ANZAC Day 2023

Today on 25th of April in Australia and New Zealand as well as many locations around the world, ANZAC day is being commemorated with dawn services and a day of remembrance. ANZAC day was originally set aside to honour the young men of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp who served and died in the Great War of 1914-1918. The ANZAC soldiers served in many fields of combat during World War I but are mostly remembered for their actions on the Western Front in France and Gallipoli in Turkey.

#Dexterity Announcing Dexterity Training before Community Summit 2023 in Charlotte, NC, USA

As is becoming a tradition, I will once again be running the 5-day Dexterity training class in the week before the Community Summit conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA in October. Please register for the training now and plan to be in Charlotte 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).
#MSDynGP Microsoft Announcement April 2023

On the 4th April 2023, Microsoft made an announcement about the future of new Microsoft Dynamics GP sales. While the details of the announcement are primarily behind “partner only” links, I wanted to explain the main points and how the announcement has very little effect for existing Microsoft Dynamics GP customers.
For existing Microsoft Dynamics GP customers nothing has really changed. Microsoft has committed to continuing support and development of Dynamics GP to 2028 and beyond.
#GPPT Changing and Recalculating SOP Tax Rates

Back when Australia introduced its Goods and Services Tax (GST) in July 2000, I designed and developed the Business Activity Statement (BAS) Tax reporting tool which also contained a utility to update tax schedules and recalculate taxes on unposted Sales Order Processing Transactions.
This code was re-used in October 2010 when New Zealand changed its GST tax rate. The code from the BAS reporting tool was copied and placed into Runtime Execute scripts for the Support Debugging Tool (see original article).
This week I was contacted by James Bacon from Green Rubber – Kennedy Ag as he wanted to use the code again to update some transactions when a tax rate had changed. While the code did “mostly” work, this was an opportunity to update the code to improve it and use more features in GP Power Tools.
