Monday At Convergence 2012

We had a great Monday at Convergence 2012. I had the privilege to be a part of the GP General Session and we got lots of positive feedback on the demos via Twitter. If you missed it we showed off Business Analyzer on a Windows Phone and Windows 8 Tables PC along with the GP 2013 web client and some great CRM/Business Analyzer analytics that are available today.

I'll post a link to the video if it goes up.

Microsoft announced that the next version of GP will be Dynamics GP 2013 due in calendar Q4 of 2012.

This is not just a web client release, there are more than 150 new features including mass depreciation undo.

I.B.I.S. gave away a pile of Microsoft Dynamics GP Cookbooks and I happily signed them all. At one point the line for the books was longer than the line for the bar. We're calling that a Convergence record.

I also got lots of great feedback on 50 Ways to Close the Month Faster and the Worst Mistakes presentations from DayOne

While I had nothing to do with this interesting trend, I'm fully in favor of it going viral:

You can throw a rock around here without hitting an MVP so it's been a lot of fun. Today is full of sessions. If you're attending come up and say hi!

Weekly Dynamic: Negative Debit (or Credit)

When entering account transaction data in Dynamics GP, the system tries to be helpful and puts the cursor in the debit or credit column based on the debit/credit setting in account setup. This is great until you want to debit an account with a default credit balance and vice versa.

You can obviously tab or shift-tab to get to the right field or you can move to the appropriate field with your mouse. Or…

You can stay where you are and enter the item as a negative.

If you enter a negative debit Dynamics GP automatically enters it as a credit. Negative credits become debits.

Every so often this saves my sanity.

Convergence 2012 Sunday

#CONV12 Convergence 2012 is here. Partners have gotten an early look at the next release of GP and it's awesome. I've also gotten a sneak peek at the GP general session content where the next version of GP will be showcased and you won't want to miss it. There are definitely some memorable moments.



#GPUG sessions are going on as I type followed by Daughtry tonight. Airplane issues have delayed some folks but I've already seen Dave Musgrave, Mariano Gomez, Frank Hamelly and Leslie Vail so the MVPs are out in force her to help users.



Don't be shy. Stop us and introduce yourself.
