## Weekly Dynamic: Trigger to Show Workflow 2.0 Final Approver on PO
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-trigger-to-show-workflow-2-0-final-approver-on-po/
- Date: 2015-09-22
- Topics: Sales, Purchasing & Inventory, Install, Upgrade & Admin, SQL & Data
- Type: original article
I needed to show the final approver from GP Workflow 2.0 on a PO. You know, an Approved By box with a name or user ID below. This company was using PO approval, NOT requisition approval. Microsoft support said the tables couldn’t be joined in a way to make it work.
Ok, Plan B. I know that David Musgrave has shown how to execute SQL using VBA in Report Writer. David and I went back and forth with this a little, but it looked like more work than what should be required for the request so I set it aside.
Plan C. I came back to this with a different approach. I wrote an update trigger on the WF30100 workflow table. When this table is updated with a final approval (workflow action 10) the ‘Confirm With’ field in POP10100 is filled with the approver’s ID. Confirm With is located under the expansion button next to the Vendor ID. This field is easily added to both regular and Word Templates PO’s
It’s only an insert trigger since a new record is inserted for each change in workflow. Also, the domain is truncated from the user approval, so instead of Approved By showing ibg\mpolino it just shows mpolino.
This seems to work as designed in limited testing. It returns the last, final approver. If a PO is final approved and then recalled or changed it goes through the approval process again. This will show the most recent final approver. Since a PO can’t be printed or emailed if it it’s in an unapproved state, this should work just fine. The SQL to create the trigger is below.
Keep in mind, this is for PO’s that go through approval, not requisitions. This would need to be modified if requisition approval needed to be shown on the PO.
Create Trigger
[dbo].[Update\_PO\_With\_Approver]
on [dbo].[WF30100]
for Insert as
Update POP10100
Set Confirm1=(Select substring(workflow\_History\_User,charindex(‘\’,Workflow\_History\_User)+1,20) as FinalApprover
FROM WF30100 INNER JOIN
WFI10002 ON WF30100.WorkflowInstanceID = WFI10002.WorkflowInstanceID RIGHT OUTER JOIN
POP10100 ON WFI10002.WfBusObjKey = POP10100.PONUMBER
Where workflow\_action=10 and
wf30100.Workflow\_Completion\_Date in(Selectmax(Workflow\_Completion\_Date)from WF30100
Where workflow\_action=10 ))

## Weekly Dynamic: Reporting Central’s The Closer bailed me out
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-reporting-centrals-the-closer-bailed-me-out/
- Date: 2015-06-29

- Type: original article
A couple of weeks ago I had a client call up and say that their AP sub ledger didn’t match the GL. These guys are always in balance. We had done some AP cleanup together earlier in the month and to make matters worse, they do a ton of credit card transactions that run through this account in GP.
Here is an example:
- You enter an AP voucher to Vendor A. GP creates a sub ledger liability and the GL shows a credit to AP with the Orig Master Name as Vendor A.
- You pay that voucher with a Visa in GP. GP moves the sub ledger liability from Vendor A to vendor Visa but no GL transaction is created.
- Next you pay Visa (and a bunch of other vouchers tied to Visa). The sub ledger is cleared and the GL shows a debit to AP but now the Orig Master Name is Visa.
This works and there is nothing incorrect about it, but there is no connection in the GL between the voucher and the ultimate payment. This makes reconciling these kinds of transactions a nightmare. Especially when there are thousands of them.
Back to my story. This company was always in balance and suddenly they were not. I looked and looked and looked and found…nothing. The cleanup we had done seemed to have worked fine. I worked on this on and off for 2 weeks and I was lost, so I applied [The Closer from Reporting Central](http://reporting-central.com/closer-free-trial/).
Angels sang a large spotlight shown down from heaven pointing to the problem…or not. The Closer didn’t popup a big arrow saying fix this, but it did clarify some things I was seeing. It’s much easier to read than the GP tool or building SQL queries and it convinced me that we didn’t have a normal reconciliation problem. So I dug deeper into the tables, but now with some direction.
Ultimately I found a posted transaction that didn’t properly clear. It existed in both the AP history tables and in some, but not all, AP open tables. Once I confirmed that everything was in history, I removed the transactions remnants from the open tables and we were back in balance…to the penny.
Part of the lesson here is that there are reconciling problems…date issues, wrong accounts, direct GL entries, etc. and there are reconciling problems. For me, The Closer eliminated that first set of reconciliation issues, the typical ones, and led me to focus on something more out of the ordinary.

## Weekly Dynamic: Create a Super User
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-create-super-user/
- Date: 2014-04-28
- Topics: Install, Upgrade & Admin, SQL & Data, Tips & Hidden Features
- Type: original article
Fastpath has written about [minimizing the ‘sa’ user in the past](http://www.gofastpath.com/blog/fastpath-white-paper-minimizing-the-use-of-sa-in-microsoft-dynamics-gp) This led to more people using Power User. They’ve also done a good job of highlighting that Power User really isn’t a role, it’s an override. If a user is a Power User the system effectively skips the security check. This also means that Power User doesn’t appear as a user with access to specific items when you run security reports. That can be a problem for the auditors. Also, you can’t limit what a Power User can do.
One option is to create your own Super User, and while it’s not hard, there are a few quirks.
1) Clear the SY09400 table. [Victoria Yudin has specifics.](https://victoriayudin.com/2009/03/20/sql-view-with-security-resource-details-for-dynamics-gp-10/)
This repopulates the table with the current security resources. There is additional code that runs if the newest version of the Support Debugging Tool is installed to add items beyond just forms and reports.
2) Run the SQL Script below. This adds a Super User role and assigns security to all of the items, even if the description hasn’t been added to the SY09400 table. I still can’t swear that this catches everything, but it should and it worked in testing. Worst case, it’s a whole lot easier to start with this than to check everything manually. You’ll still need to assign users to this role, but now it’s a real role, You can report off of this role and remove specific access as necessary.
–Create SUPERUSER Task
Insert into SY09000 (SECURITYTASKID,SECURITYTASKNAME,SECURITYTASKDESC,SECURITYTASKCATEGORY,DEFSECTASK,CRUSRID,CREATDDT,MDFUSRID,MODIFDT)
Values (‘SUPERUSER’,’SUPERUSER’,’Super User task to replace Power User role’,7,0,’sa’, cast(getdate() as date), ”, ‘1/1/1900’)
–Assign all security items to SUPERUSER task
Insert Into SY10700 (SECURITYTASKID,DICTID,SECURITYID,SECRESTYPE)
Select distinct ‘SUPERUSER’,a.DICTID,a.SECURITYID,a.SECRESTYPE from
(select distinct DICTID,SECURITYID,SECRESTYPE from SY10700
union

–Create SUPERUSER Role
Insert into SY09100 (SECURITYROLEID,SECURITYROLENAME,SECURITYROLEDESC,SECROLETYPE,CRUSRID,CREATDDT,MDFUSRID, MODIFDT)
Values (‘SUPERUSER’,’SUPERUSER’,’Super User Role to replace Power User role’,2,’sa’,cast(getdate() as date), ”, ‘1/1/1900’)

## Dynamic Dashboards: Pivot Tables, Power Pivot and 1 million rows
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/dynamic-dashboards-pivot-tables-power-pivot-1-million-rows/
- Date: 2014-03-25
- Topics: Excel & Office, Reporting & BI, SQL & Data
- Type: original article
Between my [Dashboard book](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1849689067/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1849689067&linkCode=as2&tag=polinofamilywebs) for Dynamics GP and my [Analytics product](/Analytics/) I think it’s time to add some regular Excel and dashboard stuff to the blog. So I’m starting a Dynamic Dashboards segment.
Let’s start by talking about size. Excel’s limit is a million rows right? Yes. Excel slows down when building Pivot Tables off of a couple of million rows right? Generally, yes. If you want to use more than either of these limits you must use Power Pivot right? Uh, no. That doesn’t mean you can’t or you shouldn’t, but you don’t have to.
First, you don’t have to bring data into Microsoft Excel to create a pivot table. If it’s not in a worksheet, neither the 1mm row limit nor the ~200k performance threshold apply. If you connect to a data source, like SQL Server, you can choose to create a pivot table report or pivot chart directly, without bringing the data into Microsoft Excel. This is also without adding data to the Data Model, since adding to the Data Model is the same adding to Power Pivot.
What kind of performance you get depends on your machine, but I’ve refreshed an Excel dataset with 3 million rows in about 30 seconds. That’s acceptable for most people. Pivot Tables and charts had a slight lag, but not enough to cause a problem. This also means that you can use Pivot Table groups and formulas.
As with Power Pivot, the important factor is the number of columns. Narrow the data by bringing in the fewest number of columns possible for the analysis. Number of columns is more important than number of rows.
Does Power Pivot offer some distinct advantages over regular pivot tables? Yes. Does DAX crush old style pivot table formulas? Yes. Is Power Pivot always the answer? Given Microsoft’s odd licensing, I have no, not always. You can still do some crazy stuff in Excel without Power Pivot.

## MSConnect Doc Attach Functionality

- Date: 2014-02-04
- Topics: SQL & Data
- Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2013
- Type: original article
John Lowther thinks that Doc Attach functionality should add the option to work like this:
### Description
At present: Document attachment will store the initial scans in a file location and then upon attaching to the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 record, the image will store the attachment in a new SQL table specific to Document Attach. Attachments are stored by company.
This should be modified to give the customer the following option:
Document attachment will store the initial scans in a file location and then upon attaching to the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 record, the image will store the attachment in a different file location and only store pointers in a SQL table to that specific Document Attach. Attachments can still be stored by company.

Note: This works in regular Excel, not in Power Pivot and it works with calendar, not fiscal dates.
Let say that you’ve got refreshable Excel reports working in GP, but your data is by day. That can be challenging to deal with in a pivot table…or not. One option if you are using calendar months is to use groups in the pivot table.
Try this:
1) Get your data in Excel.
2) Build your Pivot Table.
3) Right click on a date field and hit group. Something like this:
[](/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Capture.png)
4) Pick Months and click OK
[](/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Capture2.png)
5) Your Pivot Table has now been grouped into months.
[](/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Capture3.png)
That’s much better.

If you’ve ever wondered what Big Data is, SQL Server Central has a nice primer entitled [Big Data for SQL folks: The Technologies (Part I)](http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Big+Data/95647/)
No, your GP data probably isn’t Big Data. Even if you have a lot of it, it’s already structured (whether you like the structure or not). So how could this be useful? Here’s an example:
We have a client for whom restaurant cleanliness is a big part of their business. With the beta of its new GeoFlow tool for Excel, Microsoft is showing off using publicly available databases on restaurant cleanliness for Seattle, including the types and frequency of violations. This is one city and it’s huge.
Project that across the country with each municipality having variations in types of reporting and storage and you definitely have big data. Now imagine taking that data on restaurant cleanliness and mashing it up against client data and sales data. You know which of your clients to go sell more to and you have a list of businesses with specific problems that you can help solve.
Big data is still in its infancy but you’re going to see more and more of this.

## Weekly Dynamic: Drill Down Troubleshooting

- Date: 2013-02-25
- Topics: Install, Upgrade & Admin, Tips & Hidden Features, SQL & Data
- Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2010
- Type: original article
We had a scenario where someone was testing GP drill downs on a test server. The database had been copied from production but Excel reports had not been deployed in production. They were in the test environment. The user kept getting a drill down error that indicated that they weren’t logged in to the right company.
When we double checked the drill down links, the links were trying to connect back to the production server, even though the Excel reports were properly getting data from test. That was new and thanks to some help from Microsoft we have a fix.
Fortunately, it’s a pretty straightforward fix:
1. Log everyone out of GP.
2. Access the Database Maintenance Utility with Start > All Programs > Microsoft Dynamics > GP2010 > Database Maintenance
3. In the Database Maintenance Utility, select the SQL server name for the test environment.
4. Choose the company DB to recreate Views and Procedures for and click Next.
5. for the Product, choose all modules.
6. Select both “Functions and Stored Procedures” and “Views”.
7. Hit Next on the confirmation window.
The reason that this occurs is when the stored procedures are created on installation, the drill down link is populated with the server name. Recreating the Stored Procs and Views fixes this issue.

There are a few cases where it makes sense to clear data from tables in Dynamics GP. The classic case is when testing something like loading Fixed Assets into a test company. You may need to load, adjust, clear data and reload several times.
When you open Dynamics GP > Maintenance > Clear Data you get a list of logical tables to clear. Logical tables can actually include more than one table. To clear just a specific table, click Display and select Physical. This provides a list of physical tables that you can select to clear.

In our Worst Mistakes You Make With Dynamics GP presentation for [GPUG](https://www.gpug.com/) John Lowther and I harped on backups. Two articles out today show why.
[Jack Boyer describes recent backup lapses with Dynamics SL and GP](http://www.boyerassoc.com/dynamics-erp-and-sql-server-maintenance/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A%20BoyersErpBlog%20%28Boyer%27s%20ERP%20Blog%29&utm_content=Google%20Reader)
Doug Pitcher offers a cloud based example on the importance of backups
I do want to point out one thing. “The Cloud” generically is not a panacea for backups.
For example, NetSuite is a cloud based competitor. Despite what folks say in their marketing, companies don’t really lie to the SEC.
From [NetSuite’s March 2010 10K filing:](http://www.getfilings.com/sec-filings/100315/NETSUITE-INC_10-K/)
“We currently operate and maintain an offsite facility for customers who specifically pay for accelerated disaster recovery services. For customers who do not pay for such services, although we maintain tape backups of their data, we do not operate or maintain a separate disaster recovery facility, which may increase delays in the restoration of our service for those customers.”
Tape backups are notoriously unreliable and the accounting literature is full of accountants responsibility for managing risk. Performing backups may be IT’s responsibility but the financial statements belong to us. Ensuring that the data is available is part of our job as well.

## IRS audits of small business software files

- Date: 2012-01-10
- Topics: Fraud, Audit & Controls, SQL & Data, Microsoft & the GP Ecosystem
- Type: original article
I’ve wanted to comment on this story [IRS audits of small business software files](http://www.journalofaccountancy.com/Issues/2012/Jan/20114540.htm) for a while. I’ve seen similar stories over the last several months.
In a nutshell the IRS can ask for electronic records of your transactions meaning your database. In the case of Quickbooks and Peachtree users they are asking for a full backup copy of the company’s database and then using tools to evaluate transactions that might be inappropriate. For example, in Quickbooks you can delete transactions and that could be used to ask broader questions.
If you need a reason to switch from Quickbooks this is a big one in my mind. With Dynamics GP, especially with customizations and ISV solutions it makes it really hard to replicate a companies installation from just a backup. There are also practical problems with the IRS asking for a massive GP.database. It’s also easier to separate out the information the IRS asks for without giving them the whole database to troll through. Then there are tools from companies like [FastPath](http://www.gofastpath.com/) that can provide a complete audit trail for transactions in GP.
If you’re looking to move up from Quickbooks, now may be the time.

## Weekly Review: Schedule Backups from Within Dynamics GP
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-review-schedule-backups-from-within-dynamics-gp/
- Date: 2011-10-20
- Topics: SQL & Data, Tips & Hidden Features
- Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 9
- Type: original article
Dynamics GP 9 and up allows you to schedule backups from within the application. You’ll need to be logged in to GP as an administrator and you’ll need to be on the server. Go to File-Backup. Enter the system password if you’ve set one. The backup window opens, pick Schedule.
1. Name the backup schedule
2. Pick the database to backup or backup the system databases
3. Enter the backup path (this must be a path on the local server)
4. Select the days to backup and the time. The time is entered is in a 24 hour format
5. Pick how often to delete old backups
6. Click Save. –SQL Agent MUST be running when you click save–
This process creates a job in the SQL agent with the information entered. You can modify the job through the GP interface or via SQL to set more advanced options (like notifications). No, I don’t expect DBA’s to be using this, they’ll create their own SQL Jobs, but if you don’t have a dedicated DBA, this is a good start. You’ll still need to move the backups off the server for real protection but that’s easier with today’s portable hard drives. There’s no excuse for not backing up your Dynamics GP installation now.

##### Doing data validation, database compares and other queries in SQL Server is a pretty common occurrence when working with Dynamics GP, especially during implementation. Often this involves running a SQL query in Management Studio and pasting the results into a spreadsheet or document. Many people don’t know that a feature in Management Studio is the ability to copy the headings as well as the results with copy and paste.
##### This is not just a new feature in SQL 2008 but it works in SQL 2005, the feature is just not on by default. To turn it on, select Tools-Options in SQL Server Management Studio. Expand Query Results with the +. Expand SQL Server. Select Results to Grid and check the box “Include Column headers when copying or saving the results.” Click Ok.
#####
##### I felt dumb when I found this the first time but I feel brilliant every time I show it to someone else!

## Weekly Dynamic: Transaction Aborted…in table ‘dbo.deleted’

We complain a lot when an error message does a poor job of leading us to the answer. I thought that I would highlight a case where the error message was right on. We had a client get the error message:
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Transaction aborted when accessing versioned row in table ‘dbo.deleted’ in database XXX. Requested versioned row was now found. Your tempdb is probably out of space. Please refer to BOL on how to configure temp.
Sure enough, tempdb had run out of space. For the acronym challenged, BOL is “Books on Line” the help manual for SQL Server. Restarting the service cleared out tempdb and allowed processing to continue.
Interestingly, we got this error in a number of different places, some folks got it when logging in, others got it while working with GL transactions. When I went to review the issue, I got two messages:
GPS Error: 85 and SQL Server Error 1101.
The GPS Error 85 can be cause by a number of things but looking up the SQL Server Error 1101 kept bringing me back to tempdb being out of space. GP was trying to tell us something, we just had to listen.

## Weekly Dynamic: Asset ID’s Beginning With “Z” Don’t Appear on Some Reports

- Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2010, GP 10
- Type: original article
We found a bug the other day that I swear I’ve seen reported somewhere but I can’t find it so I’m noting here for everyone. I have reported this to MS via PartnerSource and [MS Connect](http://connect.microsoft.com/directory/?keywords=dynamics).
For Dynamics GP 10 SP 5 and GP 2010 SP 1 at least, if the Fixed Asset ID begins with the letter “Z” the asset will not appear on at least some reports. I haven’t test this with R2 yet. To duplicate in Fabrikam, create a new fixed assets starting with the letter Z like Z1234 and assign it to structure 100. Create a second asset starting with the letter Y like Y1234 and assign it to structure 100.
Run the Inventory by Structure ID report using structure 100 as the only limiting criteria. Item Y1234 will appear on the report, item Z1234 will not.
Microsoft has indicated that this is a known bug reported in KB 863264 but the KB seems to be unavailable. No wonder I couldn’t find it. MS is working to update the KB to ensure that it’s available. There are no plans to fix this issue. If you want it fixed, vote for it on [MS Connect](http://connect.microsoft.com/directory/?keywords=dynamics).
You’ve two options to deal with this:
1) Add a Fixed Asset ID end range of “ZZZZZZZZ” to reports
2) Change the Fixed Asset ID via SQL. Fortunately, FA uses asset indexes, not the ID to link assets in various tables so the change only needs to happen in one table. However, some ISV solutions use the Fixed Asset ID (like Multi-Entity Management from Binary Stream) so you’ll need to check those too.

## Weekly Review: Restarting Project Accounting

Project Accounting setup can be tough to get right the first time in Dynamics GP. Sometimes a company simply wants to dump their existing Project Accounting implementation and start over without ripping out the rest of their GP implementation. Maybe they only implemented PA for internal projects and now that setup won’t properly support external projects.
There are lots of considerations to take into account before doing this. It is not something to be done lightly. Make sure you understand the implications of this. Those implications are beyond the scope of this post. Make sure that you consult with your partner before doing this. This can also be useful if you are testing PA in a test company and want to start over completely. If you’ve done your homework and you are ready to restart Project Accounting, here is how you do it. In SQL Server Management Studio:
1. Delete DYNAMICS..DB\_Upgrade where PRODID = 258 and db\_name = ‘Company ID ‘
*Use the company database ID for your company.*
2. Delete DYNAMICS..DU000020 where PRODID = 258 and companyID = x
*where “x” = the companyID from DYNAMICS..SY01500*
3. DROP TABLE PA10702
*run against the company database*
Yes, it really is that simple. After you log in the next time, you’ll get a message that Project Accounting is not setup and PA looks just like it does after a fresh install. Sometimes a fresh start is easier than you think.
[H.T. to Ross Carlson of I.B.I.S. for figuring this out while we were working on resetting a PA test company]

## Weekly Dynamic: GL/MDA SQL
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-glmda-sql/
- Date: 2011-01-03
- Topics: General Ledger & Financials, SQL & Data, Tips & Hidden Features
- Type: original article
This week’s Weekly Dynamic comes from Jeremy Lowell of [DataRealized.com](http://www.datarealized.com/).
This SQL code is designed to join Multi-Dimensional Analysis (MDA) tables back to the GL. It’s a little complicated but it seems to work fine.
select distinct dta10100.GROUPID,
dta10200.CODEID,dta10200.POSTDESC,
gl20000.\* from GL20000
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.DTA10100 ON dbo.DTA10100.JRNENTRY = dbo.GL20000.JRNENTRY AND dbo.DTA10100.ACTINDX = dbo.GL20000.ACTINDX AND DTA10100.SEQNUMBR = GL20000.SEQNUMBR AND GL20000.ORCTRNUM = DTA10100.DOCNUMBR LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.DTA10200 ON dbo.DTA10200.DTAREF = dbo.DTA10100.DTAREF and GL20000.SEQNUMBR = GL20000.OrigSeqNum
UNION
select dta10100.GROUPID,dta10200.CODEID,dta10200.POSTDESC,
gl20000.\* from GL20000 LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.DTA10100 ON dbo.DTA10100.JRNENTRY = dbo.GL20000.JRNENTRY AND dbo.DTA10100.ACTINDX = dbo.GL20000.ACTINDX AND DTA10100.SEQNUMBR = GL20000.OrigSeqNum AND GL20000.ORCTRNUM = DTA10100.DOCNUMBR LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.DTA10200 ON dbo.DTA10200.DTAREF = dbo.DTA10100.DTAREF and GL20000.SEQNUMBR <> GL20000.OrigSeqNum
Jeremy has an update to this that I’ve promoted from the comments:
In looking at the data in the GL20000 tables and the DTA10100 table, the SDK calls for joining the following columns in order to obtain the MDA data for the GL transaction: JRNENTRY, ACTINDX, SEQNUMBR.
In my experience, I had a terribly Cartesian product when I made that join. While I haven’t yet tracked down why that’s the case, I ended up doing the following:
I took all of the data out of each of the GP companies ~ 50 and persist them into tables in my staging database. For MDA data, I have one table for the DTA10100 and DTA10200 data and another table for the GL20000 and 30000 data.
Once I have that data, I update a column that I created (dexrowid\_GL) via 8 different steps… Basically creating a “validity” of each join. That logic is below.
-8 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate, SequenceNumber, DocNumber and amount(dollars).
-7 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate, DocNumber and amount(dollars).
-6 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate, SequenceNumber and DocNumber
-5 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate and DocNumber
-4 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate, SequenceNumbrer, amount(dollars) and the SequenceNumber MUST NOT equal the OriginatingSequenceNumber.
-3 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate, amount(dollars) and the SequenceNumber MUST NOT equal the OriginatingSequenceNumber
-2 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate and amount(dollars).
42 — There is not enough data to join the MDA transaction to the GL transaction.
Thus far, I have less than one percent of records that will not join with the logic mentioned above. I’m still working on ironing out why I have to jump through all of these hoops and I’m quite certain that it’s a 3rd party application but I have yet to prove that out.
Good luck in accurately joining your MDA transactions to your GL transactions…. what should be fairly straight forward per the SDK has proven to be anything but for the dataset that I’m working against

This week’s Weekly Review originally came came from Dwight Specht who is not only brilliant but by his own account, sexy. Oh, and he also writes part of my annual review.
For users of Dynamics GP 8.0 or 9.0 with slow Smartlists there is a “Match Case” check box which can be enabled on the Search window. This box is available for all alphanumeric fields. Checking this box causes the Smartlist query engine to develop a more efficient query that reduces index and table scans. Index scans and table scans can significanly reduce SQL query performance.
To make the “Match Case” field available for selection, add SmartListMatchCasePrefs=TRUE to the Dex.ini file on each client.
More info is available on KB922870 and this only works for Dynamics GP versions 8.0 SP4a(or higher and version 9.0 SP1(or higher). The KB indicates that this is not an issue for GP 10 and higher but you can still turn on Match Case with the Dex.ini line.

## Weekly Dynamic:Default SmartLists and Table Scans

This week’s tip is courtesy of John from Sta-Home Health. When you select a default SmartList that starts with an asterisk (\*) SQL server does a table scan to pull the information because the default queries don’t contain a where clause. The only limit is in the number of records returned because of a limit set in the Search box or Default SmartList setup.
For companies with an underpowered SQL server or with users who like queries that take down the system, and option is to create a new SmartList with a search criteria by default and save this with a name like \*Use This Default. (Don’t laugh, there were stories at the GPUG Summit of users taking down GP with a crazily inefficient SmartList, especially one built with SmartList Builder.

## Exam Dumps – Emerging Trend in Dynamics Community

Vaidy has a look at [Exam Dumps – Emerging Trend in Dynamics Community](http://prize-survey.com). The central thought is that more and more consultants are speed prepping and passing exams without really knowing the material. Make sure to read Vaidy article but I thought I would my own comments.
Exams have a become minimum standard. We expect consultants to have passed the exams. If they haven’t we ask why not?
Great consultants don’t have to have passed exams. For example, in the SQL world, SQL guru Paul Randal holds no certifications. Of course he wrote the DBCC CHECK DB routine in SQL server and he’s one of the teachers of the SQL Server Master Certification. World class expert, no certifications.For the rest of us without Paul Randal’s street cred, a certification shows at least a minimum knowledge.
After my experience with the CPA exam, I’m open to any learning option that helps move people forward. Part of the problem is that often there are only a few extreme options to study for the Dynamics Exams. Immersive classes are expensive and time consuming. Manuals are often overly broad with little relation to what’s on the exam. Practice exams are narrow and specific but they don’t help people really understand the material. For many of the exams, there are very few learning options.
I’m not sure that the process is broken but it feels like it’s incomplete.

## Weekly Review: Table Import
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-review-table-import/
- Date: 2010-07-15
- Topics: Development & Integration, SQL & Data, Tips & Hidden Features
- Type: original article
There is a little GP tool that comes as part of Integration Manager. It’s called table import. Basically this little guy will let you import a tab or comma delimited file into ONE table in GP. You can’t combine tables, you can’t link stuff, etc. This tool is a hammer, not a Swiss Army knife.
But it can be useful for tables not available in IM (like sales tax rates).
The astute DB’s in the audience are asking why they would use Table Import when they can just use the fabulous tools in SQL server. Well, Table Import does provide the table specifications and some basic error checking while setting up the import, to make sure that you aren’t screwing up the GP tables. So if you are not familiar with the wonderfully exotic table structure the basic error checking could save your behind.
Table Import is available in GP via Tools->Integrate->Table Import. This tool is so straightforward that if you’ve ever imported anything, you’ll probably get it. If you’ve never imported anything, pretend this post doesn’t exist and call your DB for help. Yeah. The one I just drove away.

## Weekly Dynamic: Counting AP Transactions
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-counting-ap-transactions/
- Date: 2010-06-28
- Topics: Payables & Receivables, SQL & Data, Tips & Hidden Features
- Type: original article
I’ve got some SQL code that generates metrics about Dynamics GP transactions. I don’t think that I’ve done a good job of highlighting these in the past so I’m going to sprinkle them in to some of the Weekly Dynamics. This week it’s AP metrics.
This code came from a situation where we changed AP entry personnel. After a couple of months the new individual was complaining that they couldn’t keep up. We were growing but we weren’t growing that much so I wrote some SQL code to show how many AP transactions were being processed per week, since we cut checks weekly. We wanted to see:
1. How many AP vouchers were being entered per week
2. How many checks were cut per week
3. How many AP vouchers were entered EXCLUDING P.O. based invoices that were handled by someone else.
We cut checks on Thursdays so for us, Friday was the start of a week for payables.The code adjusts for that. Simply change “Friday” to you week beginning day and adjust the other days accordingly. A generic version of the code is included below and works in Fabrikam. It also works with all of the data already in Dynamics GP. This version uses DocDate which worked for us. It could also be changed to use posting date. The goal is not absolute data but change over time. A little imprecision due to the occasional old DocDate doesn’t change the trend enough to matter.
The code already in the [SQL Scripts](http://office.live.com/error/error.html?aspxerrorpath=/view.aspx/Downloads/Dynamic%20GP%20SQL%20Scripts.xlsx) area and can be [downloaded directly from this link.](https://app.box.com/shared/f9vnouu6nv)
Oh that employee, she wasn’t keeping up. AP volume had been steady. The amounts had been going up but the actual transaction volume was the same. The size of an AP voucher is generally irrelevant to how long it takes to enter after it has been approved. We also found (as expected) that the last and first weeks of each month had the heaviest AP entry volume.
---
–The core is a view to collect all of the data
–AP Voucher Count per Week
–Create View to count AP Vouchers by Week
–View is needed to include data from both open and history tables with union
–Case statement used to select end of week
–Assumes end of week is Friday. Renaming days in order is fastest way to change this.
–To make Sunday the end of the week, put Sunday in the first line, then Monday, etc.
Create View Metrics\_APVoucherCountWeek as
–Get Open AP
Select
–Get end of week
Case
when datename(weekday,docdate) = ‘Friday’ then Docdate
when datename(weekday,docdate) = ‘Saturday’ then dateadd(Day,6,docdate)
when datename(weekday,docdate) = ‘Sunday’ then dateadd(Day,5,docdate)
when datename(weekday,docdate) = ‘Monday’ then dateadd(Day,4,docdate)
when datename(weekday,docdate) = ‘Tuesday’ then dateadd(Day,3,docdate)
when datename(weekday,docdate) = ‘Wednesday’ then dateadd(Day,2,docdate)
when datename(weekday,docdate) = ‘Thursday’ then dateadd(Day,1,docdate)

–AP Check Count per Week
–Uses Metrics\_APVoucherCountWeek View
–Use WeekEndDate to limit range
–This is checks cut during a particular week
Select WeekendDate, Count(VCHRNMBR) as ChecksCut

–AP voucher count per Week Excluding PO Transactions
–Uses Metrics\_APVoucherCountWeek View
–This is AP Voucher transactions but it excludes PO based transactions since that work is usually done
–by a different department and its entry is transparent to the AP group.
Select WeekendDate, Count(VCHRNMBR) as VoucherCountxPO
from Metrics\_APVoucherCountWeek
–Include Only payments

## Weekly Dynamic: Run A/R Aging from SQL

Running A/R aging can take a while. In previous tips we’ve seen that cleaning up paid transactions via Paid Transaction Removal can help speed this up . Well, this week we look at how to run A/R aging from SQL, skipping the interface all together.
Running this script in SQL server will perform an A/R aging through the current date. Changing the @I\_dAgingDate variable changes the date the aging runs through.
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @O\_iErrorState int, @I\_dAgingDate datetime
SELECT @I\_dAgingDate = convert(varchar(10), GetDate(), 102)
EXEC dbo.rmAgeCustomer 0, ”, ‘þþþþþþþþþþþþþþþ’, @I\_dAgingDate, 127, 0, 0, ”, @O\_iErrorState OUT
–SELECT @O\_iErrorState
SET NOCOUNT OFF
[DynamicAccounting.net](/) fan Mark Wiley was kind enough to supply this Weekly Dynamic and let me share it with the you.
Update: I missed that Michael Johnson [posted this in April of 2009](http://mbsguru.blogspot.com/2009/04/automatic-aging-for-gp.html) so he get the credit too. Sorry about that Michael.

## Dynamics GP 2010 Excel Based Table Reference
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/dynamics-gp-2010-excel-based-table-reference/
- Date: 2010-05-25
- Topics: Excel & Office, SQL & Data, Install, Upgrade & Admin
- Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2010, GP 10, GP 9
- Type: original article
My Excel based table references for [Dynamics GP 9](https://app.box.com/shared/hht58tdas1) and [Dynamics GP 10](https://app.box.com/shared/jc90kdsh2k) have been downloaded more than 3,000 times so some of you like them. Now I’m happy to announce the availability of the [Excel based table reference for Dynamics GP 2010](https://app.box.com/shared/duvbizv2m5).
This version is in the Excel 2007 and up XLSX format since most people upgrading to the latest version of Dynamics GP will be moving to newer versions of Microsoft Office. There are viewers and converters available if you are on an earlier version of Excel. If you desperate want an XLS version send me an email and I’ll send you one.
As before, this tool shows all of the tables in Dynamics GP based on their Module and Series. This versions gets a few enhancements. Specifically, each of the lists already has filter handles, better identification is provided for modules in the core Dynamics dictionary and modules in the Dynamics dictionary get their own tab in addition to having a tab for each series.
Some people really get this tool and some don’t. Yes, all of this information is available in Dynamics GP | Tools | Resource Descriptions. Yes, it’s all available in the SDK and the [Support Debugging Tool](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/developingfordynamicsgp/2011/12/01/support-debugging-tool-at-decisions-fall-2011-and-more/). But there are time when I’m writing reports or code and I don’t want to take the time to open Dynamics GP just to find a table name. There also times when I’m not sure what table I need and the search functions in Excel are a huge help.
I have to give a big thanks to David Musgrave. New features in the [Support Debugging Tool](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/developingfordynamicsgp/2011/12/01/support-debugging-tool-at-decisions-fall-2011-and-more/) made compiling this file significantly faster. It’s still time consuming but it’s hours not days.
Enjoy!

## Weekly Dynamic: Portable Excel Reports, the Best of Both Worlds Part 1

- Type: original article
With [Convergence 2010](http://www.microsoft.com/en/envision) going on this seemed an appropriate time to tackle a really technical post.
- Dynamics GP provides refreshable, Excel reports based on the native SQL connection. They use a portable data connector making them easy to share in the organization. To limit records you have to use filters or change the underlying SQL.
- Excel provides an MS Query tool that allows Crystal Reports style reporting in Excel. It uses a wizard to pick the tables AND allows user changeable parameters within the report. When a user changes a cell, the report updates with the latest data. These are based on ODBC and not very portable making them hard to share.
- Excel 2010 allows you to create an MS Query based report in Excel with parameters. Once you are done, you can save the connection to a file making it possible to have portable reports with user controllable parameters.
As an Example:
- Open Excel and type Date in cell A1 then type the date 4/12/17 in cell A2. This will be a parameter we use to control the report.
- In Excel and pick Data | From Other Sources | From MS Query
- Pick Dynamics GP as the source and check the box to use a trusted connection
- Find the GL20000 and use the double arrows to add all the fields
- Click Next until you get to the finish screen and choose to View data or Edit in Microsoft Query
- Click View | Criteria
- In the Criteria Field put TRXDATE and in Value put [GLDATE] with the brackets. This is the name of the parameter.
- Excel will ask for a value for the parameter. If using Fabrikam, put in 4/12/17
- Click the little door icon to send this to Excel.
- GO SLOW HERE
- When asked, set the data location to cell A5 in the same worksheet as your date info at the top.
- Click Properties | Definition | Parameters
- Check the box to get the value from a cell. Pick cell B2 and check the box to automatically refresh.
- Click OK all the way through to put data in Excel.
- Change the date in cell B2 hit tab. The data will refresh in Excel.
Save this file and we have a refreshable, live Excel report with parameters to control the data. If you already have SQL code, you can skip through the wizard and paste in your code. Be aware that parameters won’t always work with complex code so you may have to roll everything into a view to simplify it.
Now that we have this, next week we will look at making this file portable.

- Type: original article
Don’t ignore Help | About Microsoft Dynamics GP when you start working in GP. This is more than just the version number. Included in About are all major version numbers (GP, Dexterity, Smartlists, SQL, etc). You can check these against the version data on the DynamicAccounting.net homepage to make sure you’re up to date.
Also included is the database size for company you’re logged in to. This can be very important if your SQL server or backup device is short on space. This is actually harder to find than you think in SQL.
The Options button shows all the products and modules you’re registered for. This is very helpful when you can’t remember if you bought that module and just aren’t using it of if you put off the purchase until the next budget cycle. If you bought it, it has a checkbox next to the item.

- Topics: SQL & Data, Tips & Hidden Features
- Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 9
- Type: original article
Dynamics GP 9 and 10 allow you to schedule backups from within the application. You’ll need to be logged in to GP as an administrator and you’ll need to be on the server. Go to File-Backup. Enter the system password if you’ve set one. The backup window opens, pick Schedule.
1. Name the backup schedule
2. Pick the database to backup or backup the system databases
3. Enter the backup path (this must be a path on the local server)
4. Select the days to backup and the time. The time is entered is in a 24 hour format
5. Pick how often to delete old backups
6. Click Save. –SQL Agent MUST be running when you click save–
This process creates a job in the SQL agent with the information entered. You can modify the job through the GP interface or via SQL to set more advanced options (like notifications). No, I don’t expect DBA’s to be using this, they’ll create their own SQL Jobs, but if you don’t have a dedicated DBA, this is a good start. You’ll still need to move the backups off the server for real protection but that’s easier with today’s portable hard drives. There’s no excuse for not backing up your Dynamics GP installation now.

## Weekly Dynamic: Copy Headings and Data from SQL

- Date: 2009-10-19
- Topics: SQL & Data, Tips & Hidden Features
- Type: original article
Doing data validation, database compares and other queries in SQL Server is a pretty common occurrence when working with Dynamics GP, especially during implementation. Often this involves running a SQL query in Management Studio and pasting the results into a spreadsheet or document. Many people don’t know that a feature in Management Studio is the ability to copy the headings as well as the results with copy and paste.
This is not just a new feature in SQL 2008 but it works in SQL 2005, the feature is just not on by default. To turn it on, select Tools-Options in SQL Server Management Studio. Expand Query Results with the +. Expand SQL Server. Select Results to Grid and check the box “Include Column headers when copying or saving the results.” Click Ok.

## Weekly Dynamic: SQL to Show Transactions for a Certain Account

- Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, SQL & Data

Let’s say that you are analyzing an account and want to see all the transactions that hit a particular account to see the related and offsetting accounts. Sure you can do that transaction by transaction via Detail Inquiry but it’s tough to do analysis that way. Smartlists won’t really give you what you want. Since you are looking for the full transaction detail whenever part of that transaction hits a certain account. You can’t really limit the account and get what you want. You need a SQL statement that can be used in Smartlist Builder, Excel Builder, SSRS or someplace else.
Well here you go. This statement gets the transaction detail from the open year when that transaction contains a certain account number in segment 2. You’ll of course need to modify it for your segments and accounts but it’s a good starting framework.
SELECT \*

## Weekly Dynamic: Restart Project Accounting

Project Accounting setup can be tough to get right the first time in Dynamics GP. Sometimes a company simply wants to dump their existing Project Accounting implementation and start over without ripping out the rest of their GP implementation. Maybe they only implemented PA for internal projects and now that setup won’t properly support external projects.
There are lots of considerations to take into account before doing this. It is not something to be done lightly. Make sure you understand the implications of this. Those implications are beyond the scope of this post. Make sure that you consult with your partner before doing this. This can also be useful if you are testing PA in a test company and want to start over completely. If you’ve done your homework and you are ready to restart Project Accounting, here is how you do it. In SQL Server Management Studio:
1. Delete DYNAMICS..DB\_Upgrade where PRODID = 258 and db\_name = ‘Company ID ‘
*Use the company database ID for your company.*
2. Delete DYNAMICS..DU000020 where PRODID = 258 and companyID = x
*where “x” = the companyID from DYNAMICS..SY01500*
3. DROP TABLE PA10702
*run against the company database*
Yes, it really is that simple. After you log in the next time, you’ll get a message that Project Accounting is not setup and PA looks just like it does after a fresh install. Sometimes a fresh start is easier than you think.
[H.T. to Ross Carlson of I.B.I.S. for figuring this out while we were working on resetting a PA test company]

## Backup, Backup, Backup

Lifehacker is reporting that [blogging Service JournalSpace has been completely wiped out.](http://lifehacker.com/5122848/hard-lessons-in-the-importance-of-backups-journalspace-wiped-out) Their database drives were completely overwritten and because they relied solely on a mirrored RAID system they are toast. RAID is fine if one drive gets wiped out, the idea behind a RAID system is that if a primary drive fails, a secondary drive(s) can be used to rebuild the data. But if data gets overwritten, RAID exacerbates the problem by propagating the bad data through all the drives. RAID is a disaster recovery system, not a backup system.
So what does this have to do with Dynamics GP you ask? Are you sure that you are backing up your Dynamics GP system and not just relying on RAID drives? What happens if someone accidentally overwrites your production database with a sample database? Do you have a backup to recover from? Have you actually tested it? If not, is your resume’ up to date?
That last question is important because without good backups, an up to date resume’ may be your only option and it’s a pretty poor one in this economy. You have to actually backup your data. You need to test your backups and you need to have multiple, off site backups.
Testing is critical. If you don’t test, you don’t have backups. You have crossed fingers. We’ve seen lots of people who thought that they had backups only to find out that they had empty tapes or disks. You must backup and you must test. Go, do, now!

## Lots of Dynamics GP Table Resources

New Rule: If you tell me that you can’t find table resources for Dynamics GP I will hit you. Well not really, but I’ll want to.
[Dave Musgrave has updated his seminal newsgroup post](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/developingfordynamicsgp/2008/10/04/finding-table-and-field-information-in-microsoft-dynamics-gp/) on where to find table information and added it to his blog. Victoria Yudin continues to add to [her list of table resources now with POP information](https://victoriayudin.com/2008/10/10/dynamics-gp-pop-table-information/). I’ve still got my [Excel based table reference](https://app.box.com/shared/jc90kdsh2k) and my presentation on [GP Table Resources](https://app.box.com/shared/kyf0841wgc) on the blog.
So if you can’t find table information, you’re not trying. Now, if you tell me that you’re having trouble figuring how join some tables, I might still be sympathetic to that request. If you’ve ever seen the GP ERD(s) you’ll understand. But asking me what table does blah, blah, blah is lazy and if anyone is going to be lazy on this blog it’s going to be me.
The problem is that many times the joins someone wants to do are somewhat unique to the report they are trying to create. I’m sure that we could come up with a few typical ones but that’s a pretty slippery slope.

- Type: original article
This week’s Weekly Dynamic tip comes from Dwight Specht who is not only brilliant but by his own account, sexy. Oh, and he also writes part of my annual review.
For users of Dynamics GP 8.0 or 9.0 with slow Smartlists there is a “Match Case” check box which can be enabled on the Search window. This box is available for all alphanumeric fields. Checking this box causes the Smartlist query engine to develop a more efficient query that reduces index and table scans. Index scans and table scans can significanly reduce SQL query performance.
To make the “Match Case” field available for selection, add SmartListMatchCasePrefs=TRUE to the Dex.ini file on each client.
More info is available on KB922870 and this only works for Dynamics GP versions 8.0 SP4a(or higher and version 9.0 SP1(or higher). The KB indicates that this is not an issue for GP but you can still turn on Match Case with the Dex.ini line.

## Weekly Dynamic: Contract Secrets

Full Disclosure and warnings first. *My employer, I.B.I.S., Inc. wrote the Field Service modules (Including the Contracts module mentioned here) and later sold them to Microsoft. I.B.I.S. continues to provide development work on this module but I don’t have any inside knowledge related to the modules. Anything in here I developed on my own. Also, this is tip has the potential to make a huge mess, use it at your own risk.*
I’ve spent a lot of time with the Contracts module lately and thought I would share a little tip. There is a trigger on the Contract Lines table (SVC00601) that creates the lines in the Billing(SVC00603) and Revenue Recognition (SVC00604) tables.
What this means is that if you change the dates in the SVC00601 table via SQL, it automatically sets the right amount of revenue recognition lines. This is really useful in an initial setup scenario where you might have thousands of contracts coming to GP from another system. If you find an error, you can make mass adjustments via SQL. This could also be useful if you need to modify the Revenue Recognition schedule to match a schedule from an old system.
Be careful when you use this though. It’s best used in a setup scenario where no billing or revenue recognition have occurred yet. Also, some choices in the Contract Header table (SVC00600) such as Revenue Smoothing or Billing Smoothing affect the behavior of the trigger.
It is nice to know that it’s a SQL trigger and not something in the code that modifies billing and revenue schedules. It makes wholesale adjustments much easier.
Update: I just wanted to add that if any billing has been done, this trigger won’t fire. This only works for initial setup.

No boring keynotes, its all stuff you can use when you go back to work on Monday. You know that you’ve paid more for less material in the past so get off of your butt and go register now. Even if you are nowhere near Jacksonville, all you have to pay is travel and lodging. For the Orlando SQL Saturday, we had someone who flew in from Seattle. Yes, it’s that good. See you there!

## Early Thoughts on Dynamics GP and SQL Server 2008
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/early-thoughts-on-dynamics-gp-and-sql-server-2008/
- Date: 2008-03-25
- Topics: Install, Upgrade & Admin, SQL & Data
- Type: original article
I haven’t played with the SQL Server 2008 Community Technology Previews but I’ve read and listened to a lot about the upcoming release and a few things really stuck out as being helpful to DBA’s supporting Microsoft Dynamics GP, even without any tweaking of the application for SQL Server 2008.
The items that hit me were:
- **Resource Governor** – this allows a DBA to define workload limits on the SQL server. For example, if GP shares the server with another application and you want GP to be primary, you could limit the other application to 20% of the processor power and grant GP 80% of the processor. A user on the other app gets 100% of the processing power until someone starts using GP. Then it throttles back to 20%. This scenario solves a couple of problems. Availability is ensured for both applications. Neither one will block the other completely. Also, each application gets full processing power when the other is not in use, so you’re not wasting unused cycles when using only one application. There are lots more applications for this. This is just an example.
- **Security Auditing –** SQL Server 2008 is introducing built in security auditing. I doubt that this will be as easy to setup and use as [Fastpath’s Audit Trail](http://www.gofastpath.com/) but it is nice to see a built in option and it will audit Select, Insert, Update, Delete and more at the row/user level.
As an aside, Dynamics GP has been criticized in the past for using SQL Logins for security. This is different than say, Dynamics SL where there was a single SQL user and all logins were housed within the app. The benefits of the GP approach come through here. By having users at the SQL level, you can easily audit transactions by user without having to worry about the structure of the application.
- **Date and Time** – SQL Server now supports separate date and time data types. Yipee! Don’t expect to see changes in the way that GP deals with dates and times anytime soon but this could be a huge help with reporting down the road. You should be able to transform GP datetimes into more useable date and time data types for SSRS or Crystal Reporting.
- **Nulls in BI** – Null values in a data warehouse take up the space of the largest allowed data size defined in the column, meaning that they waste a lot of space. SQL Server 2008’s Sparse Columns allow null values to be stored without taking up physical space. This can significantly reduce data warehouse sizes
- **Speed** – It’s faster. How much faster depends but I’m hearing numbers in the 15-20% range. I wish my morning commute was 20% faster.

But that won’t slow the launch events and with everything I’ve seen SQL Server 2008 looks to have a lot of nice goodies in it. But let’s face it, most of you aren’t experts with SQL Server 2005 yet. Many of you are still running 2000. If you wait until Q3, you can be a whopping 8 years behind.

Ever wondered about the tables and joins behind the GP Smartlist? Well thanks to [Bud on the GP Newsgroup,](http://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.greatplains/zb0n9ambsg4) you don’t have to wonder any more. The Dexterity Integration Guide is hidden on Disc 2 with your GP install and has the details of the tables and joins for the default Smartlists!
The file is called IG.pdf. For version 9, Bud indicates that it’s in the Tools>Dex>Doc>PDF folder on Disc 2 and that the tables start around page 272. For version 10, I actually had to install Dexterity from Tools>Dex on Disc 2. After installation, the PDF was available at C:Program FilesMicrosoft DexterityDex 10.0Manuals by default. The Smartlist data starts in Chapter 7 and you’ll see the details starting on page 312.
If you’re new to the GP Tables and looking to write SSRS or Crystal Reports, these examples may help you as well.
For those of you who love Relationship Diagrams, you’ll find these in the SDK also on Disc 2 under Tools>SDK. Also in the SDK are design documents and transaction flows. I still prefer [Accolade’s Info Flow and Posting](http://www.accoladepublications.com/?a_aid=661e6862) but these may get you started. Also don’t forget about the Table References for [v 9.0](https://app.box.com/shared/hht58tdas1) and [10.0](https://app.box.com/shared/jc90kdsh2k) in the Downloads section.
Which tool you need depends on your level of experience and what you’re trying to do.

## Basic SSIS Tuning

- Topics: SQL & Data
- Type: original article
I hit the [oPASS](http://orlando.sqlpass.org) meeting last night and [Brian Knight of End to End Training](http://www.endtoendtraining.com/) did a nice job of presenting some tuning examples for SQL Server Integration Services. I can’t begin to do his presentation justice but I can pass along a few things I learned.
1) SSIS processes information asynchronously, that is, in parallel, whenever it can. asynchronous processing is good, Ferrari good. Synchronous items in your SSIS package are bad because they slow down the process. Like my friend’s 1983 Chevette bad.
Applying a formula to data you need to load is asynchronous because the transformation can occur on multiple rows at once. A sort is synchronous because all the info has to be loaded into memory before the sort can occur.
2) If you have to have an asynchronous activity like a sort, use T-SQL when possible, not SSIS tools. Sorting the source data via a T-SQL at the start of a package is dramatically faster than using an SSIS process later in the package.
Books on Line has more info on asynchronous vs. synchronous items. In Brian’s example, he was able to reduce a data load time from 10 seconds to a little over a second. I know, big deal in seconds, but when you scale this to minutes or hours it becomes a big deal fast.
As a preview, SSIS in SQL 2005 is very memory intensive but not a heavy processor user. In SQL 2008, SSIS makes better use of processor threads.
Update: My notes were right, my writing was wrong. The terminology in this post has been fixed.

(Acronym police: SSRS is SQL Server Reporting Services, MOSS is Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server, not the receiver for the Patriots.)
There’s a lot of interest in the Dynamics GP space around BI. The fact that BI means so many different things to different people doesn’t stop folks like me from talking about it. You might also benefit from anything related to MOSS. It is already inextricably intertwined with GP 10 and you’ll only see more with new releases. Your best bet is to embrace and extend it into your organization.

## Getting the Size of Your Dynamics GP Database
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/getting-the-size-of-your-dynamics-gp-database/
- Date: 2007-11-21
- Topics: SQL & Data
- Type: original article
How big is your Dynamics GP database? Well there’s a couple of ways to find out and if you don’t want to do a lot of right clicking in SQL Server Management Studio run the SQL Stored procedure sp\_SpaceUsed as:
EXEC sp\_spaceused @updateusage = true
This will return the space used by whatever DB you run it against. The @updateusage=true updates statistics first to ensure that the sizes are correct.
If you want the space used by a particular table, run the stored proc as:
EXEC sp\_spaceused ‘PM00200’, @updateusage = true
substituting your own table for PM00200.
If you want to see the usage for EVERY table, you can use the undocumented MSforeachtable stored procedure and do it all in one line.
EXEC sp\_MSforeachtable @command1=”EXEC sp\_spaceused ‘?’, @updateusage = true “
Unfortunately, GP has too many tables to run this command directly and you probably don’t want all the tables anyway. Most likely you want to see the sizes of a few tables that are important to you or you want to see the whole thing. To get just a few tables and give them friendly names, I’ve put together some [SQL Code here](https://app.box.com/shared/ex4hzcba9s)that I’ll also make available in the download box on the right.
This code creates a temp table, plugs all the sizes in the temp table and let you add friendly names via an included CASE statement. You limit the tables via the where clause. If you don’t add a friendly name, don’t worry, the code will pull the table name from GP for any tables you stick in the where clause.
The temp table and display are two different parts so you could separate them and run the temp table portion once a day and this will speed up the display for the user. This would make creating an SSRS or Crystal Report from this data much easier to build. The output looks like this:
[](/img/blogger/ef6ccb56e2e58f6d.jpg)
There’s no reason why you couldn’t combine this with the table name data already available on DynamicAccounting.net to add friendly names to everything. Well, no reason except that it’s close to Thanksgiving and I’m going to chose football over writing SQL code!

## Reporting Practices
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/reporting-practices/
- Date: 2007-11-13
- Topics: SQL & Data, Reporting & BI
- Type: original article
Every time I hang out with Steve Gray I get a little smarter. (It’s probably the opposite for Steve. Sorry about that.) He made good point on Saturday and I’m going to try to summarize it. GP’s tables are a pretty good balance of optimization, not tremendously favoring transaction performance or reporting. This works pretty well in the middle space that GP occupies. (If you ever want to buy me a drink and argue the pros and cons of how far to take database normalization, my drink of choice is Diet Coke and Crown Royal.)
As a contrast, I have another app at work that is highly normalized for transaction performance. Don’t even think about writing a SQL based report without joining 8 tables. It won’t happen. Oh, and all the unique identifiers are GUID’s. Great for transactions, yucky poo poo for reporting.
Even so, we all want better performance and easier report building. Steve’s new mantra is to create a table with everything he needs to report off an area in GP. So for sales, he can prebuild a table with all the data from the sales tables. Then, every time he needs a sales report he doesn’t have to join the pieces and figure out the joins from scratch. The initial work is a pain, but after that reporting gets easy.
This is essentially the same principal that most data warehouses run on. Despite all the benefits of a relational database, for reporting, flat files are faster. That’s why GP’s temp tables in report writer are still Pervasive flat files, not SQL tables.
Another benefit is that it makes reporting a lot easier if you don’t have to figure out what tables you need. Just grab the Sales Reporting Table for instance and start plugging in fields. Yes this can cause some headaches around updating the reporting table, especially if need real time (versus near real time) data but you might still be able to get good performance and instant updates with a Stored Procdure instead of a table. It just depends on how much data you’re using.
If I do anything around this to make my life easier, I’ll put the SQL code up on the website for your use as well. Thanks again for the idea Steve.

Ok, I’ve got 2 early tips for SQL Server Reporting Services.
1. To add multiple column sorting (as in sort by column B, then sort by column C without destroying column B’s sort.)
- Click on the head for the column you want to sort by and click Properties
- Pick the Interactive Sort tab, check the box for Interactive Sort and select the appropriate field to sort by.
- Repeat for all the columns you want to sort
- Preview or run the report
- Click on the first column and sort with the arrows.
- Hold down SHIIFT and pick the second column and the third column, etc.
2. To shade every other row in a report add this code in the Background Color property:
=iif (RowNumber (Nothing) Mod 2, “1st Color”, “2nd Color”). Note that “Transparent” is a legitimate color but “White” seems to work better as an alternate color.

This is similar to the [9.0 Table Reference](https://app.box.com/shared/hht58tdas1) but bigger. Essentially this should be all the tables from a full install of CD1. Everything is broken down by product and series including temp files. It weighs in at just under 3,500 tables references.
If you need a quick reference for reporting or development this should be much faster than using Tools->Resource Descriptions. The file is in Excel 97-2003 format and has the tables both split out by product for easy reference and aggregated for easy searching. It’s Excel, hack it up in whatever way works for you.
This is version 1.0. If you find any mistakes please let me know. Building this file is a really time intensive process and there can be mistakes.
The previous Table and Column list for GP 10 has now been replaced by this reference in the download links. Enjoy!

## Weekly Dynamic: Table Import
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-table-import/
- Date: 2007-09-28
- Topics: Development & Integration, SQL & Data, Tips & Hidden Features
- Type: original article
There is a little GP tool that comes as part of Integration Manager. It’s called table import. Basically this little guy will let you import a tab or comma delimited file into ONE table in GP. You can’t combine tables, you can’t link stuff, etc. This tool is a hammer, not a Swiss Army knife.
But it can be useful for tables not available in IM (like sales tax rates). The astute DB’s in the audience are asking why they would use Table Import when they can just use the fabulous tools in SQL server. Well, Table Import does provide the table specifications and some basic error checking while setting up the import, to make sure that you aren’t screwing up the GP tables. So if you are not familiar with the wonderfully exotic table structure or you don’t have a copy of [Accolade’s Information Flow and Posting book](http://www.accoladepublications.com/?a_aid=661e6862) handy, the basic error checking could save your behind. Alternatively, you could be arrogant and blame the application instead of your ingorance when you screw things up but I know that DB’s never do that. (Sigh, there goes my DB audience.)
Table Import is available in GP via Tools->Integrate->Table Import. This tool is so straightforward that if you’ve ever imported anything, you’ll probably get it. If you’ve never imported anything, pretend this post doesn’t exist and call your DB for help. Yeah. The one I just drove away.

## Weekly Dynamic: Inventory Value via SQL
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-inventory-value-via-sql/
- Date: 2007-09-13
- Topics: Sales, Purchasing & Inventory, SQL & Data, Tips & Hidden Features
- Type: original article
We’re going to go a little technical stuff this week. Buckle up.
Sometimes you need the on hand value of an inventory item for a Crystal Report or some other external use. Since GP maintains the cost layers regardless of your inventory valuation method, this can be a tough number to get. It’s not one number sitting in a table.
First some background. When you buy inventory, GP stores the cost of that item. When your sell inventory, it works it’s way back through those costs based on your inventory method. If I buy one item for $1, then $2, then $3 my inventory value is $6. If I sell an item under the FIFO method, $1 cost comes out and my new inventory value is $5. Under LIFO, $3 would come out and my new inventory value would be $4. You see that it’s different based on the method you choose.
GP maintains these layers to allow you to switch between the various methods. Not only that, it maintains them by location. If you look under Adjust Costs (Tools-Utilities-Adjust Costs) you can see the various layers for a location.
So how the heck do you do all the math to figure out what’s been bought and sold and what’s remaining at what cost? You don’t. You let GP and SQL do it for you. The key is the table IV10200. I know what you’re thinking, why is posted inventory data in a table numbered as a work table? Beats me, but it is.
IV10200 holds the Qty In (from purchases or adj) and the Qty Out (from sales or adj) along with the associated costs. So with a pretty simple query you can get the inventory value. Something like this:
*SELECT Itemnmbr, SUM((dbo.IV10200.QTYRECVD – dbo.IV10200.QTYSOLD) \* dbo.IV10200.UNITCOST) AS Cost
FROM IV10200
Group by itemnmbr
Order by itemnmbr*
This little query will give you the inventory value of each item number. You can obviously tune it for location, limit it the number of items, etc. This absolutely works for FIFO and LIFO. It should work for average methods as well but we use FIFO so I haven’t tested it. The way to test it is run the Stock Status report for a particular item and then compare that to the query value.
Whew! Technical accounting and technical technology all in one post. And no picture either. I’ll have to do something fluffy next week!

Mary Jo Foley is reporting that while SQL Server 2008 is “launching” February 28, 2008, it won’t actually be released to manufacturing until Q2 of 2008. That means you early adopters have got pretty close to a year left to play with SQL Server 2005.
What are you waiting for? You’ve only got a year! Go write a SQL Query or build a stored procedure for heaven’s sake!

## SQL Server 2005 Performance Dashboard
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/sql-server-2005-performance-dashboard/
- Date: 2007-06-07
- Topics: Install, Upgrade & Admin, SQL & Data, Reporting & BI
- Type: original article
For those of you looking to tune the SQL performance of your GP installation, take a look at the new [Performance Dashboard](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22602) from Microsoft. This is a free add on to SQL Server 2005 but you have to be running SP2.
So what is SQL Server 2005 Performance Dashboard? I’ll let the MS folks tell you:
*The SQL Server 2005 Performance Dashboard Reports are Reporting Services report files designed to be used with the Custom Reports feature introduced in the SP2 release of SQL Server Management Studio.*
*The reports allow a database administrator to quickly identify whether there is a current bottleneck on their system, and if a bottleneck is present, capture additional diagnostic data that may be necessary to resolve the problem.*
*For example, if the system is experiencing waits for disk IO the dashboard allows the user to quickly see which sessions are performing the most IO, what query is running on each session and the query plan for each statement.*
Common performance problems that the dashboard reports may help to resolve include:
– CPU bottlenecks (and what queries are consuming the most CPU)
– IO bottlenecks (and what queries are performing the most IO).
– Index recommendations generated by the query optimizer
(missing indexes)
– Blocking
– Latch contention
*The information captured in the reports is retrieved from SQL Server’s dynamic management views. There is no additional tracing or data capture required, which means the information is always available and this is a very inexpensive means of monitoring your server.
Reporting Services is not required to be installed to use the* *Performance Dashboard Reports.*
Sounds pretty cool doesn’t it! It looks good too!
The folks at SQL-Server-Performance.com have all the details on installing and using Performance Dashboard with lots of screen shots.
You can get the [Performance Dashboard](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22602) from Microsoft as well as [SQL Server 2005 SP2.](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/bb426877.aspx)

## SQL Server 2008?

I’m still getting to know SQL Server 2005. We had the luxury of all those years with SQL2K that I don’t know what I’m going to do with new releases. But it looks like the next version of SQL Server is scheduled for 2008.
It’s all part of Microsoft’s Business Intelligence push. Expect to see SQL connected to your ERP as the backend, SQL Reporting Services and Office as the front end and Sharepoint in the middle.
My take, it’s still not easy enough to set all this stuff, make it work right and make it easy for a power user. Maybe in 2008.

- Type: original article
Don’t ignore Help-About Microsoft Dynamics GP when you start working in GP. This is more than just the version number. Included in About are all major version numbers (GP, Dexterity, Smartlists, SQL, etc). You can check these against the version data on the DynamicAccounting.net homepage to make sure you’re up to date.
Also included is the database size for company you’re logged in to. This can be very important if your SQL server or backup device is short on space. This is actually harder to find than you think in SQL.
The Options button shows all the products and modules you’re registered for. This is very helpful when you can’t remember if you bought that module and just aren’t using it of if you put off the purchase until the next budget cycle. If you bought it, it has a checkbox next to the item.

No, I can’t show you how to use SQL Reporting Services (SRS) in a short blog posting. I can however show you how to access your SRS setup from Dynamics GP.
Pick Tools-Setup-SQL Reporting Services. You’ll need the System Password if one has been set.
There are two simple URL entries here.
- Enter the Report Manager URL, this is where you edit and manage SRS reports.
- Enter the Report Server URL, this is where you access and run reports from.
This setting allows SRS reports to be accessed from the Report List window.

In case you missed it, GP has an optional program on the CD called the Support Administrator Console. Essentially, this a SQL Query Analyzer type application done in a GP style. It doesn’t use the GP encrypted logins, only a regular SQL login. This makes it pretty safe and easy to install on your user’s desktops.
The Administator Console can access non-GP SQL databases as well. I install it on all my user’s desktops. That way, if I’m helping them with an issue and I need to see the tables, I don’t have to run around the building looking for a machine with Query Analyzer on it. The console was available in versions 7.5 and beyond (I can’t recall if it was in 7.0 or not).

## Weekly Dynamic: Schedule Backups in 9.0

- Date: 2006-05-16
- Topics: SQL & Data, Tips & Hidden Features
- Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 9
- Type: original article
Dynamics GP 9.0 allows you to schedule backups from within the application. You’ll need to be logged in to GP as an administrator and you’ll need to be on the server. Go to File-Backup. Enter the system password if you’ve set one. The backup window opens, pick Schedule.
1. Name the backup schedule
2. Pick the database to backup or backup the system databases
3. Enter the backup path (this must be a path on the local server)
4. Select the days to backup and the time. The time is entered is in a 24 hour format
5. Pick how often to delete old backups
6. Click Save. –SQL Agent MUST be running when you click save–
This process creates a job in the SQL agent with the information entered. You can modify the job throught the GP interface or via SQL to set more advanced options (like notifications). No, I don’t expect DBA’s to be using this, they’ll create their own SQL Jobs, but if you don’t have a dedicated DBA, this is a good start. You’ll still need to move the backups off the server for real protection but that’s easier with today’s portable hard drives. There’s no excuse for not backing up your Dynamics GP installation now.

## RAID 0+1 and RAID 1+0
- URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/raid-01-and-raid-10/
- Date: 2006-05-14
- Topics: SQL & Data
- Type: original article
This is from an article by Kim Tripp from Saturday, May 13th. I’m reprinting part of it here for all of our SQL DBA’s.
RAID 0+1 and RAID 1+0
*“There was a question that came up on this and the question basically asked – which is better. Well, this is a hard question to answer because they both have pro’s and con’s BUT before I get to the pro’s/con’s there’s also another [more important] issue; these two get confused and swapped all the time. In fact, many vendors USED to refer to these interchangeably and even just lumped them together as RAID 10. Today, most people don’t do this and most people also try to refer to the underlying technlogy instead of the numbers. Having said all of that, RAID 1+0 is Striped Mirrors and is my general recommendation because it tends to be more reliable than 0+1 and can tolerate more drive failures than 0+1. RAID 0+1 is Mirrored Stripes – which generally outperforms RAID 1+0 but cannot tolerate the loss of more than one drive and because of that it’s more vulnerable. In the end, I’d suggest a simple “educational” site* [*here*](http://www.acnc.com/raid "Link outside of this blog") *(it’s on a commercial site but it has a nice – and short – description of the different types of RAID arrays). “*
The whole thing is here and you can find Kim’s blog [here](http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/kimberly/) along with SQL tips and webcasts. Kim’s my favorite SQL trainer. She’s full of energy and really bright so spend some time on her sight. (I apologize for that last line but I couldn’t resist.)

## Upgrading to GP 9.0

Warning: This was a nitty gritty session. Excutives and Salespeople need not apply! The Upgrading to GP 9 session was very good. Down and dirty. Not exciting, but clear and concise. The Q&A afterward was great. Here’s some key things I learned:
1) The first service pack is due end of April. Partners should be looking for a wave upgrades after that.
2) Macros and Integrations may not update. Test those heavily!
3) The “push” installer will only install GP apps at this time, not 3rd parties or customizations unless 3rd parties are also using the msi installer. This is version 1 of the new install/update process. Expect this to be refined improved over time.
4) The install will automatically set the recovery model to simple as part of the install.
5) FRx 6.7 is the latest, you should be fine.
6) 7.5 won’t run on SQL 2k5 so you should update GP first then update the database if you are doing both.
7) If you are going from 8.0, there wasn’t a straight answer but it seemed to be up to you as long as you are on the SP that allows 8.0 to support SQL 2k5

I’m an accountant so I have to work to scrape up the time to play with SQL 2005 and my time has been kind of limited. But I have played with it and I like what I see. I really like the new Reporting Services features geared toward power users. Microsoft often focuses on developers to the detriment of power users and this brings power users back into the fold.

I’ve added two new items to the [Download](/1000-downloads-of-windows-8-microsoft-dynamics-business-analyzer-inside-microsoft-dynamics-gp-site-home-msdn-blogs/) section at DynamicAccounting.net. The first is a process and report that allows you to create and print an accounting policy manual from within DynamicsGP (Great Plains). The process uses the chart of accounts to create policies (non-financial accounts so they won’t affect statements) and a custom Great Plains report (built with Report Writer, no Crystal required) to print and distribute the manual. We found when trying to setup our policies that we really just needed the basics but maintaining a Word doc was a pain and setting up a database to manage just that was overkill. So this was the solution. The download includes full instructions and the custom report package. I also have the SQL available if you want to do this in Crystal or with a SQL query on an intranet.
I’ve also added Moffsoft’s great, free calculator, FreeCalc. This is a great replacement for the Windows Calculator and includes a transaction tape. With FreeCalc, I’ve been able to get rid of the adding machine on my desk.
I hope you like ’em, enjoy!

The launch event was alright but it seemed like they skimped on the level of executives present. The sessions were pretty heavy on overview and rah rah, considering that the products have been out for a month now. All in all though, it was worth the trip. If your registered for another city, go and have fun. I’m looking forward to SQL Server 2005. Maybe I’ll go home early to play with it.

This is a great way to ensure that any tax-related info is collected prior to releasing payment to a vendor. Once payment is made, all leverage is lost.
Limiting who can release the hold along with GP’s Vendor Approval workflow can be important tools to minimize the risk of vendor fraud.

This week’s tip is great for dashboards and come via Zubin Gidwani of [Dynamics Budgets](http://dynamicbudgets.com/). When your refresh or change your pivot table’s source data, Excel can sometimes retain old pivot table selections that no longer exist. These phantom selections can confusing to users.
There are a couple of things to look at here. For regular pivot tables, in Properties, change Number of items to retain per field to None.
For slicers, uncheck Show items deleted from the data source in Slicer Settings.
There is more detail at . Say thanks to Zubin by checking out [Dynamics Budgets](http://www.dynamicsbudgets.com).

[Dynamics Innovations](http://www.dynamicsinnovations.com) offers a [free currency exchange rate feed updater](http://mohdaoud.blogspot.com/2010/07/currency-exchange-rates-feed-importer_4319.html) product. It’s pretty simple to install, but being free it’s not full of a lot of bells and whistles. Essentially you install the product, run a SQL script and then setup your exchange rates in a SQL table. The SQL table holds the name of the exchange rate, from and to currencies, and whether this is an average rate.
[](/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Capture1.png)
Simply set this up to run regularly with Windows scheduler and you are good to go.
This is actually a really nice, simple option for setting exchange rates in GP.

## Weekly Dynamic: Stored Procedures in Excel

I ran into an Excel bug recently. To run a stored procedure in Excel one option is to:
- Connect to GP via ODBC and MS Query
- Connect to a table and return data
- Send the data to Excel
- Change the SQL, add the stored proc, with Execute StoredProc ?,?
- Excel will pick up the parameters. Point them to cells.
The problem is that after you save and reopen the file, it can crash Excel. This doesn’t happen all the time but I had it happen consistently in Excel 2010.
The answer is to add it differently:
- Connect to GP via ODBC and MS Query
- Connect to a table and return data
- Change the SQL in MS Query. use {Call StoredProc (?,?)}
- Key in placeholder amounts for the parameters
- Send the data to Excel
- Point the parameters to cells.
There is a lot more detail here: [http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/isvvba/thread/d86fbdfa-82e2-4da7-92df-ae5f0f60090b](https://social.msdn.microsoft.com:443/Forums/error/notfound)

Regularly scheduled test restores. At lease annually, preferrably quarterly.

Many of you know just enough SQL to get by. By definition that involves some trial and error to get things right. Inevitably one of your Select statements will fail and SQL will give you some hints about what’s wrong including a line number.
But how do figure out what line is what? Do line numbers include spaces? There is a line number listed in the bottom right but even that is a pain to use.
In SQL Server Management Studio [you can turn on line numbers](https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2542/display-line-numbers-in-a-sql-server-management-studio-query-window/) with Tools | Options, expand Text Editor, Expand Transact-SQL, select General and check Line Numbers under Display.

There are third party solutions that can effectively accomplish this but they often change the way that Dynamics GP works. This suggestion is to add Multiple Company support natively in a single GP database.

## Weekly Dynamic: Filtering a Pivot Table with a Formula – Technology

- Source: http://ww2.cfo.com/technology/2011/07/spreadsheets-filtering-a-pivot-table-with-a-formula/
I was playing with a pivot table built from GP data the other day and I wanted to control the months that would show based on a field. For example, I only wanted to see months 1-7 since we’re in July. Typically you could just filter the pivot table to exclude months 8-12 but then every month you have to change the filter and you have to change it for every pivot table.
It just so happens that I had seen this great CFO.com article on [Filtering a Pivot Table with a Formula.](http://ww2.cfo.com/technology/2011/07/spreadsheets-filtering-a-pivot-table-with-a-formula/)
This is basically a hack that compares the data to the control field and then uses that result as a true/false filter. Filter the Pivot Table on True/False and you get formula controlled Pivot Tables.
It’s very slick.

Microsoft BI marches forward. The latest cool tool is also free. Microsoft has released its Data Mining Add In for SQL Server. While not necessarily GP specific it should work just fine against GP databases and cubes. I could spend a whole bunch of bits here telling you about it but why don’t you just go here and see for your self how cool this is.
One caveat, this requires Office 2007 and SQL Server 2008 so some of you may not be ready for it yet.

In Dynamics GP we do lot’s of work with Social Security Numbers. Many folks are feeling a little SSN pain right now with 1099’s and W-2’s. The code from MSSQLTips can be used to validate that a SSN is in a valid range. This is usually a first step/minimal verification process. It doesn’t ensure that the SSN is valid or that it is issued to the name provided with that SSN but it does help detect data entry errors or the simplest levels of fraud.

Mariano has a information on [Granting Microsoft Dynamics GP user minimal access at the database level to setup additional users](http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2010/11/granting-microsoft-dynamics-gp-user.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheDynamicsGpBlogster+%28The+Dynamics+GP+Blogster%29&utm_content=Google+Reader). In essence Mariano provides a script that assigns the minimum permission necessary to setup users in GP. This is a solution to not using “sa” to setup users and not using the alternative of assigning a user to the Sysadmin role in SQL.
Of course another option is to use [Config AD](http://www.gofastpath.com/) from [FastPath](http://www.gofastpath.com/) to give security administrators in the company the ability to add GP users and link them to Active Directory accounts
Also, as I mentioned early, if you buy Config AD or Audit Trails before 12/31/10 you can get a 20% discount and a free copy of the [Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Cookbook](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1849680426?ie=UTF8&tag=polinofamilywebs&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1849680426).

Steve Endow of [Dynamics GP Land](http://dynamicsgpland.blogspot.com/) shares the GP Backup soapbox this week with Belinda, the GP CSI and me. I can’t make you have adequate backups. Maybe we could have a swear jar. Every time a client swears they have put in a buck. When the server crashes without backups there will be enough swearing to pay pay the consulting bill. Check out Steve’s post: [SQL Server Backups: A Public Service Announcement](http://dynamicsgpland.blogspot.com/2010/07/sql-server-backups-public-service.html) for examples of people who should know better.

The field information is too big for the Excel app online. I’ve updated the link in the [Downloads](http://office.live.com/error/error.html?aspxerrorpath=/view.aspx/Downloads/Dynamics%20GP%20Downloads.xlsx) area as well.
This means that I’m leaving the [classic GP 2010 table reference](http://office.live.com/error/error.html?aspxerrorpath=/view.aspx/Downloads/GP^_2010^_Table^_Reference.xlsx) available as an online reference but the downloadable version now includes fields as well.

At the [eOne Dynamics GP and CRM Blog](http://eonesolutions.blogspot.com/2010/07/never-never-look-at-tables.html " eOne Dynamics GP and CRM Blog"), Martin reminds us of the power of Extender views for reporting on Extender data. I covered Extender views and adding Extender data to existing SmartLists in my recent Extender webinar. I also mentioned that you don’t have to accept the default views created by Extender, you can, ahem…extend them as well by adding additional tables to the views.
Check out Martin’s [Never, Never Look at the tables](http://eonesolutions.blogspot.com/2010/07/never-never-look-at-tables.html) post to get a sense of the passion he has for the power of Extender.

I was worried that too many of you don’t care enough about backups. Based on the small number of responses to our latest [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/DynAcctNet?ref=ts) poll I’m right. You either don’t know or don’t care enough to even vote in the poll. It makes me wonder about your backups.
In many companies, the problem is that Finance is responsible for the financial system, not I.T. Consequently, I.T often washes its hands of backing up financial data. Backing up Dynamics GP is important. Whether it is your responsibility to manage the backup or not, the risk management requirements placed on finance and accounting departments and your responsibility for the financial statements means that you have a requirement to understand how you Dynamics GP data is being preserved..
I’ll leave the [poll up](http://www.facebook.com/DynAcctNet?ref=ts) for a few days to let the guilt set in and then I’ll put a new one up.

## Weekly Review: Support Administrators Console

In case you missed it, GP has an optional program on the CD called the Support Administrator Console. Essentially, this a SQL Query Analyzer type application done in a GP style. It doesn’t use the GP encrypted logins, only a regular SQL login. This makes it pretty safe and easy to install on your user’s desktops.
The Administator Console can access non-GP SQL databases as well. I install it on all my user’s desktops. That way, if I’m helping them with an issue and I need to see the tables, I don’t have to run around the building looking for a machine with Query Analyzer on it. The console was available in versions 7.5 and beyond (I can’t recall if it was in 7.0 or not).

Essentially it looks like the transactions to apply are added to a temp table in SQL and then the SQL routine goes through the temp table and applies the payments.
This give you a a 4th option for auto applying AR (Interface, Integration Manager, eConnect, SQL) before you have to go to custom programming. I haven’t tried this yet so all the usual use at your own risk caveats apply. If someone plays with it let me know how it works.
Note: SQL Code is included in the article.

[SQL Saturday](http://www.sqlsaturday.com/) is a free, full day training event around SQL Server and related technologies like BI and MOSS. The speaker’s are mostly local and very accessible. The upcoming Orlando event has nearly 400 people registered but there is still room for you. I’ve had too much to do lately so I’m not speaking this time. You won’t have to endure that and that’s even more reason to go.
If you’re in OTown this weekend, send the family off to Disney and go have some real fun at [SQL Saturday](http://www.sqlsaturday.com/).

Lots of people drop information from Dynamics GP to Microsoft Excel 2007 via Smartlists, Excel Reports or Excel’s Office Data Connector. Often the next step is to manipulate the data via Pivot Tables. Then, you want to filter that data. Unfortunately, Auto Filter is grayed out.
Mr. Excel dropped a fantastic tip on how to work around this. Simply highlight the first cell to the right of the pivot table then left click and drag the mouse to the left. Since the first cell you picked is outside the pivot table, it allows you turn on Auto Filtering inside the pivot table too.
This is really cool for figuring out things like customers with sales over a particular dollar amount this year or vendors you’ve paid more than $X to.

There’s another [SQL Saturday coming, this time it’s in Jacksonville.](http://www.sqlsaturday.com/) on May 3rd, 2008. If you haven’t been paying attention, SQL Saturday is a great event. It’s a full day of SQL Server related training. No keynotes, just a lot of nitty gritty SQL Server training. Oh, and it’s mostly SQL Server 2005 focused so it’s things you can use today!
It’s completely free. Just register and show up. The Orlando event was terrific. I missed the Tampa event because of family commitments. (I tried to get the kids to skip Sea World and go to SQL Saturday but no luck.) I plan to be at the Jacksonville SQL Saturday event.
So put all this in your calendar, Convergence March 11-14 in Orlando and SQL Saturday May 3 in Jacksonville. Like you need more excuses to come to Florida!

I take no credit for this post, it actually came out of the Dynamics GP Newsgroup. I’ve just cleaned it up a bit. Thanks to [Graham Anderson](http://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/microsoft.public.greatplains/zEQ20mqEjgo/zNOBtMf3rNoJ) for the info.
The Home Page in Dynamics GP 10 provides some great information at a glance but it can be a resource hog in some environments. So how do you disable it?
1) Via the Dynamics GP interface:
– Click Customize this page.
– Uncheck everything.
This doesn’t technically turn it off but since the page isn’t pulling any data it shouldn’t be a resource hog.
2) Turn it off for one user via SQL:
– In Query Analyzer or Management Studio execute
UPDATE DYNAMICS..SY08000 set DISPHP = 0 where USERID = ‘XXX’
change XXX to the appropriate user id.
3) Turn it off for all users via SQL:
– In Query Analyzer or Management Studio execute
UPDATE DYNAMICS..SY08000 set DISPHP = 0

From my friend [Tom Karpowich](http://www.acemicrotech.com/):
*There is a bug in GP 10 when using SQL 2005 & Intercompany. Basically, Intercompany does not work in the calendar year 2008 without the fix. The Dynamics support team has suggested that a hot fix will be released in the near future.*
The error is: DB error 8114 when posting intercompany trx
Tom and the MS team spent a leisurely (not) 5 hours working their way through this so you don’t have to. If this helps you, you owe Tom a drink at Convergence. I’m sorry, that’s just the way the world works.
The [SQL Fix](https://app.box.com/shared/06act4fksc) is a bit big to post here so [I’ll add it as a link](https://app.box.com/shared/06act4fksc) and put a link in the downloads on the right.
As always, apply any code you find here at your own risk. This is not an official MS fix, you’ll have to wait for a hot fix for that.

On a related note, Brian Knight will be at the December 18th [oPASS meeting in Orlando](http://orlando.sqlpass.org) speaking on the “12 days of SSIS”. The event is at the RDV Sportsplex in Maitland and the fam has given me permission to stay out late that night so I’ll be there.

- SQL Saturday Tampa will be 1/12/08
- The facility & organization were phenomenal
- I now understand CASE statements in SQL. Woo Hoo!
- David Eichner of [ICAN Software](http://icancloudapps.com/) did a nice job of explaining econnect and where it fits in the universe of GP integrations. He also tap dances well when his laptop & the projector don’t play well together.
- It was nice to hang out with pro-Microsoft geeks. I get tired of the anti-MS negativity from the Apple & Linux crowds. It seems that love for the blue monster is alive and getting noisy.
- I got the SQL Reporting Services bug again and started playing with it over the weekend. Expect to see some SRS stuff soon.

Um, what else do you need to know. Oh yeah. It’s free! They feed you! The only thing that would make this better is if I didn’t have to give up Saturday. There’s also a little get together at the Bahama Breeze in Altamonte Springs afterwards. So conceivably you could have free SQL training, free food, and booze (alas not free) with geeks, all in one day.
Please don’t email me and tell me that I don’t have a life. I’m well aware of that fact and quite happy about it. oPASS me another drink.

Steve Gray of [4Penny.net](http://www.4penny.net/) gets pointed to quite a bit here. Of course, I’ve stood over Steve’s shoulder and told him what I wanted while he wrote some really complex SQL Stored Procs for Crystal Reports. I also called him to help me write the core of our daily balancing routines. So I have a lot of respect for Steve and his abilities and he’s never hauled off and hit me, despite the fact that I can be a pain. That’s always a plus.
In keeping with what is inadvertently becoming SQL week (month!?!) here at DynamicAccounting.net, Steve has a nice, easy to understand post on SQL Optimization, and links back to a much more complete post on SQL troubleshooting. All I can say is clean up your SQL now, because soon it will be year end time and upgrade time and you don’t want to be worrying about a slow SQL server then! OK, I’m off to look at my SQL server.

May you never have to use this. But… [Builderau.com has step by step instructions](http://www.techrepublic.com/) on how to recover your DB using Transaction Logs. Do us all a favor and test this process with another server before you actually have to use it.

Yeah, I know, there’s been a bunch of SQL Server links here lately but they are relevant to keeping your GP install happy and productive. I’m not famous enough to make news, like say Britney Spears, so you’ll have to settle for me passing news on to you.

While not GP centric, this is fantastic SQL Server 2005 resource including an article titled “[10 Steps to Justify and Plan Your Upgrade](http://searchsqlserver.techtarget.com/tip/SQL-Server-2005-10-steps-to-justify-and-plan-your-upgrade)“.

In fairness, SQL just tends to be more stable than other apps, including the betas I’ve worked with, but this is pretty early in the process so don’t call me if you break stuff!

Put down that sandwich and go do it. You’ll be glad you did. And quit using tape backups. Tape is crap. Backup to a hard drive or other reliable media. I dare you to pull out a tape to restore a crashed GP install without thinking about if your resume’ is updated. Uh, huh. You know I’m right.

It’s important to note that Steve does a ton of work with GP so the scripts here are often GP focused, not just generic SQL stuff. Anybody who names a post “SOP10200 Fields” has a clue about GP.
Steve is the guy who helped me pull together all the scripts we use for daily balancing. In addition to being a SQL witch he’s a genuinely nice guy who giving back some great info to the GP community.
