Dynamics GP Web Client: Kill all web client sessions

A customer has reported an issue with web client that many sessions are open while no body is working, they wanted to kill all these sessions without restarting the server, few researches over the internet returned the following CMD commands that did the trick, just Right Click the cmd.exe and run as administrator, then paste the following commands:

Taskkill /F /IM Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.Web.Services.Runtime.Process.exe
Taskkill /F /IM conhost.exe

Viola! You saved an hour of manually killing these in your task manager or session manager.

Note: To make sure that the windows cleans all sessions at night, I saved these commands into Batch.bat file and scheduled this with windows scheduler to run every night 4 AM, so users can find a clear log next morning.

Dynamics GP Purchase Order Workflow: Approver requires A Full User not Limited

 

If you are looking to implement the Purchase Order Workflow, you must keep in mind that limited users will not be able to approve Purchase Orders, user should be FULL user to be able to process orders, I am not sure why Microsoft folks designed it this way but I got one of my customers to purchase additional 5 users to get this implemented!

I have requested this enhancement from Microsoft and kindly asking for your votes to get this fixed, below is the article on MS Connect:

Happy ordering!

Dynamics GP Purchasing - Request for Quotations module

Thinking about this subject, can’t find a company who does not follow the standards in their procurement process, everyone brings 3 quotations from 3 different suppliers and selects the best fit from requirements and pricing!

I found this process on Connect requested since 2010 with very limited votes! I would kindly ask for your help in voting and getting this scheduled soon, below the description of the product suggestion:

I think Dynamics GP is one of the few applications in the ERP world that does not have the request for quotation functionality, the process is like this: - RFQ (enter details for items willing to purchase) - Select one or more vendors and the system should print separate RFQ for each (and prepare the system to receive responses from each) - Receive quotes from Vendors and update on system - Compare vendor’s prices against same lines in RFQ - transfer one of the quotes to Purchase order Note: The is the simplest cycle possible and there are many other advanced consideration that can be added later on like: - Issuing PO against more than one vendor quote for same RFQ - Ability to update quotation with new discounts and data maintaining original information and changes (quote version control). - Ability to make the budget commitment from RFQ point rather than PO point (and this will be major advance for the application as most of the people in business or government would like to reserve budget before knowing the vendor and not after like it is currently acquiring in GP) - Specify a minimum number of quotations if the RFQ estimated price is more than a specific value. - Include in GP workflow if possible - Link to specific one or more requisitions created in Business Portal.

Web Client – Date Fields “Please check and reenter the date”

If you are using the web client, you might be going through the message in the subject, this is annoying for users with too many daily transactions!

As reported by one of my customers! This issue occurs only when you have the date format with string month (dd-MMM-yy) like the below:

Just make sure that the month is numeric (dd-MM-yyyy) and you will get rid of this message!
