Just a quick update to everyone following this thread: installing the latest CU fixed the formatting issue, but did not resolve the sorting issue. I opened a support case with Microsoft and the support engineer told me that this was a known issue when using the legacy integration. We installed the data mart and the issue was resolved.

Sorting and formatting in Management Reporter
I've got two things going on here and I'm not sure whether or not they're related.
First, my customer has a GL trial balance created in management reporter. It's a very simple report. The row definition has two lines: the first one pulls in the range of balance sheet account numbers and the second one pulls in the range of income statement account numbers. When I click into the trial balance, for the most part it sorts by natural account however some accounts come in out of order. I've already verified that the "Sort by natural or main segment" box has been checked off (in report definition | settings | account & transaction detail) but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the sorting and account numbers still come in out of order.
Second, any time I have a column definition that pulls in the account string, I get an extra separator after the account number. For example, if my AP account is 2000-000, it would show up in all MR reports as "2000-000-" in MR. I'm crossing my fingers that this isn't related to how I set up sorting when we first installed GP and ran the utilities.
Any ideas on either of the above?
We're running GP 2013 R2 with MR version 2.1.9001.11

RE: Fixed asset: how GP allocates depreciation?
I found how...
Not using days... or not completely.. it's a weird mix of "remaining periods" and "days in period".... why make it simple when you can make it hard.. °_° silly GP devs...
Easy and quick would have been to say... 3 days left in june period.. and there are 186 days left in total... 3/186 * 460.46 = 7.426... but why make it logical and easy when you can make it very hard and unfriendly for the users... ☺
So no, what you have to do is: 3 days on the 35 days in the 6th period.. it's a ratio of 3/35 = 8.6%. So the amount of time left is 6 full future periods and 8.6% of one period... or 6.086... 460.46$ to allocate on those 6.086 periods remaining in the year.. so for one period? 460.46/6.086 = 75.66... for 1 period.. so what about june? well it's only 8.6% of a full period... 75.66*8.6% = 6.5$.... differences come from when you decide or not to round numbers.. I have no idea how much and when GP decides to round up but it's pretty much the calcul you have to do.
This method is pretty dumb considering that GP is considering all futures periods as 100% (x 6 periods left)... but all those 6 periods don't necessarily have the same mount of days... so how these periods can be considered being 100% each? 100% of 35 days is absolutely not equal to 100% of 31 days... silly GP devs...
Again, why make is easy when you can make it uselessly hard? Thanks GP for another GreatPain! Oups I mean, GreatPlain my bad! :P

Fixed asset: how GP allocates depreciation?
Hi there,
I have a question about how GP calculates the monthly depreciation. So I have an example:
I have an asset:
Place in service date: 06/29/2016
Cost Basis: 3069.72
Depreciation method: Declining Balance
Averaging convention: half-year
Amortization Pct: 30%
6th period start: 5/28/2016
6th period end: 7/1/2016
Year end: 12/31/2016
According to my calcul: 3069.72*50%*30% = 460.458$ yearly (which GP agrees)
But then, when I request GP to depreciate this asset for the 6th period (end of this period occurs 3 days after placed in service date), GP decides that for this period, it would put an amount of 6.49$. And for every subsequent periods, it would allocate ~75.66$ ((460.458-6.49)/6 periods left to the year). So I understand the yearly rate, I understand that GP will split the depreciation amount left between all the future period..
But how the hell it calculates that 6.49$? There must be a formula that would let me calculate for all other assets that I have.. But I cant find it. I tried with 3 days on 365, on 366, on 218 (may 28 to dec 31), 214 (june 1 to dec 31).. There is no logical pattern that I can find. Anyone knows the exact formula and datas required to be able to reproduce GP first month depreciation for assets?
Thanks for help. I wish I could pay a coffee to the one who will be able to tell me this! :P

RE: Wacky issue with new printer
I have seen this before in other scenarios. Typically it is the print driver. This happens when other programs are able to use the fonts on the current driver and with the update to 2015 R2 it can use more advanced fonts then the current driver. I would recommend updating the print driver to a Post Script driver. The downloads can be found here: http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-4622/downloads/enus.html?operatingSystem=win10x64 There are three that you should look at PCL5, PCL6 and PS. If I was installing then I would start with the PS driver.

RE: What date determines which fiscal year a payroll deduction is included in
During the Calculate Checks process, the system uses the User Date for determining the current year (calendar or fiscal) for the sake of apply deduction & benefit maximums. Hope this helps!

What date determines which fiscal year a payroll deduction is included in
The employee got a pay check dated 7/1, however, they pay period ended 6/25. The deduction had maxed out for the fiscal year (which ends 6/30) and was not included in the 7/1 check. Is the fiscal year for deductions determined by the check date or the period end date?
Thanks!

RE: GP2015: SQL Error with the Letter Writing Assistant
Also, I just discovered that I get the SQL error whenever I enter a Requisition Number that is 5 digits (Step 4) in both the From and To fields. It works as long as the requisition numbers are both less than 5 digits (< 10000), or the From field has less that 5 digits. This makes no sense to me.
For example, I don't get the SQL error when the Requisition number in either the From or To field is less than 10000. Also, I don't get an error when the number in the From field is less than 10000 and the To field is greater that 9999 (10000 and above). Finally, I don't get an error if the From field has a number > 9999 and the To field is 0 (that is, From: 10001 and To: 0 will return all requisition numbers of 10001 and above). This is really strange.
But I get the SQL error when both fields have a number that is greater than 9999 (like From: 10001 and To: 10099).
Thanks.

Row calculation
Is there a way in MR to calculate individual rows. The rows are based on cost of sales items. Management do want to provide the actual cost to the sales personnel. Example: We would like to increase the cost of sales by a multiplier on multiple revenue items, each revenue item having a different multiplier. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Exporting to Excel from Management Reporter
Hello:
We are on Management Reporter 2012 CU13. One of our users is reporting (no pun intended) that it is taking a long time for a P&L statement to export from Report Viewer to Excel.
She access Management Reporter, from her workstation as a fat client. And, the report is only generating at the "Financial" Detail Level.
Anyway, is there in general anything that can be done to speed up the process?
Thanks!

The user can select a customer address ID from a look up in the Receivables Transaction Entry window. I need to pull the phone number associated with this address ID and display it on the report form. I've used RW_RMAddrIDInfo() in the past to pull the phone number associated with the "Bill To" field on the customer card, but can not seem to find a function that reads which ID is assigned in the window and then retrieves the proper phone number. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Activating and inactivating a range of accounts for a transition period.
Hi Along the line Babu mentioned. I recommend you do a 'mail-merge' macro. Use a spreadsheet with your accounts that you want to reactivate as your source and use Word to create a giant macro. You can use the macro template over and over. Where you would normally type your account number, you put a field from your data source. Below is what the macro would look like to update two different accounts. Put the ActivateWindow etc on the same line. No word wrap.
Kind regards,
Leslie

Activating and inactivating a range of accounts for a transition period.
I am wondering if there is a way for us to mass re-activate accounts after they have been inactivated? I’m familiar with using Mass Modify in GP to set up accounts on new locations and using Mass Modify to mass inactivate accounts, but didn’t know the best approach to re-opening accounts on locations. The reason I’m asking is for COMPANY X, when we bring over their GL activity each month we are going to want to open accounts for those locations and then inactivate after we are done making entries to prevent users from accidentally posting additional transactions to those locations. We want to do this so that we can tie back to the figures provided by Company X at least until the accounting is transitioned to Main Location.
And also, is there a way to mass inactivate locations’ accounts because with Mass Modify, I think I’m limited to doing it on a location by location basis.
Thank you
