Performance Issue with Received/Not Invoiced Report in POP

Posted on by

Angela Ebensteiner (Technical Lead, Microsoft Dynamics) share a fix on Microsoft Dynamics GP Support blog for the performance issue with Received Not Invoiced report in Purchase Order Processing (POP).

To brief you here on why this performance issue occur, it’s because of huge pile of PO records staying on POP open tables, even after they are closed. When you run the report, it goes through each and every record on POP open table, due to which you got to wait for some time till query processing finishes.

Fix is to remove completed POs from open tables to history, which we have a standard utility available in GP.

Adding more comment lines to POP Purchase Order – Mariano

Posted on by

Mariano’s latest post explains how to add more comment lines to POP Purchase Order report. The idea is to split the comment text into 80 characters sized fields and then displaying it on separate report sections. I leave you here so you could refer to this awesome piece of post from Mariano. It’s a step-by-step guide on how to do this.

David, way back in 2011, demonstrated a similar approach on his post about adding more comment lines on SOP Documents. It’s worth to remind that post now.

Dynamic Future – Vote a Feature on Microsoft Connect

Posted on by

Mark Polino, after his uber-successful ways of informing the community about many things in Microsoft Dynamics GP, has found one more brilliant way to hook us on to Microsoft Connect (portal where we can voice our feedback about a Microsoft product).

It’s simply this: Every Tuesday, Mark would link us to a feature feedback on Microsoft Connect portal, which require Dynamics GP End Users/Consultants/Developers to vote for it, so it would be worked upon by Microsoft and would get released on subsequent major releases of this product.

Starting with May 1st, 2012, he has already pointed out two features that cry for our attention and vote:

May 1st, 2012: Unit Account should have the option to clear at Year End

May 8th, 2012: Management Reporter should allow each column to have it’s own current rate

And many more to come.

Stay tuned to his blog for future Dynamic Future posts.

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.
