## Moving to Archive

- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/moving-to-archive/
- Date: 2024-01-01
- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

A new year brings changes and 2024 is bringing some big ones. DynamicAccounting.net is moving to a new host under the hood. More importantly, it’s moving to archive status as of January 1. **As of December 31, 2024, it will go away.**

**Historical Excel Reporting WILL continue to be available and supported for the life of Dynamics GP.**  It will eventually have a new home later this year.

This has been a difficult decision, but the site is massive and it was challenging to migrate. Even as an archive, there are ongoing maintenance requirements and costs. My work and focus have shifted over the last nine years at Fastpath. I still work with GP, but I spend less time with it each year and this site doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

It’s been fun writing the fraud stories this year and those will continue at a new location. My writing is moving to a revamped [mpolino.com](https://mpolino.com). I’d love for you to check it out.

Feel free to grab whatever articles or resources you need from the site. Just know it’s all going away in a year.

## Bonus – Tweaking the algorithm

Just a little bonus today from the [Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/hedge-fund-two-sigma-is-hit-by-trading-scandal-501913cb?mod=hp_lead_pos5):

A researcher at Two Sigma Investments adjusted the hedge fund’s investing models without authorization, the firm has told clients, leading to losses in some funds, big gains in others and fresh regulatory scrutiny.

The researcher, Jian Wu, a senior vice president at New York-based Two Sigma, was trying to boost his compensation, Two Sigma has told clients, without identifying Wu. He made changes over the past year that resulted in a total of $620 million in unexpected gains and losses, according to people close to the matter and investor letters. Two Sigma has placed Wu on administrative leave.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is examining the matter. …

Wu’s changes led to gains of $450 million in total for some Two Sigma funds—including those in which the firm’s own executives and employees invest, as well as those available to clients. But they also led to a total of $170 million in losses for other funds compared with how they otherwise would have fared—losses largely borne by clients. Two Sigma has made them whole.

People familiar with the situation said Wu was trying to improve the firm’s performance, which would have benefited his career and potential pay.

## Musings – It’s time to let go of the COVID guilt

- Type: original article

I’ve decided to start a regular, or irregular, column with my current musings on my personal site [www.mpolino.com](http://https//www.mpolino.com). These musings are as much for me as for anyone else. Expect random streams of consciousness and don’t assume that my position is fixed on any opinions expressed. Also, don’t expect Dynamics content.

I’m shooting for weekly on Monday morning, but this is subject to my whims. My first musing is up at<https://mpolino.com/musings-its-time-to-let-go-of-the-covid-guilt/> and reprinted below.

---

Today’s musing, it’s time to let go of the COVID guilt. Times are hard for a lot of people, but not for everyone. Despite the challenges, people still work, marry, and have children. Life goes on, even if it’s a little weird. Some people will have used this time to do something good, lose some weight, tackle that novel, remodel a bathroom, whatever. It’s can be tough to feel good about accomplishments when others are hurting and when so much around us seems out of whack.

Let it go. Don’t feel bad for doing something good.

On the other side, if you’ve put on a COVID 15, binge-watched your way through Tiger King for the 7th time, and not bothered to clean your bathroom, it’s still okay. Everyone is dealing with the oddities of 2020 differently. Let go of the guilt and move on.

I stumbled across something I’d written a long time ago and never published. I think it’s funny enough to warrant a short series of Friday Fun posts. In this world of fake news, I’ve realized that many famous quotes are actually incorrect. I’ve corrected these quotes to properly reflect Dynamics GP or it’s predecessor Great Plains.

Since these incorrect quotes have been repeated enough that everyone believes them, this series will probably offend somebody. That’s fine, just keep it to yourself and be offended quietly. Also, consider these quotes copyrighted, since I ~~made~~ dug them up. I[If you want them on a t-shirt, mug, or something else, that’s an option for some of the quotes.

We wrap things up for now with the A-Team.

**“I love it when a plan comes together.” – Steve Balmer on the purchase of Great Plains**

Oh, you thought this was Hannibal Smith’s line from the A-Team? Seriously? Can’t you just see Steve Balmer, sweaty and shiny-headed, rubbing his palms together and saying this line as the acquisition of Great Plains closed?

It’s back to Presidents today. They are just so quotable.

**“It’s about Dynamics GP stupid” – Bill Clinton**

![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/48/Bill_Clinton_closeup_at_dedication_of_WWII_memorial,_May_2004.jpg)

When Bill uttered this line people were aghast. It was considered insulting to publicly call the President stupid. (At the time, the President was George H.W. Bush, #41 for those of you unfamiliar with the naming convention of Bush Presidents.)  The line was intended to show that the President was out of touch and it may have been a deciding factor in the election. Funny thing is, you could quote this line back to Microsoft every couple of years and it would still be relevant.

They say you never discuss politics or religion at parties. We’ve done lots of politics, let’s try some religion.

**“Go ye into all the word and sell Microsoft Dynamics  GP.” – Doug Burgum  (In an ironic twist this is known as  the “great commission”)**

![Gov. Doug Burgum presents an award (cropped).jpg](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Gov._Doug_Burgum_presents_an_award_%28cropped%29.jpg/220px-Gov._Doug_Burgum_presents_an_award_%28cropped%29.jpg)

I know, you think Jesus said this, but Jesus wasn’t really into selling stuff. The fact that this quote is called the “great commission” really points to software sales. Doug is now the governor of North Dakota, Jesus didn’t feel the need to run for political office.

Microsoft has often been called the Evil Empire and after the acquisition closed, I’m pretty sure this conversation went down.

## Pennies for Taylor

In case you missed it, my friend, co-presenter, MS MVP, GP Lifehacker, and all around good guy Shawn Dorward’ son Taylor was involved in a near-drowning accident. Taylor survived through some heroic efforts but has a long road back to recovery.

At the GP Tech conference last week, David Musgrave of Winthrop Development Consultants offered to donate 10% of his sales through 9/30 to help pay Taylor’s medical bills. Kevin Rasmussen of Ethotech is matching that offer. I going to join in with the same offer. 10% of any sales of [Historical Excel Reporting](/historical-excel-reporting/) between now and September 30 will get donated toward Taylor’s medical bills.

David Musgrave has a longer post with more details on Taylor, including a great video from Belinda Allen. Make sure to check out David’s post at:

It’s back to Star Wars for inspiration this week:

**“It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy together as father and son.” – Steve Balmer to Doug Burgum on the acquisition of Great Plains.**

![](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7152/6674068073_b46f2ae8b6_z.jpg)

Microsoft’s acquisition of Great Plains started them down the path with ERP systems and I’m pretty sure this is how the conversation went.

**“Use the GPUG, Luke” – Obi-Wan Kenobi**

![Obi-Wan by RoninLeeArt](https://pre00.deviantart.net/0ab4/th/pre/i/2013/246/5/3/obi_wan_by_roninjedilee-d6kxbwg.jpg)

Yes I know, you think the line is “Use the Force, Luke”, but after all the remastering and digital conversions, the movie you see today is not the movie from 1978. I saw it in theaters as a kid and I can confirm that this quote is correct one. It’s also the right answer if you’re looking for help with Dynamic GP. Join [GPUG](http://www.gpug.com) today to get help, answers, and meet others working to get the most out of Dynamics GP.

Moving forward in history this week, we’re looking at a quote by the most beloved of the Teflon Presidents, Ronald Reagan.

**“Mr. Gorbachev, tear up your ERP system and buy Great Plains!” – Ronald Reagan**

![Ronald Reagan Vector by IForbesUK](https://orig00.deviantart.net/7463/f/2010/222/1/d/ronald_reagan_vector_by_iforbesuk.jpg)

Reagan’s speech at the Berlin wall has of course been altered to fit a political narrative, when in fact Reagan was giving Gorbachev a way out of communism with a tool that would fix his central planning problems.

## Friday Fun Quotes – Honest Abe

Last week I was doing some clean up (side note: I’ve got a small pile of lightly worn MVP gear if anyone interested) and I stumbled across something I’d written a long time ago and never published. I think it’s funny enough to warrant a short series of Friday Fun posts. In this world of fake news, I’ve realized that many famous quotes are actually incorrect. I’ve corrected these quotes to properly reflect Dynamics GP or it’s predecessor Great Plains.

Let’s start, somewhat ironically, with the man whose image has been used  to sell more snake oil than any other in US marketing history, Honest Abe:

**“Six score and ten years  from now Great Plains will bring forth a new ERP solution, conceived in Dexterity and dedicated to the proposition that all ERP systems are NOT created equal, Great Plains is better.” – Abraham Lincoln.**

![060116blog abraham lincoln](https://images.techhive.com/images/article/2016/06/060116blog-abraham-lincoln-100664056-primary.idge.jpg)

If Honest Abe Lincoln said it, it must be true. Clearly, he was a visionary President, and with this quote, we see why he is considered by many to be the greatest U.S. President.

I’ve had a lot going on so I’m behind on some GP stories.  For those of you who missed this, Pam Misialek was let go from Microsoft in late January. MSDynamicsWorld has the story here: https://msdynamicsworld.com/story/veteran-product-marketer-dynamics-gp-pam-misialek-departs-microsoft

I heard about this soon after it happened, but figured it was up to Pam to decide how and when to tell people. This was a tough loss. Pam has been a huge cheerleader for GP, it’s partners, and customers. When I did the first 50 Tips presentation at Convergence a long time ago, Pam was my copresenter, and we’ve had fun ever since, even though she never let me do a 50 Shades of Dynamics GP presentation.

I’m looking forward to see where she lands.

This month’s Journal of Accountancy has a [fun holiday gift guide for accountants](https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/issues/2017/dec/2017-cpa-technology-gift-guide.html) so I thought I would link to it and provide a few of my own gift recommendations.

[![](/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/512zLnML2LL._SL1000_.jpg)](/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/512zLnML2LL._SL1000_.jpg)

This [Tao Tronics Bluetooth headset](http://amzn.to/2l6ai5T) is a great set of Bluetooth headphones at a really nice price. They are available for about $25 on Amazon. I like mine so much that I’ve got 2 pairs. They fit much better in my ears than the Beats I own, at a way lower price. These are perfect for shutting out the world and getting work done.

[![](/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/81wfrgZ8VL._SL1280_-1024x1024.jpg)](/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/81wfrgZ8VL._SL1280_.jpg)

I’m a big fan of this [MPOW charging case](http://amzn.to/2iWhAoI). Plug in your Bluetooth headset, drop it in the pouch and charge your headset in your pocket. Even better, the headset will charge, even when the pouch is plugged in and recharging. This is a steal for less than $15 on Amazon.

[![](/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/7164JIm6yPL._SL1500_-1024x1024.jpg)](/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/7164JIm6yPL._SL1500_.jpg)

[Google WiFi](http://amzn.to/2iWhAoI) has transformed my home network. I have an older, concrete-bunker of a house with WiFi dead zones at each end. Google WiFi wiped out those dead zones. My SmartTV’s no longer buffer, the kids don’t complain about Xbox bandwidth, and I’ve got range well into the backyard. For $269, it’s not the cheapest, but it’s cheaper than many competing products, and how do you place a value on stopping the whining?

You know how cool you are, make sure everyone else knows by making them watch [The Accountant](http://amzn.to/2AgienV). Yeah, that’s what you do for a living. Grab this on DVD or one of the streaming services.

We were without power until from 12:05 am (as in midnight) Monday through about 2pm Friday. On Tuesday we threw in the towel and went to a hotel for a Hurrication. I needed power and internet to work and we had some folks with us who were at risk in the heat.

Here at the DynamicAccounting.net world headquarters we are in the path of Hurricane Irma. In the graphic below, we are located just north of the **H** in the middle of Florida. Not to worry we are hunkered down with water, Diet Dew, a hurricane playlist, and lots of GP books to help pass the time. In all seriousness we’re in an all concrete block structure with food, water, fuel, propane, and other supplies along with a plan to stay (including several days without power) and a plan to leave (should the roof fly away) with 3 close places to go. The plywood goes on the windows today and we’ll finish cleaning up loose items like patio umbrellas and chairs as well.

I’ll post some pics/videos if I can. The server is not hosted here so I expect the site to stay up, but I don’t expect to be able to post for a few days early next week.

## Happy #FabrikamDay

- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

As if we need an excuse to party, every 10 years or so the sample company in GP get refreshed with a new default date. The current default date is today 4/12/17. Ten years ago I went to work  and realized the actual date had caught up to the sample company date. Until Microsoft made a change, GP sample company data would be stuck in the past. Now it’s 10 years later and a fun way to remember all things Dynamics GP.

Don’t over think #FabrikamDay. Use it as a reason to have some fun, explain what a green phone is to millennials, and toast Aaron Fitz and Pilar Ackerman. Here is to the next 10 years with Dynamics GP.

At Amplify I’m doing a new presentation: **Naked and Afraid: Dynamics GP Security**. Like my 50 Tips presentation, it’s going to be a lot of fun, full of great info, and have a pile of backup material to take home. Like Building Dashboards, the information is timely, practical, and immediately useful. I’ve worked to pull out fluff and give you tools, strategies, and specifics for dealing with GP security. On top of all of that, I’ve got 3 reasons why you need to attend:

1.

Fabrikam day is coming next year. For those of you who don’t know, Fabrikam day is the default date fixed in the sample Fabrikam company. It was updated a few versions back to 4/12/17. I would love to see Amplify 2017 happen over Fabrikam day. It’s not a month end, it should be passed the quarter end for most people, it’s a great date for a conference. Let’s have a big Fabrikam day blow out next year at Amplify!

Note, this is just a proposal, Microsoft and GPUG can do whatever they want, but I would LOVE be able to celebrate Fabrikam day at Amplify 2017.

## Friday Fun: Aaron Fitz strikes again-Couple sues after ‘disastrous’ home renovation for HGTV’s ‘Love It or List It’

> The Raleigh couple says they were left with “disastrous work,” including holes in the floor and windows painted shut.

Why is a headline like this funny?  *[Couple sues after ‘disastrous’ home renovation for HGTV’s ‘Love It or List It’](http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/04/20/couple-sues-after-disastrous-home-renovation-hgtvs-love-list/83272894/)*Has DynamicAccounting been hacked? What the heck does it have to do with Dynamics GP?

From the article: [**Bold highlight added**]

*Per their contract with Big Coat, the couple deposited $140,000 that would be used to pay **Aaron Fitz** Construction and its subcontractors. About $85,000 was distributed to **Aaron Fitz** during the overhaul, even though Murphy and Sullivan say they expressed concerns about mediocre reviews seen on Angie’s List.*

If you’ve ever worked with GP at all, you’ll know that Aaron Fitz Electrical (Pretty close to Construction!) is the first customer in the sample GP company.

I have “sold” things to Aaron Fitz in The World Online and Fabrikam for years and they almost never pay their bills. Clearly someone should have taken these poor people aside and told them that Aaron Fitz is a fictional entity.

Look, I feel bad for these folks, but at the same time, I’m laughing my butt off. Yes, I have a weird sense of humor, deal with it.

I’ve been working on a new project. It’s a little bit reporting and a little bit BI and I think it fills a pretty big practical hole in GP. What do I mean by a practical hole? Sometimes GP has a feature that technically accomplishes a task, but it’s clunky or hard to use so while a feature may technically it work, practically speaking it’s not as useful as it could be.

I’ve got folks beta testing this now and I expect to put it up in the Analytics section soon.  It won’t be free, but it will be reasonably priced and worth every penny. Stay tuned.

I’ve got two kids headed for college and if you cover college costs, I can still do something creative with them like this:

I know that a ton of people get value out of [DynamicAccounting.net](/). Way too many of you have stopped me and told me how much you like the site. Some of you have shown your appreciation by buying the book or paying for a short story. There is another way that you can show your appreciation.

Give toward our Kenyan Mission Trip.

Two years ago the kids went to Kenya with World Hope. They did a lot of work on a school to give learning opportunities to others who are much less fortunate than they are.

We’ve now made the decision to go to Kenya as a family before Micah heads off to college next year. This summer we will be going to Kenya as a part of a team to continue work on the school. This trip includes additional medical components and some technology work. I’m hoping I get to help with the tech piece but frankly I can shovel dirt, paint a wall or hold a wrench…poorly, but at least I’ll have a good attitude about it. We’re going to meet their needs not ours.

If you’ve gotten value from [DynamicAccounting.net](/), the way to show it is to hit the donate button and help send us to Kenya. Donations are tax deductible in the United States. I don’t know about elsewhere.

You can also follow us on the Facebook page that we have setup for the trip.

Things like “Our general depreciation threshold is items over $1,000 for items with a useful life of more than 1 year and not held for sale or resale”.  
I have clients articulate this to me but I haven’t seen a written document in at a client in some time.

## Wiseguy now Available for iPad, Nook and More

I’ve had some requests to make my short stories available for the iPad, specifically via iBooks. **Now, Wiseguy is available for the iPad as an iBook**. Simply search the book section in iTunes for Wiseguy or Polino and you’ll find it. There’s no easy way to link to it in iTunes that I can find.

Of course it’s also available as a Kindle book which can be read on the iPad, iPhone, all Android devices, Windows Phone 7, old Windows Mobile devices and the Blackberry platform.

In true Ronco style…there’s more! It’s also available for the [Nook via Barnes and Noble.](http://www.barnesandnoble.com/noresults/2940011515101) And its available in the epub format and more via Smashwords.

I’m excited about the availability of Wiseguy on all of these platforms because it gives me a chance to experiment with different distribution platforms in preparation for some other things I’m writing. I know that folks love to get these for free but if I’m going to put the work to format the stories for other platforms, you guys are going have to come up with 99 cents to support it.

## One of My Evil Plans: Fan Fiction for Dynamics GP

- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/one-of-my-evil-plans-fan-fiction-for-dynamics-gp/
- Date: 2011-04-01
- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

Now that [Debits are Forever](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/p/best-practice-guides.html#debitsforever) is out, I’m willing to talk a little bit more about this evil plan. Like the subtitle of Hugh MacLeod’s highly recommended book [Evil Plans](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591843847/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=polinofamilywebs&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1591843847),  I’m working to have fun on the road to world domination.

If you missed the last post (and really, that should have been hard to do) I’ve written some fictional short stories around Microsoft Dynamics GP. Yes, I might be insane or … I might be an evil genius.

I confess to boredom with white papers, even (especially?) the ones I’ve written. Case studies are so pristine that I could grind them up and use them for hand sanitizer. I wanted something different. My brain rebelled in the middle of writing another Best Practice Guide and came up with these wacky tales of using Microsoft Dynamics GP in unusual settings. Oh, and it keeps coming up with them. This isn’t the end.

Like many of you, I’m a CPA. I literally have a degree in boredom and can put it to use with the best of them. However, there is no reason why Dynamics GP has to be boring. So let’s have some fun. Frankly, I want to see the SAP folks and the Oracle people and whoever else standing around wondering why their ERP software isn’t cool enough for fan fiction. I want them asking what Microsoft is putting in the cool aid that turns users into FANS that are reading about ERP software.

Plus, when my kids, friends and parents ask what I do for a living, they can read about how George supports and saves secret agents using Dynamics GP. That is MUCH COOLER than explaining what ERP stands for.

It’s fitting that this is launching on April Fool’s Day because this is surely a nutty idea, though it’s no joke.  
For those of you choking on the $0.99 charge, go away. Sit in your cube and for heaven’s sake don’t read these stories, you’re not ready for this yet. But for those of you willing to peek over the cubical and drop a whopping $0.99 on something a little crazy, let’s go take over the world.

## New Dynamics GP Fiction: Debits are Forever

- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/new-dynamics-gp-fiction-debits-are-forever/

- Type: original article

For those of you who got a kick out of [A Space Alien’s Guide to Microsoft Convergence](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2011/03/space-aliens-guide-to-microsoft.html?amp&amp), I’ve got a new treat. My newest story is a bit longer at 12 pages all in. It’s titled [**Debits are Forever**](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/p/best-practice-guides.html#debitsforever) and it’s a new twist on a classic spy tale.

In [Debits are Forever](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/p/best-practice-guides.html#debitsforever) our hero, and want to be spy, George, uses Microsoft Dynamics GP to support an off-the-books spy operation. In the process he manages to save the life of a female agent, his not-so-secret love, and stop a terrorist plot, all with the power of Microsoft Dynamics GP. It’s a fast paced, fun thriller designed to make you smile. It’s also an interesting way to explain to your kids what you do everyday.

This is a grand experiment. [Debits are Forever](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/p/best-practice-guides.html#debitsforever) is $0.99 in [PDF](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/p/best-practice-guides.html#debitsforever) or Kindle format. If you liked [A Space Alien’s Guide to Microsoft Convergence](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2011/03/space-aliens-guide-to-microsoft.html?amp&amp) and you want to have a little fun with Dynamics GP, please support my little project.

*[I find myself setting this up to post on April 1 and yet, this is not an April Fools joke. Still the topic is odd enough to make the launch date ironic.]*

DynamicsWorld.co.uk is back with the 2011 edition of the 100 Most Influential People in Microsoft Dynamics. The nominations are closed and now it’s YOUR TURN to vote.

All your favorites are up there, Mariano, Leslie Vail, Dwight Specht, David Musgrave and on and on and on. And on and on and still on. The nominees are broken up into groups so you’ll have to hunt for your favorites.

[I’m in the back in Poll 13](http://www.micropoll.com/a/mpview/1068215-402111). Last year I was number 28 on the list, which frankly, seemed high to me, but I would still love to see you vote for me or any of the other nominees. Especially the Dynamics GP nominees. Let’s load the the final list with GP people.

I’ve already voted for every GP person that I can find on the list and I’ve voted for Andy Vabulas, Dwight Specht and Clinton Weldon twice since they influence not only Microsoft but my own work with Dynamics GP.

All of the nominees and voting polls are available and it looks like each poll will be highlighted over the next six weeks as well. As the saying goes in Chicago politics, vote early and vote often!

- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

Over the weekend I got some time to really fine tune the MyGPSearch.com search engine for Dynamics GP. In addition, I added a Bing option as a supplement to the Google based custom search engine. Google and Bing approach custom search in VERY different ways. You won’t necessarily get different results but how they path they take to setup custom searches is dramatically different. Bing’s options are not as customizable and as a result may return broader results which may not always be as relevant. Also, the way Bing delivers the results precludes me from adding it to the mobile sites…for now.

If you want to try the Bing option simply hit up MyGPSearch.com and click the new Bing option button in the middle.

I know that a few of think that I’m crazy. (You are correct.)

Some of you think I don’t sleep. (I sleep just fine on the 5:30 am flight to Atlanta most Monday mornings, thank you very much).

But the truth is that the creative process often creates more creativity. Yes there are periods of drought where I think that I’ve run out of ideas. Usually that means I need a break. Then there are times where I can’t stop the flow of ideas and I get frustrated because I can’t do everything at once.

Well, it’s drinking from the fire hose time in the little idea factory in my head so I’ve got a new, monthly guest column starting over at Dynamics Communities. We’ve got a really tight premise for this column. It’s titled Mad Mark, the GP Road Warrior and I’m going to tackle stories from road. The idea is to look at what actual users are doing with Dynamics GP. I’ll cover the good, the bad and maybe even some ugly. Since we’re doing movie references, I’m throwing in random ones.

The first column is up. Simply go to [https://community.dynamics.com/default.aspx](https://community.dynamics.com "https://community.dynamics.com/default.aspx") and click on the face of the handsome man standing out from the blue background. Or you can click on my face. Whatever works for you.

I decided to start things off with a look at a long time client who took the opportunity of a GP 2010 upgrade to simplify their business, their processes and the way that they use Dynamics GP. It’s a good thing I didn’t decide to simplify. I would never have written this piece.

Perhaps a few of the Accountants in the audience might appreciate a break as well.

Overview below, this looks like fun.

*In 2010, a terrifying zombie outbreak threatens to consume humanity and you fall victim to the undead curse, doomed to hunger for human flesh. In a startling turn of events, the army actually manages to contain and eliminate the threat. Life quickly returns to normal.*

*Except you’re still a zombie. And it’s tax season.*

*Complete tax returns as fast as possible without eating your coworkers! With any luck, you can still make it to zombie partner.*

- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

Richard Whaley looks at some work he has done cleaning up after Sure Step Mis-Steps. I think that figuring out how to adapt Sure Step to the implementation size is important. The problem is that many smaller clients don’t want to pay for the time it takes to document an implementation. From the partner side those are often the implementations with the greatest risk and therefore the ones in need of the most documentation.

## When to Say Goodbye to a Dynamics GP Client

- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/when-to-say-goodbye-to-a-dynamics-gp-client/
- Date: 2010-08-25
- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

Search Engine Journal has a new post up on When to Say Goodbye to a SEO Client. SEO is Search Engine Optimization for those of you new to that term. As I was reading the post about when to turn a client loose I was struck by how much of this applies to Dynamics GP clients as well. See if any of these sound familiar:

- Is the client serious about their success?
- Do they even want to understand what you are doing?
- Is the client only available when something is wrong?
- Are they not willing to take your advice?
- Do they expect the world?
- Is your time being undervalued?
- Are they trying to nickel and dime you?

Notice that none of this has anything to do with ERP in the source article. Bad behavior is bad behavior.

Here is the problem if you are a Dynamics GP user. If you fall into these behaviors you are not getting the most out of your partner or your implementation. It’s that simple. You are doing your company a disservice by being dysfunctional. Don’t handicap yourself by being stubborn, inattentive or cheap. Ultimately you are the one who suffers. Take responsibility for your system.

Read the whole thing to see how much you think applies to Dynamics GP.

## New Best Practice Guides for Microsoft Dynamics GP

- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/new-best-practice-guides-for-microsoft-dynamics-gp/
- Date: 2010-08-23
- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

Here at [DynamicAccounting.net](/) I’m launching a new initiative, [Best Practice Guides](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/p/best-practice-guides.html) for Dynamics GP. The first one is free and it’s an update of my previous Use Tax document for Dynamics GP.

Not all of these documents will be free but this first one should give you a great idea of what to expect. The goal is to provide information about a specific Dynamics GP topic that can’t be adequately covered in a blog post but isn’t long enough or is too specialized to be a book. Use tax is a great example because the document  has very useful information for the folks who need it but the audience can be very limited.

I expect these guides to be 20 to 75 pages in length and they will sell for $20-$30. The Use Tax guide will always be free.

In some cases these will be expanded versions of speaking topics. The guides will allow users a shortcut to detailed information about that topic saving a lot of Google digging. I will have more guides up soon and I’m looking forward to tacking some topics that I’ve had on my list for a while.

I hope you like the new Best Practice Guides and that they help improve your Dynamics GP implementation.

He asked me not blog about it and I didn’t. I suspected that the date might slip to mid-May. Errol proved me wrong, even when I started hearing rumors in February that it might be delayed, the GP team managed to deliver. Based on the betas I’ve seen, GP 2010 is going to be great release building on the promise of features added in GP 10. I’m impressed that they were able to deliver on schedule.

## Is Microsoft’s Renaming Killing Dynamics GP?

- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/is-microsofts-renaming-killing-dynamics-gp/
- Date: 2009-06-19
- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

[Erik Ernst asked the question](http://dynamicsuser.net/nav/b/admin/posts/microsoft-is-killing-navision) is Microsoft’s rebranding to Dynamics NAV killing Navision? He provides some Google trends data to support the argument. He also provides comparisons for the other renamed Dynamics produc,s, including Dynamics GP, showing a generally declining search trend for effectively all of the products. I’m not sure how compelling this argument is. In the case of Great Plains, searching for “Great Plains” will provide a lot of hits that aren’t software related. I actually think GP is a pretty good middle ground identifier since it was routinely called that when it was Great Plains. Also, more folks may know that they are Microsoft products and don’t need Google to tell them where to get more information.

So what do you think? Read [Erik’s article](http://dynamicsuser.net/nav/b/admin/posts/microsoft-is-killing-navision) and tell me if you prefer Dynamics GP or Dynamics Great Plains (’cause the Dynamics part isn’t going away any time soon.) Also, do you think the name change hurts or helps the brand?

- Performance Point is on all the larger GP client’s radar but not on their immediate task list. I suspect that they will be ready about the same time that Performance Point is ready for them, around version 2, with large scale adoption in typical Microsoft version 3 fashion.
- Dynamics GP 11 is rumored to be renamed Dynamics GP 2010 which will be really confusing since the current version is version 10.
- There sure seems to be more quality Dynamics GP bloggers coming out now. With [Mariano Gomez](http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/), [Dwight Specht](https://thedeathofreason.wordpress.com/) and [Dave Musgrave](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/DevelopingForDynamicsGP/) all blogging regularly now, I don’t feel so lonely any more.

## The Most Advanced Accounting Software on the Planet

[Bill Kennedy of Energized Accounting](http://energizedaccounting.blogspot.com/2008/08/most-advanced-accounting-software-on.html) (I’ve said before that I love the name) has a nice broad post on comparing software vendors and their claims.

A couple of excerpts:

*Anyone who knows me will tell you that I’m a Microsoft fan. In my  
quarter century of accounting, I have spent a decade implementing  
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) and Dynamics NAV (Navision). But I still  
wouldn’t claim that it’s the most advanced accounting software on the  
planet. The issue is not how advanced it is, but how well it fits the  
client’s needs and budget*…

*Two packages may claim to have advanced inventory features,  
multi-currency, role based security etc. etc., but when you  
investigate, you find that they have addressed these features in very  
different ways. Furthermore, there are hidden assumptions included in  
the words.*

[Read the whole thing](http://energizedaccounting.blogspot.com/2008/08/most-advanced-accounting-software-on.html) for a great perspective on vendor claims, implementation pain and some help navigation the crud.

## Dynamics GP iPhone Apps, Apple Cool for Apple $

- Date: 2008-07-24
- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous

MyAccountsToGo for Dynamics GP (and SAP) holds the [distinction of being an accounting app cool enough for the iPhone](http://gizmodo.com/5028428/most-expensive-iphone-app-champion-myaccountstogo-costs-more-than-an-unsubsidized-iphone). MyAccountsToGo lets you connect to DynamicsGP (or some German accounting thing that’s short for “sucker”, but who cares about them) for access to Customer Master, Addresses, Statements, SOP Transactions and Item Master records.

I have to say that I like what little I’ve seen of the interface. Of course, it runs on Apple so everyone is focused on the roughly $450 price. Things like, “App is more than the whole phone” are being written. Let me tell you, it’s a lot cheaper than buying laptops for all your salespeople, that’s for sure. I’ve also heard that Apple may be getting a typical 30% payout on AppStore applications so that factors into the price as well.

There is a demo version if you want to play with with. I’m iPhoneless for good reasons so I don’t get to play, but if you try it, let me know how it works.

## How Much SAP Software Can a $100 million Buy?

- Date: 2008-04-02
- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

It’s been 3 months since I hightlighted competitor issues and 6 months since I picked on SAP so yesterday’s (non-April fools) story that [Waste Management is suing SAP in Texas](http://www.accountingweb.co.uk/topic/technology/sap-faces-100m-fraud-claim-waste-management-inc) for a $100 million was very timely. The crux of the suit seems to be the sales process. Waste Management claims SAP fraudulently claimed that their industry standard waste management solution didn’t require any customization but that the software they delivered was untested and buggy. I find it interesting that it’s a fraud claim.

If someone actually said that the software wouldn’t require any customization, they should shoot the saleperson. Every business is similar to every other business except in the ways that they are different. There is really no one size fits all solution at any level and certainly not given the size of Waste Management. The bottom line is, you don’t know until you get in there. Perhaps someone doesn’t “need” customization but a customization can provide significant operational benefits. That clouds the definition of need.

There are lessons here for the GP world as well. Perhaps not, $100 million lessons (I hope not!) but in an implementation, the consultant has a burden to try to understand the client’s business and provide the best solution possible. The client needs to own the ultimate outcome and be willing to make smart ROI decisions around what it’s “needs” really are.

My only beef is that some of the KB’s they sent to me don’t come up when I search for the topics in the Knowledge Base, I had to have the number. But that’s a topic I’ve covered before and I’ll save any rants for another time. The human side of support was fantastic!

- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/peoplesoft-sap-get-schooled/
- Date: 2007-10-07
- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

I don’t cover many stories like this intentionally. I mean, what’s the point? But in this case, well I couldn’t resist.

[Slashdot](https://news.slashdot.org/story/07/10/07/1638226/teachers-give-erp-implementations-failing-grades) is linking to couple of horror stories on teacher’s pay.

[Eweek is reporting](http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/HP-TouchPad-Needs-68-Weeks-for-Additional-Shipments-142584) that an SAP debacle has been screwing up teacher’s pay in Los Angeles since it’s rollout in January of 2007.

Meanwhile, back in the Midwest, the Chicago Sun-times is reporting that a Peoplesoft implementation has screwed up teacher pay in the Chicago area since April of 2007.

I’ve been involved in a couple of really ugly GP installations but nothing like these two. Frankly, when a project need resources, every reseller I’ve worked with poured them on. Sometimes it hurt our bonuses to help other folks on these projects but we all stepped up and did it because we knew that this could easily have been our nightmare.

Here’s the thing. ERP implementation horror stories go back a long time. They’ve been out of the news for a while though. It sure seemed like despite the pain, most folks had figured out how to get the job done. I know the GP implementations I keep hearing about are consistently smoother than they used to be.

Nobody’s perfect but I actually found the bigger implementations to be smoother because they had professional IT staff who had done this before. Internal ID did a great job of managing resources and expectations all around. They were painful but nobody lost their head.

So here’s the lesson for you GP folks out there:

[noise of me stepping on my soapbox]

- Find a good reseller.
- Interview your consultants before you give them the project ([See Podcast #2](http://dyngprocks.blogspot.com/2007/02/show-2-curtis-beebe-consultantu.html)).
- Don’t skimp on training. It’s not yet that easy and you’re not yet that smart.

[noise of me stepping off my soapbox]

With successes like this it’s no wonder SAP and Peoplesoft want to move into the middle market.

## Full Employment for Fargo

Carol Livingston of NCSI was kind enough to send me a Microsoft press release that MS is expanding its Fargo campus. This is a change from a few years ago when the rumor was that good employees were fleeing Fargo for Seattle.   
Having been to Fargo, I can definitively say that there is plenty of flat land for expansion.   
Ultimately they want to grow Fargo from about 1,300 people (employees, vendors, contractors, flunkies, interns, entourage, groupies and fanboys) to 3,800 people and this is one step in making room. Well, there’s already plenty of room, this just puts a roof over their heads.   
Ultimately this is good for us GP folks. GP has deep roots in Fargo and many of us have fond memories…er…hazy, alcohol filled memories of time spent in Fargo. Not to mention the really long walk to the lobby of the Holiday Inn when you find yourself locked out of your room in just your underwear. But that story belongs to someone else so we’ll leave it there.  
Here’s the press release. Oh yeah, phase one of the plan includes connecting all the buildings. That should save money on rescue dogs in the winter.

The new Finance Forums for the Microsoft Dynamics line are up and running in beta. There are definitely still some rough spots and it certainly seems geared toward Accounting and Finance types more than product adminsitrators.

The articles and expert columns look pretty good and I’ve asked for DynamicAccounting.net to be included in the blogs. RSS and subscription support is there but parts are still not real clean. (For example: Forums->Forum Subscriptions lets you check a box to subscribe, but it doesn’t say what you are subscribing too, RSS, email, etc. and nothing else seems to happen.)

Too many of the early posts are from folks advertising software. We love you guys, we know you need to make a living and we’re impressed with you’re ability to find new ways to reach us but if all new people see are ads, they won’t stay very long. So, if you want this to be a resource in the future, go post!

## Tune Up Tools

- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/tune-up-tools/
- Date: 2006-07-26
- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

Alan R. Earls has a nice article titled Tune Up Tools on CustomerSource, covering some under utilized features of Dynamics GP.

I have to take issue with one item though. In GP, you CAN setup data entry to use the Enter button to move between fields. DON’T. RESIST THE URGE!

Why?

1. It’s a Windows world, using Enter in GP only prolongs your inevitable move to the Tab key.
2. It trashes productivity. You can’t use Enter any more to save and move to the next record so you’ll end up using the mouse a lot more. Every productivity expert will tell you that the keyboard is faster than the mouse. Let’s face, if you want to use the Enter key to move between fields, you’re coming off of a mainframe or mini-computer system. This means you’re not using mouse in those systems at all. Using the mouse more in GP won’t make you more productive.
3. You get inconsistent behavior. Sometimes Enter works like a tab, sometimes it doesn’t. Simple example, open Cards-Sales-Customer. The Enter key will move you around the form and won’t activate anything until you get to Write Letters. If you use the arrow key to move down to a selection and press enter, suddenly you’re ready to write letters. Tab however, has no effect. This means that there will be times when you activate something with the Enter key that you didn’t mean to and you’ll always be wondering if Enter will do what you want.

I’m not beating up on Alan, he was just making sure people were aware of their options. But for me just because I CAN go home late at night, using the shortcut down the dark alley full of gang members, while openly counting my paycheck in cash, doesn’t mean I should.

## The American Idol of Dynamics GP

- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous

As a reminder, Microsoft Dynamics has a feature survey available until June 30th where you can vote for what features you want in upcoming versions of Dynamics GP. This is the American Idol of Dynamics GP, where you get to vote for the winners, and there’s no Simon, Paula or Randy to deal with. The survey is available at:

https://mbs.microsoft.com/customersource/pabs

It follows the format of previous surveys where you are given a number of points to assign to different features and the features are worth varying points. I can only assume, the higher the points, the harder the feature is to implement.

So go vote! If you don’t vote, you don’t get to whine when your feature isn’t included!

## I’m Quoted in eWeek

- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

When I was at Convergence in Dallas, I met with Mary Joe Foley of ZDNet and answered a few questions. Now a quote of mine appears on page 32 of the April 3 issue of eWeek. The article is [here](http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/HP-TouchPad-Needs-68-Weeks-for-Additional-Shipments-142584) but I have to say, it’s much cooler to see it in print than on the web. After all, anyone can put something on the web (insert ironic chuckle here).

The beauty of a blog is that I get to expand a little on my point. The quote is around the fact that Microsoft’s regular GP releases are good thing. Why? Prior to MS buying GP it was often unclear when the next release was coming out. Consequently, people upgraded to what turned out to be an interim release or they held off upgrading, only to quickly be three versions behind! A more regular and transparent release schedule allows companies to evaluate their situation and make reasonable decisions about how and when to upgrade. Coincidentally, in the same issue, [eWeek takes Apple to task](http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/HP-TouchPad-Needs-68-Weeks-for-Additional-Shipments-142584) for being too secretive and not providing enough information about upcoming releases for companies to consider Apple in their infrastructure plans. Thanks for the mention Mary Jo!

## If You Can’t Fire Them, Promote Them

- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

I may get in trouble for this post but here goes. I once gave my wife some advice. She owns her own business and her mother works with her. Her mother went through a period of high personal stress that affected her ability to concentrate and it was really hurting her work performance and the business. Since you really shouldn’t fire your mother, I suggested she promote her. It’s a great excuse to take away day to day tasks and free up time to resolve whatever other issues are going on. (You don’t need to be doing that bank balancing, that below your skills. We need you to work on the strategic direction for next year.)

Well, it looks like Microsoft Business Solutions may be doing the same thing with Doug Burgum. Doug is a great guy in person but parts of his communication style leave a lot to be desired. If you’ve ever heard him speak, you may still be wondering what the point is. He’s also a Steve Balmer buddy and for a long time, the face of Great Plains and now MBS. Via Mary Jo Foley, MBS is moving Doug into a Chairman role, responsible for evangelism and long term planning. They are looking for a new VP to head the MBS unit. It’s no secret that MBS has been struggling to hit the goals Microsoft has set for them, but dumping Doug would be expensive from a marketing and competative strategy position. It would let competitors pound FUD on MBS. So Doug moves into the grandfatherly chairman role and someone, hopefully with a fresh perspective, gets to take this to the next level.

This also continues the de-Fargoing of MBS. Burgum will continue to be based in Fargo but new role will be based in Redmond.

## MBS Scuttles Business Framework

- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

Via Mary Jo Foley and her Microsoft Watch site, Microsoft Business Solutions is scuttling their separate business framework designed to lay over the .Net framework.

In my mind, this is probably a good thing. We haven’t seen great success when the MBS folks stray too far from the mothership. If you remember Business Portal 1.0 before they moved to a Sharepoint framework, it was pretty bad. Yeah, it was a 1.0 product but it was also a technology silo.

Great Plains’ strength in particular is built around developers. 3rd party add ons are available for just about everything. It’s weakness is the underlying Dexterity chasis. Specialized developers can build great apps but the learning curve limits the raw number of developers willing to jump in. Also, you have to maintain and grow the language as well as the app.

From the story, most of the pieces will end up in other MS apps, the new workflow engine, LINQ, etc. The only sad part is the time and energy spent here that could have been used elsewhere, but hey, that’s business.

In case you missed the link up above, the full story is also here – http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,1995,1875024,00.asp?kc=MWRSS02129TX1K0000535.

## Weekly Gotcha – Batch Transactions

- Date: 2005-10-18
- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

In most of the batches in Great Plains, when you are working with a batch there is a big transaction button in the lower right. The logical conclusion most people come to is that this brings you to the first transation in the batch you have listed.

Nope. Wong. Nada. Nyet. Fooled you again.

I don’t know WHY they didn’t make it work this way, but they didn’t. The actual behavior is that is takes you to a new record, at the END of the batch you have listed. But, this can get you where your want to go. You can:

1) Click the Transaction button and work your way backward through a batch of transactions.

2) Select the batch right BEFORE the batch you want, click the Transaction button. Click the forward arrow and move forward through the batch. The batch will change you the next batch (the batch you want) and you are off and running.

All of this assumes your sort type at the bottom is set to Batch ID. Sometimes it just helps to know you’re not crazy and they didn’t design they way you would have.

Both of my websites, mpolino.com and DynamicAccounting.net are down. I took the server down to attach a UPS and in the process my cable modem reset. Now it won’t come back up. Brighthouse says they have a problem and are working on.

If I could get naked DSL I’d consider switching but Sprint isn’t much better than Brighthouse. Additionally the IP’s will probably reset so I expect to be down for a day or two while they work their way through the internet.  
I can post thanks to a Verizon air card.

## Open Source ERP

- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/open-source-erp/
- Date: 2005-09-15
- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous
- Type: original article

I’ve been thinking a little about open source ERP systems. [Compiere](http://www.compiere.com) seems to be leader. It’s free, but they nickel and dime you on documentation, support, etc.

The biggest problem with Compiere is that it uses an Oracle (or now Sybase) database. What’s that all about? It may be cheaper to buy SQL Serve and Great Plains than to buy Oracle and get Compiere for free. Not mention the pain of running Oracle in a small to medium shop.

I think there is room for an MS based open source ERP system. I think it would push the leaders. Great Plains is great because of it’s community, backend and solidness. However, GP is behind in “run anywhere” functionality and Dexterity feels creaky. M. ore likely, I expect to see an open source Linux/MySQL (or Postgre) offering.

Lets face it, ERP systems are complex. They cover a lot of ground and they can function very differently. Solomon, GP and Oracle all process payables, and they all do it differently. I wonder whether the benefits of an open source ERP will hurt comanies? Will a bootstrapping company install it and force it to work with dire consequence? Is the growth from a small business package, like Quickbooks, into a midsize package important?

I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

## Oracle buying Siebel

I have to comment on this. Oracle is buying Siebel. I used Oracle financials and played with Siebel in some training classes. What do you get when you merge two hard to use programs? …what do you think?

Siebel’s been a mess for a while. It’s more of a pain than SAP in my opinion, it’s just not as spectacular when an implementation fails. Microsoft Business Solutions finally abanonded a partnership with Siebel after severals years of trying and failing to integrate it with Great Plains. Good luck Oracle, you’re going to need it.

Cryptocurrency, blockchain, Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Shiba Inu, whatever, the whole cryptocurrency thing can be a mess to understand. Matt Levine at Bloomberg has the best guide I’ve found to explain it all. It’s straightforward, well laid out, and about as easy to understand as it gets. Sadly, it’s behind the Bloomberg paywall, but still highly recommended.

For those of you who don’t know, in addition to a pile of GP books, I’ve written a couple of novels. One of them, Woodbooger, is a bigfoot tale.

Writing in Adventure Journal recently, Laura Kranz explains why [Why We Need Bigfoot, Even if it isn’t Real.](http://www.adventure-journal.com/2019/04/why-we-need-bigfoot-even-if-it-isnt-real/) It’s a nice read and great exploration of the importance of bigfoot on our collective psyche.

1. *I need to do it.*
2. *Everybody does it.*
3. *If I don’t do it then somebody else will.*
4. *It’s legal.*
5. *When in Rome do as the Romans do.*
6. *They owe me.*
7. *I didn’t lie. I just didn’t tell the whole story or the truth.*
8. *They’ll never miss it.*
9. *I deserve it.*
10. *There are people who do a whole lot worse.*
11. *I’m fighting fire with fire.*
12. *I was just following orders.*

*Other contenders?*

> A pop song about Skype. A punk song about PowerPoint. A funky rap about Microsoft Bob. And so many more. Nothing gets the party started like a Microsoft jam.

You need to checkout *[Spotify’s songs about Microsoft (yes, Microsoft!) are awesome and must be listened to ASAP from PCWorld](http://www.pcworld.com/article/3007299/windows/spotify-songs-about-microsoft-are-awesome.html) Most of these are available on Apple Music as well. Sadly there don’t seem to be any songs dedicated to Microsoft Excel or Dynamics. (At least in the title, I checked both Apple Music and Spotify.) It’s hard to argue with a punk rock song about Microsoft Outlook though. If you search for Microsoft on any of the services you’ll find a lot more.*

[![fastpath_logo](/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/fastpath_logo.jpg)](http://www.gofastpath.com)

It’s time for a new challenge and a chance to broaden my horizons. At the beginning of November, I’m joining the [Fastpath](http://www.gofastpath.com) team as Director of Client Services. The change gives me the opportunity to work with a broader selection of ERP packages and sharpen my internal control skills, without completely leaving the GP community.

I’ve known and worked with the Fastpath team for a long time now. I bought Audit Trail as a controller in 2006 and we’ve had a great relationship since then. I’m looking forward to working with all of the great people I know there.

The team at [IBG](http://www.ibgnet.com) has been fantastic and I’ll miss working with them, but I’ve reached a point where I need to change and I’m really excited about the chance to work at Fastpath.

What does that mean for the blog, the books, and everything else? I have no idea. That’s part of the fun of seeing where everything will go!

Dwight Specht says [Goodbye to the Dynamics Channel](https://thedeathofreason.wordpress.com/2014/09/27/goodbye-to-the-dynamics-channel/) I’ve worked for Dwight twice now and found him to be uncommonly frank for an executive. If you’ve read his blog, he’s a lot like that in real life. Occasionally he tames things down for the blog. We had talked a few weeks back so this isn’t a surprise and he’s been worn down for a while.

I consider him and friend and will miss his insights into the channel. Still, we all have to chase our own path. Maybe he’ll call me up and swear at me occasionally for old times sake.

In the February 2014 issue of Journal of Accountancy, the article What gets monitored gets detected (p. 33) looks at continuous monitoring techniques to help prevent fraud. One of the examples looks at Dynamics GP and Business Alert functionality.

It was fun to see the Business Alert window in Exhibit 2. I still think that anything you do that is native in GP needs to be supplemented with [Fastpath’s Audit Trail and Assure](http://www.gofastpath.com), but it’s nice to see GP in JofA.

## Dynamic Future – Vote – Dependent Address Rolldown

This is a nice HR/Payroll suggestion, dependent addresses should roll down by defaul from the employee’s address. Yes this won’t always be the case but I’m willing to bet that it’s the case more than half the time so there really should be an option to handle this better than retyping the addresses.

Apparently I left off the link.

If you want that too, go vote.

For any Payroll Account Type you only have the options for Department, Position, and Code to map that to a specific posting account.

But I need other items from the Employee Maintenance window like Division, Location, and Class ID, even one of these would solve my problem but all three would be great. Additionally, for existing customers that do not need these extra columns the “All” entry in that column would work fine for them.

Now Energized Accounting has a great new post up on [What Keeps You Up at Night?

Richard Whaley is [Learning More](http://www.accoladepublications.com/richard-s-attic-a-blog.html?p=114) as he starts to write about GP 2013. I’m finding the same thing. I keep learning about things that are in the current product that I either didn’t know about or haven’t used much so I forgot that they were there.

I think the clear lesson is that if someone professes to know everything there is to know about Dynamics GP, don’t walk away, run.

**Bonus Depreciation**

The 100% first-year bonus depreciation provision expired on Dec. 31, but 50% bonus depreciation is available for property placed in service in 2012. (100% bonus depreciation does still apply in the case of certain longer-lived and transportation property placed in service before 2013.)

This only tangentially related to GP but Steve Endow looks [Travel Power Outlets](http://dynamicsgpland.blogspot.com/2011/11/consultant-tools-series-travel-power.html) as part of his Consultant Tools series.

I have my own favorite. It’s the old fashioned, 3 outlet, bright orange plastic adapter. No it doesn’t have fancy USB plugs, but short of pulling out a prong, it’s nearly indestructible. Plus, they are about $3 at any grocery store or hardware store in the U.S. so I don’t feel bad when I accidently leave one in a hotel or airport charging station.

The right angles make easy to plug in any kind of adapter, no matter how big. The design does hold things away from the wall which is only an issue when the plug is behind the bed. It’s also surprisingly compact in my bag.

## Dynamics GP Land: A Matter of Degrees? Activity Tracking and Dynamics GP

- Topics: Off-Topic & Miscellaneous

Christina Phillips digs into [Activity Tracking and Dynamics GP](http://dynamicsgpland.blogspot.com/2011/08/matter-of-degrees-activity-tracking-and.html). The problem is that most of the activities that people want to track aren’t covered in Activity Tracking. The most common questions I see are:

- Who changed/created this record/setting?
- Who posted that?
- Who is still active in the system?

Activity tracking really doesn’t address these. Audit Trail software can, but not after the fact. You have to set it up before you have an issue.

I still prefer [FastPath](http://www.gofastpath.com/)’s Audit Trail software to the native GP offering for speed, better reporting and greater flexibility.

There is a catch 22 here. Part of the value in a support plan is exclusive access to support articles. If they escape into the wild it diminishes the value but if users can’t find what they want behind the support wall, the value is diminished as well.

I told you that there was more to come. I’m releasing my newest Dynamics GP short story, [Wanda’s Wicked Workshop](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/p/best-practice-guides.html#wandasworkshop), just in time for Convergence. That way you’ll have something fun to read on the way.

Wanda, the mistress of Wanda’s Wicked Workshop is facing a visit from the health inspector. When the health inspector turns out to be a real ogre who is immune to her magic, she has to rely on Microsoft Dynamics GP and her Dynamics GP consultant to keep her shop open. [FastPath’s Config AD](http://www.gofastpath.com/) and [MetaViewer](http://www.metaviewer.com/) also make an appearance to help save the day.

Wanda’s Wicked Workshop is available as a [PDF or Kindle story](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/p/best-practice-guides.html#wandasworkshop). Don’t miss the other titles in the [Adventures in Accounting with Microsoft Dynamics GP](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/p/best-practice-guides.html#spacealien) series. If you’re not have fun while reading these, you’re doing something wrong.

My thoughts on development and almost everything in business are very simple: You have it Fast, Cheap and Quality, pick 2.

Those are really the three key constraints. If you’re not getting at least 2 you’re getting ripped off. If you’re getting all 3, the vendor is not making a profit and probably won’t last. It’s as simple as that.

I have a client going through something similar. They have been using GP successfully for the last 10 years but after multiple upgrades, they’ve stepped back and taken a hard look at features that they haven’t been using. They want to get the most out of GP and are using the upgrade to GP 2010 as a springboard to evaluate everything.

Maybe you should too?

Four new GP 2010 exams were released mid August and we’re all racing to have them done before 10/1 when new certification requirements for partners goes into effect. Steve followed Christina’s advice and tried taking the actual exam quickly. My exams tend to work the same way. If I’m really prepared, they take about a 1/2 hour or so. I’ve four scheduled over the next two weeks to squeeze in around work, travel and presentations so I feel Steve’s pain.

Executive blogger Dwight Specht is back looking at [how to measure Client Satisfaction](https://thedeathofreason.wordpress.com/2010/05/11/objective-measures-client-satisfaction/ "how to measure Client Satisfaction ")  in a Dynamics practice. (I’m still not sure why we practice this, at some point we should do Dynamics for real).

If your clients hug you when you walk into their offices or have a large tub of Diet Mt. Dew on ice for you, it’s pretty easy to determine their level of client satisfaction. If that doesn’t happen, you have to figure it out. Dwight’s post tells you how to figure it out.

## Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Communities

The Microsoft Newsgroups are going away to be replaced by web based forums. This change has been in the works for several years. I’m sure that plenty of people will get all worked up about. I won’t. My preference is to follow newsgroups and forums via RSS and that’s hard to do for newsgroups. It’s only because of Google that it’s possible.

Frankly, I’ll be happy to have fewer, more concentrated places to provide support to GP users. The fragmentation meant that folks often posted in more than one place making it tough to really provide complete answers.

If you want more information on the change, check out [Developing for Dynamics GP : Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Communities](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/developingfordynamicsgp/2010/05/10/microsoft-responds-to-the-evolution-of-communities/).

One of the biggest changes for version 10 was the adoption of independent windows. Windows now operated outside the main background window. This caused some consternation among GP users and a yes a few users got really wound up about. Ultimately, I think it was a change for the better. Now David Musgrave gives us an explanation of why the change was made to  [Version 10.0 and its individual windows](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/developingfordynamicsgp/2009/08/18/version-10-0-and-its-individual-windows/).

I AM in need of vacation but other than that I’m going to assume that I’m not in the Prima Dona consultant role since Dwight is perfectly capable of telling me to stop whining in person. He doesn’t need a blog post to do that.

For the record, Dwight’s post is absolutely worth reading and I prefer the term “Consulting Diva”. I also like my Diet Mt. Dew at precisely 38 degrees and favor the foam pillows at the Hampton Inn. (If you’re not smiling now, you really need to lighten up.)

I’ve seen issue this mostly with importing and exporting data. We had one import that added a carriage return to the end of a ton of master records. The data looked correct on the screen but would be blank on reports. That was fun to find and fix.

[Twitter](https://mobile.twitter.com/mpolino) is a social networking/micro-blogging site that is incredibly hot right now. There are lots of accountants and plenty Dynamics GP people posting links and thoughts on Twitter. Since the content is limited to 140 characters most of the meat for GP users is found by following the links. But there is a lot of great stuff out there.

I’ve been twittering (tweeting? I’m still not sure) for more than a year under [mpolino](https://mobile.twitter.com/mpolino). I’ve recently started adding Dynamics GP content as well as personal content. All of my GP content will be marked with a tag that looks like this #DynGP. This makes it easy to search and find Dynamics GP content. I’m working to try to make this a consistent tag among Twitterers to make it easy to find GP related content across Twitter.

Twitter won’t replace blogging, but it is a nice, fast supplement to it.

- Due to a slowdown, companies have more people available to be involved in an implementation
- Even in a downturn, there are winners and those folks are investing in ERP

If you’ve been thinking about integrating Active Directory sign on for Dynamics GP using FastPath’s Configurator AD, now is the time. FastPath is offering their Configurator SSO single sign on product for Dynamics GP free when you buy Configurator AD.

Starting the new year with Active Directory integration and Single Sign On for Dynamics GP is pretty sweet and two apps for the price of one is good for the budget too! This offer is only good through January 15 so get your staff simpler sign ons for Christmas.

Talk to the nice folks at [FastPath](http://www.gofastpath.com/) for more info. When you do tell Andy I said hi but try not to laugh too hard at his Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He’s sensitive about it.

The interview is with Chris Caren, general manager of product management and marketing for Dynamics GP and ERP. We run into folks in organizations who prefer SAP, until they see the price tag. I’ve seen a number of clients in the 500 million to 1 billion annual revenue range and when they run the ROI numbers (not us), Dynamics GP beats SAP every time. Even a heavily customized version of GP wins.

Dynamics GP Land takes a look at [what makes excellent GP training](http://dynamicsgpland.blogspot.com/2008/10/what-makes-excellent-training.html). I would add:

1) Even a modest sense of humor helps.  
2) Shorter, more focused training sessions. In an always on world of crackberrys, iPhones and communication everywhere, if sessions are too long either connectivity or sleep will steal steal people’s focus. I realize that this is not always efficient but neither is a room full of sleepy, distracted people.

Make sure you [read the whole thing](http://dynamicsgpland.blogspot.com/2008/10/what-makes-excellent-training.html) to see the pieces I agreed with.

[Energized Accounting has a links](http://energizedaccounting.blogspot.com/2008/09/software-implementation-101.html) to a couple of great articles on Software Implementation and the info is very applicable to Dynamics GP. Here’s a taste:

*Documenting and automating every minute step of every process in a  
business cannot be put on a fixed, linear implementation schedule.  
Unforeseen problems will arise, requiring changes to those business  
processes and/or the software itself. Sometimes these changes can  
impact the timeline by weeks or months.*

Make you take a look at this. We all need to be reminded of the basics once in a while.

This was always an odd product for me and with the release of the really low end Office Accounting I’m surprised it wasn’t killed earlier. If you’re on Small Business Financials you can move up to GP and then you get the benefit of this blog for free!

In it I take a look at core financial features in GP that you should be using as the economy tightens. Folks get sloppy in good times, tough times are where you earn you pay and GP can help. None of these features have any additional cost, they just require a little attention from you.

I know, the headline is a mouthful. I write the articles not the headlines. Also, this is the end of my downer stuff. I’m going to move off of downturns and tough times and on to some happy, happy, joy, joy stuff. Like XBRL.

If you got dropped into the DBA role as part of a GP implementation this is a show for you. Kim and Paul are about as smart as you can get when it comes to SQL Server and the hosts, Richard Campbell and Greg Hughes are no slouches either.

If nothing else, you can’t say that we didn’t work to ease your commute this week.

I want you to get the most out of your accounting system. Period. I would love it if that system were Microsoft Dynamics GP but some of the Excel, SQL, FRx and BI stuff I do here translates across many systems.

In that spirit I point people to places like the [Accounting Best Practices podcast](http://www.accountingtools.com/podcasts) where you can take those best practices and apply them to Dynamics GP or whatever inferior product you’re using.

Today I want to point you to [Energized Accounting,](http://www.energizedaccounting.blogspot.com/) where Bill Kennedy is working to help you get the most out of your accounting system. I’m a sucker for process improvement and this site is terrific.

Ok, that’s enough gushing, I’ve got an integration to write.

I don’t have any experience with the product but my rule of thumb is less tax is better. If you have to be taxed, more choices for processing tax is better.

It’s April 12, 2007, Fabrikam Day! As [Brian Connell pointed out on the GP Newsgroup](http://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.greatplains/_vqJZylrLA8), today is the day that the Fabrikam demo company for GP defaults to. You still get the annoying message buy for today only, the date is correct!

All of the existing Dynamic Sherpa videos are now on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=related&search_query=Microsoft%20Dynamics%20GP%20Great%20Plains). I’ll make sure new ones get on there too. The easiest way to find them is to search for “Dynamics GP”. Right now, they pop up at the top of the list. Of course, you can always get to them from DynamicAccounting.net or DynamicSherpa.com, but with YouTube distribution, you can look cool to your kids and improve your GP knowledge at the same time! (Of course this may frighten your kids away from [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=related&search_query=Microsoft%20Dynamics%20GP%20Great%20Plains) but that’s not all bad, right?)

This is a nice move for MS and it reinforces their commitment to BI for the Dynamics products.

## New Dynamics Logo

If you take a look at Microsoft’s new Dynamics site ([www.microsoft.com/dynamics/](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/default.aspx)), there is a new logo for the brand. It looks like 3 sails. So Great Plains has moved from from the little prarie logo, to the offsetting color spinning thing to 3 sails. I have to say, I like the new look overall. It’s sort of a clean differentiation. Microsoft but not.

Update: I’ve also noticed that from the website, Microsoft Dynamics is FORMERLY Microsoft Business Solutions. So MBS is truly dead. This is something I speculted about with the branding at the SQL 2005 launch event. This will at least reduce the mouthfull that was MBS.

I’m thinking of doing some server work on the box that hosts [www.dynamicaccounting.net](/) this weekend. Access to the site may be iffy during the weekend and then of course we expect Wilma to visit just south of us on Monday.

## Why are there so few Great Plains books?

Why are there so few GP books out there? An Amazon search turned up only a few old (pre-MS acquisition) or books not yet published. Many of the available offerings are weak too, spiral bound or college texts. Where is MS Press? Why no Great Plains for Dummies? How about a Great Plains Administrator’s guide?

I really don’t want to have to write one myself. That’s too much like work!

Search Amazon for ***“Great Plains” Accounting*** and see for yourself.
