Delete all but Master Files

You have set up a Pilot environment, loaded all of your setups and master files, tweaked the settings, tweaked the master file setups, have your security perfect, entered some test transactions and are ready to go live. Well, you do not want to leave the test transactions in there, but you want everything else Continue reading

New resource to find Dynamics GP table and field information

Since I have posted a lot of Dynamics GP table information and SQL code, I often get asked the question “what table holds ____ “? Sometimes I just know the answer off the top of my head (yeah, I think that’s scary, too), but once in a while I have to look it up. I have various ways of doing this, sometimes it involves glancing through the list of tables, other times I have used the Support Debugging Tool  created by David Musgrave .  Now there is another great resource for this provided to us again by David Musgrave. You can read all about it in David’s post on Getting Table and Field Data out of Dexterity Dictionaries , however I thought I would take you through an example of how to use this. This example assumes that you have already installed the Support Debugging Tool  - if you have not, that’s your first step. Now to our example (I am using GP 2010 for this, but it should work the same for GP 10.0): Log into GP as ‘sa’.

Renaming tables in Crystal Reports

From the May 2010 GP Reports Viewer newsletter comes a tip for renaming the tables (or views or stored procedures) on Crystal Reports. Some may ask why this in needed – I actually use this quite a bit in the following scenario. I often find that I am using one report as a template for another when working with Dynamics GP tables because the table structure is the same for many work, open and history tables. For example, if I am creating two versions of an SOP invoice – unposted and posted – most of the tables and fields are the same except for the two main tables. In that case, I just need to change SOP10100 to SOP30200 and SOP10200 to SOP30300. This is pretty straight forward to do in Crystal, however the name of the changed tables will still show with the original name almost everywhere, which can be quite confusing, especially when others may be working on the reports after you are done with them Continue reading
