Hey, look at that… another year just whooshed by! Time for another post of what I resolve to do this coming year and how I fared this past year.

Don’t forget about your reminders!
As most of my blog topics start, this begins with fairly standard question from a client asking why their taxes are not defaulting on their Purchase Order in Dynamics GP.
This situation is something I see a lot of in various clients:
- Something isn’t working
- They try to troubleshoot it themselves but can’t find the answer
- They are getting more and more frustrated at the “randomness” of GP by the minute (their words not mine!)
- They email me with the equivalent of a “WTF?” with screen shots showing me when something works fine and when it doesn’t, assuming it’s completely randomly doing something just to piss them off.
The answer nearly always ends up with some variation of one of these:
- Someone did something they shouldn’t have done
- Someone didn’t do something they should have done
Sound familiar?

GP & Lowercase Database IDs
Some days I feel like I’m on a game show, where troubleshooting is a contest… “I’ll take strange GP errors for $400 Alex!”.
Today is one of those days!
One of my clients imports in SOP and Payables transactions via eConnect and then uses Postmaster Enterprise to post the batches. Today one of the QA users was doing some testing of GP and their integrations after a recent database refresh from the production company. She calls me and says something isn’t working right. Postmaster keeps logging posting errors but the batches look fine and nothing has changed except refreshing the environment.

GP 2015 is released!
Right on time, Microsoft announced the release of Dynamics GP 2015 yesterday (December 1, 2014).
Awesome! Tons of new features and continued advancement in integration of data and possibilities for applications.
reImagine 2014 – Day 4
The last half of day 3 and the first part of day 4 was post-conference training that you could sign up in advance for. I saw there was a deep-dive on Reporting and I thought “cool”… I feel a bit behind on some of the reporting tools and surely could use some in-depth training on things like SSRS. What I neglected to pay attention to, was the deep dive covered about 7 different tools. That should have tipped me off to the fact that we were not covering anything in depth.

reImagine 2014 – Day 3
Day 3 technically is the last day of the conference, unless you 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.

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 I would want to go to content at both places but the Development sessions proved to be more technical than my expertise, so I stayed at the hotel all day again.
There were 23 sessions at the hotel and 15 sessions at Microsoft, not including the work rooms where you have some 1 on 1 opportunities. Lots of choice again.

reImagine 2014 – Day 1
The first day of any conference, I find you’re 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 though I’ve been here many times now, this year the content was split between venues: some at Microsoft and some at the Holiday Inn. That meant logistics, and thinking about your agenda and reason for being here. Day 1 was a logical split (in my opinion) with Sales and Marketing presentations at Microsoft and Consultant and Developer sessions at the Holiday Inn. Personally, I tend to mix and match those two content types. So that worked for me.

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.

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”. Wellllll….
