Fellow blogger Houston Neil addresses the proverbial question of what’s the difference between the Microsoft Dynamics products. The truth is, to understand the functional and technological differences, you have to go back a few years in history to look at the Microsoft Dynamics products acquisition process, the failed Microsoft Project Green, and perhaps, even look at Oracle’s attempt over the last 7 years to consolidate their products after their acquisition of PeopleSoft to understand that the ERP world is a very complex one with the customer base driving product decisions across the board.
I am a big Microsoft Dynamics GP proponent and defender, and in fact being an MVP allows me to carry out a lot of the product evangelism to customers and partners. Despite the product directions and strategies I have been witnessing over the past couple of years, I will be the first to say that there will be GP for years and years to come (see my article on Microsoft Dynamics GP Roadmap Update). Am I confident that 10 years from now I will be telling you the same story? I would hope so, but don’t bank on that one! After all, the market evolves and set the tone, and ultimately customers in any industry determine what stays and what goes… however, GP chances are looking pretty good from where I stand.
Until next post!

Global English Partner Online Technical Communities upgraded to the forum platform since Apr 27, 2009, at 9:00am PST. I have to say I have been quite excited lately working on the new Dynamics GP (Partners) forum platform. Forums defer from Newsgroups in that these are moderated by Microsoft employees and are exclusive to Microsoft partners who are Registered members, Certified members, or Gold Certified members — this is, they are not public.
The following are links to the different partner forums:
Dynamics GP
Dynamics AX
Dynamics NAV
Dynamics SL
Dynamics RMS
Dynamics Sure Step
Until next post!

My friend Doug Pitcher over at Rose Business Solutions has more information on GL year end closing after upgrading from Dynamics GP 8.0 to Dynamics GP 10.0. Apparently, there is an issue with the GL_Account_SUM_HIST_View not being updated correctly after the upgrade, causing a failure near the end of the closing process. Doug also has some recommendations on overcoming this issue. Please click here to read more.
Until next post!

How many times have you wished a particular feature to be incorporated into the Dynamics GP application? How many times have you wished you could have some input on how a module should work or how it could be changed to work more efficiently? My dear friend Scott Stephenson, team manager for the Microsoft Dynamics GP Developer Support team in the US joins the Developing for Dynamics GP blog with a compelling article on providing product feedback.
Microsoft Connect was created with this purpose and has been a vehicle for users and developers alike to have their voices heard with Microsoft product mangers and developers. If you haven’t done so, please visit Connect and register to begin entering your suggestions today.
Until next post!
