SSRS - How to alternate row / record colors

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/44376/add-alternating-row-color-to-sql-server-reporting-services-report

=iif(RunningValue(Fields![rowgroupfield].Value.ToString,CountDistinct,Nothing) Mod 2,"Gainsboro", "White")

Dynamics NAV - LS Retail - Retail Receiving - Purchase Order - Lines display "Not Ordered"

This happens when the original purchase order has an incorrect location code assigned to the lines.
This is only possible if a purchase order is created using the regular purchase order screen instead of the Retail Purchase Order screen.

Resolution:

• Using the Retail Purchase Order Screen, set the location code for all lines to the correct location.
• Re-enter all qtys to populate the "qty to receive" correctly

Dynamics GP - Items Received or adjusted in at incorrect cost. How do i fix it?

• Whenever an item is received at an incorrect cost, this is the full scope of all affected areas
• Incorrect Unit price on Purchase Receipt
• Item Cost in FIFO layer is incorrect (if using FIFO costing)
• Item Cost in Average Costing will calculate incorrectly (if using Average Costing)
• Incorrect Vendor Invoice total if generating AP invoice from receipt
• Incorrect Originating Invoice cost will come up the next time you purchase the item
• Current Cost on the Item card is incorrect
• Additional errors that snowball if this is not detected
• Item cost on all transfers is incorrect
• Item cost on all sales is incorrect
• Item cost on all returns is incorrect
• Item cost on all adjustments is incorrect
• Item cost on all assemblies / manufacturing is incorrect
• GL Values APPEAR incorrect, but these will match the subledger correctly
• Users may incorrectly assume the GL is inaccurate, and pass journals to adjust the values which in turn CAUSES the subledger to differ from the GL

• To Correct this situation
• Method 1 - No other transactions have happened against this item as yet - Purchase Return
• If possible, a purchase return should be done immediately to reverse the receipt
• A proper receipt should be re-done at the correct cost
• Method 2 - GL is open, Other transactions have already occurred - Adjust Cost Utility
• Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Utilities > Inventory > Adjust Cost
• Select The receipt layer at the incorrect cost, and change the cost to the correct cost
• This will cause the system to go through ALL transactions where that cost layer used, and pass adjusting entries to the GL and Subledger to reflect the new cost

• If you have also received an incorrect quantity, you can
• Pass a negative adjustment to remove the stock at the old price, then adjust it back in at the correct price
• If you have already done the cost adjustment, you can use the Stock count module to set the stock to the correct quantity

SSRS - how to pass a multi-valued parameter to a stored procedure

Solution obtained from:

http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/90049/how-to-pass-multi-valued-characters-in-ssrs-report

To pass multi-values correctly in this stored procedure, I would need to add the following code to the dataset parameter that I am using:

=join(Parameters!<your param name>.Value,",")

This is basically going to join multiple values into an array and pass it through the @Flag parameter. The next step is adding SQL to the stored procedure to receive and digest the values correctly so it reads the values with the IN clause:

Google search any UDF string parser online. There are many to choose from. I used 
dba_parseString_udf from Michelle Ufford, http://sqlfool.com.

Once I had my UDF installed, I can now alter my IN clause to receive the new multi-valued parameter being passed by SSRS as followed:

WHERE [Flag] IN (SELECT * FROM dba_parseString_udf(@Flag, ','))

Therefore, SSRS will pass the following value:

@Flag = 'A,B,C'

Then my UDF will parse that string out correctly to:

A
B
C

And populate my @Flag parameter correctly with SELECT * FROM UDF()...

Dynamics GP - Close partial In-Transit Transfer documents and move them to history

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/871916

The first step is the update this record in the SVC00700 to a 6. After you have updated the record to a status of 6, you can run two stored procedures to move the record to the history table. Here are the two scripts:
UPDATE SVC00700 SET STATUS = 6 WHERE ORDDOCID = 'TransferNumber'
exec SVC_Transfer_TransferToHistory 'TransferNumber'

Dynamics NAV - Purchasing - Overhead Applied account must have a value

This occurs when a Purchase Line has a value in the Indirect Cost % field.

This field automatically populates if the user changes the value in the Unit Cost (LCY) field.
NAV will assume that the difference between the Direct Unit Cost and the Unit Cost (LCY) field should be populated to the Indirect Cost %

To resolve this issue, clear the Indirect Cost % field on each affected line to allow the Unit Cost (LCY) field to recalculate/

Dynamics GP - Backup and Disaster Recovery - Best Practices

• GP File Backups
• Backup all Dictionary files in network shares
• Backup all Dictionary files on local machines if users are using local customized dictionaries
• Export all customizations and backup all package files
• Tools>Customization>Customization Maintenance
• Select All
• Export
• If clients are using separate customized dictionaries, export customizations for each client
• (Optional) Backup the Dynamics GP folder on the server
• SQL Backups
• Take a FULL backup of the DYNAMICS database and all company databases on a daily basis
• If this proves to be too large, differential backups should be taken daily, and FULL backup set weekly
• VM Backups
• If the SQL server is on a VM, keeping a copy of the VM is the easiest way to take a backup of the system
• This should be done IN ADDITION to all of the above backups
• This will only guarantee a working VM. There is always a chance the SQL within the VM can get damaged, and you will need your SQL backups
