We have a transaction in the RM20101 table where the ORTRXAMT says 8319.71 but the CURTRXAM says 16639.42. The sales transactions all say 8319.71 we don’t know how/why it says 16639.42. The GL has 8319.71. I tried a reconcile and that didn’t fix it and the aged trial balance seems to be correct. My thought was to update the CURTRXAM to the ORTRXAMT on the backend and then run a reconcile. Would this be the correct action?

Hi Victoria, I’m using two tables to pull some Project Accounting information. My issue is that I don’t have a time stamp that I can use to look for updates to database rows.

Hi Charlie,
If you don’t want to check an entire tables for changes every time, you can create an UPDATE trigger and track the changes in a new table. It can be as simple as a time stamp and a project number. Then only update the records that have been updated based on the data in your new table.

Hi Victoria, I’ve got another question for you: is it possible to print batches by number of line items per order?

Hi Tom,
I am thinking this would require more than one pass through the data and the GP out-of-the-box Report Writer can only make a single pass through the data. So I am not sure this is possible without some kind of separate customization. This kind of requirement can be accomplished in Crystal Reports or SSRS pretty easily, but you would then most likely need an add-on product to print your SOP documents. Something like our GP Reports Viewer.

Tom,
That’s what I had in mind when I mentioned as a possible ‘separate’ customization. You could do your calculations in SQL, but then you would somehow need to let Report Writer know to use that as the sorting for the report. I do not know how to accomplish that with Report Writer, so you may want to talk to Dynamics GP Support or your GP partner to see how/if this can be accomplished.

Good morning Victoria,
I recently posted a question in the GPUG MS Dynamics GP forum and Ms. Leslie Vail, CPA, MVP, MCT, MCITP, MCP, MCITS pointed me in your direction. Here is my question…
Product: MSGP 2010 SP3 version 11.00.2197, Dexterity version 11.00.0359.00 running on SQL Server 2008 R2
I am a Programmer/Analyst that supports MSGP for my company of 600+ employees. I’m looking for some help in developing an SQL Query that will show the PA User Class Security Setup for each user. On the front-end this is access via Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Setup >> Project >> User [User Project Accounting Settings]. There are (9) sub-forms with User Settings information that needs to be captured as well: Project, Timesheet, Equipment Log, Miscellaneous Log, Employee Expense, Purchase Order, Purchasing Invoice, Inventory and Billing.
A majority of the information is retained in Tables PA01501 and PA40401, but I need help translating the 0, 1, 2 codes–I understand that it indicates yes/no, checked/unchecked or a drop-down selection, but not what number is associated with which option. There is what I call the “manual method” which is going screen-by-screen and mapping it myself, but I’d rather not recreate the wheel if I don’t have to.
We have identified a gap in our MSGP Security Matrix around Project Accounting User Classes and I was tasked with filling it in. Information on the Dynamics GP Project Accounting Tables is very limited and I would appreciate whatever assistance or resources anyone can offer. I would rank my SQL Query writing at a solid Intermediate skill-level.

Hi Victoria,
I am trying to pull all the related data about an inventory transfer out of a GP 2010 database using the eConnect_Out_Setup table. I’ve done this for other documents but I’m having trouble locating all the related data for transfers. I think the difference between saving a transfer and posting the transfer might also be confusing me. Here’s the current SQL that I’m using just to find the data:
/* this has posted batches, not saved ones, seems to show the destination location */
SELECT * FROM [TWO].[dbo].[IV10200] where RCPTNMBR = ‘00000000000000070 ‘
/* this has posted batches, not saved ones, seems to show the source location */
SELECT * FROM [TWO].[dbo].[IV10201] where ORIGINDOCID = ‘00000000000000070 ‘
/* this has the batch record */
SELECT * FROM [TWO].[dbo].[IV30200] where DOCNUMBR = ‘00000000000000070 ‘ and IVDOCTYP = 3
/* looks like this is going to have some basic transfer info */
SELECT * FROM [TWO].[dbo].[IV30300] where DOCNUMBR = ‘00000000000000070 ‘ and DOCTYPE = 3
I know I’ll need to join those to make a singular query, but I am not sure how they work together and if I’m missing a major part of a transfer. I hope this all makes sense, thanks for any help.

I am not sure I would use the IV10200 and IV10201 tables. If you need the unposted transactions, I would use the IV1000 and IV10001 tables. It’s somewhat difficult to answer your question without know what you are tracking for your inventory items and what information you need to pull. For example, are you using bins? Serial or lot numbers? If so, you need to add additional tables. Do you need the GL accounts and amounts or just the line items? As a simple example, if all you wanted was the line items, quantities and locations, you could do something like this:

Dynamics GP does not keep track of who creates ‘apply records’ by default. So if you do not have something additional set up to track this, you cannot find this information for what has been done in the past. If you want to have this information available for the future, you could create a SQL trigger (probably easier and cheaper for tracking just a few things) or install a product like Audit Trails (better if you want to track a lot of different information).

Extender is a separate module that needs to be both purchased and installed. Extender is definitely a good way to get additional data into GP. Another option may be using the Notes in GP.

Changing the registration keys from BE to AM will not impact any of your existing data.

Only Microsoft would be able to answer this with 100% certainty.

Remember the goal of the trial is to get you to buy the most licensing, so everything that can be activated in there, will be.

Hi Greg,
The recommended SQL settings specifically for GP are in my book – in Chapter 5 under the “SQL Server and database settings” section. For your other question – you have run into the exact reason why I do not ever recommend SQL Express for GP – even if you had a script to create SQL jobs for routine maintenance and backups, you cannot run them without SQL Server Agent and that is not part of SQL Express. For small installs I usually recommend SQL Server Workgroup Edition – the server license with 5 user CALs retails for $799. With 4 concurrent users and a 4GB+ database this is a pretty reasonable price for the added functionality, including SQL Server Agent, SSRS, the ability to use more than 1GB of RAM and more than 1 CPU.

Just want to tap off your experience regarding upgrades. I am starting my planning to upgrade to 2010 R2 from v10. I did the upgrade from v8 to v10 in 2008. I know 2012 may be out end of this year or next, but given a 6 month first SP patch, I don’t want to wait that long for the next upgrade for the site. Anyway, I currently run with no prob on a dual 2.0 Ghz Xeon quad-core and 4 GB ram, but it is now out of warranty. Current OS is 2003 Std with 2005 SQL Std. I will be going to another dual-quad but thinking at least 8 GB ram and it will be on 2008 R2 Std Server and SQL. I am also doing 3 mirror drive pairs @ 300GB each 15K rpm. Should be more than enough room. Those will be on a Dell PERC H700 RAID card with 512MB cache. For the small 22 licenses, I would expect that to be more than enough capacity but wanted to see what you think. Also know issues with going 64bit for this for OS or SQL. Our workstations are all 32bit Win7, 4GB RAM (3.2~ usable).

Allen,
We have done a number of upgrades this year to a similar configuration – GP 2010 R2, Windows Server 2008 Standard R2 64-bit, SQL 2008 R2. No known issues that we have seen. Desktops being 32-bit is no problem. The server spec sounds good, we typically buy/sell Dell as well, so I know they work well with GP. 🙂 The only thing I might question is the drive configuration – a RAID 5 or 10 is usually recommended for SQL, unless I misunderstood what you meant by ‘mirror drive pairs’. For 22 users you should be fine with 8GB RAM, and with 64-bit and any of the Dell servers you will be able to add more RAM easily if you need to in the future. If you are looking to do this soon, plan to wait a while for the server (maybe 4 weeks instead of the usual 1), the 300GB 15k drives from Dell seem to be one of the models impacted by a hard drive shortage they expect to continue until about April.
-Victoria
LikeLike
So I have been thinking about your comments on RAID configuration. It comes down to what is most important I guess between performance gains from separation of tasks to performance gains from RAID5 over RAID1. With the Dell server, I have but 6 drive slots (3″ 15K rpm) available in the current configuration. I would have to do a different model to go above that with 2.5″ 10K rpm SAS drives. Drive performance goes down slightly with the 2.5s compared to the 3″. Now, all of this is on the same RAID card, but the drives themselves will be tasked differently. Plan is 2 drives mirrored for OS to separate it. Then I will have 2 drives mirrored for the transaction logs, and 2 drives mirrored for the database. This way logs and data are not on the same and the type of activity is different and should theoretically not have the drive arm bouncing between the different activity types. So, this separates for better recovery options and should aid performance by separation of the duties of the drive set. Now, I do acknowledge that RAID5 has faster read capability than RAID1 but generally has been stated for slower write performance. My current config uses this 3 mirrors methodology and has been ok. I do wonder at times though if it would be faster otherwise, but as stated, to have 3 drive arrays I would have to go to the 2.5’s and do 2 mirrors and either a second mirror for logs and 4 disk R5 for database (given more drives in R5 = faster read) or do 2 R5 arrays with 3 drives each. The 2.5″ drive option allows for 8 drives. But that also significantly increases my cost as the equivalent drives in capacity/performance are more than double that of the 3″ drives. I am unsure if my performance gained will be noticed for the money spent. Anyway, short of doing both and bench marking, I am somewhat guessing anyway. You know?
LikeLike
Allen,
Let me just start out by saying that this particular question is not something I am an expert in, I am much more proficient in the GP application and data, not so much the hardware aspect of it. I would consider posting a question on some of the GP forums about it or maybe even a SQL forum.
That said, realistically I don’t know if anyone can give you a definite answer on this without knowing more about your SQL usage because it should really depend on the type of activity you have. For example, if there is a lot more inquiry or report generation, then read is much more important. On the other hand, if you import a lot of data and have a high volume of transactions in general, write may be more important.
For what it’s worth, we have not had any issues with a RAID 1/RAID 5 (2 drives/4 drives) configuration. I can’t think of a single server I personally have worked on that has a 3 sets of mirrored drives. Again, just sharing what my experience has been, not saying it’s wrong. I would also think that the faster drives are more important for SQL Server, so I would go with 15k over 10k if possible. Another consideration would be the controller – I believe you can increase the cache to 1GB for not so much more on the H700.

There, on my install of GP 2010, I see the Go To button and it takes me to the Inventory Available to Promise Inquiry window.
The nice part about this being on the Items window is that it’s accessible anywhere that you have an Item Number field with a lookup button.

Hi Victoria,
I was wonder if you had any good resources for MRP in GP 2010. I have been asked to import our sales deparments forcast. After converting it from the stone tablets that sales uses because they think Excel is an energy drink!!!
Thanks

Hi Victoria,
I have GP2010 installed on a Test environment so I play around. I notice that within Cash Receipt module, there’s no ‘Additional menu’ for add-ons application. Did I miss anything? Could you kindly advise.
Best Regards,

Hi Nikki,
The Additional menu only shows up when required. The ‘out-of-the-box’ Cash Receipts Entry window does not have an Additional menu. If you’re comparing it to another version that does, what is on that menu? Is there a 3rd party product or customization that is not installed on your GP 2010?

I successfully downloaded the new media and successfully installed at a test server. Regarding the download, what would be the differences if any with the one on-coming in the CD ?As i have ordered one and am waiting.
I also realized that unlike the previous versions it does not specify whether it’s a server or client platform i.e. the earlier versions would allow you to choose either Server of Client check boxes during installation.
I would appreciate more information regarding the above.

Hi Charles,
I do not have the GP 2010 CD (most likely it will be a DVD), but I would not expect there to be any difference from the download. Unlike most other Microsoft software, GP licensing is not tied to the media, at least for now, so the only thing I can think of is that there may be an autorun function, which is really not a big value add. I know some companies still like to have have physical media for all software, but I think having to pay additionally for it will start being a deterrent to many.
Also, one nice feature of the downloads is that MS seems to be posting them up with the SP included pretty quickly – so there is already a GP 2010 with SP 1 download available. I am not sure how quickly the DVDs / CDs will catch up to that.
As you have noticed, there is no longer a Server/Client option during the install of GP 2010. Since the only difference between these was an additional folder that got installed with tools and since there was so much confusion generated by not being able to create new GP companies from computers where only the Client install was performed for older versions, it looks like Microsoft has taken that choice out of the installation options and now it’s the same install everywhere. I personally think this is a great idea.
Hope that helps,
-Victoria
