Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP Fall 2021 Release: Configure Web Services

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP Fall 2021 Release series where I am going to go hands on with installing the Microsoft Dynamics GP Fall 2021 Release and associated products.

With the Web Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP installed, we can now configure them. If you marked the checkbox on the last step of the installer, the wizard will already be open, otherwise you can launch the Web Services Configuration Wizard from the Windows Start menu.

On the Welcome step, click Next:

Check to make sure the connection information is correct and click Next:

There are two check performed and if either fail you need to investigate to determine if they will be a problem. The first check is of the currencies to make sure they all have a an ISO code assigned; if they don’t you will need to correct this. The second check, is to make sure each company has a functional currency assigned; this is only needed for the companies you will be using with the web services; you can check which companies do/don’t have a functional currency using this script.

If you’re happy with the results, click Next:
