MDGP 2018 RTM Feature of the Day: One Payment Per Vendor/Invoice Setting on Vendor Card
The Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog has started a series Feature of the Day posts for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 RTM; as the most recent versions have been, these posts are in the form of PowerPoint slides; I am reposting them here so they can be read more easily as well as adding my won commentary.

Hands On With MDGP 2018 RTM: eConnect Incoming Queue Bug Fixed

There was a bug in the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 and 2016 versions of eConnect whereby the Integration Service was unable to process messages from the Incoming Queue.
I’ve done some testing of this in eConnect for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018, and I’m delighted to confirm that the bug has now been fixed. This is great news as it means we will no longer need to be installing the Incoming queue for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2.
My colleague, Laura Bowie, has also informed me that the year end updates for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 and 2016 has also seen this bug fixed.
