Creating Detail Window in Extender – Error & Resolution

Posted on by

I am working on Extender features after quite some time.

I was creating a Detail Window for Service Call Entry/Update window in Field Service. I entered Window ID, Description, Product, Series, Form & Window. I selected a Key Field and entered one Line Field.

I tried saving the Detail Window and I got this error message:

Certain Extender features and data may no longer be available with the installation of this product. It is recommended you reference your product manual before continuing.

I was quite puzzled to see this message as this is conveying something more like, I am not suppose to create a Detail Window at all. Or probably I perceived it in that sense.

I thought I would check KB before I conclude my defeat. I found a KB article which addresses this exactly: KB#947934.

My mistake. I did not select R1 or R2 for the Line Field that I tried creating. Obviously, we must specify whether the field which we are trying to create should be in first line or second line. And if we do not specify, Extender does not understand and create it automatically.

Having said that, the Error Message could have been a bit relevantly meaningful.

Removing Extender Records – David (Critical Reference)

Posted on by

We all owe a lot to this guy, for timely and qualified solutions that he provide.

We have been facing this issue long time now. When we delete a Parent Transaction, the dependent Extender Information is orphaned and we do not know that. Over a period of time, this gets accumulated and lots of junk.

David nails this issue with his solution. Read it here: Removing Extender Data When Deleting Transactions or Lines.

This is very critical reference and we MUST treasure this. And I sincerely mean it.

GP Login with Active Directory – Is it really required?

Posted on by

Customers & Most of the Consultants vote YES. But some still believe that it’s OK to have separate Login Credential for GP.

I also wonder whether we really require Active Directory Integrated Login for GP. What’s so bugging if we have a separate login?

Pour your ideas and thoughts in here.

Dynamics GP 2010 – Security Enhancements (Precaution)

Posted on by

Developers who had read the article from Mariano on GP 2010 Security Enhancements, should have by now understood one important change.

For any Customer(s), if any Developers have coded Triggers / VBA on the event(s) of User Login / Switch Company windows should now rethink their logic.

I am not saying that we MUST change the existing logic, but I am still warning you all to understand how exactly the “Remember this User” and “Remember this Company” options in GP 2010 works and based on that we must change our code accordingly.

So people, just beware and don’t forget to think in Multi-Dimensions when you read any new feature or enhancements to existing ones in GP 2010.

Posted on by

This article does not explain how Word Template work in GP 11 Beta.

This is intended to inform that there may be Consultants / Partners who would not be able to see “Template” as an option at all when they run a report in GP 11. To get it working, the following link provides us Open XML SDK that must be installed for this feature to work.

Thanks to an Anonymous user who shared this in my article: Dynamics GP 2010 – Features I am looking at.
