If you have grown used to the relatively new Excel Copy/Paste feature in the General Ledger Transaction Entry, you are probably enjoying the benefits of collecting journalized spreadsheets from around the company and simply integrating these into Microsoft Dynamics GP without too much effort.
The fact is, not having to run an integration from another tool for something apparently very simple, always seems to be the way to go.
Recently, however, I ran into a situation where this window had been customized with Modifier (but the same can be said for a third party alternate version of window) by a customer. The customer reorganized a few fields within the window and added a couple others with Modifier to address some specific business needs. As it turned out, the Excel Copy/Paste functionality no longer worked, even though the target fields remained the same. Reverting security to the original window rendered the feature usable once more.
If you must modify this window _and_ still require the Excel Copy/Paste feature, you will need to create an additional user with access to the original (core) window. This is very similar to what's required for Integration Manager to function when a window has been modified with Modifier or changed by a third party product.
Well, now you know! Happy copy/pasting!
Until next post!
