From the Microsoft Dynamics GP Blogs: Translating Vendor ID Numbers; Matching Language Settings; Garnishments

How to Translate Vendor ID Numbers From A Third-Party System: This week, Frank Hamelly, Microsoft Dynamics MVP and author of the blog GP2themax, illustrates how the integration manager can translate vendor ID numbers from a third-party system into the proper format for Microsoft Dynamics GP. After detailing the step-by-step instructions for setting up the translation, he writes: "When you run the integration, the Vendor ID will be automatically translated to the values you specified in the translation table."

Matching Windows and SQL Server Language Settings: It took two screen-sharing sessions for Dave Musgrave, from the Microsoft Dynamics GP Support Team, to figure out why a user's modified Computer Check Report is printing out blank on one particular work station. It turns out, the language settings for Windows must match the language setting in the SQL server. Musgrave notes:

"While checking the regional settings, we noticed that when logged on as an Administrator, there was an additional Advanced Tab on the Regional and Language Options window. Under Windows XP, this tab does not show unless logged in as an Administrator. / This is where we found our difference between the workstations - under the setting Language for non-Unicode programs: Control Panel >> Regional and Language Options >> Advanced tab (must be logged on as Administrator) >> Language for non-Unicode programs."
