GP Upgrade – “Please Select a Company” Message

Posted on by

This one’s quite simple, yet intriguing.

I am working on a test upgrade; from GP2010 to GP 2015 R2. I decided to only take production company databases and left all test companies, for all logical reasons.

After applying GP 2010 SP4, I decided to perform a unit testing. After logging in to GP, I received following message, without having any issues later on. It was just this message:

Company Message

As a thumb rule, I searched on GP community and stumbled across two most relevant forum questions and suggestions.

  1. Please select a company message after company has been selected and logged into
  2. Dynamics GP 2015R2 Upgrade – Please select a company

None of them is answered.

I had a suspicion that this must be something to do with “Remember this company” option on “User and Company” window. I decided to use GP Power Tools (previously Support Debugging Tool – SDT) and SQL profiler to study this message in depth.

As suspected, results pointed to the option “Remember this company”. Now, if you remember what I said earlier, I took only the production companies for test upgrade and not the test companies. Previous consultant who was working with this client had selected a test company as his (SA’s) default company.

Now, you must also recollect that we have a SQL script to clean up missing companies’ affiliation across DYNAMICS database.

I ran the above script on the test environment and logged on to GP. This time, I was required to select a company and the message never appeared back.

Happy troubleshooting!

Choosing a Development Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP

Posted on by

Microsoft had published a white paper on choosing a development tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP, at the time of GP 2010 release.

Though it’s pretty old, it’s still valid even now to refer to this white paper.

Download it here: Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 White Paper – Choosing a Development Tool

Soon, we would all be getting ready for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 and I am sure, this white paper would still be valid. 🙂

Prevent Users from Keying Incorrect Document Dates in GP 2010

Posted on by

Awesome tool and I would say, its need of the hour.

Now, I read this post on Microsoft Dynamics GP Support Blog on a tool that comes with Professional Services Tools Library (PSTL) to Prevent Users from Keying Incorrect Document Dates in GP 2010.

But unfortunately, scope of this tool is limited to following transaction entries:

  1. Payables Transaction Entry
  2. Receivables Transaction Entry
  3. Invoice Entry
  4. PM Manual Payment Entry
  5. SOP Entry
  6. IV Transaction Entry
  7. Cash Receipts Entry

I would have expected this to have even more reach, especially on POP side. Today, just today, I received a bunch of PO Invoices being posted on a wrong date. I would have loved to have this tool on my environment had this covered much more types of transactions.

However, this is still very good than reinventing this by developers or partners.

Dynamics GP 2010 is compatible with SQL Server 2012

Posted on by

Mariano, in his new post, confirms that Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 is compatible with SQL Server 2012. The post also has got links to both CustomerSource and PartnerSource.

This is a good news, since SQL Server 2012 will precede Dynamics GP 2013, which means customers would be first upgrading their SQL Server first.

SQL Server 2012 has got tremendous amount of features that are going to be crucial in future.

So let’s gear up for some serious upgrades.
