RSS to Email

While digging deeply in the internet, I been trying to find out away to help my blog readers and send my posts directly to their mails.

I found allot of sources over the internet, most of the are paid but the one I liked is Blogtrottr, I am working to integrate this site with my blog so my posts will be diverted to the readers mails directly, with the ability to unsubscribe any time.

Wish me luck!

Issue in Bank Deposit Entry Form

Talking about Bank Deposit Entry form, I noticed an issue when trying to change the Checkbook ID, the system does not automatically populates the next available deposit number, instead its uses the old number exists in the form and tries to load it document with the following message:

“The deposit already has been posted for this checkbook. Choose Continue to display the posted transaction for voiding.”

image

Or worst, if the selected deposit number for the old checkbook was reconciled in the newly selected checkbook, the following message will appear:

“This deposit can’t be used. It has been reconciled, is marked for reconciliation or has been previously voided.”

image

The simple workaround is just by clicking “Clear” before changing the Checkbook ID, I will report this to Microsoft and hopefully will get a reply!

Bank Deposits Error

I got an interesting case this morning by one of my clients, they are getting the following error:

“A deposit for this chequebook already has been started. If the process was interrupted, use the Check Links window to check links for the CM logical files.”

image

The customer informed me that they checked links as requested, but it didn’t resolve the error. I ran SQL Server Profiler Trace and found Column called “Deposit_In_Progress” that holds the current deposit number each time you opens the deposit entry form, so if GP stuck in this situation, the system will keep notifying about the issue to avoid any data violation, simple empty this field and the error will no longer exist.

Auto-Complete for Dexterity Coding?!?!

Last year, David posted an article that shocked all Dexterity developers, he created a screenshot that shows dexterity codes inside Visual Studio .Net! Developers using dexterity was very much excited to work on that, but unfortunately it was April fool’s day and David couldn’t live without posting such an article!

image

However, Mariano was working the last few weeks to enhance dexterity with one of the most wanted .Net features which was the auto-complete, in this article he explained the whole story of the IntelliSense and the requirements to integrate non-OOP applications, and in this article he suggested this methodology to Microsoft Connect and wanted your votes and support to get this done.

For those who work on Dexterity and like the way it works, you must vote to make your life easier!!

Update: don’t like to have out dated information! I didn’t see this article by David, and this article by Mariano.

Thanks Mariano for the update!

Project Management Module for Dynamics GP

Today I found an interesting question in the newsgroup requesting an integration between Dynamics GP and Project Server, it might be doable but it will not be an easy task if it was a complicated integration.

However, the question was:

does anyone know if it is possible to integrate both GP2010 and PS2010? If so what is required?
what we are looking for is to send ProjectServer timesheet information into GP2010.

Few days ago I presented something like this for a new customer and the idea was acceptable. The customer was using MS Project to manage their projects and wanted to have their projects tasks goes directly into Dynamics GP, not only the timesheet entries, but also all project expenses, resources, items and services, I tried to integrate Project Server to Dynamics GP but it was not an easy task if you are looking to integrate the projects tasks to your
inventory items and all other integration points.


However, I worked around this by using imageDynamics GP Manufacturing Bill Of Material, design the project exactly as you design it in MS Project, but instead of writing down that tasks, selects it as items, so all you MS Project Tasks will have to be defined as both inventory and service items based on the type of task, I have created a .Net based tool that replaces the print button of the Manufacturing BOM with Gantt Chart using tools from
DevExpress, Chart will look like the image on the right-->

Finally they accepts the idea as all the columns they uses frequently was exist in the BOM, they have used the In/Out dates as start/end dates and the costs will be calculated automatically, try it, it might fulfill your needs.

Dynamics GP Upgrade Failed, Company Locked and no Longer Upgradable with small lock image on the left?!?!?

We all got such an issue during Dynamics GP upgrade, this due to the fact that Dynamics GP Utilities Locks the imagedatabase during the upgrade to avoid any deadlocks at the SQL Level that affect the upgrade process, yesterday I got a mail from someone asking about this issue and I though that the solution should be posted.

However, to get around this, all what you need to do is to go to Dynamics database and clear “DuLCK” table!

 

Enjoy!!

The unlocked iPhone is now LEGAL and technically EASY!

image

I know that this is a bit out of Dynamics GP scope, but all iPhone users are excited to this announcement!

Just days after the U.S. Copyright Office ruled that bypassing a manufacturer's protection mechanisms to allow "handsets to execute software applications" no longer violates federal copyright law, the iPhone Dev Team on Sunday released a jailbreak for the iPhone 4 at JailbreakMe.com.

Unlike previous jailbreaks, which required the device to be connected to a computer to run the update, the latest jailbreak is accomplished completely via mobile Safari loaded on the device. The browser-based software bypass reportedly works on all iOS devices, including iPhones, iPads, and iPods running iOS 4 and iOS 4.01, but it will reportedly not work on devices running the iOS 4.1 beta.

Read more about this here.

Bottom line, no need to be GP expert to unlock you iPhone, any internet user could do so!
