reImagine 2014 – Day 3
Day 3 technically is the last day of the conference, unless attendees are taking some of the post-conference training. All of the content was at the Holiday Inn since there were fewer sessions overall. There were 9 sessions + the work room 1 on 1 things again. The Big Reveal The first session of the…

reImagine 2014 – Day 2
Day 2 of the reImagine 2014 conference was a full day of sessions, followed by an evening keynote and pub crawl through downtown Fargo. This day they swapped the locations of some sessions and had Sales & Consulting at the Holiday Inn, and Marketing & Development at Microsoft. I was initially a bit concerned that…

reImagine 2014 – Day 1
On the first day of any conference, I find I’m spending a bit of time purely getting used to being at a conference again. Where are the rooms? What sessions do I want to see? What did I forget in my room? When are the meals and breaks? Yesterday was no exception to that… even…

reImagine 2014 – Day before the fun begins!
It’s Sunday, November 9th, 2014 and the day before what arguably might be the biggest Dynamics GP partner conference yet… perhaps an exaggeration but with a new release pending in 3-4 weeks (GP 2015), there’s tons of excitement around this year’s conference. My day began leaving home (I live about an hour west of Toronto)…

Project Accounting mystery COGS account
A while back, a long-time client of mine told me about an issue they were having that they couldn’t explain. No problem, I said, let me have a look. I come from the school of “everything has a reason, things don’t just happen by themselves”. Well…. The issue On Receivings Trx Entry, the COGS account…

Cdn Payroll – Things that make you go hmm
This is a strange one, one of those things that makes me go “hmm”. I never understand how this happens, if it’s been here for years or just never been noticed. Anyway, in Canadian Payroll in Microsoft Dynamics GP (testing GP2010 specifically, in case it’s not the same in other versions), when creating a batch…

New Year’s Resolutions 2014
I’m a little late with this post this year. It is that time of year when we review the year just passed and make resolutions for the New Year. What Happened In 2013? Well, a lot happened in 2013 but most of it was not business-related, so I’ll spare the details here! I alluded to…

eConnect error, but not the real error!
One of my customers is doing some Sales Order Processing integrations with GP 2010, and for the most part, when we run into eConnect errors, it pretty much tells us what the issue is, and we fix it and move on. We ran into one the other day and this error wasn’t even the real…

GP Airlift 2013 – Day 3 – Part 2 of 2
This is the continuation of my first article: Part 1 where the Town Hall and Pricing sessions were described. I attempted to write this part in the Fargo airport where the wifi proved to be a little sketchy! The first part posted through fine, but this second part? Not so much! The WOW Session Speaking…

GP Airlift 2013 – Day 3 – Part 1 of 2
Today was the final day of the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Airlift in Fargo. So much information was presented today that I don’t even know where to start! The sessions today were all general sessions, with no breakouts. First was a Town Hall Q&A session with several of the key staff from Microsoft answering various…

GP Airlift 2013 – Day 2
Day 2 at the 2013 Dynamics GP Technical Airlift seemed a lot less busy. Not in the sense of fewer people attending, but in the sense of less rush, less overload. Chalk it up to a better night’s sleep the second night (and chalk that up to less socializing last night, haha, no correlation there…

GP Airlift 2013 – Day 1
Wow, what a day! The first day at these conferences is all about getting acclimated to the pace of the day and the overwhelming amount of information that is presented to us. I always find the first day is more tiring than the subsequent days, as I’m not used to being on the receiving end…

GP Airlift 2013 – Getting to Fargo
Hey, look! It’s my semi-annual blog article… OK, I jest a little, and hopefully, today I start back with regular blogs. I’m in lovely Fargo as I write this, having arrived mid-afternoon, the day before the Dynamics GP Technical Airlift 2013 kicks off. Unlike last year, I didn’t partake in any of the pre-conference classes…

eConnect error “configured identity is incorrect”
A client recently had an issue with their nightly eConnect integrations, getting an error about the username and password. This integration had been live for nearly 2 years, running every night, and running without issue – or at least without this kind of issue. In other words, fairly stable. They also never touch the service…

Full vs Light User licenses
This is short and sweet – as I don’t usually post “sales” types of things and don’t intend to start now! It’s somewhat of a tale of two client scenarios, and advice to those who hear certain things from their clients and are in a position to recommend license options. I’ve got two clients right…

Update on Account Number error in Canadian Payroll
A couple of years ago around this time of year, I got a call from a client of mine with a strange error in Canadian Payroll. At the time, I ran into other significant issues in trying to help with said error, and at the time, I blogged/ranted about it here. Fast forward to last…

New Year’s Resolutions 2013
It’s that time of year again – time for a review of 2012 and noting what to resolve to do in 2013. I say this every year – time flew by! As my dad just told me, it seems to fly by faster the older I get. It certainly does! Today is December 31st and…

Bizarro world – integration manager “use input” doesn’t work
This is a short post… a bizarre issue that I can’t find an answer to. A client has a bunch of inactive GL accounts and for a project, wants to re-activate them to do some reallocations and then inactive them again. Simple right? I set up a simple Integration Manager integration for them, and set…

Dynamics GP Technical Airlift 2012 – Web Client part 2
A continuation of the first part of my articles on the GP 2013 Web Client, this post goes through some of the other training things that were covered that are installation-related. Some of the things in this article are: Certificates SSL Firewalls Domain Users & Groups Deployment Strategies As I mentioned in the first article, this…

Dynamics GP Technical Airlift 2012 – Web Client part 1
Tuesday was the unofficial first day of the conference for me with the agenda being one of two things for those who chose to come a day early. There was a sales presentation for those on the business development side and there was technical training on the web client for the rest of us. Generally, partners…

Dynamics GP Technical Airlift 2012 – Pre-Conference
It’s that time again, the time to trek to Fargo and be immersed in all things Microsoft Dynamics GP! The last technical conference was a blast and this proves to be no different. The content this time around is, of course, Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 and all of its new features including a ton of…

Canadian Payroll & US Payroll in the same environment
I was asked this question by someone a few days ago and I have a little bit of information about this. At some point, I will expand on this article but for now, it’s a short one! This article is simply about using Cdn Payroll and US Payroll together, as in “Can the modules be…

Project Accounting – Misc Log eConnect issue
My last post about the good and the ugly of the Update Budget Lines feature had a continuing theme to it. I was telling the story of the client who mass-updated 650+ projects with a new cost category only to find the budget sources set to Specific didn’t get populated with the default “specific” GL…

Project Accounting – Update Budget Lines, the good, the bad and the ugly
The other day a client asked me if there was a way to mass-add a new cost category to all projects simultaneously. I didn’t know there was a new function to do this starting with GP 10, but a quick Google search resulted in a post from Mark Polino describing this exact thing. Wow. That doesn’t…

Report Writer Series – The End
Well, it’s been fun but it’s time to focus on more interesting areas of Microsoft Dynamics GP. This is the last official article in the Report Writer series of posts I’ve written, although I’m sure there may be an odd article pop-up that has some Report Writer content. Summary Here is a summary of what I’ve…
