GP2013 – Purchase Invoice Inquiry Zoom Bug (Change)

Posted on by

I received a strange support request today from one of my users that PO number is not shown fully on Purchase Invoice Inquiry Zoom window. Just tried to inquire some purchase invoices myself and I got what she mentioned:

Snip20130807_12

 

If you see above highlighted PO number, it’s not shown fully. This will be the case only if you use GP’s standard PO number sequence or used entire PO length of 17 characters.

When I checked it on Modifier, I found a nice little icon sitting right next to PO number field, but overlapping it by some millimeters.

Snip20130807_11

This icon denotes whether the PO line item is Drop-Ship or not.

And boy, isn’t that icon looks cute? But unintentionally, it is overlapping on PO number field. Not sure how folks at GP dev team skipped this.

Solution to this issue? Modifier. Use modifier to resize the field, till we get this fixed by GP dev team.

Adding Customer Item User-defined Fields to SOP Invoice – Mariano

Posted on by

Another excellent post up there on Mariano’s blog, which explains how to add customer item user-defined fields to SOP invoice.

The customization is done using Support Debugging Tool (SDT) to achieve this.

There is an interesting point which Mariano mentions there, which is not about the topic itself, but about how clients have started demanding things from us, consultants, which shows how much clients are aware nowadays.

Modifier with VBA would have been the BEST and easy option for any developer or consultant for this functionality. But looks like the client was strictly against it because *it’s not supported on Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client*. 🙂

But that demand indeed had led to another superb piece of customization using SDT.

GP Login Form – Caps Lock Reminder – UPDATE

Posted on by

This post is an update to my previous article, CapsLock Reminder for GP Login.

In my previous article, I had shared a package which would remind you of Caps Lock being switched on.

This warning will be shown as soon as you either launch GP or try to change the User after your first login.

I thought I would tweak it so that it would show this warning when you enter Password Field. And that makes more sense than showing it right after opening the GP Login form.

So please find that updated package here: CapsLockReminder-Update.package.

Caps Lock Reminder for GP Login

Posted on by

How many times have you entered your GP Password with CAPSLOCK on and got a Login Error Message?

Well I do, most times. I decided to write a code which would remind me of this at least once, like any other application.

Thought I would share that with all who need it. This particular code will display a message box like below when you launch GP with CAPSLOCK key ON.

This message will also be shown when you try to change the User after logged on to GP thru’ different User Credential.

Kindly Note:

1. This message is displayed only once. You must hear what it says. If not, the message is of no use. 🙂

2. This code is written on Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 SP4. I have not tested this on other Major as well as Minor versions.

Find your free package here: CapsLock Login Message Package File.
