  1. Hi – I searched your site, but I don’t know where to post this question! I am trying to convert my CSV Book ID into a mac file in Fixed Assets. It works perfectly, except for one annoying problem. The Averaging Convention translates from the CSV just fine, except for assets with a 39 year life. THOSE come across with those two relevant lines missing, even thought the source file includes them. My GP support partners have no idea.

  2. Hi Victoria, I am told “The World Online” is a company I can add to my GP environment for 3rd party product testing. But I cannot find a thing about this online. The only thing I saw was to create a test company called TWOL. Is this really what is needed? I already have a TEST company. Does it have to be named TWOL to work? Thanks in advance for any insight you may have! As always, THANK YOU!

    • Hi Gene,

      The World Online was the name of the sample company included with Dynamics GP many many years ago. Today it is called Fabrikam. If someone is talking to you about The World Online they have not worked with GP for a long time.

      As far as testing ISV products, each one is going to be different and will have a different answer for how to best test it. If you’re not 100% comfortable and confident of what something will do and the impact on the rest of GP, I would recommend not installing it into your production GP environment. Even when using a test company, something installed can easily impact all other companies in GP.

      • As always, you are a life saver. I guess I am glad I didn’t find any info. I would have gone in the wrong direction. As you say… Always test in a test environment! Thank you!

  3. Hi Victoria….

    Many thanks for your past help….+

    I have created a new company and have as far as I’m aware completed all relevant setups and now when capturing a PM transaction I get the following message :” A valid exchange rate could not be found. Choose continue to open the Exchange Rate Entry window, where you can enter or select a valid rate.” by doing this GP allows me to choose the rate, this to me indicates that the rate is valid if I’m able to choose it. Is there a setup that I’m missing somewhere

    Many thanks

  4. Victoria,

    Do you know where I can find a User Guide or help on the embedded PSTL? The link above (for customers) is dead. The two manuals I did find on-line are GG10 and GP 2010. I’m currently using GL 2015 R2. Many thanks!

    • Mark,

      This could be caused by many things, very difficult to say without looking at your environment. I would start with restarting the computer where the user was getting this error, then going back in to see if the user is able to post.

  6. Victoria,

    I entered an invoice via enter/match invoicing in the Purchasing module, but had a typo and increased the item cost from $2 to $20. This caused an increase in inventory by a lot. The invoice was then voided and reentered in the AP module, but was not corrected in the Inventory module, which caused a difference between the inventory balance and the inventory subledger. What would be the best way to correct this error without causing further issues? Thanks in advance

    • Hi Diane,

      You should be able to fix the inventory cost with the Adjust Cost utility (Tools | Utilities | Inventory | Adjust Costs). If you’re not familiar with this functionality, I would do some testing in a test company first to make sure it will do what you need.

  7. Victoria,

    I’m a developer and I’m making a web application that needs to insert data into the Applicant and Employee database tables in GP. I’d like to use the stored procedures that come with GP to do this. I’m finding that running SQL Profiler to find out what stored procedures are called for each part of the application process and new hire process is quite time consuming and tedious. Is there a reference document out there that lists out which stored procedures are called for which actions in GP and what their expected input parameters are? Thanks.

  8. Hi Victoria
    I am about to develop a big app for Dynamics GP (Manufacturing for several fishing companies), the main question is, should I make it as a windows App or a Web App? Is it true that the next version of GP is going to be web? like CRM?
    Please give me your advise.
    Thank you very much

  9. Hi Victoria, Thanks for you help in the past. I have a problem with some 1099 vendors. These vendors started out the year as 1099 vendors and in the middle were changed to non 1099 vendors. I have changed their status and using the summary page removed the amts in 1099 box. When I run the 1099s the vendors are still appearing on the list to recieve 1099s. How can I remove them? Thanks again

    • Hi Jeanne,

      It sounds like you didn’t remove the 1099 amounts from all the right places. I do not believe this can be done on the yearly summary page, I think you would need to delete the 1099 amounts for each period. This may depend on the GP version, so if you still need more help, please let me know what GP version you’re on.
