  • eConnect Distributions – double trouble

    Today’s #TipTuesday post is yet another integration-related post. In my case, it’s about Payables Transaction Entry and distributions doubling up. This tip will (or should) also hold for other eConnect nodes that have optional GL distributions as most behave in the same default manner I describe below. I was building a Payables Transaction integration for… (continue >)

  • SmartConnect, Variables & Quotes

    This #TipTuesday post is about integrating into Dynamics GP with SmartConnect, and using variables with something to watch out for. (continue >)

  • Object reference not set to an instance of an object

    This #TipTuesday post was a fun one. I kept getting an error “object reference not set to an instance of an object” while integrating into Dynamics GP in SmartConnect and it took me a while to find the reason for it. (continue >)

  • SmartConnect Define Company

    This #TipTuesday post is about using the Define Company option in SmartConnect and why it’s my number one way of identifying what company in Dynamics GP to integrate into. (continue >)

  • More fun with Integration Manager

    Here’s another pet peeve of mine when it comes to Integration Manager: changing the default IM database on each installation. Like my previous post on how to register IM quickly, here’s another tip on using the .ini file settings to roll out workstation installs quickly and painlessly.

  • 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… (continue >)

  • 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… (continue >)

  • 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… (continue >)

  • eConnect, GL Transactions & Multicurrency

    What I’m posting today is hopefully of use to someone out there who runs into this same problem. Admittedly it’s rare but it took me a while to find the answer. The Issue I was attempting to import General Ledger transactions using eConnect via SmartConnect.  My client had multi-currency enabled and there was a default currency… (continue >)
