Microsoft have started the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Feature of the Day on the Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP Blog.
The first feature they’ve announced has been a long time coming. A regular question I’ve been asked by clients when implementing the Inventory Control module is how a reason can be assigned to the adjustment or variance and the best that could previously be done was to use part of the Batch ID.

Well, I’m just back from the Prometric test centre with an updated Microsoft Dynamics GP certification. I gained the Microsoft Dynamics GP 10 Installation & Configuration certification a few years back and, as it was about to expire, I’ve just been and passed the GP 2010 replacement.
The new one is MB3-861 Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Installation & Configuration.
Microsoft have just announced the availability of the Consumer Preview of Microsoft Office which delivers Office as a cloud service using all the innovations of Windows 8.
Okay, that sounds like a press release because it is; it was quoted from Microsoft’s press release. The Consumer Preview is available here and offers lots of new functionality and integration with Windows 8.
Full details of the new features are here but there is no news on the eventual pricing. I am a little suspicious of pricing with the tie-in to the cloud and especially the Sky Drive service.
I’ve signed up and will be taking a look first thing tomorrow morning when I get to work (probably badly timed as the second thing I have tomorrow is a Microsoft Dynamics GP exam.

One of the points I make (repeatedly until I see a confirmation they’ve done so) to clients when implementing Microsoft Dynamics GP is that they need to make sure that a maintenance backup of the SQL databases and other resources are being made.
In some cases the maintenance backup is a once a night job, other clients have had one done every twelve hours with log backups made every hour. As long as a regular backup is being made I’m happy and stop nagging them.

Continuing Mark Polino’s weekly This weeks is a vote on making the chequebook ID a cash receipt is for visible on the enquiry window.
If you’d be interested in seeing this change made, please go to Connect and vote.
I’ve just added a mobile theme to the site which will display the first time you visit the site on a smart phone; if you want the normal desktop theme then you can scroll right down to the bottom of the page and disable it.
If you notice any problems with the theme let me know and I’ll see about fixing it (I won’t see the problem myself as I don’t have a smart phone so if you see an issue please let me know).
In this post I discussed renaming the FRx menu option in Microsoft Dynamics GP to show the name Management Reporter. One thing I didn’t cover, and which Susan Conrod reminded me of in the comments, is how to change the menu option so that it does actually open Management Reporter.
If you have not previously used the FRx mneu option on a client, then clicking the, FRx, or Management Reporter as it will be after you have renamed it, menu option in Microsoft Dynamics GP () you will be presented with this window where you can select the application to be started;

I recently got a call to help one of the Business Development Managers with the installation of Microsoft Dynamics GP on his laptop as he was getting an unknown error. Literally an unknown error according to the error message;
