So that’s so relieving to know that we do not have to wait to get a compatible Microsoft Dynamics Connector for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013.
The current version V2 RU2 supports Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 already. Check out this post on official Connector blog: Connector for Microsoft Dynamics V2 RU2 supports Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013.

Microsoft Dynamics GP Support & Services blog has given the two direct upgrade paths, in case you are looking for: Upgrade Paths to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013!
Quite crucial information that we must remember.

My comeback post MUST have to be this.
Microsoft announced the general public availability of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 RTM on 19th December 2012. This has been the biggest release yet, with more than 140 new features. ONE single feature that stands out of all is GP Web Client.
Below are the posts covering this release:
David Musgrave: Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Released to Manufacturing, Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 now available for download.
Mariano Gomez: Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Released to Manufactuting (RTM)
Mark Polino: Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 is now available!
Second link against David’s name would lead you to links to Dynamics GP 2013 RTM downloads (both from PartnerSource and CustomerSource).
I have started preparing to take my company on to the new version. Excited to say the least. Will share each and every interesting & critical upgrade information as and when I progress.

Thanks a bunch to Victoria for her critical post regarding Microsoft discontinuing direct sales of Extender (Standard) module.
Read her post from here, Big announcement for Microsoft Dynamics GP’s Extender module, as I do not wish to brief the contents further.
I was kind of shocked/surprised when I read it. Not long ago, Microsoft did the same thing to two other modules; Audit Trails and Electronic Signatures. But as Jen Kuntz from Kuntz Consulting put it, Extender has a wider and a successful reach than the other two. This module is quite brilliant for 100% codeless customization option for all customers.
Got to wait and see how this would go with customers.

The first feature published on this series is the Inventory Transaction Reason Codes. You have a nicely made small PPT presentation attached which explains this new feature.
My Opinion:
It’s certainly a welcome feature after all, though it’s not a game changer altogether.
I used to instruct my clients to enter a note on every IV adjustment passed, be it a positive adjustment or a negative one. And most of them (99% to be precise) have not followed it. They simply do not want to reason those adjustments, however genuine it might be. Later when auditing happens, they would run around to figure out why exactly they posted those entries.
With this, at least, we have an option to classify each adjustment meaningfully and take a stock of such entries. Auditors would also be happy to know about it.
Question(s): Is this Reason Code a MANDATORY for each adjustment? If not, then the purpose is lost.
Let’s wait and see.

David Musgrave has posted on his blog about Technology Adoption Program (TAP) for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013.
Partners can nominate their customers who satisfy the criteria of TAP. Customers those who would like to get nominated may want to contact their Partners.
The idea behind this program is to identify those customers who are ready and willing to test Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Beta, deploy GP 2013 on their production environment (with MSFT support, of course) and work closely with Microsoft to mold GP 2013 before it reaches the RTM release.
But, customers who are outside North America won’t be able to participate in this program. Microsoft is specifically looking for customers who are from North America.
More information can be read from David’s post (link given in the beginning of this post).

Microsoft had released the System Requirements for Dynamics GP 2013, that includes GP Web Client requirements as well. The system requirements page can be found here: System Requirements for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013.
While I leave it to you to get informed about entire details, it’s worth to brief you about what are NOT supported:
So start planning for the future of GP.

With some examples, Rushi Patel explains us about how the Web Client ribbon is customized for our real time needs.
Read it here at Developing For Dynamics GP blog post: Dynamics GP Developer Insights – Web Client Window Ribbon Part 2.
I am more excited to get my hands on GP 2013 development after reading such posts. It’s going to be delightful.

Rushi Patel, from Microsoft Dynamics GP Team in Fargo, has started a new series of posts on Developing For Dynamics GP blog that would shed some light on upcoming Dynamics GP in terms of underlying technologies and how its developed.
First post, Web Client Window Ribbon Part 1, talks about default Ribbon Rules that are followed in developing the web client window ribbon.
Awesome posts ahead.

UPDATE: Now that I have reached the fag end of 1-Apr-2012, I thought I would just update this post saying that the following post was just an AF post. So just sit back and relax. Happy AF Day!
Awesome. That’s an interesting and also surprising fact about Dynamics GP 2013.
David’s post, reveals that Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 is going to use Ctree as primary Database platform.
Microsoft’s strategy is getting extremely clear with this fact. It’s going to be low cost, platform independent and more, if I have understood this correctly. 🙂
Below are some very important advantages, as explained by David:
I want you all to read his post fully to understand the significance of this.
