SQL view for unposted checks in Dynamics GP

I have been asked more than a few times for a script that shows uposted checks and their apply detail. This can be helpful to replace the Check Batch Edit List report, which is universally hated by all GP users I have spoken to. create view view_unposted_check_batch as — ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ […]

Updating Dynamics GP data directly in SQL

I would like to start by saying that I do not normally advocate updating Dynamics GP data directly in SQL Server. Most of the things you need to do should be handled either inside the Dynamics GP application or with integration tools like Integration Manager or eConnect. This is especially true of transactional data and […]

Did you know you can change Void dates on Payables transactions?

I often surprise people by telling them to change the void dates when they void Payables transactions in Dynamics GP. If you’re voiding something that was just entered, leaving the defaulted dates is usually fine. However, when you are voiding an old check because you’re going to re-issue it, you typically want to void using the same date as the […]

I had an interesting request the other day – how do you show the top 10 (or 20) percent of vendor payments (or invoices) for a particular date range? This is something that has to be done in a several steps – first you have to get your data, then summarize of it, then calculate the top […]

Dynamics GP hosting – a great experience with RoseASP

I recently had a great experience that I would like to share. We have a client that was on a very old version of Dynamics GP (8.0), very old version of SQL (2000) a very, very old server (going on 10 years), and outsourced IT. Long story short, their server went down, they lost 2 out of the 3 […]

SQL stored procedure for all open AR transactions by customer name

A little variation on my Unapplied AR Transactions view, this SQL stored procedure will return all open (unapplied) receivables transactions for customers with a name containing what is supplied as the parameter.

SQL view to verify unposted SOP transaction totals in Dynamics GP

Over the years we have seen a number of situations where a sales transaction total will be calculated incorrectly. It does not happen often and we’ve never been able to reproduce this on demand, so it’s very difficult to track down the cause for this. I have also seen a number of newsgroup posts talking […]

Identify what modules your Dynamics GP sales data originates in

I have posted a lot of queries for getting sales totals from the Sales Order Processing module. However, many companies also enter transactions directly in the RM (Receivables Management) module. In that case, if you need to see the data from both of these sources, you may need to take a slightly different approach to […]

SQL script for comparing voids between RM and SOP in Dynamics GP

How do we find transactions that were voided in the Receivables Management (RM) module, but not in Sales Order Processing (SOP)? This question has come up few a times on newsgroups and also with our customers. Most recently there was a question on the Dynamics GP Community Forum about this. The script below is a slightly cleaned […]

Assign sequential numbers in SQL Server

Here is a cool little SQL Server tip from the April GP Reports Viewer newsletter. Say you have a list of rows and you want to assign sequential numbers to them, so that you always know which one is first, second, etc. Or so that you can display line numbers. This is often a need […]
