When you are are choosing a new ERP system, you want to make sure that it has the options you will need as a user. For example, Microsoft Dynamics GP allows you to have different print options for each of your reports and each posting journal. It’s a great, nifty little feature with a lot of functionality; but it can be a bit of a chore to do the setup for this if you don’t want the defaults.

You can view all posting journals and edit lists onscreen before deciding whether or not to print them. This gives you a preview of all the journals before you go to print. Here’s a SQL script that will change all the posting journal settings in one fell swoop -

This script sets the print destination for all posting journals in company ‘TWO’ to ‘Screen’. ‘TWO’ is the company database. ‘SY02200′ is the Posting Journal Destination table. ‘PRTOSCNT’ = Print to Screen, ‘PRTOPRNT’ = Print to Printer, ‘PRTOFLNT’ = Print to File. A value of ‘1′ = Print. A value of ‘0′ = do not Print.

Because SY02200 is a Company database table, you’ll want to run this script on each of your company databases. This is easily done by just changing the database ID in the ‘USE’ statement.

If there are journals you don’t want to print at all, set the ‘PRNTJRNL’ field in SY02200 equal to ‘0′.
