Dynamics GP Community Call with Cecile Dinh & Others

With Microsoft's latest updates to Dynamics GP sales, licensing, and support plans, the future of the product may seem uncertain. In this live panel discussion, organized by MSDW and Dynamics User Group, our panel of GP veterans will review the details of Microsoft's decisions around new customer sales and support and discuss what these changes mean for the user and partner communities. We will also take audience questions and comments.


Here’s the highlights:

  • No more new GP customers in October 2025
  • Existing customers can still add new modules and additional users
  • Annual enhancements renewals will increase in October 2023
  • Microsoft will still release updates in 2028 and beyond
  • Do not rush in making decision to swith to new cloud ERP
  • There are around 35,000 GP sites (customers) out there
  • GP is a matured product it will not go anywhere
  • Stay current in GP version
  • There are many good ISVs or 3rd Party product out there - they will continue support GP customers

Extract Journal Entries for Auditors using SQL Query

Twice a year, I receive a request to extract Journal Entries for Auditors.  It could have been done using the Smartlist in Dynamics GP but my End Users didn't want to use it because it is time consuming on their end. We extract into two sets:  January to August and then October to December once they are done with closing their books.  Until today, I'm still using the SQL scripts below and extract the data into Excel. OPEN YEAR select A.OPENYEAR 'Year',            TRXDATE 'Trx_Date', ORPSTDDT 'Originating_Posted_Date', A.JRNENTRY 'Journal_Entry', A.RCTRXSEQ 'Recurring_Trx_Sequence', ORTRXSRC 'Originating_TRX_Source',      A.SOURCDOC 'Source Document',            A.REFRENCE 'Reference',              ORMSTRID 'Originating_Master_ID',        ORMSTRNM 'Originating_Master_Name',             ORDOCNUM 'Originating_Doc_Number', DEBITAMT 'Debit_Amount', CRDTAMNT 'Cr
