Microsoft Dynamics GP SQL Views for SmartList Designer to Enhance Reporting

Hello,

The Microsoft Dynamics GP Support team has created a living document where users can get sample SQL Views for various modules in GP. This includes a wide variety of modules such as Bank Rec and Manufacturing.  These SQL views can then be brought into SmartList Designer with the ‘sa’ user and can be used within GP by other users using KB 4014658 and can also be exported to Excel .

There are also many publicly posted SQL views for Microsoft Dynamics GP besides our list above, and you can find almost anything you need or at least a starting point by just searching “GP SQL View” on Bing or any search engine. Then use the KB above to bring it into SmartList Designer.

Note: Issues with non-power user's receiving access errors when attempting to modify SmartLists based on SQL Views have been addressed in GP 2018. 

Helpful Tips:

• As mentioned in the KB, always run Grant.sql after creating your SQL view.
• Make sure that your columns are in the correct order and results are already narrowed down in your SQL view before you bring it into Microsoft Dynamics GP.  Your everyday users can view the results and search/filter accordingly, but only ‘sa’ can modify these SmartLists based on SQL views.
• Be smart with how many columns you use in your SQL view. Include only what you need. The more columns and the more results you have the longer it will take to load the list.
• By default Microsoft Dynamics GP will display 1000 results at a time which is recommended.
