Change All Microsoft Dynamics GP Posting Reports Set to Print to Screen Output

Ian Grieve4 minute read0 comment

Microsoft Dynamics GPI was helping a client implement Microsoft Dynamics GP last year and advised them to review the posting report setup and decide which ones they wanted to keep. To assist them with this, I ran the below script to change all reports which were set to print the report, to output the report to screen instead.

The users can then review the report and determine if they want to keep it or not.

            EXEC (@SQL_Statement)

This script updates the posting report output in every Dynamics GP company, so run it with care and after taking a good backup or all companies. I’d also recommend running it on a test system first, before running it on a live system to make sure you understand the impact it will have.

I’ve created other scripts to manipulate the posting reports previously:
