Using SmartList to Display the Name of the User Who Posted a Transaction in Dynamics GP
From time to time we have had clients contact us wanting to know if there is an easy way to see who posted a transaction to the GL in Microsoft Dynamics GP. The Journal Entry Inquiry window will provide you with additional information associated with the journal entry, such as the Audit Trail Code and Source Document; however, it does not tell you who posted the transaction.Dynamics GP does store the user who posted the transaction in the database. So, an SQL script could be used to query the GL20000 (Open Year Posted Transactions) or GL30000 (Historical Year Transactions) tables with USWHPSTD being the User Who Posted field. However, most users do not have access to SQL to run ad hoc scripts.The easiest solution for all users is … [Read more...] about Using SmartList to Display the Name of the User Who Posted a Transaction in Dynamics GP
Easy Way to Determine Your Current Dynamics GP Version
Do you often wonder what Dynamics GP version number you are on? We often get questions about the version numbers and it’s easy to get confused by the number sequence.For many years, the version numbers for the Dynamics GP software were consecutive numbers such as 7, 8, 9, and 10. Updates to a version came out as a point release like, 8.5 or 9.5. Starting with release “11”, Microsoft started naming the Dynamics GP releases by the year released, instead of by the next sequential release number. So GP “11” became Dynamics GP 2010 and now GP “12” is Dynamics GP 2013.It was confusing because the change occurred in the year 2010. So the version numbers went from GP 10 to GP 2010 for releases 10 and 11, respectively.Not to confuse the … [Read more...] about Easy Way to Determine Your Current Dynamics GP Version
