How to Integrate LS One to Dynamics GP


  • Use Database Maps feature in LS One to map the fields to a custom staging database
  • Use Smartconnect to import and export data to and from GP using the staging database

Dynamics NAV - Item Ledger Entries, Item Journals - Negative Adjustment Item Journal shows up as positive Item Ledger Entry

  • This happens when you put a negative value on a line with a Negative Adjustment type
    • For Item Journals, if you use Negative Adjustment, you must enter a positive quantity for the adjustment
    • NAV will switch the sign accordingly when it posts
    • If you put a negative value in for a Negative adjustment, it will switch it to positive
  • It should be noted that this behaviour only occurs for the Item Journals.
  • Physical Inventory Journals require you to enter a negative value for negative adjustments.

Smartconnect - Export to a Pipe delimited file

http://www.eonesolutions.com/blog-post/creating-fixed-length-output-file-smartconnect/



  • Use a calculated field to combine all of the values into a large string delimited by pipes
    • return _ITEMNMBR + "|" + _ITEMDESC + "|" + _ABCCODE + "|" + _USCATVLS_1 + "|" + _UOMSCHDL + "|" + _ITEMCODE

    • Export only that calculated field to your file as the first column
    • Disable headers

    Dynamics NAV - Purchase Invoice - When posting a purchase invoice, the corresponding G/L lines do not display the line description from the Purchase Invoice

    • C90 Purch.-Post , and C91 Purch.-Post(Yes/No) control this function
    • Search for
    GenJnlLine.Description := "Posting Description";

    • Replace with
    //        GenJnlLine.Description := "Posting Description";
     GenJnlLine.Description := PurchLine."Description";

    Dynamics NAV - LS Retail - POS Internal functions

    All POS Internal functions are stored in C99001570 POS Transaction

    Other Functions are located in C99008900 POS Functions

    Dynamics NAV - LS Retail - Calculate Statement - Multiple safe entry lines are duplicated

    This happens when the [Trans_ Safe Entry] table has duplicates for whatever reason.

    To resolve it, delete the duplicated records out of the [Trans_ Safe Entry] table





     

     
    SELECT * FROM [Safe Statement Line] where [Statement No_] ='000099'

    SELECT * FROM [Trans_ Safe Entry] where [Store No_] = 'SS' and [Statement Code] = 'MYSTMT' and [Tender Type] in (13,14) order by timestamp

    select * FROM [Trans_ Safe Entry] where [Transaction No_] >= 16943 and [Transaction No_] < 16951 and [POS Terminal No_] = 'SS02'

    delete FROM [Trans_ Safe Entry] where [Transaction No_] >= 16943 and [Transaction No_] < 16951 and [POS Terminal No_] = 'SS02'

    Dynamics NAV - LS Retail - POS - The record is not open

    There is another instance of the Run Client running on the machine, ether another user is logged on, or a previous instance has not closed completely.

    Kill any nav instances in the task manager, or restart the machine.

    Outlook Runs Slowly - Not Responding - No Plugins

    The pst file most likely needs to be repaired

    https://support.office.com/en-US/article/Repair-Outlook-Data-Files-pst-and-ost-64842a0a-658a-4324-acc6-ef0a6e3567cd


    • Close Outlook
    • Run C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\scanpst.exe
      • "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\SCANPST.EXE"
    • Repair any errors
    • If you get the error "Quit outlook and all mail related applications" just wait for about 20 seconds, then try again. Outlook takes some time to actually release the files after you've closed it.
