Dynamics GP Excel Paste has been ranked in DynamicsWorld Microsoft Dynamics Top 50 Add-Ons 2013

I got the mail this morning that the Dynamics GP Excel Paste has made it and ranked in the 2013 list of DynamicsWorld Microsoft Dynamics Top 50 Add-Ons.

Quoting from DynamicsWorld:

In previous years each platform has had its own Top 12, however, with an increasing number of ISVs now creating cross platform Add-Ons this year it was necessary to publish the top Add-Ons for Microsoft Dynamics as a single list of the Top 50.

The issue of what makes the best Add-On for an end user is dependent upon what the end user requires, so, as in previous years the list does not rank the Add-Ons in order of choice, instead, the list is published in Alphabetical order.

So GP Excel Paste might be the best! No body knows!!

The system will prompt you to select the printer:

Barcode will be printed!

To get this please go and download the following ZIP file:

http://di.jo/files/Asset Label Printing.zip

It has two files:

  • “IDAutomationHC39M.ttf”: place this file inside “C:\Windows\Fonts”
  • “Asset Label Printing.dll”: Place this file inside your Dynamics GP Folder >> AddIns

NOTE: we have added a little DI.JO inside the barcode, just e-mail me to send you a package without this, it was added to count the number of users!

Analytical Account Posting Setup - Breaking the Hidden Secrets!!

Yesterday one of my customers reported an issue that the analytical accounting report is not being printed after the “General Posting Journal” upon posting a GL Transaction.

First thing came to my mind that this report has been unmarked in “Posting Setup” then in moment I realized that the Posting Setup does not contains anything for AA!!

It has been said in the analytical accounting installation manual that YOU MUST CONFIGURE YOU POSTING SETUP BEFORE ACTIVATING THE PRODUCT:

Setting up posting options for Analytical Accounting
Once you’ve installed Analytical Accounting for your company, you must set up
the appropriate posting options for Analytical Accounting in the Microsoft
Dynamics GP Posting Setup window. Be sure that you’ve completed this task before
you activate Analytical Accounting.

In order to collect analytical information for an account, the account must be linked
to an account class. Analytical Accounting does not support posting in summary.

So how to adjust this? Where can I find the posting setup for AA and how to configure my reports?

An hour of profiler trace returned what does GP actually do to load report, specially after activating the “Allow Transactions Posting” option and getting the error below on the report generation:

“Unable to obtain posting destination record.”

image

I my trace, I noticed that GP is running the following query to get report printed to the appropriate destination:

exec TWO.dbo.zDP_SY02200SS_1 2,'General Entry','General Posting Journal'

This script returned the following results:

image

Then I saw the following command which returned the following result:

exec TWO.dbo.zDP_SY02200SS_1 2,'General Entry','3180rpt_8'

image

At this moment I realized that this “3180rpt_8” report is being called without being exist in posting setup table and that’s why I used to get the above message and being able to get the report printed.

Resolution:

I just added the report row into SY02200 table and rerun the posting! That worked like a charm!

Auto Assign Newly Added Analytical Accounting Code to All Users

I got a request from one of my customers, they had a need to auto assign newly created AA codes to all users and that how the idea started, I saw the scripts created by Sivakumar earlier to auto assign all codes to all users and used his cross join to create the below trigger.

The trigger is simply works on AAG00401 table upon record insert, it assigns the newly created codes to all GP users automatically, just run below script over your company database and enjoy.

Error Saving Cashbook Management Transaction

This morning I been working on a wired case with Cashbook Management Module, the case was many error messages shown up upon saving the payment line:

First error was:

An error occurred executing SQL statements.

image

Then: GPS Error: 58

image

Then: SQL Error: 8114 Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0 SQL Server Error converting data type varchar to datetime.

image

Then: ODBC Error: 37000

image

I felt like I am guilty! And thought that everything will be missed up after clicking tons of OK’s, then I decided to move on and look for the reasons behind this miss.

Running SQL Profiler Trace identified the query that been causing this error below:

image

Finally I noticed that the time attached to the query is ‘12:00:00 ص’ instead of ‘12:00:00 AM’ Smile

I replaced Arabic character in my time format from Arabic to English and it worked like a charm!!!

Errors while loading Dynamics GP

 

Have you ever lunched Dynamics GP and got the below error:

“FP: Bad component offset: 80Wind: 1Fld: 14”

image

And then got the below error:

“Unhandled script exception:

Illegal address for field Account Number in script Setup_Account_Format. Script terminated.”

image

If so all what you need to do is for this error or any similar issues related to the account framework is to go to Dynamics GP Folder\Data\Dex.ini and change a switch called “Synchronize” from FALSE to TRUE, this will require GP to run utilities and resynchronize your account framework and the issue will no longer exist.

Hope this helps.

Dynamics GP Excel Paste–New version has been released

Yesterday we have released a new version of the Dynamics GP Excel Paste, it has many new features and enhancements, I am showing the main additions in this post:

1. One installation across all GL Versions: (GP 10.0, GP 2010, GP 2013), ALL Service Packs, all platforms (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Server), any CPU (64x, 32x).

2. Messages Handling: We left this option for end user to decide either to auto answer the dialogs or by manually handling answers:

image

Another message will be shown:

image

3. Added more free screens: we have allowed the paste over common objects across all companies, like Currencies, Users, Tasks and Roles.

4. Enhanced the connectivity to the internet: if you are running behind firewalls we been facing difficulties loading templates as your firewalls are blocking the outbound access to the SQL, by using an alternative to the 1433 port, currently the application automatically calls a web service using the default port and using default proxy settings to pass through firewalls and get the templates installed.

5. Enhanced the ability to paste into distribution windows: we found many issues pasting using Advanced Excel Paste into “Distribution Windows”, issue have been resolved and you can paste safely:

PM Transaction Entry with Distribution

Web Client with Multiple GP Instances

I got a case on my server where I wanted the web client to work with different GP instant not the default, people start asking me you have multiple instances of Dynamics GP 2013 on your server!?! Yes I have installed the product 9 times with 9 different application instances and all are on the same SQL instant! This is what I liked with this version.

However, as I understood from the Dynamics GP Community, the web client is like the Dynamics.exe but on the web, meaning all application objects are to be loaded from the folder and the Dynamics.set will be called.

Hence, there must be somewhere to give the web client the path of the GP folder and it was there, I have noticed an XML file in the following path:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\GP Web Client\GPweb

File name is TenantConfiguration.xml, below is the content that explains itself:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TenantConfiguration>
  <Tenants>
    <Tenant Name="GPWebApp">
      <Description>Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013</Description>
      <RuntimeApplicationDirectory>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2013\</RuntimeApplicationDirectory>
      <SetFile>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2013\Dynamics.set</SetFile>
      <DexIniFile>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GP2013\Data\Dex.ini</DexIniFile>
      <HeartbeatTimeout>0.20:00:00</HeartbeatTimeout>
    </Tenant>

Dynamics GP Excel Paste is now supported on GP 2013

We did few code modifications to get this works on GP 2013, it was a matter of doing some changes to database naming that was statically assigned like DYNAMICS and TWO.

image

For web client, I been able to load the menus into the additional menus of the application screens, but still unable to access the Clipboard to load data due to security complications between web client and server, besides we feel like the Continuum API which we use to perform the paste operation is not loaded over the web client, however as long as the .NET still supported, I assure you that we will make it, but we’ll be waiting for the RTM release to kickoff!

Changes to GP2013 that should be considered by ISV’s

I been working the last few days hard to discover the new changes Microsoft made on GP 2013 desktop version and the web client and went through the application architecture to understand how will our solutions work among new application features and below are my initial findings:

1. Starting from GP 6.0 or maybe before, we used to know a fact that DYNAMICS database is constant and will never be changed, therefore we used to use this name statically in our code, starting from this point you no longer able to set this statically and will need to find an alternative.

2. As long as the Dynamics database we also used to know that the Sample company database was always named “TWO”, now it might be anything! Therefore you will need to query the SY01500 table with company ID of –1 to get the Intercompany ID and know the database name accordingly.

3. Working with GPConnNet wasn’t changed, however you still need to find a way to test the connection by using the Intercompany ID instead of querying the DYNAMICS database and shown on the examples, you can use “Dynamics.Globals.IntercompanyID.Value” from your development platform to retrieve this.

I will keep posting my findings!

Microsoft Dynamics GP Excel Paste–New Version Release

I am sure that for some people this became annoying, but I assure you guys that for the last two months I did nothing but modifications on the Excel Paste due to the huge number of requests we got and still getting.

This version was scheduled to be released by the first of the month, but it was postponed for few days to include more enhancements, below what we have changed:

  • Additional Modules has been added:

Now the product does not works only with Dynamics Dictionary, it was extended to include almost all Dynamics GP modules, I personally have tested the below:

    1. Manufacturing
    2. Cashbook Management
    3. Fixed Assets
    4. Analytical Accounting

image

  • Special SQL Command Prior to Paste:

We did face many cases where the end user wanted to perform some operations on the database level before doing the paste, like deleting Journal Lines before pasting new lines, this would be possible before and now it became an easy setup.

  • Special SanScript Commands:

While trying to apply the tool over the Item Transfer form we have notice something cannot be done using old version specially when you have Multi-bin activated or Serial/Lot Tracking for your items, it took allot to be done but we have created an option for experts to run special SanScript commands before filling any of the fields and perform any kind of operations on the field, like getting new form opened or running some validations.

Inventory Item Transfers with Multi Bin
  • Products Online Download

We have added a functionality on the tool to accepts new Dynamics GP Products at runtime! There will be no need from the development team to release new package each time we add a module, we will be updating our host with Product configuration and all the necessary setup and the end user will only download the product to get it active:

image

  • Filtered Templates

Now you can filter the templates page by any available column, you just need to click on the column to get exactly what you are looking for:

image

  • Updated Menus Design:

We been asked many times which are your menus and which are other products menus within the “Additional” list, therefore we have identified the menus related to the Excel Paste with “DI”:

Hope that this helps.

Selecting a New Microsoft Dynamics GP Partner

I got an interesting questions from one of the Dynamics GP users out of my region, on how to select the best partner to deliver my demands, for sure my immediate reply was “Select me!”

However, not all customers will select me! And this user been looking for local partner in their area, therefore I felt that this is the best time to publish how do I select a new partner if I been a customer and how not to be blamed if the partner been not as expected.

I been through this before, where I been selected to evaluate tendering process for selecting a partner for a customer out of my region who runs GP for a while and looking to re-implement the product to follow the standards and work on the product correctly.

For partner selection, I normally analyze all the aspects carefully before recommending any partners even if I worked with them closely, just to make sure that customers fully comfortable with the recommended partner before doing the selection, normally I recommend people I know abroad and looking for local partners to follow steps below before signing the agreement with the new partner:

Major Selection Criteria:

1.      Ask for the complete list of customers, make sure to visit 3 as per your selection not the partner and randomly talk to at least 10 on phone, select users from the accounting department who works on the product and have no interest in recommending the partner, ask for partner performance in delivering support, knowledge in business and knowledge in Dynamics GP modules, plus what modules do they really implements for customers? Do they deliver the core application modules to close the project or they really providing their customers with the max of Dynamics GP features.

2.      Ask the partner to deliver a presentation on Microsoft Dynamics GP features for you, and make sure to ignore normal product modules and focus your questions on the modules that requires a real experts in the product like (Payment Document Management, Cashbook Management, Electronic Funds Transfer, Electronic Bank Reconciliation, KPIs Management, Requisitions Management, and Workflow) which will enhance the product usability in the future and will benefit your organization.

3.      Ask to meet the resource who will be handling your support and make sure to include his name in the contract if you liked his experience.

4.      Make sure that the partner you selects runs a helpdesk system with monitored response time KPI to make sure that any delays in your call be monitored and accountable.

5.     Grant added value for partner who worked on a business near to yours with other customers, this is really make a big difference.

With the above points, all your partners will get low scores, but at least you will know who gets the highest!

Other Points to Consider from the blogsphere:

  1. The partner you choose should be a "Managed Partner" for Dynamics GP by Microsoft. This assures access to local Microsoft resources and response to your needs by a team that is incented to work with you.
  2. Years in business and years of Microsoft Dynamics Experience - more is better. The average life of a Microsoft Dynamics GP partner is less than 4 years. Many partners have come and gone over the years. Many have closed their doors, sold, merged or have been acquired. Many of these players have resurfaced with new company names and new faces, leaving clients with broken partnerships and promises.
  3. Breadth of experience. Make sure partner has specialist and certified professionals for core competencies (Financial, Distribution/Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Payroll/Human Resources, CRM, etc.) around Dynamics.
  4. Partner Advantage Support. This is the highest level of support a partner can get from Microsoft for Dynamics. Your partner should have a contract with Microsoft for this level of Dynamics GP support. This provides the partner 24×7, level II one hour response times. Otherwise, 3 hour estimated response times is the norm, 8-5, level one support (less than the level of support a client can contract for).
  5. Microsoft Certified Sales Professionals. Partners with this position are allowed to provide clients with special offers on licenses and Microsoft services.
  6. Dedicated Client Account Manger (often referred to as a Customer Sales Manager, CSM, within the Microsoft Dynamics community). Partners that have CSMs value long-term relationships with customers and hold events to ensure your organization stays on top of the latest features and functionality long after go-live.
  7. Microsoft Sure Step Methodology for implementations. This methodology ensures confidence that implementations will go smoothly, be consistently replicated, and have predictable outcomes.
  8. Reasonable travel time and travel expense charges. These charges can add as much as a 50% to 100% surcharge to the effective hourly rate.
  9. Relationships with all of the Dynamics GP Independent Software Vendors (ISV) related to your implementation. Make sure your new partner has a positive previous working relationship with these vendors.

Working with Customers remotely

Many of us support customers remotely to save time and avoid any unnecessary costs, some customers can afford a remote connection with high technology to make the helpdesk support engineer life easier, however others are not!

To workaround this we used to use http://www.TeamViewer.com before, but after realizing the cost of the product that is around 800$ we have switched to http://www.AMMYY.com, it is a simple remote desktop sharing application that works perfectly without the need to perform any complicated installations and cost is affordable (around 30$!).

We do support our own accounting department who are in the same building but different floor remotely!

Dynamics GP Excel Paste Templates

A new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP Excel Paste has been released, but not the one that pastes with header and details, instead we have decided to release “templates support” version until getting the other version ready due to the high demand to get this feature and to reduce the support tasks that been assigned to the support team.

By releasing this version, end users will be able to download ready templates from the following page:

http://di.jo/GPExcelPasteTemplates.aspx

And simply paste the template into the Dynamics GP Excel Paste Setup form as shown in the video below:

Setup Excel Paste Templates

Experts can easily create templates, copy what they have created from the grid to Excel and just send it to me for publishing, this will make users life easier!

Enjoy!

Dynamics GP Excel Paste Updates

Since the first day I announced the release of the excel paste, I been getting questions and requests from customers who already purchased the tool to do few modifications.

Issues started with unique screens, since the product is totally dynamic and does not have screens statically defined, sometimes few screens might not be effective as required and we been working the last few weeks on catching these screens by following customers requests.

Honestly I didn’t expect this number of requests nor the number of interested customers, which added a big number of helpdesk incidents to cover customers demands and product gaps.

One of the big things we used to get was to include the ability of having “headers” and “details” as a part of the product functionality so end users can paste multiple invoices at once or one invoice with multiple lines and each line with multiple serials, and here the challenge was started!

We been able to dynamically deliver the first part, we have adjusted the product to accept multiple windows by having one to many relation between the header and details lines. Below video might clarify more:

Example on header and details lines in GP Excel Paste

This version will be published soon once it get released from the Quality Assurance team and fine tuning some features, and will keep trying hard to find a solution for items and serials.

I noticed an article by Steve Endow introducing a new feature added to the post master utility and I expected this to be an awesome feature, but honestly I never expected to be such a change.

Andrew Dean has finalized developing a new enhancement to their Post Master utility to be able to post batches automatically using a windows service that is always running, with the ability to drop reports using PDF into a user specific directory!

I saw this in Andrew video below, and as a developer I been sure that all such stuff is doable if GP was running, however the new ERA now is having all these features while GP closed, enjoy watching the video below:

Excel Paste for “Any Screen” in Microsoft Dynamics GP

 

Last few days, we have released a tool to paste data from Excel into Dynamics GP GL Transaction Entry form and published the tool for all users with no charge.

From that day, the development team in DI has decided to go further with this and tried to enhance the dynamicity of the tool to go beyond what we have developed and develop a tool for sale but worth payment, so end users can define the paste path and how to paste columns in Dynamics GP.

In addition they wanted to make this for all GP forms not only GL Transaction Entry, and going from there below what we have developed.

If you would like to watch this live on what we have done using excel paste for forms with scrolling windows, please take a look into the following video:

Purchase Order Excel Paste

So what if you do not have scrolling window and you want to paste from excel into “Cards”? We have included this we well! Check below video on how to paste customers:

Customer Card Excel Paste

Initially, users will need to analyze what fields need to be included in the paste operation, for example let us take the purchase order screen as an example:

image

I have picked the integration path that I need on the screen and been ready to setup my Excel Paste using the following setup screen:

image

End user will be able to define what they just analyzed using the above screen, they just select Form Name, Window Name and start selecting fields one by one.

Once finalizing the setup, copy data from an excel like the below:

image

And just paste on the purchase order screen:

Enjoy!!!

Dynamics GP Journal Entry: Paste From Excel–Free Add-in

This morning, I been in my company with the team and been discussing what kind of innovations we should think of next, specially after delivering the first version of data level security for partners out of the kitchen for Quality Assurance and testing!

While reviewing articles published by the community leaders, we have noticed an article by Mark Polino discussing a product enhancement to have the ability to paste from excel into General Transaction Entry form, and we liked the idea and started the development!

Below is our outcome:

Paste from Excel

And in writing, you will need to request a DLL from Dynamics Innovations by sending a mail to me (temporary until publishing the file) you just need to click on the below link and download the tool, then place the DLLs in your AddIns folder:

http://www.di.jo/GPExcelPaste.aspx

Go to excel and create a new excel to look as the below:

image

Copy data from this excel and get back to Transaction Entry window of Dynamics GP, go to additional >> Paste From Excel, or press on CTRL + F and enjoy!

Update: While testing the tool we have noticed the below:

1. Distribution reference column is required, you will need include the column while copying even if the column was empty.

2. Tool was not accepting empty cells in credit and debit columns, it was modified to work.

3. Tool has been merged with paid version and published over the company website.
