Microsoft Dynamics GP Roadmap to 2028 and Beyond

Microsoft Dynamics GPTerry Heley on the Dynamics GP Support and Services Blog posted an article on Friday on the exciting future of Microsoft Dynamics GP and giving a Lifecycle Update. As part of the article she inked to the published Lifecycle (Roadmap) for Microsoft Dynamics GP which extends to 2028 and beyond for Microsoft Dynamics GP.

The published roadmap also shows the end of mainstream and extended support for versions older versions of the product which predate the Modern Lifecycle:

Microsoft Dynamics GP Roadmap through to 2028

In brief:

  • 2013 and 2013 R2 are out of mainstream support and in extended support until 11/4/2023.
  • 2015 and 2015 R2 are out of mainstream support and in extended support until 14/4/2025.
  • 2016 and 2016 R2 are out of mainstream support on 13/7/2021 and in extended support until 7/4/2026.
  • 2018 and 2018 R2 in mainstream support until 10/1/2023 and in extended support until 7/4/2026.

Microsoft Dynamics GP is now under the Modern Lifecycle and has the same commitment from Microsoft as Dynamics 365. The Modern Lifecycle means there should be more frequent updates to Microsoft Dynamics GP with at least three updates a year in January, June/July and October.

Microsoft will continue to keep adding new features and improving it based on direct feedback from users. The best way to make sure you continue to benefit from the improvements is to keep up-to-date on upgrades and use the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics GP.

The key takeaway from the published Lifecycle is that Microsoft Dynamics GP is not going anywhere and development will continue under the Modern Lifecycle policy with multiple releases each year.

Exchange Rates inserted by eConnect integrations

Microsoft Dynamics GPI recently assisted with a support call logged by a client following the introduction of an RM integration created using SmartConnect.

The client enters exchange rates at the start of the month, but following the integration being deployed, extra exchange rates were being inserted into the exchange rate table. This caused problems as the rate from the external system varied more often than the rates entered, and required, in Microsoft Dynamics GP.

The investigation started from the integration to see if there were any settings in it which could be causing this issue, but none seemed relevant. The only currency fields being set was the Currency ID and the Exchange Rate.

After this I started taking a look into the eConnect stored procedures on top of which SmartConnect runs. After digging down a couple of levels I discovered that taMCExchangeRate has a section which inserts the exchange rate passed in if it is not in the Exchange Rate table; this is regardless of the setting in Multicurrency Setup (Financial area page » Setup » Multicurrency) which were set to allow rates to be used without being added to the exchange rate table.

The client was running Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 SP2 and my investigation was confirmed on a 2019 October Release environment so this is a long standing issue which is not yet resolved; I have confirmed with Microsoft that they are aware of this issue and it is logged with the development team for resolution in a future version.

In the meantime, I have deployed customised versions of two stored procedures to the client so that they do not have the exchange rates being inserted into the exchange rate table.

Command Line Install Of a Microsoft Dynamics GP hotfix

Microsoft Dynamics GPOn myu laptop I tend to have a few versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP installed; this includes a 2018 R2 and 2019 October Release (hereafter referred to as 2019). When a hotfix for the 2019 October Release came out I wanted to install it, but applying the hotfix by running the downloaded msp file would update both the 2019 and 2018 R2 installs.

There is a way around it which is to do a command line install; I found some instructions on this Microsoft KB article in Q13.

Use Win+R to open a command prompt and type regedit and hit return. Navigate to the registry entry for the instance you want to update and find the Product Code.

The example below shows the path for the second instance I have which is the 2019 version:

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests: Paste from Excel in Web Client

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests series where I am going hands on with the top feature requests of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The eighth, and final, new feature from the top user requests, is copy and paste from Excel in the web client. This has not worked since 2015 R2 with fixes promised always in the next version.

Again it has been included as a feature in the October 2019 release, but while it allows you to get the data from Ececl into the GL Transaction Entry window, but is instead an import. To import the journal lines in the web client, click the Paste button and then click Choose file:

Import from Excel

You can browse to select a file to import as journal lines. The format is the same as when pasting in the desktop client.

It works, but it is not as nice and easy as the copy and paste possible in the desktop client and is not a copy and paste despite the announcement.

The seventh new feature from the top user requests, is the storage of the user ID who last modified an item record; this field has also been made available to SmartList:

Items SmartList object showing new User ID column

Being able to see the last user to amend an item is a good addition and it is nice to see it made available within SmartList.

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests series where I am going hands on with the top feature requests of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The sixth top requested enhancement is the availability of a column in the Items SmartList showing if an item is active or inactive:

Items SmartList with Inactive column

I was a little surprised to see this announced as a feature as I had assume this field was already available, but it seems that when an Inactive flag was added in Dynamics GP 2013 RTM, that was as far as the change went. Extra visibility is always a good thing, so nice to see this added.

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests: Save setting for how to show new POs

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests series where I am going hands on with the top feature requests of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The fifth new feature based on the top requested features, is a new setting to control whether the displaying of the PO is skipped when a purchase requisition is purchased. Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 RTM saw a new feature introduced whereby, when a PR was purchased, the purchase order transactions navigation list was automatically displayed. This turned out to be very disruptive for some clients due to the time it took to load the navigation list (especially when the Reporting Services Reports were deployed and the fact pane visible) that it was amended in Dynamics GP 2018 R2 to ask the user if they wanted to skip showing the navigation list.

The enhancement now is the addition of a drop down list in Purchase Order Setup (Purchasing » Setup » Purchase Order Processing) where the administrator can choose what happens:

Purchase Order Processing Setup

The default option remains Show the message which is the 2018 R2 behaviour.

I like being able to set the option to not show the question let alone the navigation list. Most of the clients I work with always click the option to skip displaying the navigation list, so this option to allow them to set it to ,em>Don’t show the message and don’t open the new PO is going to be very welcome.

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests: Minimize transaction when Go To is selected for PO that exists

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests series where I am going hands on with the top feature requests of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The fourth enhancement based on top requested features is the minimisation of the Payables Transaction Entry window when you choose Go To when you receive a warning that a PO exists for that vendor:

Go To message

The purchasing transactions navigation list displays with the Payables Transaction Entry open with the transaction entered, but minimised so it can’t be seen. Once you’re done with the navigation list, you can restore the Payables Transaction Entry window to post or delete the transaction.

this is apparently one of the top requested features, but I don’t really see the point. A lot of the clients I work with have dual monitors so are more likely to want to move the window to a secondary monitor rather than have it minimised. Unfortunately, this new feature doesn’t have any options to control the behaviour so the transaction entry window is minimised if you opt to go to the navigation list.

I’ve compared the window above to the one in Dynamics GP 2018 R2 and cannot see a difference, so either I am missing something or this “new” feature has been present for a while and just announced.
