In the applet, find Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 and click the Change button:

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.

The series index for this series of posts is here.

This delayed Feature of the Day (I think I missed the official post when it was posted) is One Payment Per Vendor/Invoice Setting on the Vendor Card which allows the user to decide, on a per vendor basis, if one payment should be produced per vendor or invoice:

With the eConnect Service configured, the next step is to configure the Incoming Queue.

This configuration change is done in the eConnect_Incoming.exe.config file which is located, by default, in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\eConnect 18.0\Service\Incoming Service:

With eConnect installed on the server, there are a couple of pieces of configuration which need to be done. The first is covered in this blog post, and that is the configuration of the eConnect Service.

Perfect Image maintain and support a Dexterity Extension written by a company which is no longer a Microsoft Dynamics partner; this customisation receives transactions via eConnect from an external line of business system. The default configuration results in timeouts if the eConnect service isn’t configured to receive large messages; which basically means adding the following to the Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect.Service.exe.config file:

receiveTimeout="infinite"

To add this element to the bindings node of the configuration file, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the file in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\eConnect 18.0\Service.

Stop and restart the eConnect service to ensure the change is picked up.
