Modern Lifecycle and the Continued Commitment to Microsoft Dynamics GP

2/12/2020

0 Comments

 
Posted by Lise'Cummings and Ashley Kennally
​
With the Microsoft Dynamics GP release in October 2019 a new support initiative was put in place, called the Modern Lifecycle.

This new Modern Lifecycle shows that Microsoft, more than ever, has a continued commitment to the Dynamics GP product and has provided a clear roadmap for what customers can expect going forward. 

Let us help you break this down and explain what it means to you.

This means that they've done away with the 5 year Mainstream Support on versions released on/after October 2019.  In this new support model, customers will now be encouraged to stay current with new releases and apply at least one update per year if at all possible. 

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015        Mainstream Support end date 4/14/2020
Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016        Mainstream Support end date 7/13/2021
Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018*        Mainstream Support end date 1/10/2023
*Version 18.00.0727 and prior (anything prior to October 2019 release)        

With that being said, if a customer has not applied an update in 2 years, Microsoft has said they will not refuse support to someone on an older version unless they have a data integrity issue.

As long as you remain current on your annual enhancement, the Modern Lifecycle policy will include at a minimum: a rich feature release in October, the usual November and December year-end updates, and a mid-year update depending on regulatory changes.

Don’t fret, these updates won't happen automatically.  The decision of when the update is installed will still be at your discretion. 

Contact your Strategic Account Manager if you still have questions or if you would like to learn how our new VisionFlex plan can provide yearly upgrades to stay on the newest version.

If you are a member of the GPUG community, you may already know what it means to be a GPUG All-Star.  But if you don’t, the definition according to Dynamic Communities (the organization behind the user group) is below. 

“The GPUG All-Star Award program recognizes GPUG members who have a passion for Microsoft Dynamics GP and have made significant contributions of their time and expertise to educate and connect the greater GPUG community. GPUG All-Star Award recipients are nominated and voted on by GPUG members.”

Using Excel to Automate Dynamics GP Data Entry

8/15/2019

Posted by Paul Haag

Although Dynamics GP has a fairly robust application programming interface (API) for importing or updating data, there are certainly times when a specific window is not covered, especially in a 3rd party product. It can seem like the only solution is to manually click through a long list of changes (or hire a temp worker to do it). 

Fortunately, Dynamics GP also has an engine for recording and then repeating repetitive tasks called Macros. Even more fortunately, the language of the macro is essentially plain text, so it’s easy to record a macro and then replace the bits you need to perform an action at scale. Here’s how. 

​Although this is an area that’s well covered by APIs, as a specific example, let’s look at mass-changing customer classes. 

Get Your Update Data in Excel 
You need to have the values you want to change something to listed in Excel. For our customer class example, we can export the list of customers we want to modify, using the Customers SmartList. 

  1. In GP, go to Microsoft Dynamics GP > SmartList 
  2. Expand Sales and click on Customers. 
  3. Optionally, you can use the Search functionality in this window to narrow down the list to just the set of customers you want to update. 
  4. Once you’re satisfied with the list, click the Excel button in the header to generate an Excel spreadsheet. ​

7 Management Tips for a More Effective ERP Implementation

Posted by Tim Fry

Let's get straight to it...
​
1. Have a Clear Vision and Outcome
This is imperative to gain support of your superiors and subordinates alike. Be able to communicate a clear vision of WHY the system is needed and what you will gain from it. An ERP system implementation is a great deal of work and it is difficult for many employees to deal with the change. Having a clear, concise message will help gain acceptance and your people will be more willing to complete the extra work required. Additionally, keeping a clear focus on your deliverables will help keep your project on track and prevent scope creep.  ​

Since the release of Dynamics GP 2013 R2, Microsoft has been reinventing Workflow and adding new Workflow functionality to each subsequent release.

​Often times, GP Users are not on most recent version of GP and I am often asked – “What workflows do I have available to me in my current version?” ​I put together a list of Workflows along with their release version, for your reference (and mine LOL).

Explaining how to handle data conversion to anyone implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is probably the most difficult concept to explain.  Most people want all of their data from their existing system ready to go in there new system on day one.  While this is a wonderful idea, the actual act of doing that is easier said than done.
