serial numbers and comments
June 4, 2012 21 Comments
Based on some reader requests, this new view is a combination of my All SOP Line Items view and the recently posted script showing how to get a concatenated list of serial numbers in SQL. This new view will return all posted (history) or unposted (open) Sales Order Processing line items with the associated serial numbers (or lot numbers). […]
Continue reading Using Lookups in GP Reports Viewer to make parameter selection more user friendly
May 31, 2012 3 Comments
One of the critical elements in reporting is parameter selection. During report creation it is essential to make sure that the proper parameters are added to the report to correctly filter on the data the users want to see. However, it doesn’t just stop there. To ensure user friendly reports it is also very important […]

May 12, 2012 5 Comments
Almost on a daily basis I find myself looking for things like system requirements, end of support dates, build numbers and downloads for the various products that I work with. Even though search engines have greatly improved over the last few years, I still often struggle to find this information. While I consider myself to […]
Continue reading SQL view for sales quantities by customer by item by year
March 9, 2012 12 Comments
Seems like no many how many variations of sales reports there are, people will always want more. I recently had a request for something similar to my view for sales quantities by item by year, but also adding in the customer. Below is code for a view to accomplish this. This view makes a number of […]
Continue reading Emailing SOP invoices in GP 2010 made easy with GP Reports Viewer
February 29, 2012 11 Comments
Background / The Problem For many companies a long awaited new feature introduced with Dynamics GP 2010 was the ability to email SOP (Sales Order Processing) invoices directly from GP. Many of our customers have started to offer emailing of invoices to their customers and are seeing an increased number of requests for emailed invoices. However, […]

February 2012 is Microsoft Dynamics Mayhem month over at Packt Publishing, the publishers of my Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Implementation book. What does this mean for you? If you have been waiting to pick up a copy of any of the Dynamics books (this includes GP, CRM, AX, NAV and even Sure Step), this is the […]
Continue reading SQL view for current Receivables aging in Dynamics GP
January 25, 2012 71 Comments
I have created a variation on my view that shows all unapplied Receivables transactions to show customer aging in buckets. This is only looking at functional currency and will return data in summary, meaning one row per customer with a balance. I am hard-coding the aging using the default aging setup installed with GP, which is aging by […]
Continue reading SQL view for sales quantities by item by year
January 23, 2012 32 Comments
Ever since I published my view for sales by item by year I started receiving requests for the same type of view showing quantities instead of amounts. There are two ways of doing this, once from inventory and another from sales. Hard to say which is the best, as I have seen arguments for both, […]
Continue reading SQL view for customer yearly totals in Dynamics GP
January 9, 2012 35 Comments
As a follow up to my SQL view for vendor yearly totals, here is something similar for customers. I have combined sales less credits/returns in one column, please take a look at the notes above the code (on lines 5 through 16 below) to see more details about the logic I am using. The code […]
Continue reading SQL view for vendor yearly totals in Dynamics GP
January 4, 2012 20 Comments
There has been a lot of talk lately about the year end close Payables and Receivables. I feel like I have spent the last week or two justifying my reasoning for not needing to perform the year end close for Payables and Receivables to many of my customers and blog readers. (For more on this, […]
