Mark Polino’s Weekly MS Connect Suggestion — Multi-Company Support In One Database

Microsoft DynamicsContinuing Mark Polino’s weekly This weeks is a vote on adding support for multiple companies within one database. This is the first of mark’s suggestions to vote on that I’m slightly sceptical of.

Generally, a second company is dealt with in a separate database when it is a separate legal entity. If it’s not then it’s handled within the account framework (i.e. the first segment is defined as the company code); I can’t really envisage the technical approach that might be needed for a third way. Perhaps it’s just a failure of the imagination and someone can enlighten me.

If you’d be interested in seeing this change made, please go to Connect and vote.

MDGP 2013 Feature of the Day: Inventory Transaction Reason Codes

Microsoft Dynamics GPMicrosoft have started the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Feature of the Day on the Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP Blog.

Microsoft Dynamics GP and Schrödinger’s Cat

Microsoft DynamicsOne of the points I make (repeatedly until I see a confirmation they’ve done so) to clients when implementing Microsoft Dynamics GP is that they need to make sure that a maintenance backup of the SQL databases and other resources are being made.

In some cases the maintenance backup is a once a night job, other clients have had one done every twelve hours with log backups made every hour. As long as a regular backup is being made I’m happy and stop nagging them.

Changing FRx Menu Option To Open Management Reporter

Microsoft Dynamics GPIn this post I discussed renaming the FRx menu option in Microsoft Dynamics GP to show the name Management Reporter. One thing I didn’t cover, and which Susan Conrod reminded me of in the comments, is how to change the menu option so that it does actually open Management Reporter.

If you have not previously used the FRx mneu option on a client, then clicking the, FRx, or Management Reporter as it will be after you have renamed it, menu option in Microsoft Dynamics GP (Reports » Financial » Management Reporter (or FRx)) you will be presented with this window where you can select the application to be started;
