Reinstall on a different machine?

Jon Burk — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 23:42:39 GMT

We just got all new computers here and I need to reinstall POS to the new ones, but its telling me I've reached my limit on the number of computers I'm allowed to install them on. How do I "deactivate" the old computers to allow me to reinstall on the new? I don't have a service contract or anything. Is this something I need to purchase to accomplish?

How do you un-allocate items in SOP

How do I un-allocate items in SOP of GP 10?

I'm not using anything fancy, just the stock-standard SOP module. My order is setup to allocate & fulfill by document/batch but I need to be able to un-allocate items from an order without update the Order qty to zero.

Any bright ideas out there please?

DOC 1 ERROR: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Procedure or function
'taAnalyticsDistribution' expects parameter '@I_vDOCNMBR', which was

However, when i add the journal number as part of the mapping, integration was successful.

Does this means that Integrating Transaction with Analytical Accounting can only work with a unique document number set?

NAV Database gets locked on shutdown

TimParrott — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 07:23:12 GMT

I am a registered Microsoft Partner and have downloaded the Dynamics NAV 2009 demo. I have this installed on Windows Server 2003R2 on a machine with multiple operating systems. When I shut the machine down and then restart it, the Nav database gets irretrievably locked. It returns a message saying that it the database is in use by another process or user and will not allow any changes or connections in the File Explorer, Navision or SQL Server Management Studio.

My only solution is to start the server in Windows XP delete the database files and then re-install the demo database from the disc.

My question is what services do I need to stop and in what order prior to shut down to get the process or user to release the demonstration database? I do not want to leave my server running all the time!

Any help or advice would be gratefully accepted.

How to import/export csv files in the RTC

maris — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:04:26 GMT

Can anyone explain how to import/export csv files in the RTC?

Well, first of all I am just trying with a very simple exsample for exercise.

I have created XMLport based on "Post Code" table, and I need I to work both ways(import/export).

The XMLport should export/import data as csv file.

I have changed the Format property to "Variable Text" and when I run the XMLport data is exported in XML format.

I don't know how to make the XMLport to act as dataport.

Do I have to change some other properties or add some code to XMLport?

I was searching the web for an example or an explanation on this, but could find anything.

Would you be kind enough to explain me what I am doing wrong or maybe give an example.

CRM 4 Update Rollup 5

Anonymous — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:40:00 GMT

As several others have announced, CRM 4 Update Rollup 5 has been released. There are a couple of notable points to make:

As with update rollups 3 and 4, the majority of the fixes have not been previously released as an individual hotfix. This is different from rollups 1 and 2, which were mostly a collection of previously released fixes. In general, I think that having fewer individually released fixes is a positive thing, but that has to be traded off against the frequency of rollups (currently about every 6 to 8 weeks), which is difficult to keep up with. Across our customers, we have deployments covering 5 different rollup levels, plus some customers on CRM 3, which needs a fair bit of management, especially with regard to schema compatibility
So, schema compatibility. Apparently, UR5 schemas cannot be imported into versions prior to UR2, but also, pre-UR2 schemas cannot be imported into UR5. I've got some investigation to do on this, but the most important factor for me is being able to use one development environment that can be used to export (and import if necessary) schemas to all rollup versions of CRM 4. Up to now I've rarely applied rollups to development environments, but it looks like from now on, UR2 will be a minimum requirement for a development environment. Either way, it makes life harder than it should be.

No Independence Day for most of IT or Customer Service

Anonymous — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:21:14 GMT

My last blog brought out the brickbats from IT professionals who, to a person, said, “Hey, don’t blame us: we’re powerless.” Funny enough, I took that point of view when I wrote the piece the first time. Then I thought of the calumy that would be heaped upon my poor head. Dare I say IT is powerless? That it lacks authority? That it is not tied to business decision makers? Yikes, not me. Yet when the comments started flowing in like a malignant red tide of phytoplankton on a Florida shore, I saw that my original tack was the right one. Of course we were only doing our jobs in identifying the analytical systems, and then deploying them. But the actual business itself isn’t in our hands, and we don’t really have a say. The business leaders are the source of power, and we are their foot soldiers.

I’ve been experiencing that a lot while moving into a new home and area. The simplest act of changing telephone numbers has unleashed a barrage of telemarketers because my 31 days of waiting for the National Do Not Call Registry hasn’t kicked in. I have telemarketers asking me who I am. I am polite and say, “umm, you called me: who am I?” And then they ask, “Do you have an account with AmeriCredit?” To which I ask, “What’s an AmeriCredit?” This plays out for newspaper subscriptions, oil heating, carpentry services, insurance brokers. When you ask them to get me out of their dialer systems they say things like, “I cannot stop it sir, it’s out of my control.” And when I ask suggested an easy fix to a problem on the website at the cable provider, the woman became perplexed and anxious, repeating over and over another time that she was just the service agent for new installations. Not billing, not website, not tech support, not, not, not.

Just when you thought the knowledge worker title really meant something, you realize that most tasks that most workers do are still extremely siloed. Spans of responsibility are narrow. Integrative processes are still a far off dream. Independent decision making and action-taking is still an aspiration, while consumers experience the perspiration.

Here’s to a US Independence Day for the IT managers, customer service reps, tech support experts and everyone else trying there best to serve the enterprise, and serve the customer, only to be stymied by senior management too focused on sweating out profit while the customer walks away or cringes.

AX EP Role Centre inside Outlook [Short n Sweet :)]

Anonymous — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:29:00 GMT

I was just playing around with Outlook and AX trying to see see if the Role centre could be got into outlook as a default homepage. Well the simple way is to add the EP link as the defailt homepage , but it didnt look to good , with the menu etc. However if you append '&RUNONCLIENT=1' at the end on the EP RC URL, the menu's get chopped off and you see the Role centre real cool. Say if the URL is 'http://arijit:150/sites/DynamicsAx/Enterprise%20Portal/RoleCenterCEO.aspx?WCMP=CEU' then append '&RUNONCLIENT=1' at the end of the url [http://arijit:150/sites/DynamicsAx/Enterprise%20Portal/RoleCenterCEO.aspx?WCMP=CEU&RUNONCLIENT=1] and the heads of the MOSS/WSS site get chopped off. Pretty kool. See the screenshot below from my Outlook default homepage with AX CEO RC :)

Happy DAXing :-)

Special Service

Tracey Cummings — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:23:00 GMT

In today’s tough trading conditions, speciality retailers cannot afford to give anything less than exceptional levels of customer service, and this means making sure that the shelves are full. Argility’s Andrew Blatherwick tells us more

In these difficult times retailers around the world are taking different approaches to ensure their survival. In the US they believe that they should trade their way out of a recession, while in the UK retailers batten down the hatches and stop spending until they know they can survive. Despite these differences, there is one thing that all retailers can do to stay ahead, and that is to give outstanding customer service.

Customers have choice, and when they have less money they will use that choice even more judiciously to ensure they get what they want for their sparse resources. We all know that when you do not have much of anything you are more careful how you use it, and customers are the same when shopping. If you do not provide excellent service then they will simply vote with their feet. This offers a real opportunity to speciality retailers, which should present themselves as specialists and experts in their field. The major stores will always win on price, so the speciality retailer needs to find a different platform on which to fight. Great customer service can be that platform and provide the competitive edge necessary in these tough times to get their share of the wallet.

What can have a devastating effect on customer service is out-of-stock situations. A friend of mine recently asked me if a particular retailer was going out of business. I asked why, as I had not heard any news about the company. My friend replied: “Because they had very little on their shelves and looked as if they were closing down.” Now, this is a very large electrical retailer in the UK that is still in a strong financial position, but would you buy a technical item or any high-value item that you were at risk of not being able to return if it was faulty? I know I wouldn’t. What’s more, talk of a company being in trouble because it has no stock spreads very quickly, whether true or not, and before you know it the firm is in trouble – it is self-fulfilling.

When money and margins are tight it is very tempting to reduce stock – in some cases it is essential to maintain cash flow – but there are better alternatives. During difficult times retailers, particularly speciality retailers, need to be more efficient, and more conscious that every penny invested is giving maximum return. If your operation is inefficient then you are at risk, and if you do not sort it out it will sort you out.

It has been said for a while now that retailers can use their supply chains to compete and gain advantage, but this can be an issue for speciality retailers, which do not have the same economies of scale in the supply chain as the major supermarkets. However, by working closely with the supplier base and using shared resources from third-party distribution companies, speciality retailers can actually turn this to their advantage. If a general merchandise retailer is looking to reduce capital outlay, it will concentrate on core merchandise areas. Speciality retailers only have core merchan - dise, but this makes it even more critical to ensure that they have the right merchandise and the levels of inventory to correctly service customers coming into the store.

The same is true in store operations. Once again it is tempting to reduce operational costs and staffing, but at what cost? If all you do is reduce the service you provide for your customers it is a very dangerous game. If, however, a retailer makes sure that it has the very best processes, and solutions to support those processes, it can run more efficiently in store and still provide that great experience the customer is looking for. An intuitive solution that guides staff through the sales process, prompting them at appropriate points to make a comment or ask a pertinent question, will show the customer a much more caring, connected service that makes them feel wanted and valued. This will enable speciality retailers to focus on ensuring that their staff are true experts in their field, another potentially invaluable advantage in a tough market. If a customer has to give careful consideration to making a purchase then they will want to spend more time to get it right, and getting the right help and advice is critical.

I often hear retailers state that they are ‘simple retailers’ and do not need all the modern technology. However, it is good solutions that let a retailer operate simply while providing the customer with amazing service and value. Retailers cannot afford not to give great service, and to do that they need the help of great solutions, not cuts in staff and stock.

Keeping Afloat

Tracey Cummings — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:04:00 GMT

Financial services specialist Luc Schamhart looks at how the financial crisis has hit the Netherlands and what measures the country is taking--and needs to take--in order to minimise long-term negative effects.

The Dutch financial sector, which has undergone rapid growth and internationalisation over the past few decades, has been hit hard by the financial crisis. Over the past quarter of a century, financial markets have grown enormously as a result of deregulation, internationalisation, rapid development of IT and increased prosperity. Their recent collapse has dealt a heavy blow to financial institutions including many in the Netherlands, which have had to rely on government intervention to keep them afloat. Discussions on how best to manage the situation once it has calmed down are in full swing, particularly regarding structure and regulation. It is, for example, recognised that the scope and execution of regulation will have to change. In these efforts, however, we must not lose sight of the fact that properly functioning financial markets are essential for economic growth.

Content Provided By

This year the Dutch Government has had to ensure its country’s deposit guarantee scheme was extended, new bank loans were guaranteed and capital was made available. It paid €16.8 billion to Fortis/ABN AMRO by the end of January, and extended €13.75 billion in capital to various banks. At the beginning of February the capital injections totalled €10 billion for ING, €3 billion for AEGON, and €0.75 billion for SNS REAAL. On 31 March, the European Commission temporarily authorised a transaction between the Dutch State and ING Group, involving the transfer of 80 per cent of the cash flows from ING’s Alt-A mortgage portfolio to the state. The move was necessary because the impact of uncertainties surrounding the group’s capital and results was much greater than anticipated credit losses warranted. The transaction largely removed these uncertainties. In return, the Dutch state will receive a reasonable fee, and has a considerable chance of receiving positive cash flows. In total the transaction adds up to five per cent of the Dutch GDP.

The problems in the financial sector are accompanied by a decrease in the growth of credit, caused by the cyclical downturn which led to a decline in demand. The situation remains precarious for many Dutch financial institutions, as evidenced by high insurance premiums against bankruptcy on their bonds. In order to minimise market disruption, it is wise to reduce bank interest rates as quickly as possible, in line with the Dutch Government’s plan, although this will not completely succeed from one day to the next in the current circumstances.

As a small, open economy, the Netherlands is extremely sensitive to developments abroad. In the current situation, there is a risk that countries will take measures to protect their own economies. This could damage international trade and the functioning of the markets, with correspondingeffects on economic growth in the long term. Financial crises usually prompt the banking sector to withdraw within national borders; banks must secure the coverage of a credible government, because account holders might otherwise be tempted to pull out their money. At the same time, such a retreat leads in the long-term to a loss in prosperity, resulting in higher capital costs. It is hoped that recapitalisation by the government can ensure that credit issuing continues.

More generally, reorganisation of the banking sector remains an important priority. Problems within Dutch banks contributed to the current situation, and these must be addressed. On the banks’ part, concerted efforts are needed to manage risk and ensure regulatory compliance. At the same time, via its shareholdership, the Government has a new role for which it certainly was not prepared.

The credit crisis begs international coordination on a European or even a world level in at least four different areas. First is fiscal policy. A certain degree of cooperation is necessary, as fiscal stimulation in one country has positive consequences for others. Second, protectionism must be avoided. Stating good intentions does not suffice; coordinated sanctions against offenders are necessary to successfully fight protectionist reflexes. Third, regulation and supervision should be harmonised, at least on a European level, and there is a need for arrangements on burden sharing of the cost of supporting the financial sector.

The fourth point has not yet been addressed: In addition to a policy for rescuing the financial sector, thought must be given to a coordinated European response in case an E(M)U member state unexpectedly finds itself in substantial financial problems. However hard the credit crisis hits the Dutch economy, for many people the effects will remain limited for the time being. The banks have been kept afloat, which is to say that all account holders (except for those who held very large deposits at Icesave) have been spared the effects of the crisis. Shareholders of many banks, on the other hand, have all but lost their entire investment. In addition, as share prices have fallen the coverage ratios of pension funds have declined sharply, so that pensions are not expected to be indexed in the coming years.

Lower inflation means that the effects on purchasing power are relatively mild in most cases, at least for those who keep their jobs. However, the effects of the crisis on the real economy will become more noticeable with time, particularly on the labour market. Unemployment will rise sharply, especially among young people, immigrants and unskilled workers. Focused initiatives to keep these groups in work by means of training or internships are therefore a good way of targeting the stimulus policy, for the short and long term.

Weekly, the Dynamics GP team will be posting a ‘Did you know?’ series. We’ll give tips, tricks, and general comments around features and functions that already exist in Microsoft Dynamics GP. This week we will focus on the Security.

Our challenge to you is…how much do you really know about Dynamics GP?

Over the years, I’ve heard many product suggestions from customers and partners around security. With the addition of functionality like Refreshable Excel Reports, SQL Reporting Services Reports, Web Services, SharePoint, it’s important to understand how to deploy these great solutions securely.

This post will talk about two specific security features and has important links to additional information.

New Role Based Security

In Dynamics GP 10.0, we restructured our security based on customer feedback. Maintaining security and going through audits is much easier. A few highlights:

Pessimistic Security. Users will have access to nothing until security is set.
User Security can be copied to other companies or users.
The security is based on Roles and Tasks. For example, the A/P Clerk role would have a check printing task.
Hundreds of default tasks and fifteen roles come out of the box.
You can create new roles and tasks from scratch or by coping a default and editing.
Separates Alternate/Modified Forms and Report from security for easier management.
Prior security setups will convert to the new model.
