MVP Belinda Allen has posted a suggestion to MS Connect asking Microsoft to add a bar code field to Item Maintenance, Item Transaction Inquiry and Stock Count Entry.
I think this would be a good additin, so please take a look and cast your vote.

In the last post I mentioned that I create scripts when implementing Microsoft Dynamics GP and then make them available to clients when they would be of benefit. The last script I posted, allowed calendars to ve copied from one database to another. Afetr writing that scirpt I then adapted it by wrapping a cursor around it which allowed a source database to be defined and the calendar copied to all other databases.
The original script is still useful as it allows a targeted copying of calendars from a source to a destination database, but the new allows calendars to be quickly replicated across all companies if they share the same financial year.
The script has two parameters (highlighted) at the top which need to be set:
I have a bit of catching up to do on writing posts, but to start the year off I am back to some SQL scripts. As I have mentioned before I have a number of clients with multiple, and in some cases well over 100, companies in Microsoft Dynamics GP.
I do try to make life easier for them when possible so have been sharing a number of scripts I have for implementing systems. One such script is one which will copy financial (fiscal) calendars from one database to another.
There are three parameters at the top which need to be set before running the script:
These parameters are highlighted below:

The calendar will only be copied if the destination database does not contain a calendar with the same name.
