Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 is scheduled to be released at the end of 2012. The new release includes a new pricing model called Perpetual Licensing. Clients will be offered a Starter Pack and an Extended Pack - no more BRL Advanced Mgmt or BRL Business Essentials.

This feature provides users with the ability to back out depreciation for all, or a group, of assets. The system currently has the functionality to reverse depreciation one asset at a time, which can be time consuming when the need arises to back out depreciation for a large number of assets.

By default in Dynamics GP, if you type your password wrong 3 times GP closes. This setting can be controlled in the Dex.ini file.

The setting is:
SQLNumLoginTries = number

The default is 3, setting this to -1 allows an unlimited number of tries. This doesn't change any SQL based lockout parameters, it simply keeps GP from closing after 3 tries.

Ever wonder why no matter what parameters are used, no documents are presented for write off in Write Off Documents (Sales>>Routines>>Write Off Documents). On the Customer Card, under the Options button, if Maximum Writeoff is set to zero, you won't be able to write off documents for this customer.

Have you tried to find a good report to view your security and just aren't able to get it the ways you want without just running SQL scripts such as the ones in the "Frequently asked questions about role-based security in Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 and Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010" KB?

Well, the wait is over if you have SmartList Builder registered in your system.

If you've entered a PO in GP, you've probably noticed the Buyer ID field. In most cases, companies use this field to identify the GP user who is responsible for the PO. Did you know however that the buyer does not have to be a GP user? It's true! Buyer ID's can be set up to represent any logical grouping attribute.

One of the cooler tools in the now free Professional Services Tools Library is the 1099 Modifier. The common scenario is that a vendor was not properly setup as a 1099 vendor and now there are transactions no marked as 1099 transactions.

The 1099 Modifier tool allows you to fix this by updating vendor 1099 amounts after setting the vendor 1099 flag.

Success just doesn't happen overnight. It takes planning and determination to make it to the finish line. Short and long term goals are important to define for your business, but they don't do any good if you aren't monitoring your progress.

I had this issue on my own Windows 7 computer as well as a few customers calling to report this issue. After some research I found some blogs from Patrick Roth as well as David Musgrave from Microsoft on this issue and there is a setting that can be added so that GP retains the Scrolling Window Maximum size.
