Free Stuff for GP!
You read that correctly! Microsoft has decided to change the way they work with some of their utilities and tools. Previously there were charges to get access to tools or utilities like Customer Modifier and Customer Combiner (and Vendor, Account, Item etc.). On the partner side, we had to purchase those outside of the normal ordering processes (they weren’t “modules” like ordering something like Integration Manager was). They want to streamline that to eliminate some of their Direct Billing policies and that means Dynamics GP customers win! What’s Free? Well here is a list of what I know of, and it’s effective March 1, 2012. Keep in mind this has only recently been announced so don’t be surprised if your partner doesn’t know all of the details about it yet – the information is just trickling out now and not everything on Partnersource is yet updated for us

Make a GREAT list – checklist for Field Formating (common things to check)
I started this post 4 months ago, but never finished it. In doing some Builder research for another post I stumbled across a blog from another SmartList Lover, Sara Corbett. Her post SmartList Builder Etiquette is in the same vein as this post, but, interestingly, she lists different items than I do. Compare the two posts and comment on what you think is important for a Great list… What is the difference between a good SmartList and a great SmartList? In my opinion, it is often in the details – mostly the Formating details. Here is a handy checklist of common things to check: Field formating — press the blue arrow in the header left of Display Name to launch the field settings: Note Index fields – check the box to pull the Note text All Account Index fields – check the box to pull the Account Number Phone & Fax numbers – select the dropdown for the Phone number formating Social Security numbers – select the dropdown for Social Security formating Date fields – check the box to display 1/1/1900 as a blank (also can change the date formating, too) Fields from SQL Views – make sure you turn off the $ on quantity fields and add % for percentage fields Set Decimal places – especially for fields stored in GP as integers but displayed with decimals in GP (like the Shipping Weight on the Item master is stored as 100 where it is really 1.00, HR module stores most hour totals this way.) Field Display Names – Add field names from the setup for user defined fields
