I am a little behind posting this one, but I think it is quite important to spread the news widely.

David Musgrave, now of WinthropDC, used to work at Microsoft and was the main author of the Developing for Dynamics GP blog which was part of the msdn blogs. This blog was an absolutely great resource on Dynamics GP, especially on more technical areas.

However, showing the impermanence of the Internet, earlier this year Microsoft announced that they would be closing down that platform. In order that useful posts weren’t lost, David has downloaded all of the old posts from the blog, which he deemed still useful on current versions, and imported them onto his new WinthropDC blog.

All of these posts have been categorised as Developing for Dynamics GP; in time they will also start to show up in search engine results.

If you are using Fixed Allocation Accounts in Microsoft Dynamics GP, there is only a standard report which shows the distribution accounts against one of the accounts. These reports are not very user friendly and can;t be exported to Microsoft Excel in usable way.

Below is a SQL View which can be added to a reporting tool such as SmartList Designer, or a refreshable Excel report, which will allow users to see how Fixed Allocation accounts have been setup.

-- drop view if it exists
IF OBJECT_ID (N'uv_AZRCRV_FixedAllocationAccounts', N'V') IS NOT NULL
    DROP VIEW uv_AZRCRV_FixedAllocationAccounts
GO
-- create view
CREATE VIEW uv_AZRCRV_FixedAllocationAccounts AS
