I am a bit late in blogging about this, but better late than never. Microsoft has updated the Statement of Direction for Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Some important points worth to be highlighted are:

This event is going to rock this year, as we are gearing up for the release of GP 2013.
Early Bird registration for Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Airlift 2012 event is there till 31st July, 2012. More information about this event can be read on David’s post.
I hope to get registered this year, meet those people I admire and follow and learn all important concepts about GP 2013.
Fingers crossed.

There are several methods to achieve limiting number of records per page on a crystal report.
But this method, from a blogger named Pankaj Lalwani, seems to be very simple and effective. Check his post here: Limiting Number of Records to be Displayed on Crystal Report.
Version won’t matter in this case, since the solution what he proposes uses most common functions/operators, unless the latest version of crystal reports have an in-built settings for DETAILS section in Section Expert (which I doubt it would be).

Alright, this is an off-post. Certainly nothing to do with GP or anything even feebly related to GP.
Google Drive is live.
Google Drive is Google’s answer to Drop Box, Box.net, Skydrive, etc., which provides cloud storage facility. And since it’s Google, we do have that ability to share easily, G+ integration, searching abilities, etc.
It’s 5GB initially and can be upped to 25GB by paying as less as $2.50/month. (Microsoft Skydrive has opened up 25GB for FREE for a limited period).
One thing which I loved reading about Google Drive is the ability to go back in time. You read it on the official portal, link for which is given above.
Interesting stuff. Let’s wait and see how Google Drive is going to compete with all other players.

The Stakeouts, is a plain and simple; short and sweet; interesting and intriguing (may I say that?) story written by our private eye, errr, Polino.
Mark, I did read your post “You are a writer…“. But I never thought there would be a story soon. That was quick & great. 🙂
Would love to read a long one from you; well on any topic.
Why not? And when?

Have you ever opened a standard GP stored procedure?
I do it at least on a weekly basis and have always found it impossible to read as it is. So I end up aligning the procedure first and then read it to understand the logic.
Not anymore. David has shared information on some portals which does this in seconds and give us an aligned code.
Standing out from his list is Poor SQL, from what I learned from my usage.
And there is a plugin for SSMS which does this from within SSMS. This tool is called SSMS Tools Pack.
Happy aligning.

Q: From where does the Inventory Adjustment entry retrieve a product’s Decimal Places Currency value?
A: When we create a product, this value will be defaulted from the Functional Currency of that company. While entering an Inventory Adjustment for this product, the decimal places currency value will then be retrieved from the product master record.
I realized this when I faced an issue couple of days back. I got a requirement where, I have to facilitate an automated program that will replicate a product information (Master, Quantities/Site, Vendors, Currencies & Price List) from one company to another. Of course, with necessary changes that are specific to the destination company.
It worked merrily till both companies had functional currencies with same number of decimal places. I had to extend this program on to another company, whose functional currency supports 3 decimal places. Now you might have realized the issue. My program, quite honestly, was written with a hardcoded value of 2 decimal places.
When I created some products on my new company using this program, I could not enter Inventory Adjustments with 3 decimal places. It was always 2. Upon spending some time on this, I realized what I have mentioned at the start of this post. You cannot override this at all.
So those who write customization like what I have explained above, beware of all such nuances which will play very crucial role in day-to-day transactions.

Ever wondered how to clear all that cluttering of recently worked projects list on your Visual Studio 2008 start page? I did. Till I found an article posted by Brent Lamborn.
Brent’s post, Visual Studio 2008 – Clear Recent Projects List, solved my issue. Thought I would sort of reblog it. Those who looking for a solution to this issue, look no further.
