SQL Scripts for Microsoft Dynamics GP: Update Site Descriptions From CSV

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis script is part of the SQL Scripts for Microsoft Dynamics GP where I will be posted the scripts I wrote against Microsoft Dynamics GP over the 19 years before I stopped working with Dynamics GP.

This script was created to allow a client to rename sites in Dynamics GP from a CSV file.

If the name provided was only DO NOT USE then this was added to the start of the existing site description (which was then truncated to the maximum length of 30 characters) otherwise the site description was replaced with the one from the file.

Filter Error on G/L Budget Card in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralA client reported a problem to me recently with the filters on the G/L Budget card in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central; they had been entering budget figures and wanted to review rows with numbers so applied a filter to the matrix, but found that the view did not change.

When they reported this to me I tried it on a couple of different versions of Dynamics BC and was able to reproduce the issue on both of them. It didn’t matter what the filter on the Budgeted Amount was, the data in the matrix never changed:

Filter of >0 being entered

We logged this with Microsoft to discover that they were aware of it and have it classed as “working by design”. This isn’t because it is working as it should, but because when they looked into it, they judged it as too complex to fix on a hotfix and had the original user who reported the issue log it on the Microsoft Ideas; if the idea gets sufficient votes then it will be considered as a feature request.

It seems that none of the filters available on the G/L Entry window and related export work to limit the visible/included data; I’d appreciate it if you could take a look at the suggestion and vote in favour so that the error can be fixed.
