Microsoft Great Plains Version Update to 10.0 Latest Notes

admin    Misc     10.0, Great, Latest, Microsoft, Notes, Plains, Update, Version

According to Microsoft Dynamics GP technical support, today on November 16, 2007 MBS release Service Pack 1 for GP 10.0, and by doing this ended long lasting GP upgrade path problem: if you were on GP 9.0 higher than SP2, then you had to wait with upgrading to GP version 10.0. In this small article we would like to stress some of the known issues fixed in 10 SP1:

1. IV10200 upgrade freezing. According to MBS technical sources, if you had over several hundred thousand records in this table, the chances were high that upgrade will fail. In our practice we have upgrade example, where number of records in IV10200 is below one hundred thousand, and it was still crashing at this step

2. GP 9.0 to 10.0 upgrade performance issue. From various sources we had the story that upgrade from 9.0 to 10.0 took a way longer than upgrade from 7.0 to 10.0. This issue is fixed in GP 10.0 SP1

3. Security migration 9.0->10.0 failure issue. As you might know if you follow upgrade wizard and select default path for GP 10 workstation installation, security migration should fail. And this is due to the spaces in “Microsoft Dynamics GP” path. In the past what you had to do is supersede default installation path with the one without spaces

4. Upgrade recommendations. If you are on version 9.0, then install GP 10.0 and apply service pack 1 prior to launching GP utilities

5. Security upgrade workaround. In GP 10.0 Security architecture was completely redesigned and now it represents nice tasks and roles. However for you it means that you will have to come through homework and review existing security settings, especially former 9.0 user classes and then base GP security roles on GP modules specific assignment: GL, Project Accounting, Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing, Inventory Control, etc.

Ecommerce Development for Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics Gp 10.0 – Overview

admin    Misc     10.0, Development, Dynamics, Ecommerce, Great, Microsoft, Overview, Plains

Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 is SQL 2005 application, however direct SQL scripting to feed or integrate eCommerce orders or invoices and payments might be complicated, due to rich GP business logic and its required validation in data integration. As eCommerce typically sends sales data to Great Plains Sales Order Processing module, which is really eConnect covered area, we recommend you first research Microsoft Dynamics GP eConnect technology, we will review eConnect in brief in this article below. Direct data feeding via SQL stored procedures is also OK if you try to restrict your integration functionality: do not allocate inventory items in SOP lines, create sales orders rather than invoices (to avoid building up GL distribution in your SQL scripting). Let’s begin:

1. eConnect. This tool and SDK was specially developed for eCommerce programmer, and later on Microsoft Business Solutions advanced eConnect and now it is covering other modules: POP, Payroll, General Ledger, etc. If you dig deeper, you will figure out that the heart of eConnect is set of encrypted SQL stored procedures. These procedures imitate GP Dexterity business logic in creating, deleting, modifying master records and work transactions. eConnect should be preferred tool as it validates Dex business logic and is recommended by MBS for e-commerce developers. If you think that eConnect is not a relevant tool for you, you can go ahead and take SQL querying route

2. SQL. Here you need to be comfortable with your GP SQL tables familiarity. The best tables reference could be found in GP workstation: tools->resource description->tables. Tables are sorted by series, you go to Sales, sort by tables physical name and jump to SOP10100 – this is Sales Header table, it keeps Sales Order, Invoice, Return, Quote document header. The second table will be SOP10200 – this one stores sales document lines: inventory items or non-inventoried items

3. eConnect and Batches posting. GP architecture has several phases of transaction life: work, open and history and among these phases only work transactions could be created in eConnect and be submitted for GP operator approvals. In eCommerce application you often want to post payments against invoice plus you want invoice to be posted and scheduled for delivery. If this is the case, you should research Alba Spectrum Posting Server, which is extension to eConnect and by technology it is Great Plains Dexterity application, appealing to Dex source code – developer places approved GP batches to custom table and posting server calls GP Dexterity native logic to post the batches

4. GP Integration Manager. If the volume of eCommerce transactions is relatively low and you are small organization, you can consider integration e-commerce transactions via IM over night. IM deploys GP as OLE server and so, GP workstation should be running behind the scenes. Some customers report IM performance issues, which is normal scenario for OLE server, where you open and feed data into GP hidden forms and screens.

Microsoft Great Plains 10.0 Integration Options, Part Two

admin    Misc     10.0, Great, Integration, Microsoft, Options, Part, Plains

In the previous article “Microsoft Great Plains Integration Notes” we described standard integrating options and tools: GP Integration Manager, eConnect, SQL Stored Procedures and Dexterity. This is addition to the first article and here we will describe advanced scenarios: EDI (Electronic Document Interchange), combining Dexterity with eConnect to address multiple companies in GP user interface, GP integration with Java based applications

1. EDI. It is often considered by software developers as something very complex, where UNIX world is interchanging vendor records, vendor invoices and purchase orders to replenish company inventory or fulfill the order. However if you look at EDI realization, you will often realize that it is simply fixed width text file or combination of fixed width text fields with encrypted numeric fields, where numeric fields you can process and convert into text with relatively simple character processing programming. If you came to the point where on the input side you have fixed width text fields, what you need to do now is to create SQL insert into script and send records into GP tables. The second option is to get formatted fields via select statement and call eConnect methods to send Vendor Invoice into GP for example. In order to parse fixed width text fields in SQL select statement you should read books online and get answer there.

2. Dexterity and eConnect. GP users like Dexterity customizations, as these customizations are seamlessly integrated into GP user interface and security realm. However GP user interface assumes that you as GP user is logged into specific GP company and do your work in this company: enter invoices, post batches, etc. When you are designing customization with eConnect and Dexterity there is simple opportunity to break through single company. Dexterity allows you to call com objects or dll libraries, in turn com object could be written in .Net C# or VB, where you use ADO.Net constructions to switch SQL Server databases, staying for GP companies. As eConnect interface call is stored procedure, this is simple for programmer to call stored procedure in any database he or she likes. Considering legacy technologies, such as VBA scripting with Dex sanscript codes in and Continuum techniques – extension to switch Great Plains Dynamics modules; switching GP companies was always really difficult to accomplish in your integration, so eConnect, Dexterity and DLL combination seems to be very promising

3. GP and Java integrations. Reliable approach is to open eConnect interface via custom web services, which you can call from your EJB, J2EE, Java or Oracle application. Please note that GP is Microsoft realm and if you deploy non-Microsoft technologies such as DB2, PHP websites typically require technology integration testing

Microsoft Dynamics Gp 10.0 Great Plains Remote Support – Overview

admin    Misc     10.0, Dynamics, Great, Microsoft, Overview, Plains, Remote, Support

Microsoft Great Plains ERP has rich accounting and business processes automation functionality, however in this small article we would like to concentrate on remote support, version upgrade, technical problem solving scenarios and if you need to get info on specific GP modules features: GL, SOP, POP, etc. please find it in others GP related materials, such as module user manuals, whitepapers

1. ERP remote support technologies in general. Web session tools, such as gotomeeting, allow ERP consultants, being remote, lead web presentation, when your users, supposedly sitting in one conference room at your office and watching projected to the wall screen computer monitor. Web session allows consultant to take mouse and keyboard control as well as give it back to trainees

2. Phone conferencing. If you are in the same country, you can typically use your regular office phone and call to conference supporting phone from gotomeeting or other web conferencing service provider. If you are in several countries, the best and cost efficient solutions might be internet telephony, such as skype: if your remote users have skype ID – this is all you need to get everyone in the conference

3. Problem Solving advises. As, regardless of theoretical efficiency of web conferences, your human face-to-face interaction is to some extent restricted, there should be nurtured the culture of well structured technical questioning. For example, try to be very specific: what exactly you were doing, what error message you received (provide screen shots of error messages) – this technique will let technical support engineer to skip “clarification” phase and go down to the problem solving immediately

4. Version upgrade, data fixing remote support technologies. Web session being good for user training, is probably not optimal solution for day-to-day data repair tasks. Web session requires both sides to be in the session, which is not really required for data fixing scenarios – you as GP user, describe the issue and remote support technician will connect to your desktop remotely and will fix the problem when he will have this task to be scheduled by manager. Remote desktop technologies typically include VPN connection and Remote Desktops.

5. Customization Support and Design remotely. Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP has its own proprietary modification technology – Microsoft Dexterity, it can be developed remotely on local testing system, however in order to debug Dex customizations on your test environment, Dexterity installation on your remote connection server is recommended – this will reduce programmers getting-into-project curve

6. Version update hints. GP is currently on version 10.0 and if you are on earlier version: 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0 or 9.0 – you should make your homework on upgrade scenarios. One of the examples would be migration from Pervasive SQL 2000 (former Btrieve) or Ctree/Faircom to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, or 2000

Microsoft Dynamics Gp 10.0 Technical Notes or Under the Hood

admin    Misc     10.0, Dynamics, Hood, Microsoft, Notes, Technical, Under

Nowadays Microsoft Great Plains or any other ERP application should be rather considered as the platform for integration of your peripheral applications: CRM, eCommerce, Custom Sales Order Processing, EDI (Electronic Document Interchange) and others. Plus of-the-shelf available business logic often requires customization, where you got to select appropriate software development tools to do the job. Since the time of Great Plains Software being purchased by Microsoft, Great Plains was under the way of being redesigned to be tightly integrated with .Net and Microsoft Outlook and Office stack of products. Let’s take a look at the GP technical layer:

1. Microsoft Dynamics GP Dexterity architecture. Great Plains Dex was designed to serve as Great Plains Dynamics platform in earlier 1990th, when similar approaches were taken by SAP – ABAP and Navision – C/SIDE. Dexterity is in turn written in C++ programming language. To give you Dex architecture surface signs: DYNAMICS.DIC, DEX.INI files, DEX_ROW_ID that you see in each GP table. If you plan to use Dexterity for customization, then you need to locate Dex developer, especially the one who has access to Dexterity source code

2. eConnect. This SDK was specially created for e-commerce developers to enable GP backoffice integration for eCommerce web sites. Since the initial version back in earlier 2000th, eConnect covered more GP modules and business objects: SOP, POP, Project Accounting, General Ledger, Receivable Management, Payables Management modules. The core of eConnect are encrypted SQL stored procedures

3. GP Integration Manager. If you review GP IM 10.0, you will see that IM connectors are now available in most of the business logic cases in eConnect. EConnect connectors drastically improve IM performance and doesn’t require GP workstation running on the same computer (old IM connectors were using GP workstation as OLE server)

4. SQL Scripting and Stored Procedures. If performance is the imperative, then you should consider SQL scripting, which will allow you to create primitive business logic, where you don’t need complete business logic validation, made by eConnect. Also stored procedures will allow you to utilize aggregations in SQL, versus SQL cursors, deployed in eConnect

Microsoft Great Plains 10.0 and 9.0 Upgrade – Technical Notes

admin    Misc     10.0, Great, Microsoft, Notes, Plains, Technical, Upgrade

At this time (fall of 2007) Microsoft Dynamics GP customers are actively upgrading to GP version 9.0 and initial upgrades are performed to Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0. Version 10.0 will be in more active upgrade mode, when Microsoft will release GP 10.0 Service Pack 1, as current GP 10.0 upgrade path is limited to 8.0 SP5 and 9.0 SP2. Having reasonable number of GP version updates performed, we would like to share experience. Lets’ start with the most popular upgrade to 9.0.

1. As versions 8.0, 7.5, 6.0, and earlier are discontinued for Microsoft Dynamics technical support, you should consider this bell as strong signal to walk away from these older versions. Versions 7.5 and older were available on MS SQL Server as well as on Pervasive SQL 2000 (former Btrieve) and Ctree. In the case when you are on non-MS SQL Server DB – you will have to undergo migration step to SQL Server based version. Assuming that your case is straight forward, let’s move on and review known version upgrade issues

2. Purchase Order Processing tables problems. If you are using POP module, then you must check you Purchase Orders and Receipts work and historical tables on the subject of so-called orphan lines. These tables should be verified: POP10110, POP10310, POP30110 and POP30310 – they store purchase orders and receipts lines. Microsoft recommends doing checklinks, prior to upgrade process, however we saw situations, where potentially check links don’t do all the orphans cleaning job. If check links doesn’t help, please construct the script which will give you orphans in lines table, similar to the following: select a.* from POP10110 a left join POP10100 b on a.PONUMBER=b.PONUMBER where b.PONUMBER is null. And again, prior to rescuing to scripting, you should try check links approach.

3. If after check links, upgrade failed on POP tables, you will have to restore DYNAMICS and all Companies DB to initial version and try data repair with scripting. Then design delete scripts with your DBA person. Microsoft partner should be able to apply failed company rolling back script, so you do not have to start from initial version for all the databases, however this script is confidential.

4. Other potentially problem tables. We’ve also seen the problem with IV10200 table. In version 9.0 inventory valuation formula was revised and it now relies on IV10200 to higher extent. In some cases this table conversion script fails and upgrading application freezes. The remedy is roll back to initial version, be sure that you did check links

Great Plains Version 10.0: Advancing Microsoft Dynamics Gp Integration With Office & Vista

admin    Misc     10.0, Advancing, Dynamics, Great, Integration, Microsoft, Office, Plains, Version, Vista

If you have just implemented Microsoft Great Plains 10.0, you probably got it as something coming naturally with the ERP product. For users, who are familiar and using Great Plains since earlier versions, such as 6.0, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0 and even 9.0 – change in user interface is visible and probably significant. If you are using newest version of Microsoft Office 2007 or Vista OS – then you can recognize GP interface similarities, when for old version user learning curve is expected. Let’s take a look at some examples:

1. Forward & Backward buttons. Look at Home, Financial, Purchasing, Sales series on the left side of the navigation pane – if you click on one of those then Backward button will become available to go back. These are Vista and MS Office 2007 features and looks like Microsoft is deploying similar design in Microsoft Dynamics family of MRP products

2. No Toolbar, only drop down menus. Old good days Great Plains had concept of Toolbar, which was just below menu line. Versions 10,0 and 9.0 do not have it anymore and you will use drop down menu instead

3. Challenge for GP Dexterity programmer. If you are Microsoft Dexterity programmer, this might mean nightmare for you to imitate GP 10.0 graphical interface, however you always have the alternative to appeal to old GP interface without modern graphic to give your GP users workable custom logic. You should also imagine how much work was done by Microsoft Business Solutions Dexterity Development and GP new version creation team to make these changes happen

4. Microsoft Outlook plug-in. It might be something raising questions – why do we need Outlook to be incorporated in GP interface directly as we could have it with our Workstations? Seriously, we expect real work around to be considered when you deploy Citrix server or servers farm, where MS Office plug-in is probably not overly desirable

5. GP Reporting. If you are using old-good-days SOP blank invoice form to print our your sales invoices, you can relax and feel comfortable as RerpotWriter Dex reports are still and so far and maybe longer there and available. Besides Report Writer, you should get the trend that custom reports might be created in Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services or SRS module

6. Upgrading to GP 10.0 or currently latest version as of January 2008. If you are on GP 8.0 or 9.0, you should apply GP 10.0 Service Pack 1, released in mid-November 2007, prior to launching Great Plains Utilities to do upgrade work

7. GP 10.0 new security model. Security was redesigned from scratch in 10.0 and it is not compatible with earlier versions, including 9.0. If you plan to upgrade GP from earlier versions you should consider security rights reimplementation, and as temporary solution you could rely on security migration procedure. Known issue here – you should eliminate spaces from the location of GP 10.0 workstation directory

Microsoft Great Plains Integration Manager 10.0 Technical Notes

admin    Misc     10.0, Great, Integration, Manager, Microsoft, Notes, Plains, Technical

Microsoft Dynamics GP version 10.0 advanced such new technologies as eConnect in and this seems to be general trend to walk away from proprietary tools, such as Microsoft Dexterity to Microsoft specific platforms, such as .Net, COM+ and MS SQL Server Stored Procedures, as you know eConnect core contains encrypted stored procs. Historically Great Plains IM was based on OLE technology, where GP workstation was used as OLE server and business logic validation was done in GP forms, where OLE mechanism was entering fields values. Let’s take a look at new and traditional features available in IM version 10.0, it is in our opinion in transition to be rewritten completely in eConnect, but at this time it is available with both traditional and eConnect connectors:

1. eConnect connector. For GP consultants, you should be aware that eConnect connector requires specific company, if you remember how OLE connector works – it recognizes the company, from where you call Integration Manager and so you do not need to specify the company in integration settings. eConnect requires the company target to be specified. eConnect integration performance should be higher comparing to traditional connector, as eConnect doesn’t use slow OLE technology and imitates business logic (or in other words it replicates Dexterity functionality) in SQL stored procedures (which are performed on the server). Typical GP integrations involve Sales Order Processing module (this includes eCommerce scenarios) as well as Purchase Order Processing module (where you integrate EDI vendor invoices, for example) and at this time, GP IM 10.0 eConnect connector enables these integrations, which is very optimistic note

2. IM upgrade. Typical scenarios are when you are upgrading skipping two versions, let’s say from GP IM 7.5 to 10.0. In this scenario you need to do two steps upgrade – first to GP IM 9.0 and then to 10.0

3. VBA programming for Integration Manager. This technology may seem outdated as VBA was popular in late 1990th to automate MS Excel and MS Access type of scenarios. However VBA and Modifier modules are still available with Microsoft Dynamics GP purchase or upgrade. VBA scripting is event driven one, so you should review the options to alter IM business logic on pre and post integration, pre and post document. This article format is short and we can not give you sample VBA scripts here, however if you have development budget and would like to get advanced technical and programming help, we would be happy to assist you

4. GP IM advanced techniques. Translation technology. Each field is available for translation logic. You can load Excel translation table to IM directly. Translation logic allows you to map external item number id to your internal one, or in collection agency example it allows you to translate vendor it to customer id, as collection business is reversed one, where sales means collection

5. IM in cross platform integrations, here we need to stress ODBC standard and advanced integrations. Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005 linked server construction allows you to deploy either direct SQL select statement or OPENROWSET one. Now is you are coming from Oracle and Oracle EBusiness Suite world, similar integration concept is available from Oracle EDI. If you are on Linux Red Hut and PHP and MySQL, please consider ODBC bridge or appeal to Java technology. If you PHP is sitting on MS Windows platform you can deploy direct call to MS SQL Server 2005 or 2000

6. GP data conversion and Integration Manager. Legacy data massage, conversion, is available and IM usage is very helpful. Microsoft Dynamics GP offers IM installation or initial migration license, which is limited to the number of days

7. The most popular Integration Tables in Great Plains: SOP10100, SOP10200, RM00101, RM00102

8. Integration Manager and Great Plains Dexterity connections: DEX_ROW_ID is one of the most popular questions among the developers community. If you do direct SQL insert statement feed into GP tables, DEX_ROW_ID is outoincremental and so you don’t need to populate it

9. GP and MS CRM connector. It is outside of GP IM, so please do not be confused. MS CRM connection business is pretty much taken over by Scribe Software, so please check with these folks first. Also, SAP Business One is very popular small business ERP and MRP (Manufacturing module and extensions) platform, where you can have Microsoft CRM to be integrated. From Microsoft Dynamics CRM side you can use SQL views and stored procedures to store exported data in the custom database, and from SB1 side you use Sap B1 SDK to program SB1 integrated objects: Sales Orders or Sales Invoices

10. XML Web Service Approach. As XML is in essence text, it is the platform independent data (or text files) stream. To open Web Service to UNIX client, from GP side you typically involve C3 or VB.Net developer

11. IM closing remarks. Great Plains Integration Manager is both end user and developer friendly tool. If you are VBA or Microsoft.Net programmer you should be able to build sound integration on IM platform. eConnect will more likely be the main IM transformation technology, so if you are deploying IM integrating techniques, you should follow eConnect news

Microsoft Dynamics Gp 10.0 Customization Scenarios

admin    Misc     10.0, Customization, Dynamics, Microsoft, Scenarios

Microsoft Great Plains version 10.0 has a lot of new features, including changes in architecture and especially user interface. These new features dictate change in GP 10.0 programming and custom development. If you are using Great Plains since earlier versions: 9.0, 8.0, 7.5, 7.0, 6.0, 5.5 or 5.0 and your company ERP deploys tailored Great Plains business logic, chances are high that customized logic was programmed in Great Plains Dexterity. Let’s begin with Dex modifications overview for GP version 10.0:

1. Microsoft Dexterity 10.0. Surprisingly enough, but Dex is still similar to its old versions, however if you are Dexterity programmer you have to adapt your Dex code to new interface features: icons, color schema, etc. Here we suggest, that at this time there is no need to imitate Microsoft Vista and Office interface compliance: drop down menus, navigation arrows. Historical excurse to Dexterity – this IDE is written in C programming language, theoretically allowing you to resolve Operating System and DB platform dependence; when Microsoft acquired Great Plains Software, non-Microsoft platforms, such as Pervasive SQL and Ctree were abandoned and Microsoft Business Solutions decided to concentrate on MS SQL Server platform only – for Dex Microsoft suggested advanced MS SQL Server Stored Procedures support – obviously DB platform independence paradigm is no longer feasible. Maybe this Dex excurse seems non relevant to you, however if you plan to customize GP for your organization, you have to know the architecture and Dexterity platform

2. eCommerce for Microsoft Dynamics GP. E-Commerce is becoming one of the most popular modification routines. Here Dex comes to the secondary plan and new integration tool Great Plains eConnect comes on the first scenes. eConnect replicates GP Dex logic in SQL Stored Procedures and by doing so it boosts integration performance, however eConnect still has to validate GP business logic and in most of the cases it uses SQL cursors to replicate Dex cursors. Cursors are obviously very powerful in manipulating GP objects, but they are not optimal in performance, especially if you compare cursors with aggregated SQL select and insert statements. Another eCommerce dilemma is GP batches automatic posting – eConnect, which is bound by Dex architecture restrictions doesn’t allow batch posting; in order to post GP batches from eCommerce application you will need to deploy Albaspectrum posting server

3. VBA/Modifier. GP Modifier is at this time legacy modification technology. Modifier allows you to place extra fields and buttons to GP screens and VBA fills them with the logic

4. GP programming for Microsoft Visual Studio developer. If you are C# or VB.Net programmer, you should invest your time in eConnect research; eConnect has multiple interfaces – all of them are coming back to call eConnect encrypted SQL stored procedures
