You might be aware of the new Security requirements for Bank Account Numbers which applies to ACH Originators and Third-Parties with more than 2 million ACH payments annually and becomes effective on 30-Jun-2022.
NACHA, the governing body for ACH transactions in the United States, is rolling out updated security requirements which are actually best practice whether you meet the transaction level targets or not.
Read on for how you handle the requirements on your Microsoft Dynamics GP system.
The latest installation DynamicsCon virtual conference started yesterday. The conference is running from 15th to 17th March 2022.
While I am not presenting a session this time around, I will be hosting the Dynamics GP Watch Party Breakout Room on Wednesday and Thursday from 10am to 12pm ET on both days.
Back in October when Microsoft Dynamics GP 18.4 (October 2021) was first released, a problem was identified that affected Australian customers. This was discussed in the article:
This previous crashing issue was caused by a version mismatch on the Visual Studio Tools Addin DLL that provides the ABN (Australian Business Number) Lookup via a webservice to the ABR (Australian Business Register).

With the release of Microsoft Windows 11, the hardware requirements for supported PCs took a jump from previous versions of Windows.
In particular, the requirement for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 and a modern 64 bit CPU have caused a number of machines to not be eligible/supported to run Windows 11.
In my previous article: #MSDynGP Microsoft Dynamics GP and SMTP Email Failing, I mentioned that it was possible to check and/or change settings for your Exchange Online client.
There are a number of settings which can only be changed using PowerShell as they don’t have any user interface options available. However, many of the articles that provide the details on the settings never say how to actually get PowerShell working to use the settings.
This is where this article comes in …..
Over the last month or so many users have been reporting intermittent issues with sending emails failing with SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) authentication failures.
The issue occurs when using Microsoft’s Exchange Online (part of the Microsoft 365 suite) as the email service. It is caused by Microsoft’s policies to improve authentication security for the Exchange Online service.
The next installment of DynamicsCon conference is scheduled for 15th to 17th March 2022. The session submission period is over and now we enter the session voting period until 19th January 2022.
During this voting period all registered attendees have 12 votes to apply to sessions as they wish, then the votes will be tallied and the final session lists published. See this explanation for more details of the process.
This is just a quick post to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The last couple of years have been hard times for all and I am looking forward to better times to come.
This is my video presentation of the Top 5 Reasons to upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics GP 18.4 from the Microsoft Dynamics GP General Session at Community Summit 2021 conference in Houston, Texas, USA which was shown on Wednesday 13th October 2021.
A couple of Australian partner consultants have contacted me today and yesterday about an issue with the Microsoft Dynamics GP Version 18.4 release.
After installing with selecting the country of Australia, it will fail to launch GP application generating an “An error occurred while loading or initializing an addin” Error.
[Edit] There is a new related issue with missing functionality with the March 2022 hotfix release, see
Awesome News.
This morning (Perth Time) I had an email from Terry Heley from Microsoft with a link to a pre-release (very early alpha) of the upcoming Microsoft Dynamics GP version 18.4 (October 2021) release. This download is provided to the ISV community to help them prepare for the final code when it is released.

Over the last few weeks I have been chatting with Terry Heley on the Microsoft Dynamics GP Support team. She was been working really hard on getting the Lifecycle information for Microsoft Dynamics GP updated to reflect Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to the Dynamics GP product.
Regardless of of the sales hype and disinformation you might hear from other sources who want to spread FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt), Microsoft Dynamics GP is not going away any time soon and the product lifecycle information has been updated to show this.
With the release of the GP Power Tools build 28.6 hotfix, a couple of sites have reported that GP Power Tools says it is not registered and then causes Microsoft Dynamics GP to crash if you attempt to open the registration window.
[Edit] This issue is resolved permanently with the GP Power Tools build 28.7 hotfix.
The cause of the issue has been identified and a simple solution is available. We are working with the 3rd party developers involved to prevent the situation occurring in future.
The DynamicsCon 2021 Virtual Conference starts today (it is already Tuesday for me in Perth, Australia). The free three day conference runs from Tuesday 16th March to Thursday 18th March 2021 (USEST).
Make sure you are registered for the conference and also planning to attend my “Leveraging GP Power Tools as a Consultant” session on Thursday 18th March at 11:00 am (USEST).
Over the last week, there has been a Microsoft security update released via Windows Update which is causing graphics on Microsoft Dynamics GP Report Writer reports to show as black boxes.
The Microsoft Dynamics GP support team is aware of the issue and is working to find a resolution. The current work around is to roll back the Windows Updates that caused the issue and pause updates to prevent them from being installed again.
[Edit] 20-Mar-2021: The Windows team have released a fix for this issue, it look’s like it needs to be installed manually. Please see the updates on both the articles from the Dynamics GP Support team and from Beat Bucher (links below).
The Dynamics User Group, the team behind DynamicsCon, are making a huge effort to bring the Microsoft Dynamics GP community into their fold.
Not only is there Dynamics GP content in the DynamicsCon conference coming up on March 16-21 2021, including a session presented by yours truly on GP Power Tools, but now there is a Dynamics GP section and GP forums active on their site.
This article is to close the loop after the previous articles: PayPal Guest Credit Card payments still not working and Update: PayPal Guest Credit Card payments still not working.
I have received confirmation that the Guest Credit Card payment option will no longer be available as an option to pay PayPal Invoices due to Australian Government Legislation. You can still pay with credit card, you just need to login first.
