A Novel use for Landed Cost and an Explanation of Dynamics GP Landed Cost Postings and Options
This week I’ve been working on a deployment where one line of business sells containers of material which is purchased to order. The ultimate goal is to provide them with very accurate margin analysis on these container Sales Transactions both as a business measure and to provide feedback into their quoting process. Our client is coming from QuickBooks where they’ve been using ‘Job Cost’ to accumulate and report on these costs.
Most of these orders are coming overseas and have both import and overland freight and duty fees, etc. etc. associated with them. Since these transactions have variable indirect and direct costs and they’re purchased to order, we needed to come up with a way to track both budgetary and actual costs against a PO without having to go to a Project Solution (which would’ve taken too much setup and maintenance).

Cross-Database Queries & Dynamics GP Smartlist Builder
We encountered a situation with one of our Cleveland clients trying to use Smartlist Builder to create a Smartlist that was based on a SQL view that they had developed. The view was a query that was getting result sets from multiple tables across multiple databases. We setup the security in GP correctly as stated in the Smartlist Builder manual, however we were not able to even see the new Smartlists listed once we logged in as a user that should have access to them.

Resolving Application Errors in Integration Manager on x64 Servers
With the cost of x64 server architecture coming down and their relative performance going up, more and more of our clients are opting to move their SQL Servers over as they upgrade them. This has presented some issues with 32 bit applications and we’ve been running into client-side application compatibility errors with increasing frequency.
Yesterday, while working with one of our new clients, we repeatedly received ‘ADO field is nothing’ errors when trying to preview data source data and ‘DOC 1 ERROR: Unable to cast COM object of type’ error messages, while trying to run Integration Manager to bring in master files. The application would open correctly and we were able to do create new integrations, but we were unable to proceed.

Microsoft Dynamics GP Users Summit Briefly Previews GP version 11.0
There is a really interesting article about Dynamics GP version 11 over on MSDynamicsWorld.com (registration required), describing the preview Microsoft delivered at the GP Users Group Summit this week. While it’s by no means comprehensive in its description of new features, it does reinforce what we’ve seen from Microsoft in the last two releases of Dynamics GP: a heavy focus on increased integration to Microsoft Office and improvement of end-user productivity through use of configurable workflow and the blurring of the lines between business productivity software (Microsoft Office) and the ERP system (Dynamics GP). The article put it in the following terms: [Read the rest of this article...]

Get Lean and Go Green with doc-link Enterprise Document Management

What is MICR?
“MICR” stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. MICR encoding is a process by which checks are printed using special magnetic ink and font characters to create machine readable information for check processing. As a check travels through the banking system, a reader-sorter machine sends a magnetic charge to the check which allows it to read MICR information very quickly and accurately. Because of this required magnetic charge, the Federal Reserve and all banks require that checks be printed with a special MICR toner (for the curious-minded, the special ingredient for MICR toner is iron oxide - an excellent trivia question next time you’re hanging around the coffee machine). Laser printers with a special cartridge are typically used to print MICR-encoded checks. Using a MICR solution can transform a blank piece of security paper into a complete check with date, payee information, logos, bank identification and the MICR line, along with automated signatures, if desired.
