Comment on SQL Query – Sales Accounts Due Report by Sivakumar Venkataraman

The RM_Customer_TEMP table is used as a base table for quite a few reports and not just the Accounts Due report. It is also used for the RM Detailed Trial Balance and RM Detailed Trial Balance – Options as well. In the Accounts Due report, this column Aging Period Amounts are not populated in the temp table, which is why it appears as 0. Hope this helps.

The best bid would be to restore the DB and try the year end again.

Hello David – we are using v10 and we have some BBF items that were given an openyear of ’0′ (may have been due to an Econnect upload).
I thought simply updating the GL20000 may correct these items but - we have since gone through the year end close.
I believe these items did not get processed properly with the year end which is why they are still in GL20000 – I am wondering if the process to fix this is to create the record in the GL30000- remove it from the GL20000 and then run reconcile.
Have you ever run into this – is this process reasonable to fix our opening balance issue.

In report writer the report uses a RM Cust Temp table. There is an additional field called Aging Period Amounts. When I place it on the report with an array index of 1, it shows 0.00. I don’t see something similiar in your query. I’m assuming this is for the aging buckets. Do you have any insight into this field?

Comment on Rude Email non Responders by Stefanie Christiana

I’m guilty of keeping most emails in my inbox. However, I do mark emails as unread if I have not responded or still need follow up. Currently I only have 11 marked that way so it’s not out of hand. This also works when I read them on my blackberry, I can still mark as unread.

I cannot do without Blackberry because then I’d be tied to my desk and I do not want that. The part I disagree with is that you have to turn off email to not be rude. This is where manners take place. If you’re having dinner with someone, turn your phone on vibrate or even off. Check it on bathroom breaks if you have to. Don’t start reading an email while talking to someone. Don’t read emails while attending a meeting/demo/etc. This list can go on and on. I’m pretty forward with people when they do these things to me. I say something like “Do you need to continue this conversation another time?” or even “We’re almost finished here. Can that wait?” My friends (workforce or not) I am more direct and just tell them it’s kind of rude to that. I have one particular friend who is such a repeat offender, I just leave when he starts doing it. Basically, I don’t need my hands tied behind my back to not slap someone while walking down the street; likewise, I shouldn’t have to turn off my email to force myself to pay attention to someone speaking to me.

That being said, I do sometimes close my email client for an hour or two while sitting at my desk. I can get a big block of productive time that way. We are conditioned to think that everything is an immediate need, especially when it comes to email. I think this is what your point was and I totally agree with that!

Thanks for your reply. Here is the output from the query I ran (it appears to have worked):

/* Updating AA Code Access in the database AZDF */
DELETE FROM AZDF..AAG02000
INSERT INTO AZDF.dbo.AAG02000 (USERID, aaTrxDimID, aaTrxDimCodeID, aaDistribute, aaAdjust)
(SELECT B.USERID, A.aaTrxDimID, A.aaTrxDimCodeID, 1, 1 FROM AZDF..AAG00401 A CROSS JOIN DYNAMICS..SY01400 B)
/* Updating AA Code Access in the database AZPB */
DELETE FROM AZPB..AAG02000
INSERT INTO AZPB.dbo.AAG02000 (USERID, aaTrxDimID, aaTrxDimCodeID, aaDistribute, aaAdjust)
(SELECT B.USERID, A.aaTrxDimID, A.aaTrxDimCodeID, 1, 1 FROM AZPB..AAG00401 A CROSS JOIN DYNAMICS..SY01400 B)
/* Updating AA Code Access in the database TWO */
DELETE FROM TWO..AAG02000
INSERT INTO TWO.dbo.AAG02000 (USERID, aaTrxDimID, aaTrxDimCodeID, aaDistribute, aaAdjust)
(SELECT B.USERID, A.aaTrxDimID, A.aaTrxDimCodeID, 1, 1 FROM TWO..AAG00401 A CROSS JOIN DYNAMICS..SY01400 B)

Surprisingly it didn’t work on old cards, and doesn’t touch new ones either. The “Distribute” and “Adjust” columns are still empty … we want all users to have all access upon creating brand new Transaction Dimension Codes (and also update all old ones too).

Once the query ran, did you see “xxx rows updated” or something like that? Ideally this query inserts records into the AAG02000 (user AA code access table). So if records were inserted, then it means that the permissions should have been granted.
