New Site for Microsoft Dynamics GP Product Suggestions

It took a little while after the old Microsoft Connect site for Microsoft Dynamics GP product suggestions was shut down, but the new site has been up and running for a little while and is getting lots of great suggestions added.

I recommend signing in and reviewing the existing suggestions and even adding some of your own ideas (if they are not there already). The Microsoft Dynamics GP development team use these suggestions when deciding on future enhancements to the product.

The future of Microsoft Dynamics GP …. again!

It has been just over a year since the last time this old chestnut was raised by someone in the community.

This time the question of Microsoft Dynamics GP’s future has been raised by Mark Brummel, who was a Microsoft MVP (Business Solutions) for the Microsoft Dynamics NAV product, and is based in the Netherlands.

Adding to this week’s series on customising the Payables Transaction Entry window using GP Power Tools, I thought it would be interesting to show some variants of the trigger script using less and less of the built in GP Power Tools features.

The idea is to show how the helper functions simplify your code.

Finishing this week’s series on customising the Payables Transaction Entry window using GP Power Tools, today we update the Trigger script and make everything work.

The final step is to update the Trigger script to perform the desired actions to check the last transaction date and open the Vendor Address Inquiry window.

Following on from yesterday’s article: #GPPT How to improve Dynamics GP with a little bit of GP Power Tools – Part 1, let’s look at how this can be achieved using GP Power Tools.

I will be using the very latest GP Power Tools Build 23, Last Modified: 17-Mar-2018 Hotfix release as this includes new Helper Functions to make the use of parameters in scripts called programmatically much simpler to use.

I recently saw a post by my friend, Steve Endow, where he used a small Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) script to improve Microsoft Dynamics GP functionality.

So, I thought it would be worth showing how the same customisation can be achieved using GP Power Tools and its Developer Tools module, and explain the benefits of this approach over its VBA equivalent.
