You might have noticed that content for Dynamics GP is available on the Docs.microsoft.com site at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-gp/. But did you know that you can contribute to the docs?

 

We’re very excited to have Dynamics GP on the Docs.microsoft.com site. This site brings us a new toolset based on Open Source Software and GitHub-flavored MarkDown in a public GitHub repo: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msftdynamicsgpdocs

 

In this new world, we use Open Source Software, which means that you can choose to use the same tools as we do: Visual Studio Code, Atom, and DocFx. You'll be able to fork the repo and make your customizations in your copy of our source files. You'll be notified if we publish updates, and GitHub will help you merge our changes into your content.

 

But even more importantly, we want your help in adding and updating the content here on the Docs.microsoft.com site. The content that we have published to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-gp/ is the installation and upgrade docs, but there is plenty of more content out there that can be added. For example, if you have a list of workarounds that you always carry with you, then add it to GitHub, submit a pull request, and we’ll pick up your suggestions the next day or the next week for publishing.

 

Getting started is easy  - once you figure it out, of course. Start by checking the Docs Contributor Guide that has lots of tips and tricks. Then go to the repo at https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msftdynamicsgpdocs and create your fork. Practice based on the tips in the ReadMe.md file, and when you’re ready, submit your first pull request. Yes, it’s a lot of new terminology and tools to learn, but we look forward to your contributions, and we’re very excited about this new world of collaboration on the Dynamics GP docs.

Summit 2018, now with more community.

We hear community preached a lot around GP, AX/D365FO, NAV/D365BC, etc., but it felt like it was really on display at Summit 2018. Each of the groups had a space uniquely it’s own making it easy for users with common interests to congregate during the day.

It’s easy to be overwhelmed at Summit, especially if you are there alone as the only representative of your company. It ’s tough to split time when there are conflicting sessions. It’s easy to be unmotivated to go out in the evenings. Even if you come with others from your organization, sometimes you don’t want to spend all day and night with them. 

That’s why it was cool to see the Orlando GPUG group hanging out together at a party. This is a group that has gotten to know each other at events throughout the year and now they know each other well enough to have some fun together. It was great that they had picked up a few stragglers along the way, but it’s a lot more fun to be part of the group. 

A number of people commented that they come to Summit to learn, but also to see their friends. I have other friends, but they don’t really understand what I do for a living so it’s fun to hang out with people who do.

Go spend some time with your local UG group this year. Get to know people in your area this year and then come to Orlando and have some fun at Summit 2019. But you have to start now so block out the next local user group on your calendar.

White Paper: Cloud ERP Delivers 2.1x More ROI

$

When it comes to business applications, return on investment (ROI) is crucial for the long-term success of an organization. Companies often invest thousands in ERP, CRM and other systems hoping to improve their business processes and ultimately increase productivity and revenue. Few things can be more deflating than realizing you have made a poor investment and will ultimately decrease the value of your organization because of bad decisions. When issues like starting cost and energy usage are significant concerns, you might want to consider the cloud.

Recent case studies by Nucleus Research discovered that cloud business applications deliver 2.1 times more ROI than on-premise applications of the same type – a 24 percent increase. Cloud business applications require lower capital expenditures and can be implemented faster. While early adopters found the cloud to lack some of the benefits of on-premise, the study found that cloud services have now matured, offering more features, functionality and complexity, but still at a lower cost. In fact the starting cost for cloud services is 63 percent lower, and the operating cost is about 55 percent lower.

The studies looked at enterprise resource management (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), human capital management (HCM), workforce management (WFM), supply chain management (SCM), content management, analytics and platform-as-a-service (PaaS). They found that cloud applications can change and adapt over time without the high costs of upgrades usually associated with on-premise. It is also easier for cloud users to switch and go elsewhere if they do not see positive results. This encourages competition among cloud providers, which ultimately increases quality and keeps prices low. Moreover, cloud applications are greener using 91 percent less energy than comparable on-premise systems.

The Munich Hackathon

What are Hackathons? A broad way to describe them is problem-solving events. However, two of our UK-based PowerObjects consultants recently made a visit to Munich, Germany to attend one of Microsoft’s annual Hackathons, and they came home suggesting a better description: a whole lot of fun.

Taking place during the weekend of 13th-14th October, the Microsoft Hackathon was set up as a competition, wherein 50 people were split into approximately 30 groups to devise and deliver a working solution on an issue of their choosing. PowerObjects consultants Pavlos Vasileiadis and Jack Murphy each participated in the Hackathon for a very intense 48 hours of (almost) non-stop technical work, planning and presenting.

Their motivations and participation throughout the Hackathon completely personify PowerObjects’ 5 Guiding Principles, which are collectively a very strong component of our Company Culture. To that end, let’s highlight each of the Principles and describe exactly how Pavlos and Jack exemplified PowerObjects’ values during the Hackathon.

“It was a good mixture of competition but also sharing knowledge, all in a really positive atmosphere” – Pavlos

ALWAYS ADD VALUE

The key aspect of adding value came in the form of defining and consolidating the pain points relating to the topic and project the PowerObjects team chose. The healthcare solution they devised, which they coined PowerClinic, can add tremendous value back to the clinics and practices experiencing the same pain points. Adding value remained at the core of the team’s practices throughout the intense 48-hour event.

Whilst not a new player in EMEA scene, PowerObjects is always on the lookout for ways to boost and bolster our Brand image and recognition within EMEA. Adding value to the PowerObjects brand is an important and ongoing process that is always aided by every member of the organisation. Pavlos and Jack, during their weekend of non-stop hacking, became Brand Ambassadors by spreading awareness, throughout all their activities, of who PowerObjects is and what we do.

True to the guiding principle, our two refined consultants took it upon themselves to add value not only to PowerObjects, but also to themselves. The best way to build and improve anything is to start at the foundation. Pavlos and Jack accomplished that by learning priceless information about themselves, including how they work under pressure, and best practices in delivering solutions. Over the course of 48 hours, they further developed their in-depth knowledge of Microsoft’s platforms and technologies, as well as developed crucial knowledge about themselves.

THINK TEAM

Due to the large number of people and the plethora of teams all competing for first prize, there was a naturally incited atmosphere of competition that the PowerObjects representatives were more than eager to meet head on.

“PowerObjects loves a challenge” – Jack

Pavlos and Jack volunteered to lead their individual team of five in devising, strategizing and executing their planned solution. This meant that on top of their own specific project responsibilities, their role included delegating tasks, ensuring that timelines were kept to and total organisation of their team. They took PowerObjects’ second principle to heart and created an efficient and productive working environment, boosting their teammates’ spirits and teamwork.

Within a smaller context, Pavlos and Jack seldom have the opportunity to work this closely together for such an extended period. The 48-hour weekend enabled them to get to know each other much better as working colleagues and cultivate an effective working dynamic. No doubt this will be reflected in their future projects!

LOVE WHAT YOU DO

At PowerObjects, it’s highly important that every member of the organisation truly enjoys their role. Passionate involvement in projects and daily tasks helps ensure that solution delivery is consistently successful. During the Hackathon, passions and competition were running high throughout, which helped fuel the PowerObjects team to work harder and achieve more.

Going up against the clock to complete a task under a great deal of pressure is exactly the type of situation in which PowerObjects thrives and produces exemplary solutions. Competing against other teams at the Hackathon, in such an intense environment, opened another view of the technology and reaffirmed Pavlos’ and Jack’s enjoyment of what they do.

“There is no point of the Hackathon that you don’t enjoy” – Pavlos

LIVE THE TECHNOLOGY

Having a love for the technology used every day is an important aspect in the life of a PowerObjects employee. The Microsoft Hackathon event shows precisely how Pavlos and Jack live the technology as a key part of their lives. They both researched the event themselves and made conscious and involved efforts to ensure they attended, since the opportunity to work this closely with Microsoft, and regarding Microsoft technology, was too good to pass by. They live the technology right to their cores and their involvement, even on weekends, reflects the commitment to be the best in their respective fields.

It is important to note that all the work that went into PowerClinic at the Hackathon was completed using current Microsoft technologies. An important learning that Pavlos and Jack gained was the in-depth insights into what is possible with the current technologies, even under strenuous and short timelines. For example, the team managed to successfully “get 3 months of work done in the space of 2 days.” Knowing the technology inside and out is critical to being able to deliver the best solutions, consistently.

DO THE RIGHT THING

One of the main objectives that Pavlos and Jack had defined, before going into the Hackathon, was to make sure they initiated, worked diligently on, and successfully executed a project they deeply cared about, thereby adding value not only to business operations, but to the betterment of society, as well. After a team brainstorming session, they decided on designing and creating a healthcare-based solution, with the idea of streamlining the patient process.

“It wasn’t just about adding value to the business, it was about adding value back to society” – Jack

Even in the face of severe competition and pressure, our PowerObjects ambassadors remained true to the final core of our company culture. They did the right thing by focusing on a project to improve the lives of a much wider range of people: those suffering from almost innumerable issues.

Q&A:

What benefits do you feel you gained from attending the Hackathon?

  • Pavlos: “Managing a team under constant and absolute pressure teaches you a lot about project and time management. More importantly it teaches you that there is no delivery without the correct attitude of management.”
  • Jack: “Being able to work with similar like-minded consultants, and actually deliver a working solution in that timeframe teaches you a lot about teamwork as well as how important and rewarding good communication is.”

Did you learn anything new from the experience?

  • Pavlos: “I learnt a lot about myself and how I cope with the pressures of delivering under strict and short deadlines. Sticking to your plan and continuously delivering is crucial.”
  • Jack: “I definitely learnt a lot about how to keep your calm under a lot of time-intensive pressure. Also, that at events like these everyone runs almost purely on energy drinks!”

Would you do the Hackathon again?

  • Pavlos: “Absolutely, but I need a bit of a break first.”
  • Jack: “I would definitely go back again next year.”

Tip #1 Self Service Portal for Users using Kingsway SSIS jobs

Several self-service tools for CRM users in various departments: bulk file upload mechanisms with necessary validation and error reporting that identifies data mapping points that are discretionary for users to self-resolve.

One User story: Hey Summer, a new Hospital joined – we have an excel file of Contacts and their various functional roles we need imported into CRM!

Resolution: the self-service portal allows users to attach their own files they need mapped or audited in CRM and processes the data every 2 hours: sending the notifications and any errors to the users to correct.

An example of an error notification sent to a user: There is already an active Contact in CRM with that first and last name at that Organization, but the email address and job title differ. Does the contact in CRM need to be updated or do you need to create a new unique Contact? This is a decision highlighted for the business to make, not IT and the errors can also be resolved in a self-service mechanism.

Tip #2 CRM Performance Center – Just hit Ctrl + Shift + Q in Internet Explorer

Using the tool to log improved form load times for record

Example: Consolidated 8 variations of an Account down to 1 with use of field level security and turned legacy form rendering off has improved the form load time of an Account by 5 seconds till an ‘edit-ready load.’

Resolution: Account forms are now loading 5 seconds faster and we can prove this by using the CRM Performance Center that logs all the events that occur when a form is loaded.

The Right Accounting Technology Partner Makes All the Difference in the World

The Right Accounting Technology Partner Makes All the Difference in the World – “If another business was asking me, “who would you recommend to help me with my accounting system?,” says Earl Longoria (Texas Direct Auto), “Hands down I would recommend EIS, specifically because their people are very knowledgeable.”

Selecting a new ERP accounting solution is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make for your business.  Having been through the process with over 600 companies, we understand how important a successful implementation is for the executive team, the people who will use the system every day, and the company itself.

A lot of second-guessing and doubt can swirl around an ERP accounting software implementation:  What if things go wrong?  Will this perform as promised?  How much disruption will the organization endure?

But it doesn’t have to be that way.  Not if you have the right technology partner.

Our team wants to make the process as stress-less as possible.  Express Information Systems 29+ years of experience continues to eliminate the “what if things go wrong” concern as we bring a 100% implementation success rate to your project.

Express Information Systems’ 96% customer retention rate is evidence that what we demonstrated to you in the sales process will work as promised following implementation.

Change means disruption.  The benefit of working with Express Information Systems is that we keep the disruption to a minimum.

“Due to the knowledge and support of the consultant assigned to us from Express Information Systems, we were able to implement the new accounting system without disruption to our business,” reports Susan Quidley (SecureLogix).

We perform ERP implementations 22% faster than the industry average.  You are up and running quickly, as promised, and on a system optimized for you and your business goals.

If you are considering a new ERP accounting solution, remember that an equally important aspect of your decision is the technology partner you choose to guide you through selection, implementation and post-implementation support.  Consider our track record – we would bring our industry-leading performance to your project.  A successful ERP project is just a phone call away.

Application-wide system events (previously known as “Codeunit 1 events”)

You must have heard. Codeunit 1 is a goner! And if you have not heard it – you must have read about it. Because it has been on Microsoft Docks for a while, and also there was a blog that Microsoft spent on it.

Well, before I managed to find these description, I was working on my own overview ;-). So let me share it – I do believe that I look at it from another angle.

Where are my events?

If we want to extend codeunit 1, we have been subscribing to events. And if not – you should have ;-). So, first question would be – where are the events that we were subscribing to??

Well, I made my own overview of all the published events in codeunit 1, and the mapping to the new event in the table below:

OnCheckPreconditionsPerCompanyCodeunit<Data Upgrade Mgt.>.PROCEDURE<OnCheckPreconditionsPerCompany>

OnEditInExcelCodeunit<ODataUtility>.PROCEDURE<OnEditInExcel>
OnRoleCenterOpenCodeunit<Conf./Personalization Mgt.>.PROCEDURE<OnRoleCenterOpen>

I indicated in red the ones that need a bit attention, as either they are not available, or are renamed.. .

Are there new events as well?

Yes! And quite many of them. I just don’t know how I can give you a complete overview of all the events “that could have been in codeunit 1, but are now spread over multiple codeunits.. “. So, let me just give you a few tips of where you could find such “generic” or “platform wide” or “…” events.

In my opinion, the below codeunits have these kind of events that I think are very interesting in a application-wide-context:

  • LogInManagement
  • ReportManagement
  • Application System Constants
  • Conf./Personalization Mgt.
  • TextManagement
  • AutoFormatManagement
  • CaptionManagement
  • GlobalTriggerManagement
  • SaaS Log In Management
  • Company Information
  • Custom Report Layout
  • ODataUtility
  • Data Upgrade Mgt.

So. Just to help you … I created another list with events which I think are quite interesting for you. In bold, you see the ones that didn’t exist in Codeunit 1.

  • Codeunit<LogInManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterCompanyClose>
  • Codeunit<LogInManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterCompanyOpen>
  • Codeunit<LogInManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterLogInEnd>
  • Codeunit<LogInManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterLogInStart>
  • Codeunit<LogInManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnBeforeCompanyClose>
  • Codeunit<LogInManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnBeforeCompanyOpen>
  • Codeunit<ReportManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterGetPaperTrayForReport>
  • Codeunit<ReportManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterGetPrinterName>
  • Codeunit<ReportManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterHasCustomLayout>
  • Codeunit<ReportManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterSubstituteReport>
  • Codeunit<Application System Constants>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterGetApplicationVersion>
  • Codeunit<Conf./Personalization Mgt.>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterCopyProfile>

  • Codeunit<GlobalTriggerManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterOnGlobalInsert>
  • Codeunit<GlobalTriggerManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterOnGlobalModify>
  • Codeunit<GlobalTriggerManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterOnGlobalRename>
  • Codeunit<GlobalTriggerManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnBeforeOnDatabaseDelete>
  • Codeunit<GlobalTriggerManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnBeforeOnDatabaseInsert>
  • Codeunit<GlobalTriggerManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnBeforeOnDatabaseModify>
  • Codeunit<GlobalTriggerManagement>.PROCEDURE<OnBeforeOnDatabaseRename>
  • Codeunit<SaaS Log In Management>.PROCEDURE<OnSuppressApprovalForTrial>
  • Table<Company Information>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterGetSystemIndicator>
  • Table<Custom Report Layout>.PROCEDURE<OnAfterReportGetCustomRdlc>
  • Codeunit<ODataUtility>.PROCEDURE<OnEditInExcel>
  • Codeunit<Data Upgrade Mgt.>.PROCEDURE<OnCheckPreconditionsPerCompany>
  • Codeunit<Data Upgrade Mgt.>.PROCEDURE<OnCheckPreconditionsPerDatabase>
  • Codeunit<Data Upgrade Mgt.>.PROCEDURE<OnIsUpgradeInProgress>
  • Codeunit<Data Upgrade Mgt.>.PROCEDURE<OnUpgradePerCompany>
  • Codeunit<Data Upgrade Mgt.>.PROCEDURE<OnUpgradePerDatabase>
  • Codeunit<Data Upgrade Mgt.>.PROCEDURE<OnValidateUpgradePerCompany>
  • Codeunit<Data Upgrade Mgt.>.PROCEDURE<OnValidateUpgradePerDatabase>

But that’s not all…

If you look for example into Codeunit “LoginManagement”, you’ll see that it subscribes to an event called “OnCompanyClose”, which is an event in codeunit “2000000003”.

I wasn’t able to export that codeunit (with powershell, nor with the classic client) – and even found a few more like those codeunits. In classic environment, this is what I saw:

So all these codeunits end with “Triggers” – which means in VSCode, we are able to access them with Intellisense like:

Here is an overview of all the events in these “system trigger codeunits”:

Company TriggersOnCompanyClose
Company TriggersOnCompanyOpen
Debugger TriggersOnDebuggerBreak
Extension TriggersOnInstallAppPerCompany

Global TriggersGetDatabaseTableTriggerSetup

System Action TriggersCustomizeChart
System Action TriggersGetDefaultRoleCenterID
System Action TriggersInvokeExtensionInstallation
System Action TriggersOnEditInExcel
System Action TriggersOpenContactMSSales
System Action TriggersOpenDebugger
System Action TriggersOpenSettings

I’m not sure in how to use all of them – but it is a great help to simply look into the code of Busines Central, as most (if not all) of these events exist because Microsoft needed them. You can figure out how to use them, and in many cases, you’ll find what are the actual events you should use as a developer.

Enjoy!

Microsoft Dynamics 365/CRM

In Voice of the Customer, after you’ve built your survey, you will want to strategically send it out to get the most and highest quality feedback possible.

There is a difference in how you will distribute surveys to Non-Anonymous survey-takers and Anonymous survey-takers.

Non-Anonymous surveys are the most common type of survey, used for lead generation and information gathering.

For Non-Anonymous survey-takers, you will want to copy the survey code. It is recommended that for you to utilize an email template to send the survey code snippet.

Email templates allow for easy customization for mass email sends.

The email template can be sent in many different ways:

  • Directly from the Survey
  • Through Direct Email to a list of Contacts
  • Workflows
  • Quick Campaigns
  • Survey Invitations and Survey Activities 

With Anonymous surveys, since you don’t know exactly who you are sending your survey to, you simply copy the survey URL, paste the link into a field, and send through the distribution channel you are using.

Surveys are a great way to gather information about known and unknown audiences. The cost is much lower with online and mobile surveys rather than distributing paper surveys or conducting phone surveys, for example.

Mobile and online surveys can reach thousands!

Surveys are useful for describing large groups, offer creators a lot of flexibility with the user-experience, and, best of all – surveys are dependable. Plus, they integrate into your CRM system with Voice of the Customer in Microsoft Dynamics 365/CRM!

Prevent or Fix – How DynaRent helps prevent asset breakdowns

$

A common saying states that it is better to prevent than it is to heal, or in this case, to fix. This also applies to asset management within businesses. It is preferable to fix an asset malfunction or breakdown before it even happens – a concept often referred to as preventative maintenance. This practice is a must for companies that work with assets on a daily basis.

Asset breakdown is a costly operational element for any business. Not only does this mean having to repair the asset, it also translates to decreased utilization, which no one strives for. Thus, organizations seek a way to better prepare for these breakdowns or, preferably, to prevent them from ever occurring. Preventative maintenance allows for setting up maintenance cycles based on particular variables, for example based on running hours, mileage, or time – even for future purposes – so your mechanics can be aware of upcoming inspections in a timely manner.

Setting up maintenance plans

DynaRent offers all of these benefits – it allows you to set up maintenance plans on a product or asset level. Moreover, if you define your maintenance cycles based on your products, for example, if you know the cycles up front from your supplier, then they can be automatically inherited to related assets. Also, this applies to any meters that are related to the assets. A maintenance cycle based on mileage does not work without an appropriate meter.

But does that mean that you can only select a single meter per asset? This is a question we often hear, but fortunately, the answer is no. DynaRent support multiple meters per asset, ensuring that multiple plans work simultaneously. And we do not stop there – each Component (used for asset structures can have its own maintenance plan. For instance, the upper and lower engines in a crane could each have their own cycles. This will trigger a work order once a specific interval or threshold is reached, with no manual interference required. All that you need to do is schedule this work order in our integrated Service Planboard.

Maintenance can be a tricky part of rental businesses. However, with proper input, a certain amount of data inheritance, and a process you can trust that does not require constant manual work, DynaRent can make life a lot easier. Still, we understand that sometimes even with these tools, carrying out all your work orders in a timely fashion can prove challenging. But not to worry! DynaRent’s delayed maintenance can take you even further by combining work orders that were not completed on time into new counterparts to ensure the proper maintenance your assets deserve.

Feel free to reach out to us via email at info@highsoftware.com if you have any questions or for a free demonstration of our DynaRent solution within the Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations application. We are happy to help, we look forward to hopefully meeting with you soon!
