is upgrade required? Not really, but you have to take these factors into
technical support to stop - the old version may not be the support - if you are currently at version 6.0 - support is already discontinued. You can not have Microsoft Business Solutions help you, but it is clear that you have MBS partners WHO continues to help. If you ctree or spread over the structural language queries, then your support expires in December, 31 2004.
tax updates / magnetic media end - and if you have the payroll module in the United States and relies on it with w2 and other forms - must remain with the text, which enjoys the support and updates taxation. If you or ctree language queries structural outbreak - you will not have tax updates for these platforms at the end in 2004 and your w2s possibly inaccurate if you had a lot of staff - you may have government.
with technology issues following the rules and Microsoft -- -- Microsoft wants you to be the latest Platform and provide the best support when you follow this rule
If you have heavy conditioning - we recommend that you jump on one copy, for example, if you are on version 7.5 - not upgrade to 8.0 and wait L version
what next upgrade is in the language of technology? The upgraded server and client sides.
server side - upgraded conversion tables from the old to the new format. Words in general - Microsoft Business Solutions developers change the structure of the table in May, attaching additional areas to add new jobs, things of that nature. Upgraded versions table with a temporary change in the table, then drops original table, although it re-formation of a new structure and copies all the data from table to the official provisional newly created one.
work side - the work is written in Great Plains and skill dynamics.exe - engine and dynamics.dic - lexicon. In addition to all these additional files will be replaced with new ones. Other dictionaries, and we reports.dic This should be forms.dic, upgraded and also to try to raise the level to deal with them automatically. In some cases modify reports in reports.dic) can not be the need to be upgraded and the new version.
what privatization is the promotion? We must think of different types of manipulation: skill, VBA / rate, the language of structural queries, reportwriter, crystal reports
skill conditioning - are very short - skill may have what is called usually forms - and this does not need to upgrade -- They should work as is, then skill may alter existing Great Plains forms (even - called alternative forms Great Plains) - in this case the skill should be the privatization of these forms redone / screens. Additional consideration should be given skill to produce, shadow tables, etc.
VBA / conditioning rate - the rate allows you to modify existing Great Plains and Windows - creates what is called the Great Plains and modify Windows, stored in forms.dic. Usually is an amendment put buttons or new areas, which in turn will be given VBA scripts (stored in dynamics.vba). VBA scripts may call something Nice, such as crystal report, or some data access logic. Usually the old version of dynamics.vba workds with the new version. You may need to rearrange buttons to adjust structural form.
language queries - you may have some stored procs for data integration, EDI or the like - if they are addressed tables will be changed in the new version, then you need to analyse the language Queries structural your blog. Good news is - Microsoft& 39;s business solution does not make a lot of changes since version 7.0, because Microsoft is now trying to integrate products owned by: Great Plains, Solomon, navision and axapta - and even priorities
reportwriter different - MBS does not change tables, But keep changing skill formulas used originally reportwriter reports - and this is the problem - upgrade called modified reports - usually you have to amend these reports: Sob Sob vacuum invoice form vacuum picking up the ticket, and whether the report can not upgrade -- It should be redone in the new version with some exceptions.
crystal reports - Nice thing about self-crystal - identity does not need to upgrade (if fields in the tables exist in a new version of - which are usually true statement)
what Is upgraded to a third party units? Your Great Plains until May - called for a third party units: mekorma, kampdata, horyzon, wennsoft, avalara, truepay, Trinity, intellisol to the party& 39;s name few
third special units may be useful for promotion. You only need to know that your third-party, is ready for the great plains of the new version - if not - you just wait and stay on the old version.
what is the migration from ctree / 2000 to Ms. pervasive.sql language queries Structural / msde? MBS has migration tool. Will first need to install Great Plains on structural language queries with the server exactly the same account / segments structure and then install migration tool (which is the skill of a section) of your ctree / outbreaks of action - after that, when integrated into a section - will map to target language queries based structural The company Great Plains, and the system of selection of each company tables, click the button and will move all your tables one after the other. In the case of the Great Plains where the ctree / outbreaks have third parties - you need to know whether the seller has a tool for Migration - otherwise you have to do manual move and use the language queries structural server to connect your legacy data
do I need a consultant ? It is likely that a good idea to have consultant to do promotion. We strongly recommend you to use a consultant in the following cases
your skill customization
you do widespread migration / Ctree to Microsoft server language queries structural / msde, especially when you have third parties without migration tools
you have a lot reportwriter amend or Great Plains reports
you have a copy Old from the Great Plains: the dynamics or 6.0 or before eenterprise - in this case you can not appeal to Microsoft technical support - is to stop your
the Great Plains more than 20 employees, you need to do to raise it during the weekend -- If they fail - has problems
business do not have the support - in this if you have to select Microsoft Business Solutions partner and pay the annual support / Promotion Plan - would get the new registry key, and will be ready for promotion
