Tips, Tricks & Thoughts on Microsoft Dynamics GP

A client recently had an issue with their nightly eConnect integrations, getting an error about the username and password.
This integration had been live for nearly 2 years, running every night, and running without issue - or at least without this kind of issue. In other words, fairly stable. They also never touch the service accounts, so the thought that the password might have been changed was nearly impossible.

This is short and sweet - as I don't usually post "sales" types of things and don't intend to start now!
It's somewhat of a tale of two client scenarios, and advice to those who hear certain things from their clients, and are in a position to recommend license options.

Friday, March 29, 2013 Canadian Payroll, Troubleshooting
A couple of years ago around this time of year, I got a call from a client of mine with a strange error in Canadian Payroll. At the time, I ran into other significant issues in trying to help with said error, and at the time, I blogged/ranted about it here.
Fast forward to last month, when I received an email from another customer who was asking me "did you ever find out what the issue was with that error? We are having the same problem now!". We exchanged emails and I researched what notes I had taken at the time, and in the end, she confirmed for me that what worked for my client also worked for her.
So, this post is just an update on the issue and at least one resolution, in case it helps someone else out there. Some of this is a repeat of the rant blog, without the rant!

It's that time of year again - time for a review of 2012 and noting what to resolve to do in 2013.
I say this every year - time flew by! As my dad just told me, it seems to fly by faster the older you get. It certainly does! Today is December 31st and my sister & I are visiting my dad and his wife, and loving the few relaxing days away from home. Along with relaxing with family, this is my favourite, if not humbling, part of the new year process: reviewing what I said I would do this year!

This is a short post... a bizarre issue that I can't find an answer to.
A client has a bunch of inactive GL accounts and for a project, wants to re-active them to do some re-allocations and then inactive them again. Simple right?
I set up a simple Integration Manager integration for them, and set the "Inactive" field to "Use Input". In other words, let the user decide if they are inactivating or re-activating the accounts. Better than changing the integration, right?

I've been using Windows 8 now on my new laptop for about a couple of weeks. I *love* it! What baffles me is the sheer volume of blogs and articles I run into that are crapping all over this new operating system... it's hilarious really. "How to make windows 8 look like windows 7"?? Are you serious? Why bother upgrading if you're going to do that?

Time has flown by, as it does tend to do when you are not paying attention! One minute I'm in Fargo, dropping a perfectly functioning laptop on a hard tile floor (yes, boy, that was fun!), and the next, it's nearly Christmas and I'm loading Windows 8 on a even more perfectly functioning new laptop. It's wrapped in bubble wrap to protect it from myself, just so ya know... ; )
When the Windows 8 previews and betas came out, I fully intended to install them on a virtual image or something, and get to know the new features. So much for that! The, ahem, fortunate timing of dropping a laptop and having my other functional Dell brick fail to boot led me to a just-in-time-for-Christmas new shiny laptop. While my American friends were eating Thanksgiving turkey, I was doing some timely Black Friday shopping. It seems Canadian retailers have adopted the sale weekend much to our price advantage!
I ordered another trusty Lenovo, my third one. Even though my first one died, I got a ton out of it and took it everywhere. My last one - which I dropped - actually still kind of worked even after dropping it on a tile floor. Dented, yes, but busted, no! I think I dented some internal things though as there were several issues with all the ports on one side not working all the time etc., and Black Friday came calling to rescue me from frustration.
