Good Morning Rick,
So there are a couple of concerns that you need to think about…
1. Is there any report, check or such that will display the ‘Company’ name and is that going to be the CORRECT LEGAL name that can be used.
For example I have my company registered in both US and Canada with the same name (Nanook Software, Inc) – I do not want US / CND for marketing reasons.
How I get around it is with the <space> trick. Since Dexterity (Programming in Dynamics GP) has code to strip spaces at the beginning and end of the Company Name, you need to **HIDE** the <space> in the Name. I hope the name is NOT a single word.
So for me I use:
Nanook<space>Software,Inc for US
Nanook<space>Software,<space>Inc for Canada
You see the <space> added to the ‘ ,Inc ‘
Now for single word company names, you have a problem – you must add a char somewhere.
You can add an extended ascii char or even a non printing ascii char- with care.
WARNING – DO NOT JUST change it in the SQL Table SY01500, it will create issues. I looked into the source code, you will have problems.
For the users, not to get confused I would suggest using one of the many tools that changes the background colour for each company. (Winthroup – GP Power Tools and WilloWare – GP PowerPack have tools available)
I hope this helps.

Hello Clay,
A couple of *** ADVICE NOTICES ***
- I am assuming you have a Record Retention Policy and are following that. Thus there are no tax records or Management Reporting needed for these customers.
- You have data archived and management has signed off that these can be customers transactions can be removed from the accounting system.
To delete any Customer the following conditions must be true…
- The Customer needs to have a zero balance
- The are no ORDERS for the customer
- ALL transactions are in history
Next, you need to remove all sub-ledger Receivable Transaction and Sales Transaction records.
I always run BOTH, just in case someone entered a sale in SOP or Receivables.
STEPS
- Remove Historical Transactions (Receivable – Non SOP Sales)
- Sales >> Utilities >> Remove Transaction History
- Range = Select ONLY the Customer you want to DELETE
- Verify that ‘Transactions’ and ‘Distributions’ are selected (Bottom left corner)
- Remove Sales History (SOP Sales)
- Sales >> Utilities >> Remove Sales History
- History Type = Transaction
- Range = Select ONLY the Customer you want to DELETE
- Remove both ‘Transaction’ and ‘Distribution’
- DELETE Customer
That is it…

Hi Clay,
To add to Chris’s comments and PSTL tools. These are designed to do a single item at a time.
You can create a macro to do this but if you are talking about 10k or more items this would take a very long time.
To accomplish this you will need to develop code that can manage the process via a mapping file.
The second consideration is if you have 3rd party products. PSTl tools will NOT handle those.
Look to hire a GP data expert.

H Eddie,
So a couple of things here…
1. I am assuming you mean GP 18.6… GP2018 is a different product and is NOT the modern life cycle.
2. What version are you on?
3. You need to have a Support agreement with Microsoft to legally move to 18.6 from and older version.
4. Your partner that pays your support agreement will have access to the software.
Let me know if you need anything else

Hi Christine,
First off, what version of GP are you on? Starting with 2018GP it should pull the name on the check inside PM30200 (VNDCHKNM), not the Vendor Name.
There was a bug in 18.3 that also created this, but fixed in newer releases.
It has nothing to do with address codes…
(I am assuming you are NOT using Mekorma)
If you can provide a pic of the Vendor Card…

So this is a kinda of known issue with 2018 / R2.
The root cause seems to involve the loss of network / SQL activity, including Printer…
Are you using Citrix / RDP?
Do you have a system NOT RDP, and if so, does that have the same issue?
Does this happen on ALL users.
Start with those questions…
I presume it looks like this…

So without seeing the backend SQL, the couple of things that come to mind are…
1. Is there any payments in WORK that may have applied to this invoice also?
2. Did you check for STUCK Batches?
3. Do you use Multi-Currency? Functional / Operational
Otherwise you need to check the Applied Payments Table…
SELECT * FROM RM20201 WHERE APTODCNM = ‘INV0015755’
SELECT * FROM RM30201 WHERE APTODCNM = ‘INV0015755’
These will tell you if anything has been applied to these documents from another ‘broken’ process.

Good Morning Howard,
GP is smart, in that it will use the NEWEST exchange Rate that fits the date range.
(Time is also a consideration)
Example:
Transaction Date = 2024-04-03 it will use 1.37000
EXCHANGE TABLE
DATE TIME RATE EXPIRY DATE
2024-04-04 12:00.00 AM 1.38000 2024-05-01
2024-04-03 12:00.00 AM 1.37000 2024-05-01
2024-04-02 12:00.00 AM 1.36000 2024-05-01
2024-04-01 12:00.00 AM 1.35000 2024-05-01
So if you do Daily and it is NOT an automated process (Manually Entered) I suggest you at least set the expiry date 1 week, incase the person responsible is away.
I would also highly suggest you set the times always to 12:00.00 AM – this makes sure you are doing true days.

Good Morning Calvin…
This is a limitation of National Account, well not really – it is designed to be that way…
A child can not push credits to the parent or another child.
You need to do the following:
1a. Create a debit memo for the child (debit AR, credit Suspense)
1b. Apply the credit memo for the child to this created debit memo
2a. Create a credit memo to parent/other child (debit Suspense, credit AR)
2b. Apply the new credit memo to the parent/other child
