PO Purchases Account Required during PO Entry http://mbsguru.blogspot.com/2009/09/po-purchases-account-required-during-po.html
After collaborating with another consultant to develop a solution to make the PO Line Purchase Account required during Purchases Order Entry I decide to make this available for general use "AS IS" with no warranties.
You can download the .dll here. This has only been tested with GP v10.
This wasn't as simple as just making the field required with Modifier since the Purchasing Item Detail…

Why my PO Number seems to skip randomly? http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2009/12/why-my-po-number-seems-to-skip-randomly.html
The opening goes something like this:
I upgraded from version X.XX [typically 7.x, 8.x] to Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 and now we are having a problem where the next PO number will sometimes jump back in sequence, often many numbers. What's happening to our PO Numbers?
In my previous article,
Why does my next document number change randomly? I gave some insight into why Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 seems to randomly skip document numbers, sometimes backwards. Here is more information on PO Numbers and another method of preventing this…

Error: Posting to table POP30310. Restore from a backup if possible http://janakirammp.blogspot.com/2009/08/error-posting-to-table-pop30310-restore.html
When a Shipment is posted in Receivings Transaction entry screen, we get to see an error in the Posting journal that get printed after posting.
Error: Posting to table POP30310. Restore from a backup if possible
This happens if the line items on the Shipment include items with serial numbers. This issue can be recreated as follows.
1. Create two new items. One that is serialized and the other that is not.
2. Create a PO with both line items (Transactions | Purchasing | Purchase Order Entry)
3. Create a Shipment/Invoice for the PO using both items(Click Actions on Purchase Order Entry window | click receive and invoice…
Why can't I Cancel a Change to a PO? http://greatplainsguy.blogspot.com/2008/02/why-cant-i-cancel-change-to-po.html
Ever make a change to a PO that you didn't want to?
You know, before it's received, like to an item's price or something, and then decide, oh crap, I didn't want to do that!
So, you click the little X in the upper right…

gptip42day - Changing PURCH account in Receiving Transactions http://gp2themax.blogspot.com/2009/12/gptip42day-changing-purch-account-in.html
Beginning with GP9, Service Pack 3 and GP10, Service Pack 2, you can no longer change the PURCH account at the summary distributions level. It must be changed at the line detail level. This was a design change made to help with matching the value in the inventory account in the General Ledger to the value of inventory in the…

gptip42day - Purchase Order Receipt Tolerance http://gp2themax.blogspot.com/2009/10/gptip42day-purchase-order-receipt.html
Do you wonder why GP allows you to over-receive against a PO? So do the rest of us. In my opinion, this is a shortcoming that is basic to exercising adequate control over the purchasing process.
However, if you…

How to make PO field required for specific customer http://mbsguru.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-to-make-po-field-required-for.html

This requirement came up last week and after
Mariano explained how to do it, I went ahead and did it... for fun. Sick, I know.
I posted an
example of using the DUOS a couple of year ago and used that, with very few tweaks, after using Modifier to add a Check Box control to the Customer Maintenance window to store the RequiredPO flag in the DUOS (SY90000) as Mariano suggested. If you have problems converting that…

When an Old Dog Learns a New Trick http://computerationdynamics.blogspot.com/2009/08/when-old-dog-learns-new-trick.html
I re-learned several months back to receive shipments and invoices in the Purchase Order Entry window. This ability was added with, well I guess Version 9 or 10 of
Microsoft Dynamics GP. I’m getting version creep.
Versions back, we had to go to Transactions Purchasing Receivings Transaction Entry…oh darn, it…

From the Newsgroups: Multicurrency POP Receipts http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2010/02/from-newsgroups-multicurrency-pop.html
Welcome to another weekly edition of the new
From the Newsgroups blog entry. This week's topic revolves around Multicurrency POP Receipts and a feature available in GP. As usual, no names will be given out, just the question and the answer.
Q: Functional currency is CAN [Ed: Canadian Dollars]. Item has a receipt that was for qty of 6000 each at .62 each USD currency. Vendor is setup as a US vendor. In the fifo layers it shows a receipt for 5999 at .62 each then another line for a qty of 1 at $12.57. Why is the system showing two lines for this receipt and breaking out the exchange all in one line. The exchange should spread over the qty of 6000 not qty 1.
We know…

Wrong PO Number! http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2008/04/wrong-po-number.html
Welcome to another edition of my blog! This time around, I want to talk -- not literally -- about a common occurrence experimented in many Dynamics GP environments. When the pressure amounts, some company buyers may find themselves accidentally overriding the PO number field, a common misshap that may cause wasted time or the need to void and re-enter the document. Now, think for an instance, if you are using the Manufacturing module or any third-party product how cumbersome the task can become.
Fortunately, there is help on the way! I have developed a script based on a previous post, that will scan for the PONUMBER field in all tables in the company database. The script will automatically produce another script in the Results pane that can be copied and…

An awful lot of folks close Purchase Orders the wrong way. The scenario is this: A P.O. remains partially open due to a vendor's inability to deliver goods in a timely manner. The firm finds an alternate supplier and cancels the P.O.…

If you're working in Dynamics GP and you realize that you need a P.O. that looks a lot like one you did last week, don't re-key all those lines. Use the Create and Copy New PO button under Actions.

Weekly Dynamic - PO Approvals http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2006/08/weekly-dynamic-po-approvals.html
Using PO Approvals in Dynamics GP allows you to control PO approvals within the system. This isn't as sophisticated as some of the requisition options but it works well in many environments. There can also be some alternate uses.
PO Approvals lets you set a limit and basic heirarchy for PO approval. First though, you have to activate it. Go to
Tools-Setup-Purchasing-Purchase Order Enhancements
and check the Activate Approvals…
