Mark Polino’s Weekly MS Connect Suggestion – Auto Deposit of Cash Receipts in Bank

Microsoft Dynamics GPContinuing Mark Polino’s weekly DynamicAccounting.net series of posts recommending an MS Connect suggestion.

This weeks is a vote on adding an option to allow bank deposits to be automatically posted in Bank Reconciliation; this would be of great benefit if you’re receiving lots of individual payments hitting your bank account such as standing orders or BACS transfers which at present requires someone to post each one manually.

SSRS GL Trial Balance Returning No Data

Microsoft Dynamics GPI was doing some testing to compare the SSRS Trial Balance against the standard report version but ran into a problem straight away when I found the SSRS version returned no data.

A quick search online found me this post SSRS: GL Trial Balance Summary report returns no data – Follow Up by Mariano Gomez where he discussed the exact problem I had encountered.

As Mariano says this has been fixed in the upcoming SP3 but for now there is a Knowledge Base article covering a workaround which is to alter the stored procedure (seeglPrintSRSTrialBalance) which is used for returning the data: GL Trial Balance SRS Reports return no data using Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Error Starting Microsoft Dynamics GP After Installing PSTL

Microsoft Dynamics GPI’m taking a slight detour away from posting the series of how to’s on the Professional Services Tools Library to highlight an installation error that I’ve recently seen when installing PSTL.

A client recently installed PSTL and reported receiving the below error message;

Microsoft Dynamics GP - A Get/Change Operation on Table 'gpAppEnabled' cannot find the table

I’d sent them the PSTL download along with the instructions on how to install it without realising that there was a missing part to me instructions (which has now been added).

When installing PSTL into a company for the first time, you must log into Microsoft Dynamics GP as the sa user as there are some tables which get created (covered in KB Article 861564 which is actually a retired article but does mention the issue and the resolution).
