Sorry, just realized you were looking at the open table. Then I would think those are likely stranded records. Could be caused by one or more of the following.

  1. GP crashed while someone was entering a JE and had not assigned a batch to it. Because GP will write the transaction to the database as it is entered it will put the user name in…

Hi Ralph,

In my experience the transactions that are posted from in the transaction (not saved to a batch and then post the batch) usually show the person’s name who posted the transaction as there is technically no batch name to show for those transactions. If you are wanting to use the batch name for reporting purposes you will need to…

I echo what Jo has said. Database names have to be different.

Also, the is a product by Binary Stream that allows you to run multiple legal entities inside 1 GP company, so you can share all your master record information (customers, items, vendors, etc) between the companies if that would make sense in your scenario. We use it and it…

Hi Clay,

Absolutely there is a tool for that. And better yet, you probably have it (might need to be installed and turned on). It is called the Professional Services Tools Library, and referred to as PSTL (pronounced “Pistol”). You can install it from the GP installer. After it is installed you can either update item’s numbers or merge 2…

Hi Howard,

Yes, SSRS would be able to run a report based off of any data in the SQL database. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the payroll module. If there is an out of the box SSRS report, it could be modified to bring in the specific MEM information that you are looking for. I have had to add MEM information to a lot of reports. If…

A few other tips for combining master records

  • Make sure the vendor you are combining into has all the correct data. For example if they have different payment terms, credit limit or GL accounts you need to ensure the destination vendor has the correct values that you want to use for the 1 vendor going forward.
  • The master record combiners do…
