As Community Summit 2024 in San Antonio, Texas, USA on 13-17th October 2024 approaches, Dynamic Communities have released a survey to get an insight into the Microsoft Dynamics GP Community.
The survey will close on 30th August 2024, so spread the word and complete the survey before it closes.
After a customer request for additional functionality, Winthrop Development Consultants is pleased to release Build 14.2 of Batch Posting Service Toolkit (BPST) for Microsoft Dynamics GP on 11-Jul-2024.
This build adds the ability to allocate and/or fulfill Sales Order Processing batches.
GP Power Tools has the ability to recreate user SQL logins after a server migration using the Database Validation window, or reset multiple user logins using the SQL Login Maintenance window. Both of these methods can use fixed or randomly generated passwords and have the ability to send emails to users with their new password. Also, changing the user’s password from the User Setup window can send an email.
The wording and formatting of these Password Reset emails can be defined in GP Power Tools by your system administrator. You can even use HTML to format the emails as described in the article below:
To be able to send emails to your users, you need to ensure that GP Power Tools knows the email addresses of the users. They are entered into the User Setup Additional Information window which can be opened from the User Setup window (if it is not set to automatically open). The sample code in this project shows how you can take the data from an Excel spreadsheet with the User ID and Emails of the users and import it from the clipboard directly into GP Power Tools.
Microsoft Teams is a great screen sharing tool for collaboration and support (once you can successfully log into the correct organization). However, a change made to the default policy settings a little while ago has meant that External Meeting Participants (anyone from outside of the organization) are unable to request or take control.
If you have ever had to “drive” someone through a complex set of steps when they are unfamiliar with the application’s interface, you will know that this makes support time consuming and very frustrating.
GP Power Tools has a powerful feature called Company Login Filter. This feature was created to allow the selection of companies to be controlled based on the application configuration used to launch Microsoft Dynamics GP.
It has a number of other features such as controlling the order of the companies listed and optionally showing the database name for the company, but if configured incorrectly it does have the ability to block access to the application by removing access to all the companies.
This is another “Must Have” free customization example for you Microsoft Dynamics GP system when you have GP Power Tools – Developer Tools module.
When creating new Customer, Vendor and Item cards, it is possible to include certain characters in the ID fields which can cause issues with Microsoft Dynamics GP, its ISV products and integrating products.
Today, we are announcing the release of GP Power Tools Build 30.3. Over the last couple of months, a few issues have been discovered, which have now been fixed. We have also enhanced the functionality of a number of features in the product.
We have also been encouraging our customers to get updated onto the latest builds of our products for their versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP. We always want our customers on the latest code to get the best experience with all the new features and fixes, but we have also discontinued old builds primarily because of the Security Vulnerability discovered and fixed in August 2022.
Winthrop Development Consultants is pleased to announce Build 14 of Batch Posting Service Toolkit (BPST) for Microsoft Dynamics GP was released on 08-Apr-2024.
This build adds the ability to transfer Sales Order Processing batches.
I am excited to announce that as well as the Dexterity Training (during the week before the conference), there will also be GP Power Tools training offered at Academy at Summit in the days before Community Summit in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
The training will be presented as a single full day course on Sunday 13th October 2024, running from 8:00am to 5:00pm with lunch included.
We always have lots of new functionality and enhancements to cover with the release the latest builds of GP Power Tools.
I will once again be running the 5-day Dexterity Fundamentals for Dynamics GP bootcamp training class in the week before the Community Summit conference in San Antonio, Texas, USA in October. Please register for the training now and plan to be in San Antonio for the week before the conference.
Dexterity is the development environment that Microsoft Dynamics GP is built on and the best tool to use for any customization to the user interface of the product. Knowledge of Dexterity is vital for anyone customizing Dynamics GP even when using other development tools such as GP Power Tools – Developer Tools module, Visual Studio Tools (C# or VB .Net) or “End of Life” VBA (Visual Basic for Application).
