David Meego - Click for blog homepageDuring the Dexterity Fundaments Bootcamp training, which was run in the week prior to the Community Summit 2023 conference, one of the attendees came up with an issue using the Multicurrency Access Setup window in Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Their problem is that the list of companies shown on the right-hand scrolling windows are unsorted and the customer has over 300 companies. This makes using this window extremely frustrating and slow. They already owned GP Power Tools and wanted to use it for a fix.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageIn April 2023, Microsoft announced that Microsoft Dynamics GP will not be available for sale to new customers after April 2026. While the announcement has very little effect on the existing customers, there have been lots of discussions on the future of Microsoft Dynamics GP and its client base.

Microsoft has indicated that they will be supporting the product to 2028 & Beyond. That “& Beyond” clause will be very dependent on what the existing customers using GP do. If the existing customer base continues to use GP and pay their annual enhancement fees, Microsoft’s management will be able to justify continued support beyond 2028 due to the income stream.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageI have been meaning to write this wrap up article for the Community Summit 2023 conference in Charlotte, NC, USA for the couple of weeks.

After the conference, I spent two weeks in the UK visiting family and also cycling 160km in three days across the entire country, coast to coast at its narrowest point along Hadrian’s Way (Cycle Route 72) which roughly follows Hadrian’s Wall.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageCommunity Summit 2023 is over for another year, but your Microsoft Dynamics GP learning opportunities are still coming. Next week, the Great Plains User Conference (GPUC) will be held at the home of Dynamics GP, the Microsoft campus in Fargo, North Dakota, USA. The conference is open to all GP users globally.

If Fargo, is too far away, the conference organizers, Implementation Specialists, have also thoughtfully offered a virtual option. However, I can guarantee that you will get the most learning and networking out of the conference if you can be there in person.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageA few years ago I published an article showing you can use a GP Power Tools custom RW Function to execute a SQL query and return data to a report. This article used some techniques which were valid at the time and while they still work, there are better and faster methods available in the later GP Power Tools builds.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageI have been approached a couple of times with the request to place a QR Code (Quick-Response Code) onto a Microsoft Dynamics GP Report Writer report.

My initial response was that it was not possible as there is no way to include a dynamic image in a report. Only static images (such as logos) can be stored in the dictionary and added to reports.

But then I found online a couple of vendors selling QR Code True Type fonts….
