Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R2: Display Vendor Hold Status When Entering Transactions and in Inquiry Windows

With the release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R2, users can now easily tell whether a vendor is on 'Hold' in the following windows: Payables Transaction Inquiry - Vendor, Purchasing All-in-One View, and Payables Transaction Entry Zoom windows.

Additionally, Microsoft Dynamics GP will now throw a warning message when a user attempts to enter a transaction when the vendor is on hold, "Vendor XXXX is currently on hold. Do you want to continue?":

NOTE:  If you use Integration Manager to import vendor information, this new warning message will cause the integration to fail as Integration Manager is a macro based system that is not aware of this warning message.  You will need to change your import process to not include vendors on hold or look at a different option to import such as eConnect.

In prior versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, there is no visual indicator in the Payables Transaction Inquiry - Vendor, Purchasing All-in-One View, and Payables Transaction Entry Zoom windows to indicate whether the vendor is on 'Hold'.

If the vendor is on 'Hold' the red octagon will be displayed. If the vendor is not on hold, the red octagon will not be displayed.

Enjoy!!
