This is yet another update to the previous versions of the change tracking projects for Customer and Vendor cards:
Based on the version 5 projects, this update for GP Power Tools Build 32 or later adds support for the Accounts window. Note it does require Build 32 or later to work.
If you need to customize Microsoft Dynamics GP or maintain existing customizations, David Musgrave from Winthrop Development Consultants will be running two extremely valuable development training courses before Community Summit 2025 and now it is time to register.
The conference will be held on the 19th to 23rd October 2025. There will be pre-conference GP Development training in the week before the conference as well as Academy days before and after the conference itself.
HURRY: LAST DAYS TO REGISTER
This article is designed to help you perform a system audit on your Microsoft Dynamics GP system and is used as part of my Microsoft Dynamics GP Systems Audit session in the first week of the Dynamics GP Strategic Planning Digital Summit being held each Wednesday for the next 5 weeks.
Identifying the installed products in the system is fairly easy as you can look at the Dynamics.set launch file to see all the Dexterity product dictionaries loaded.
However, having a product loaded in a system does not necessarily mean that it has been used.
This is another update to the previous version of the change tracking project for Item cards:
Based on the version 3 project, this update for GP Power Tools Build 32 changes the project to use a Custom Table and Custom Table Buffer calls rather than SQL Scripts and Parameter Lists. So, it does require Build 32 or later to work.
This is another update to the previous versions of the change tracking projects for Customer and Vendor cards:
Based on the version 4 projects, this update for GP Power Tools Build 32 changes the project to use a Custom Table and Custom Table Buffer calls rather than SQL Scripts and Parameter Lists. So, it does require Build 32 or later to work.
Do you want to customize Microsoft Dynamics GP or have customizations that you want to support into the future? Now is your chance for both customers and partners to get trained in Dexterity, the development environment that Dynamics GP is built on.
Understanding Dexterity will help any developer working with Dynamics GP regardless of the development environment they end up using. This knowledge is vital for developers using Dexterity, Visual Studio Tools (C# or VB.Net), “End of Life” Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), or using the GP Power Tools – Developer Tools module.

I will be running the 5-day Dexterity Fundamentals for Dynamics GP bootcamp training class in the week before the Community Summit conference in Orlando, Florida, USA in October. Please register for the training now and plan to be in Orlando for the week before the conference.
I have been meaning to write this article for quite a while. The Batch Posting Service Toolkit (BPST) is a product created by Winthrop Development Consultants to provide a variety of methods for posting, maintaining, transferring batches, etc.
The API’s (Application Programming Interface) can be called externally as a Service Based Architecture (SBA) Web Service (for GP 2015 or later), or from inside the Microsoft Dynamics GP application using Dexterity, Visual Studio Tools (via C# or VB.Net) or via GP Power Tools.
The Batch Posting Service Toolkit is exactly that, a toolkit designed to be called by a developer and so it does not have an interface (except for testing the API). However, you can use the Scheduling functionality in GP Power Tools to post batches on a scheduled basis, read on for more details ….
Scheduling or automating tasks in Microsoft Dynamics GP is a common request, so this example demonstrates a method that can be used to run any process on a scheduled or automated basis using GP Power Tools.
The specific example we will be using is running an Inventory Item Reconcile on items that have been flagged as needing reconciliation. This code was developed in conjunction with Arthur Achilleos, who has agreed for it to be published.
A recent GP Power Tools customization project for Microsoft Dynamics GP which I assisted a customer to create, ensures that a GL Account Number is entered on each line of a Purchase Order Transaction.
The customer for which this project created for has allowed it to be published on the blog to benefit anyone else who would like similar functionality.
Using the GP Power Tools – Developer Tools module for customization is a great method of automating processes in Microsoft Dynamics GP as well as customizing behavior to meet the requirements of your business.
Many customers are also using GP Power Tools to replace Visual Basic for Applications now that it is “End of Life” and unsupported.
I was recently asked how to hide a window opened and closed as part of an automation using GP Power Tools. This article explains the techniques you can use to open a window as hidden.
