David Meego - Click for blog homepageEveryone wants extra user defined fields on their Microsoft Dynamics GP windows.  It is possible to add extra fields but there have always been compromises. Either it requires custom development with scripting and modified or alternate windows, or fields are in a separate window or sidebar, and the data is often stored in multiple records across multiple tables.

This year, as we celebrate 20 years of GP Power Tools, the upcoming Build 33 adds Custom Fields to the Developer Tools module. This amazing new feature allows you to add almost any field to any window without any code or using Modifier.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageWinthrop Development Consultants is fully committed to the continued support of Microsoft Dynamics GP and its ecosystem. Our ISV products are only compatible with Dynamics GP and have been created to solve pain points and missing features as requested by the GP community.

While Microsoft has stated that they will cease support for Dynamics GP in 2031, it is important to note that “End of Support” does not equate to “End of Life”. There is plenty of life left in the product and, with the support of the community, GP will live on well past the official end of support. A driving force in the community support will be the Knights of GP.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageHere is an awesome update to the previous sample customization which added 6 Additional Item Category Fields:

This update makes the following improvements, but does need at least Build 32 of GP Power Tools to work:

  1. Replacing the data storage location with GPPT Custom SQL Tables instead of the DUOS (Dynamic User Object Store) table, including providing a script to move any existing DUOS data to the new tables.
  2. Updating the Report Writer functions with the faster memory-based parameters options.
  3. Adding the 6 additional Item Category fields to the Item Class Setup window, including pulling the fields when a class is added and roll down class level changes.
