Do you often wonder what Dynamics GP version number you are on? We often get questions about the version numbers and it’s easy to get confused by the number sequence. For many years, the version numbers for the Dynamics GP software were consecutive numbers such as 7, 8, 9, and 10. Updates to a version came out as a point release like, 8.5 or 9.5. Starting with release “11”, Microsoft started naming the Dynamics GP releases by the year released, instead of by the next sequential release number. So GP “11” became Dynamics GP 2010 and now GP “12” is Dynamics GP 2013. It was confusing because the change occurred in the year 2010.

Tips to Using Unit Accounts with Variable Allocation Accounts in Dynamics GP
In a previous post, "How to Use Dynamics GP Unit Accounts to Enhance Your Management Reports," we talked about how companies can use Unit Accounts for statistical data to track a company’s performance in Dynamics GP.

In Dynamics GP, Unit Accounts can be used to breakdown or allocate costs at a more granular level, which provides management a clearer picture of how various areas of the company are performing. Predominantly, companies want overhead expenses such as rent or utilities separated by department, location, project, or product.

Dynamics GP and a Get/Change Error on Saving the Customer Card.
Recently a customer was trying to add an email address associated with one of the address IDs. When they tried to save the customer card they received the following error, “A get/change first operation on table ‘doCustBillingAddress’ (45).” We hadn’t seen this specific error before and a Bing search provided no guidance.
