Hi,
We have a new employee added from Canada and needed to run Canadian Payroll just for him on the US company. How do we do that. I looked at the below but seems the KB article is not available anymore.
community.dynamics.com/.../129616
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/874569
We are on 2016 R2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jothikrishnan

Thanks, Beat. Not yet, I will test it out.
Have you tried to setup this up as I suggested ?
Install both modules in the same DYNAMICS SQL instance and then configure 2 GP clients, one with each payroll module. Never mix them up but it should work..
I was told by Microsoft that this should work. No need to use separate DYNAMICS instances..
Hi Beat,
Just checking to see if you have any idea on this.
Regards,
Hi Beat,
Seems the article refers to separate installation on everything like separate SQL server instance, GP server and client. Do you know of any other workaround or is it the only option, asking because you mentioned they share the tables which I believe you referred the same instance. We just need to run payroll for 1 Canadian employee while everyone else is US.
If that's possible, how do you manage the year end update, tax updates etc for Canadian vs US payroll.
Thank you!
Hi Beat,
Thank you so much! I will install and test and update here on the result.
I highly appreciate your help!
Best Regards,

Hi Jothikrishnan,
it is feasible, though somewhat complicated.. We do have GP setup to use the Canadian payroll module, but we don't use the US Payroll module within our US branch..
The point is that you can't have both configured at the same time int he DYNAMICS.SET launch file, as they do compete each against the other.
For many years partners would tell that this is an impossible setup and would required 2 different intances of DYNAMICS setup on the server.
However, after discussing the mater with some Microsoft support engineers, I was told that it is indeed possible to use within a signle instance, just that you have to setup 2 different configuration files (DYNAMICS_XYZ.SET) files to work with the GP client.
Label one shortcurt with Canadian Payroll (CPY) and the other one with US Payroll (UPR).
They do share some tables within GP, so be carefull and test it out thorougly before using it in Production.
PS: I do have a PDF copy of the KB article you referred to.. I could send it to you.
